Forbidden - Lashton

Chapter 5 - luke

There hasn't been a time in my life where I said sorry and didn't mean it until I came across Prince Ashton. I was happy when I saw him. He was well and had that confident look in his eyes still. It was something I've always admired when I met him. He basically made me into a better person and without him, I wouldn't have been able to see another point of view in certain things and certain ways.

I might've written a letter for Ashton when we were younger but I never gave it to him. We had our first argument, somewhere outside the kingdom. Pain was sewed into our hearts that day and I don't think it was ever removed. It hurt that we weren't talking for a whole year and I couldn't take it anymore so I did something about it and walked up to him, to at least confront him about it. He took it surprisingly well, I thought he'd lash out onto me like I thought he would but I was wrong.

As Ashton and Michael walked away from me, I grabbed out the letter I wrote for Ashton from underneath my shirt. Michael looked back on me and saw me holding a piece of paper but he didn't do anything, he turned his head around as he continued walking. I looked back at the letter and gripped at it as I read every word.

"You came into my life as an unwelcome face,
Not ever knowing our friendship, I would one day embrace.
As I wonder through my thoughts and memories of you,
It brings many big smiles and laughter so true.

I love the special bond that we beautifully share,
I love the way you show you really care,
Our friendship means the absolute world to me,
I only hope this is some thing I can make you see.

Thank you for opening your mind and your soul,
I will do all I can to help heal your hearts little holes.
Remember, your secrets are forever safe within me,
I will keep them under the tightest lock and key.

Always remember... if you're ever needed,
I will try to be, the best friend I can possibly be.

Thank you for trusting me right from the start.
I am so happy I felt that embrace.
You truly have a wonderful heart, even if you don't know it yet.

X Luke"

Just knowing you used to know someone and watch them walk away is painful especially when it's hard to let go even if you're acting like it's a piece of cake. Apparently it's not. Sometimes people do move on but other times people don't move on and I'm one of those people who can't. I thought I could move on but when I saw him again, standing there, I just wanted time to freeze.

I know I've been talking about him behind his back with Calum but in honest truth, I miss him. He was a good person with a good heart just misunderstood. He can be selfish and stubborn and an asshole at times but I know who he really is. I don't think I can live my life without hearing his name for at least one day.

"If someone really wanted you in their life, they would have came back running to you by now." Is what Prince Calum had once told me.

What can I do? What can he do? What can Prince Ashton do? I'm just a garbage looking knight who's willing to protect those in need no matter the cost and there's at least millions of me willing to do the same thing.

I got back on my horse and headed back to the town and went straight to the fanciest looking place there is here, where Prince Calum is staying at. I stopped my horse in front of the place and got off and walked inside the building, greeting almost all guards here who are drinking away. I went up the stairs to enter Calum's stay-in room. He was standing by a window, his arms crossed behind his back as he watched the tint looking stars up in the sky.

"Calum. Prince Calum" I said getting his attention. I walked in further in the room as he turned around to see me.

"Where'd you head off to? Did something catch your eye, ahem, Prince Ashton?"

I shook my head, "No, I had no luck in finding a single trace of him. I just needed to get away to catch some fresh air."

"Luke, you know you can trust me. You can tell me anyt–"

"I swear to you your highness, that I am not hiding anything from you."

"If your so sure then fine. You know how much my kingdom means to me and I'll soon be king just as Ashton and I never want to go to war with anyone. I want peace, unless of course it's an alliance."

"Yes your highness, I'd do the same. I'll tell you if I have any leads on him."

"Good, I'm glad you understand. It's midnight, you should get some sleep. I'll be heading to sleep as well. Tomorrow is a big day, you don't want to be tired and sulky."

I nodded and left out his room. I went to the room with all bunk beds in it. No one was in here except me, everyone else is downstairs. I took off my armor and equipment to the side on the bed and laid down, releasing almost every tense feeling I didn't think I had.

Calum's right, tomorrow is a big day and I've been too worked up today and I can't afford to be slacking off. I didn't have many thoughts roaming in my head like they used to back then when it would be time for me to sleep.

There's only been one thing that was on my mind through this whole ride here.

And it's no other than Ashton Fletcher Irwin.
