Chapter 16

*Luke's P.O.V*

Michael and his mom were mixing the batter and pouring it onto the pan while I just watched them. I felt bad for just sitting here and not being any help.

"Is there anything I can do?" I asked, kicking my feet back and forth.

Michael turned to me and then looked around the kitchen.

"I think you're doing a fine job sitting there and being perfect," he smiled and kissed my cheek.

I blushed and nodded my head, jumping off the counter. I walked up the stairs and into Michaels room. Plopping down on his bed, I pulled the blankets up to my neck. After finding a comfy position to lay in, I curled up in a ball and closed me eyes. Beginning to slowly fall asleep, I could hear Michael and his mom moving around downstairs. The last thing that coukd enter my brain before I fell into a deep sleep was the pitter patter of feet coming upstairs and the door to the room squeaking open.

--

When I woke up, I was still alone in th bed. Calling out Michael's name a few times, I sat up in the bed and tried to rub the sleep from my eyes. Hearing strides bounding up the steps, a wide smile etched itself onto my face as the door was opened.

Michael was standing at the door, his hand holding onto the knob tightly as his chest heaved up and down.

"Im so out of shape," he spoke breathlessly, taking deep breaths as we walked over to the bed.

I giggled softly and held my arms out for him, making grabby hands also. He tried to stop his mouth from curving into a smile, but he failed terribly.

He walked over to me and crawled under the covers, pulling my body closer to his gently. Nuzzling my head into his neck, i bresthed slowly and heavily.

"Do you want to do something?" He asked quietly as he ran his fingers through my

I nodded my head softly as I glanced up at him. A smile grew on his face and he arood out of the bed. Grabbjng my hand, he pulled me out of the bed and down the stairs into the living room.

He sat me down as he fetched out multiple different movies. He tuned off the light and closed the curtains to make it darker. He popped in a movie and situated himself beside me.

We managed to get through a movie and we just started another one when he stood up quickly after checking his phone.

"Whats wrong?" I asked.

"I have to go to work," he spoke, rushing to get all his things together.

I frowned and looked down at my lap. He was just about to leave out the door before he turned around, quickly running my way and kissing my cheek.
Sighing, I continued to watch the movies all by myself. Eventually i got bored of watching movie after movie and decided to go for a walk.

It was the late afternoon and it was partly cloudly. There was a slight breeze blowing against my face but it was refreshing.

Making the best of my small departure, I made my way to the small supermarket I worked at. Walking in there reminded me of why I had this job.

Walking to the managers office, I knocked on the slightly opened door, peeping in. Once I hear a faint "come in", I pushed the door open and walked in.

He seemed pleased to see me, but he wasnt very pleased to hear what I had to say. He understood, wishing me luck with my life and blah blah blah.

It was only 3:32pm so I decided to do something that might or might not end bad.

I made my way down the oh so familiar streets until I reached the place I never thought Id return to. But here I am.

I took a deep breathe as I walked to the appartment. Usually no ones home so I really hope I can grab my things and leave.

I lifted up the door mat where the spare key always was. Picking up the key, I opened the door and tiptoed inside. Walking into thr living room, i grabbed my small bag of things and quickly left the house.

I locked the door and put the key under the mat before quickly getting out of there. After all that I still had some time to do whatever I wanted, so I decided to take a small little walk in the park. Maybe pick up some flowers for Michael and swing on the swings for a bit. You're never too old I say.

The walk to the park was long and boring, but when I got there relief filled my whole body. I trudged over to the swings, plopping myself down and setting my back to the side so it wouldnt get in my way.

I swung on the swing for a good fifteen, maybe twenty minutes before i decided to get up. Flinging my bag back around my arms, I started to make my way along the nice stone path that was neatly planned out.

As I was walking, I heard a voice call out my name from behind me. The figure quickly jogged towards me, and as it got closer and closer I could see it was Ashton.

A smile grew on my face as I walked to meet him somewhat. When I reached him, he pulled me into a tight hug that made me feel like my lungs had popped out. After he pulled away, we began talking and I had to explain why I quit my job. Im not sure if he felt bad that I had to stay in that job, or if he was happy that I left.

I should of kept the job, but I didnt like working there. Ill get together a resume and ill go aplly to a few places.

Aside from all my thoughts I really enjoyed being with Ashton outside of work.

That is until he showed up.
