I Need You

Chapter 11

Natalie

Holy shit he just kissed me. As Ashton pulled away he laid back down and said goodnight to me. This didn't solve any problems, does he know it didn't solve any problems? If anything it made them worse! Now what do I do? My thoughts were interrupted as I felt Ashton's arms reach out and grab my waist. "Come cuddle babe."
I lay down next to him and he puts his arms around me and holds me closer, he kisses my neck and whispered to me "I'm glad we admitted we like each other, because I've been wanting to hold you in my arms again."
Ashton snuggled back into me again and quickly fell asleep. Oh god what am I supposed to do now? Do I like him? Yes. Do I like what's happening right now? Yes and no. I like Ashton but... I honestly cannot be associated with him like this. He's toxic for me, but.... Something about him makes me feel like... I need him.
I guess I fell asleep because when I woke up it was daylight. Ashton was still cuddled into me and I could hear Emily talking to Luke.

Emily

I woke up to see a shirtless Luke, fast asleep. I admired him for a little while until his eyes fluttered open. "Good morning princess" he said with a sleepy smile. "Good morning Luke" I said with a smile. I looked towards where Natalie was sleeping, only to see an Ashton and not a Natalie. "Oh my god Luke! Look!" I said as quietly as possible. "Holy shit they're in the same bed" Luke was now staring at the two, so was I. "I knew that would work." I said with a smile.
"What would work?"
I nervously laughed and looked down and messed with my hands, "I figured if we were in the same bed they would have to.. Ya know be in the same bed and possibly admit they like each other" Luke looked down. "So you don't like me..?"
"I do like you Luke. I actually like you a lot but.."
He sighed. "Not in that way, that's fine." He got up and started walking towards the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower." And he was gone.
I sighed and hid my face in pillows. Why am I so stupid?

Luke
I headed into the bathroom to shower, but first I texted Michael. We may fight a lot but he's always there to talk.

To Mikey: she friend zoned me. Like bad Mikey. After we cuddled together ):

I waited a few minutes until he responded.

From Mikey: I thought she already friend zoned you. C'mon bro just do some romantic shit and she will probably fall for you, who knows.

To Mikey: wow, and I wonder why you're single!

I smiled at my comeback and turned on the shower. My phone buzzed as soon as I was about to step in.

From Mikey: people can't handle all of this. That's why I'm single.

To Mikey: whatever you say. Should I invite Emily into the shower? Is that romantic enough or is that too soon?

From Mikey: .... For fucks sake Hemmings.

I take that as a no.

Ashton

I woke up with Natalie still in my arms. I smiled and laced my fingers with hers. "Good morning"
She instantly removed herself from me and got up. "Morning."
She walked over to Emily and grabbed her arm. "Me and Emily are going for a walk, bye." And with that, she was out the door. What did I do now?

A/N hiiii hope you enjoyed.
