You got up and grabbed your shirt. You slid it on. You glanced back at Ashton, he sat up and smiled at you. You ran over and jumped next to him on the bed.
"So why are we getting dressed?" Ashton said.
"We have pizza next door," Calum explained, you could hear in his voice how excited he was for pizza.
You looked at Ashton worried. "Okay, we will be there in a second."
"Don't turn that into a quickie," Calum said as he walked out of the room closing the door behind him. You looked at Ashton and laughed.
"C'mon, baby, you can do this, you don't even have to eat a lot, I just want you to start eating," he said smiling down at you.
"What about the fans? How are we gonna tell them?" you asked.
"One step at a time, we will get there someday," you nod your head, Ashton gets up and grabs his shirt, he slips it on, then reaches out for your hand. You take his and you both walk next door. Calum opened the door, to let you in. You could smell the pizza from outside. Mickey and Luke were sitting on the floor around a box of pizza. Micheal threw you a water bottle with one hand and held a slice of pizza with the other. You caught the bottle and said, "thanks." You really didn't want to eat, but you felt like you were hurting Ash when you didn't.
You picked up the piece of pizza, "Don't think about it," Ashton whispered into your ear. You took a bite. Chewed it and swallowed. Your stomach flipped, you grabbed the water bottle and took a drink.
Your stomach hurt, but you didn't think you were gonna throw up. After about 5 minutes you took another couple of bites, but you didn't finish.
Everyone but you and Luke had gone out to a bar, but you and Luke weren't old enough so you stayed in. You and Luke we sitting on the bed, watching TV, Luke was smiling at you.
"What?" you said.
"I'm proud of you," he said nudging you.
"Why? I'm a complete mess," you said frowning and looking at your hands in your lap.
"No your not, you ate today. That is a start. I don't think you know how much Ash loves you."
"What are you talking about?" you say confused.
"Right after you said yes to going to a movie with Ashton he called me. He was so nervous, he asked me a ton of questions. He still gets that nervous. He doesn't want you to leave him. When he's not with you, he constantly checks his phone to see if you have texted or called him."
"Really?"
"Mmmmmhmmm," Luke said nodding.
"No, he doesn't," Luke turned and looked at you.
"You're really testing me on this? I have seen Ashton's face every day for the past 2 years. Text him right now, I'll give you a dollar a minute, and if it takes longer than 10 minutes I'll give you 20 dollars if it takes under 10 minutes u give me 20."
"Cash?" you asked.
"Yep."
"Deal," you giggle shaking Luke's hand. You grab your phone, unlock it then text Ashton
U: How drunk are you right now?
"Time starts now," You said laughing, then after about a minute your phone buzzs.
A: not that drunk, Cal is on beer 3, but you should worry about Mike, we stopped counting...
U: hahaha be home soon Luke is annoying
U: and he's taking my money!! 😐
A: 😬😬 y r u making bets?
U: cuz they're fun. bye!!😋😋
You lock your phone and look up at Luke "You win," you pout.
"Awe I'm gonna take your money unless you come and cuddle." He says.
"Looks like you're taking my money," you say laughing.
Luke frowned "pleeaaassssseeeee," he wined.
"You're such a baby!" You giggle then throw yourself on the bed next to him and cuddle into him. He was the closest thing you had to a brother left.
