ASHTON'S POV:

The drive was short. We arrived at a small house. "Alright Ash, we're home." Mikey said as we all exited the car. "Ha I remember this place, but do we all really still live here?" I asked. "Uh yeah, Calum and Michael mostly though, me and you usually stay somewhere else." Luke said blushing as Michael and Calum giggled in the background, which was weird. " Okay whatever" I grunted.

We walked into the house. It looked nice. The smell of pizza lurked throughout the whole house, which made me hungry."Well, your room is down the hall the third door on the right if you wanna go check it out." Calum said as he made his way to the couch. "Alight thanks." I said still not really sure what to say or how to talk to any of them. I walked down the hall there was pictures of all of us on stage performing at shows or gigs we had I which I remember being in. But there was one which is didn't recall, which made me feel bad.

I opened the door of a room I haven't been in, in at least 10 years. There were posters all over the walls of bands.The bed wasn't made and there was clothes all over place. And there were shelves full of records. I sat in a chair at the small desk taking it all in. Just like I remember it. Was this really happening? I am really 20again?

There was a knock at the door. "C-come in." I said grimly still looking around my old room."Hey Ash." Luke said with a big grin on his face.

Oh god.

"Hey Luke." I said not making eye contact trying to ignore him the best I could in hopes he would just leave.

"Listen Ashton, I don't know what's your problem or why you're acting like an asshole to me lately, but listen here. Everything you thought happened didn't alright. I'm not who you think I am, Mikey isn't who you think he is and neither is Calum. And if you thought this band got torn apart well guess what it didn't. We're here, we're going on our own tour in less then 3 months. And I'm not gonna let some douche bag who has taken away my best friend ruin it." Luke hissed.

I just looked at him with a scowl on my face.

I could see there was tears in his eyes which softened my stern face. Something about his presence made me  feel the way Anna made me feel, safe . But I still hate him of course.

"Michael is ordering Chinese take out. Till be here in ten if you care to join us ." Luke said with tears till in his eyes as he walked out and slammed the door.

I sat on my bed looking at the walls that were filled with posters of bands such as Nirvana,Blink 182 and Goldfinger. Still confused as to what was going on, questions still ran through my mind. What happened to me? How did I get here?

I let myself slip into a day dream of Anna and what we could be doing and how much I miss her.

Fifteen minutes went by  and I was pulled back to reality when I herd the doorbell ring. I decided to go down stairs

LUKE'S POV:

After talking to Ash I went into my room and closed the door behind me. I cant believe it. He hates me, the love of my life hates me...

As I was sitting their pondering the new fact the Ashton hates me and doesn't remember our relationship I hear a knock at the door.

"Come in" I said, hoping to god it wasn't Ashton. I couldn't take seeing him again while I'm like this.

"Hey mate, you okay?" Calum said as he walked through my door. "Listen, I know this is hard on you, and that obviously Ashton doesn't remember you two being together, but its going to be okay. We just have to remember that this is more hard on him than it is on us." Calum said in comforting voice as he sat beside me.

"But Cal, its hard on me! He thinks he's straight! He thinks he is 30, has kids and has a wife! A wife Cal! How straighter can he get!?! I quietly shouted trying to get my point across.

"Hey hey hey, its alright. Maybe he just needs time, and maybe he will forget and start to remember you two, and the band, and all of us. Who we are, or to him, who we used to be. " Calum replied.

We sat there and cuddled a bit, we continued to talk, we talked about how all this is going to workout, how we would prepare for tour, and what we were going to do about Ashton, and to see if he remembers any songs. Before we knew it the doorbell rang and the food was here.

CALUM'S POV:

Luke and I went down stairs and met Michael in the living room where all the food was set up on the coffee table ready to be eaten.

Michael was already half way done with his food before we even realized that Ashton wasn't there.

"Well.. should someone go get him?" Michael said with a mouth full of food. "I don't know, I honestly don't care. Not like he wants to see us anyways." Luke grunted as he sat down on the couch.

"Really Luke, come on. You're really just gonna push hate towards him?" Calum said rolling him eyes.

"Ha you know what its fine, Hemmings can do whatever his little heart desires." Ashton said standing in the door way.

I saw Luke eyes carefully look up knowing him he regretted what he said immediately. He could never say hateful things towards  Ash.

Don't get me wrong Ashton was a totally different person. It's crazy how he thinks we all hate each other and that he's married and stuff.

"So..." I said looking around at all the boys, hoping to get some good vibes. But the only ones were coming from Michael with his face stuffed full of food completely oblivious as to what's going on.
.....
ASHTON'S POV:

Gathered around a large coffee table, Calm tried to make small talk. Between the chatter
I couldn't help but focus on Luke. His hair was messy, I could tell he had been running his fingers through it. He does that when he's stressed. His eyes look sad but it add to his beauty...

I felt my heart begin to race.  And a small pressure in my pants as I continued looking at him.

What  the fuck? What's going on...

"Umm I must excuse myself..." I said as I quickly jumped up from the ground.

"Ash, what's wrong anything was going sort of good..." Michael said with a mouth full of food.

"I just can't be here right now. I need time to myself. Please excuse me" I stuttered as I was leaving the room.
. . .
I rushed to my room and slammed the door behind me.

I had to get out of there.

"What the hell was that?!?" I said to myself trying to catch my breath.

Luke didn't say a word to me the whole time we were eating. Not that I would want him to, the man is the reason why we all broke up in the first place.  But of course that didn't happen. Or a least not yet.

But why would something like that happen?!?! Why would I think those things?!?!? I'm not gay! I'm straight!!I'm not attracted to Hemmings?!? I love Anna.
