Never Be

Chapter 19

"What the hell is going on here?!" Ashton screams making Like and I jump off each other. It came off as a reflex. We didn't even think about it.

"Uh... Ashton... Um... Hi! I'm awake!" I ditch the conversation and try to divert it on me being awake.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Madison Emma Irwin do not try and change the conversation. What did you not understand about the conversation we had?!" Ashton said sternly. I looked down.

"I...." My voice faint, not even a whisper.

"So? I'm waiting."

I stayed silent.

"Madison! Talk."

"YOU." I scream. He tilted his head. "Its you that I don't understand! Now, I don't know what happened, but my brother Ashton is gone. He's not there anymore. You, you're not the guy that I used to be best friends with. I felt comfortable talking to you once. But now..." I take a shaky breath. "I don't know what happened." I shook my head and looked over at Luke for half a second and ran out of the house completely blanking everyone who was trying to talk to me and... To be honest, I don't even know where I'm going.

I wrapped my cardigan around me, completely freezing since I didn't bring a coat and sped-walked forward towards the park that seems to relax me every time I go there.

I walked through the green gate and walked along the path through the trees in the woods. I watched my breath steaming out of my mouth and focused on how it disappeared into thin air. Well that's ironic.

I don't know what Ashton's problem is. After all, all Luke and I did was kiss, not anything else and that's what I don't understand. He always thinks he knows what's best for me and everything, but he really doesn't. He doesn't know what's right or wrong and even if he did, he has to let me live my life the way I want to. Although, he can give me advice from time to time, but not be the bossy person he's been the past few days.

I sat on a bench in the middle of the trees and felt the cold breeze hit my face almost instantly. It was freezing. My ears were numb and the tip of my nose had become red.

I had tears in my eyes. I honestly did not know what to do. My brother was being mean and I just got kissed by Luke. About that...

I think I might have feelings for that tall blonde. Its all because the cliché things have been happening to me. I don't understand. The sparks, the feelings, the way he looks at me, the way those small moments we share are something really special. I don't know what's happening. Its all so fast. I haven't been in a relationship since Jason, and he was my first ever boyfriend. I told myself I should be careful on who I date and it can't be the guys who look the most attractive or popular with the girls.

But for some sort of reason, that plan went to hell.

Luke is nothing like he seems. He is really insecure about himself and he just needs that kind of push and help through insecurities and that's what I did with Ashton when he went through this. I helped him. I gave him the push. And I don't know how, but I managed to help him.

As I looked out at the trees in front of me I heart some rustling in the trees and bushes. That actually scared the shiz out of me. I turned around from behind me and I couldn't believe who it was.

He was standing there with leaves in his quiffed up hair and a blanket in one hand. He was wearing a navy blue coat and looked sorry for some sort of reason.

Why was Luke sorry?

"H-hey..." He waved halfheartedly. I smiled at him and patted a spot next to me on the bench for him to come sit down.

"Hi." I smiled weakly while he sat next to me.

"Its freezing out here, how come you didn't bring a coat?" He says wrapping the blanket around me, but since I could see he was cold too, I took one end of the blanket and wrapped it around him. He looked quiet shocked when I ended up snuzzling into his chest.

The blanket was holding us together and his body heat was really comforting. We sat there in silence, Luke's heartbeat went perfectly with the sounds of the chirping birds and that was the only thing audible.

I had only realized I was trembling when Luke started pulling me closer to him which made my body soften and become less tense. His chin rested on my head and I was still snuggled into his chest. For some reason I absolutely loved it.

"So, about what happened earlier...." He rubbed my back soothingly. "I'm sorry, I wasn't meant to do that..." He blushed slightly.

"You know what Luke? I'm glad you did that." I say truthfully. "To be honest, I really like you Luke." I say without thinking. Oh my god what did I just do? Can't you just shut the fudge up Madison? Do you always have to speak your mind? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ALWAYS THINKING SO MUCH?!

"Y-you do?" He asks as barely a whisper. I feel my face heat up and a blush crawling up my cheeks. Oh my goodness, I just doomed myself.

"Um... Yeah- no- I- well..." I stutter. Oh great, now I'm just making a fool of myself. But instead of saying anything, I look up, still really close to him and he stares straight into my brown eyes with his icy blue ones.

"I really like you too..." He says. What? What did he say? Did Luke Hemmings, my brother's best friend, a lead singer and guitarist in a band, one of the biggest heartthrobs in the world, just said he liked me. Wut?
