So at the moment everyone is equally shipping Bashton and Buke. I have no clue what to do (⌇ຶД⌇ຶ)!

I'm sorry about this chapter though! But please enjoy and if there's something would like to say to me or about my book, you are more than welcome to ask :) I'm an open person!

(No one's POV)

Brooke sighed contently as she sat down on the sofa, her McDonalds in hand, and a smile on her face. A week had passed by and Ashton had gone out to deal with some business and as much as she hated to admit it, she missed him like crazy. She had decided to throw on one of Ashton's shirts and a pair of pyjama shorts as she felt somewhat comfortable around these boys. Wether she liked it or not she was becoming closer an closer to these boys, along with the rest of the gang, no matter how much she disliked it.

There were always men roaming around the house, most she didn't know and she was shocked at the amount of rooms she had missed in this large building. It may look broken down but it sure as hell held a lot of secrets in the walls. Brooke sat silently with a warm smile plastered on her lips, her eyes watching over at the four dorks in the floor. She had become not only best friends with Calum and Michael but also Johnny or Skipper as everyone called him, no one knew why. Skipper was a purple headed boy with a n eyebrow and lip piercing, bright blue eyes and a love for danger.

Though she enjoyed Skipper's company, she was a lot closer to Danny, a black shaggy headed boy with adorable- heart melting brown puppy eyes and a bit of a book worm. She had no idea why she got along with Danny so well but she did, he knew everything, even the part about her sleeping with Luke, which he promised to say nothing about obviously.

"You asshole!" Skipper suddenly yelled, breaking Brooke from her thoughts. Her smiled returned once again as she watched Calum, Michael, Skipper and Danny all play furiously on the Xbox. She didn't understand why the game got them so wound up over one another but then again who understood Mario Kart fury?

Her eyes trailed over to the other sofa, her smile detaching itself from her face completely and replacing with a awkward look. There Luke sat, all alone with a blank look upon his face and a bottle of beer supported a little too tightly in his hand, his eyes watching the boys intensely before trailing over to her. Brooke's eyes cascaded down straight away and immediately she got up, feeling suffocated with awkwardness and the amount of tension building between the two.

Brooke quickly made her way into the kitchen, pushing the door open and letting it close behind her. She heard a loud noise come from the living room, immediately knowing that Luke would follow her into the kitchen. She gulped and moved over to the fridge, opening it and looking for something to drink. She heard the slight sound of the creaky door before it closed, the creaking following again. Brooke grabbed out a bottle of water and stood up, turning around to walk away but only to be met by a warm hard chest.

"Luke." She gasped, slightly startled by his closeness but he said nothing, only cupped her face. Brooke scurried away from his touch and moved to the other side of the kitchen, next to the sink.

"Why do you keep avoiding me Brooke?" Luke demanded angrily, annoyed the girl he had sex with not only two days ago was ignoring him at all costs, all of a sudden.

"Because." She stated simply, trying to walk away and hoping to get away from this awkward situation but Luke had other plans. He growled annoyed and pushed her lightly against the counter in the corner of the kitchen, his arms trapping her from moving away.

Brooke's eyes trail down to the floor afraid, "That's not an answer. Why are you avoiding me?" Luke demanded once again, his voice hushed so others wouldn't hear it.

She sighed, "We can't keep doing this.", Her voice came out mumbled and sad. She had no clue what to say to him other than her response, Luke didn't know what to say either. He was truly heart broken.

"Do you think these past three days that I haven't though the same! Like when we almost got caught kissing four days ago by none only then Ashton himself, my best friend and boss but do you see me worrying? No! So why should you?" Luke was annoyed, pissed off, upset and destroyed at the fact that he believed she wouldn't leave him but here she was, stopping them from continuing whatever this was.

"I'm sorry." She whispered croakily, her voice cracking hurtfully at the thought of hurting him. Luke sighed at Brooke's apology and pulled her body into his, their arms wrapping around each other's bodies tightly like blankets of protection.

"No need to apologise, I'm the one who's sorry. I should respect your decisions." Luke nodded his head more to himself that anyone and kissed Brooke's shoulder, hurt evident between them.

"It's too dangerous to continue on Luke, I do like you but I like Ashton more and I don't want to hurt him." Brooke sobbed shamelessly into Luke's shoulder, gripping him even tighter to her.

"I think I love him." Her feelings were all over the place, she didn't know what to do or say but as Luke held her there in his arms, protecting her tightly and kissing her head, she realised that no matter how badly Ashton treated her sometimes or how kind Luke was, she would always end up choosing Ashton over Luke. After all, Luke was only merely a distraction of the pain Ashton inflicted her to feel, but now that Ashton treated her alright most of the time, she felt like he owed him this much to be a good 'girlfriend' and stay completely faithful to what he wants.

"It's okay Brooke, Its okay." Luke whispered painfully, everything hurting him because the girl he liked was so heartbroken and conflicted to what to feel. He knew he couldn't do this to her anymore, she clearly liked someone else and it's what her heart wanted. So he would be there for her, no matter what she wanted and would be a supportive friend to her either way.

No matter what, you can't force yourself to unlike or like someone, if it's meant to be, it will happen naturally and if it isn't, then that's just the way it is. Us as humans wedge ourselves in between difficult situations everyday, even over the smallest of things like what's topping you want on a cake or what meat you want in your sandwich or what colour pen your going to write in. But then you get the bigger problems, who to like and who not to like, who to spend the day with or what flowers to choose for your wedding day in your bouquet and it's so easy for us to loose ourselves in that big decision, and we may not see it coming.

And that's exactly why was happening to Brooke, she was loosing a huge part of herself to form room for something feelings she had never felt before; love.

"But you don't know that Luke, you don't know that." They then just stood there, Luke opposite her and Brooke opposite him with her head low and silent tears falling down her face.

Luke walked up to her and kissed her head, "I'll always be a friend and here for you when you need me to." Then he gave her a weak smile and walked out of the kitchen, a new bottle of beer in hand and sat down on the sofa, now watching a film with the somewhat calm boys.

She finally did it, she ended the sweet confusion torment between her and Luke, but how she had bigger things to worry about, Ashton.
