Luke's back yay!
L U K E
So fat the first two weeks of holidays had been boring. I’d only hung out with Calum seeing as Michael had gone away with his parents last week, Blake was busy and Ashton was always with Daisy. Ashlynn hadn’t been answering her phone so I assumed she’d had it taken from her. I decided to show up at Blake’s and Daisy’s to see if Blake wanted to hang out.
When I got to the door I only had to knock three times before Blake answered, “Luke, hey,” he said, nerves filling his voice.
“Hey man. I just came by to see if you wanted to hang out,” I explained.
“Sounds good dude but just…not here,” he said.
“Why not? I mean we’re already here,” I told him, confused with the situation.
“Look, I can’t tell you what’s going on right now but I promise one day I will explain. Let my just grab my shoes then we can go,” he said then shut the door.
I stared at the door for a second then walked back to my car. It kind of annoyed me that Ashton’s car was parked out the front and he was obviously inside. When I saw Blake I unlocked the car and got in.
“So…where we gonna hang?” he asked.
“My place I guess,” I shrugged then started the car.
“What’s up?” he asked.
“Please explain to me why I can’t know but Ashton’s car’s parked right there,” I told him.
He sighed, “look Luke, I wish I could. I want to tell you so bad but I can’t…my parents would slaughter me. The only reason Ashton’s knows is because he’s involved. Luke I’m sorry,” he said apologetically.
“Does Ashlynn know?” I asked.
“No. She’s been really hurt by this and I feel like shit but there’s nothing I can do”
“Have you spoken to her lately?” I asked hopefully, I just wanted to know if she was ok.
“Not since she blew up at Ashton. I’m worried about her”
“Wanna see if she’s home?”
“Please,” he said making me smile slightly.
It took us a bit to get to Ashlynn’s but when we go there some guy answered the door, “hello,” he smiled.
“Uh hi. We’re looking for Ashlynn,” I told him.
“You’re lucky. She just got home,” he said then turned. “Lynn there’s two guys at the door for you!” he called.
We could hear her footsteps as she came down the stairs, “oh,” was all she said when she saw us. “Hey guys”
“You don’t seem happy to see us,” Blake pointed out.
“No I am it’s just…it’s been like two weeks”
“That’s why we came over. We wanted to see if you were ok and if you wanted to hang,” I explained.
“Sorry I’ve had my phone off,” I said, holding the door frame with one hand and scratching the back of her neck with the other.
“For two weeks?” Blake asked skeptically.
“Yeah actually. I just haven’t really felt like talking to anyone,” she said, not meeting out eyes.
“Alright well…do you want to come and hang out with us?” I offered.
“I would guys but I just got home and I’m super tired so I’m not really up for it right now,” she moved her hair out of the way to scratch her neck and when she did I saw a deep purple bruise.
“Who gave you that then?” I asked and gestured to the bruise.
“Dan,” she answered.
“I thought you didn’t want to see anyone”
She rolled her eyes, “I meant anyone from this town. Sorry guys but I’m tired so I’m gonna go and take a nap. have fun or whatever,” she said then closed the door.
“Dude she’s seriously pissed off,” Dan told me as we walked back to my car.
“I wouldn’t blame her,” I said, hinting I was as well.
“I already told you I can’t”
“Dude it can’t be that big of a deal. It’s not like someone’s dying”
“Pretty much the opposite,” Blake mumbled so quietly I almost didn’t catch it.
“Wait…you said Daisy was sick right?”
“Yeah?” he said, confused.
Mood swings, nausea, Ashton’s involved. I widened my eyes and looked at Blake.
“What?” he asked.
“No way,” I said in disbelief.
“What?” Blake asked again but louder and more urgent.
“Daisy’s pregnant?” I asked and his eyes widened.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck! Please don’t tell anyone! If anyone else finds out then I’m going to be killed!” he said in panic.
“Why is this such a big secrete?” I asked as we got into my car.
“Because mum and dad are like…beyond pissed off. They’re keeping her cooped up inside until it’s born then she and Ash have to give it away. Luke just please promise me you won’t tell anyone. Not your mum, not Calum or Mike and definitely not Ashlynn,” he begged.
“I promise,” I said after a moment.
“Thank you,” he said, breathing a sigh of relief.
“Ashlynn should get to know,” I said after a while.
“Dude we’ve been over this. Mum and dad don’t want anyone to know”
“Can you not see how much it is killing her? Dude, she looks like she’s ready to snap”
“She already did. She yelled at Daisy at a Chinese shop one night when we went to get dinner,” he said, looking at his hands which were resting in his lap.
“That’s justifiable”
“Luke…”
“What? You’re all pretty much lying to her. She’s been Daisy’s best friend for over a year. Daisy is all Ashlynn has”
“She has Dan”
“He’s different”
“How?”
“Because they probably won’t last. Relationships come and go but friends are forever”
“You did not just say that,” he chuckled.
“Yeah I’m kind of regretting it now,” I said then we both burst out laughing. “But in all seriousness she’s needs to know”
“She will know. Just after it’s over”
“Dude this is unfair. I need to tell someone”
“Tell your dog”
“She doesn’t want to listen to my problems”
“You make her every other time”
“No…that’s my mum”
“Dude…I’ve seen you talk to your dog”
I groaned, “fine”
