Tattooed Hearts (Lashton)

Chapter 18

"Oh Lukey" I heard a voice sing with a hint of amusement. I grumbled something along the lines of 'Go away', turned around and went back to sleep. The person however, didn't agree on this and tucked the blanket off of me and sat on top of my stomach. A groan left my lips at the weight that suddenly sat on me. I wanted to open my eyes to see who it was but that wasn't necessary anymore when I felt my cheek burn from the hit I just received. 

I was relieved when Ryan and Adam weren't at home when I got back, but instead my mum was, for a change. She didn't stay long though, saying she had to get back to America to finish whatever business she was there for. Ryan and Adam didn't show up for an entire week though and Michael, Ashton and Calum stayed over a lot to make sure I was okay. We posted 2 more videos on YouTube, this time with Ashton. He joined our band the same day we became boyfriends, even though no one knew about that yet except for Mikey and Calum of course. 

I opened my eyes quickly and saw Adam sitting on top of me and Ryan staring at me with a smirk, standing next to my bed. 

"We're back, had a fun time at the hospital, you pathetic piece of shit?" Ryan said. Adam hit me again, this time much harder and it made my head turn to the side. I tried to reach for my phone to call someone, but Ryan beat me to it and threw it away. I heard it crash against the wall and I'm sure it broke. I looked at him with horror in my eyes, both from shock of him breaking m phone and fear for my brothers. 

Adam got off of me and pulled me out of bed. He sat be down on my knees and held my wrists behind me so I couldn't try to block out the hits I am about to get. I struggled, though, trying to get Adam to let go but it only made him hold my wrists tighter. I hissed when he grabbed my wrists where I made some deep cuts for my suicide attempt, they still weren't healed fully yet. Ryan gave me a smug look before he hit me. "Count them" He ordered. I nodded and started counting the many hits that were sure to come.

After my beating Ryan and Adam left my room and me in it. They went downstairs and I slowly crawled towards my phone, hoping it still worked. The screen was cracked badly and it took me ten minutes to turn it on. When my screen lit up I saw a little piece of glass inside of it and I knew it would stop working soon. I called Ashton's number, hoping he would pick up. 

"Yello, Ashton here-"  "Hey Ash-". "I can't answer my phone right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you asap" . I groaned, of course he wouldn't pick up, he's probably at work. "Hey Ash, I-I need you to come over. Ry-"  I started whispering a message for him when I heard a door slam. I don't know whether they left or just came back, but I hurried to leave a message in time. I went back to talk when I saw my phone was off again. I tried turning it on, but it wouldn't budge. It just died. Great. I left my phone where it was on the ground before and tried to crawl over to the bathroom, to see what Ryan had done to me.

I was almost there when I heard feet stomping up the stairs. There stood Adam, looking down at me with a creepy smile. "Trying to take care for your bruises? I don't think so" He said. When he went to pick me up I tried getting away from him. Unfortunately my injuries weren't allowing me to crawl away fast and Adam got to me and picked me up. I trashed around in his grip, trying to get free, but he wouldn't let go. Instead he just chuckled at my attempts of freeing myself. 

"Here, and don't you dare do anything stupid or you'll regret it" Adam said, letting me fall on the ground in my room. He locked the door and left to go, I guessed, downstairs again. I went back to bed and winced when I slowly laid down in it. I tried going back to bed and was hoping Ashton got my message and would come as soon as he could.

Ashton PoV

"So, how can I help you, Milady?" I asked this cute little girl standing in front of the desk, looking all nervous. "I would l-like to get a tattoo" She said. I chuckled and asked her what she wanted and where she wanted it to be. "I want the sentence 'Darling you'll be okay' written on my wrist with a little butterfly next to it" She said with a little more confidence. I nodded and drew her a design. She agreed to it and I got to work.

She rolled up her left sleeve and pointed to where she wanted the tattoo. I nodded and got to work, but not before seeing all the white lines. They weren't very visable, but I have them too. I told her to stay strong and that I was proud of her that she stopped, couldn't say that about myself.

While I was busy finishing up the first two words, I heard my phone go off in the employee room. I ignored it and continued tattooing the girl. But I had a bad feeling settling in m stomach.

I finshed the tattoo, wrapping it up and explaining what to do ten minutes later. "I'm taking my break!" I yelled to my collegue, Kevin, who was working the cash register. He nodded and so I walked to the employee room, immediatley trying to find my phone. I saw I had a missed call from Luke and a voice mail. I clicked on it and listened. 

"Hey Ash, I-I need you to come over. Ry-".

The line went dead half way through his sentence and he sounded so scared. I got on my feet, grabbed my jacket which had my car keys in them and walked out the door, saying I had an emergencie I had to get to. I got in the car and drove off.

I walked up to Luke's door and rang the bell. I waited for a few minutes before the door opened and there stood the reasons for all my hatred to wards society.

"Luke isn't home" Adam said with a straight face. "But he-" I tried to say before Ryan slammed the door in my face. They weren't going to get rid of me that easily. I remember when I was in Luke's room a few days ago that there was a tree next to his window. I went looking for it and when I found it I climbed all the way to Luke's room, which is a lot higher than you would initanally think.

When I finally did get to his room I knocked on the window while trying to balance myself at the branch. I didn't get a response and when I looked through the window, I almost fell. The boy laying there in bed isn't my Luke. It's a little, fragile boy sleeping, hopefully, in his bed, bruises covering his face, some cuts on his wrist and tear tracks on his cheeks. I climbed down again and rang the bell again. This time it was Adam opening the door, Ryan no where to be seen. 

"YOU FÚCKING ÀSSHOLE!" I screamed in his face just before I jumped him.

Hiii there! Did you enjoy this update? I certainly enjoyed writing it. Except for the beating and Luke being helpless. Never mind, I didn't enjoy writing this. BUT it had to happen at some point. I don't know why I make people beat up Lukey Pukey though... :( Okay. I'm rambling, I'm sorry

QotC: This might seem selfish or whatever but I really want to know this, why do only like 2 or 3 people comment on this? Is the story not what you expected or not good or why don't you comment? It makes me feel like I failed writing this story while this is the best I have written so far....

Thoughts on Ryan & Adam reappearing? Luke's mum leaving? Luke calling Ashton?

Thoughts on Ashton ignoring his phone, while having a bad feeling? Climbing the tree to see Luke? Jumping Adam?

I hope you like this, I am really trying to make this story not like 100 chapters but I feel like I can't make it a 40 chapter story, if you know what I mean? Do you guys think it's going to fast or slow?

Oh, and here is the link to the tattoo that the little girl got: file:///C:/Users/Simone/Documents/Simone%20School/photos/stories/Tattoo%20little%20girl.svg
