Intoxicated - A Lashton (5sos) Fan Fiction

Chapter 13 - You Take The Pain Away

Luke was just tired, both emotionally and physically. He was also mad. Why had his friends decided to admit him to the hospital? He didn't do anything out if the ordinary. Self harm was part of his daily cycle.

But then again, when your friends have no idea and they see you, a bleeding mess, in the bathroom it might come as a shock.

As soon as Luke got home, he rushed to his room. It was 3 am, and Luke was tired. The boys decided to stay and talk for a little while. They would of called Luke down, but they knew he was tired and didn't want to talk. This was too much stress for a 17 year old, and they understood that.

"I can't believe we had to take Luke to the hospital."

"Yeah... I was so worried... I'm done with him."

"What do you mean, Calum?"

"I- I think it's time I come clean to you guys." Calum lowered his head. His friends wouldn't judge him for his past, right?

"Okay, go ahead." Michael urged, leaning forward.

"For the last few months, I've been feeling different towards Luke."

That made Ashton's stomach drop. Calum couldn't like Luke. He just couldn't.

Jealousy came over Ashton, and he couldn't quite explain why. At least, he didn't exactly want to explain why.

"You can't kick him out, dumbass." Michael rolled his eyes. "He's kind of our singer."

"Just shut up, Michael. Let me continue."

"Fine, fine."

"I started feeling different towards Luke.. Whenever he would hug me, I felt butterflies. But then- he started spiraling out of control. We used to talk every night, about-" Calum paused.

"About what?" Michael questioned eagerly.

"About, stuff." What a save Calum, he thought sarcastically. "Anyways, he started complaining. I got so sick and tired of listening to his complaints, and I didn't feel that special spark anymore. My feelings just started to go away. I was once dreaming about us being together, but now when I catch myself thinking about it, I feel repulsed. Someone like him, could never be with someone like me. It just wouldn't work."

That last statement, made Ashton extremely mad. Was Calum saying that he was too good for Luke, or the other way around? Ashton decided he probably implied the first one, considering Calum has been being a dick lately.

Ashton felt a little relieved, aswell. It became apparent, that maybe he wasn't the whole reason they had found Luke in the bathroom. Maybe it was due to friend problems, aswell.. But Ashton couldn't be too sure.

"Man, what a shame. I wanted Cake to be real!" Michael sulked. But Ashton didn't agree.

"Nah, man. It was just a phase. I'd never actually like a boy, let alone Luke. He's a good friend, but I bet he'd be a pain in the ass to be in a relationship with."

"Yeah, I'd imagine." Michael agreed. "He hides so much.. He'd get away with cheating so easily."

"I'm going to bed." Ashton fumed, gritting his teeth. He wasn't sure how much more of this he could take. The amount of disrespect these boys had for Luke, was unreal. Wether they realized it or not, Luke had feelings, too. He was only 17, how was he supposed to handle this?

"Why so pissy, Ashton?"

But Ashton knew that if he answered, he would completely lash out on both of them.

He needed to get to his bed and sleep, considering it was nearly 4 am. But first, he needed to make one stop.
