nine.

i don't really know what to say to that, so i just ask; "why?"

he laughs quietly,"i know you, luke," he sighs, "you were my luke once, and i know you wouldn't do that."

his luke.

it hits me very suddenly how much i miss being called his luke. i'm his. i'll always be his.

"um- i-" i stutter, but can't seem to get the words out so i just say, "thank you ashton."

"don't thank me," he says, sighing softly, "just, explain to me what exactly happened."

"i-its really blurry," i stutter, "but i can tell you what i remember."

the fact that ashton is finally giving me a chance to explain what happened months ago, makes me beyond happy and makes the anger i felt earlier fade away.

"i went over to calums because he wanted me over," i say, "like, he called me over. we were friends, so i went. he kept asking- well, forcing, really- me to drink." i pause, trying to remember exactly what happened, "oh, the last thing i remember is waking up in a bed- well, naked- next to calum."

it's quiet for a couple seconds.

"he got you drunk and slept with you," ashton says, i believe trying to go over everything i just said in his mind, "but why? did he want you that bad?" he asks.

i shrug, "i dunno, but that's what happened."

"hey, luke, i'll call you back in a little bit." ashton says, and i feel that sadness in my heart come back.

"wait," i say, a bit too fast, "don't- don't go." i stutter, shyly. this is the longest coversation we've had in months.

"luke," he laughs, "i'm gonna call back."

"promise?" i smile.

"i promise." he says, and i can practically hear the smile in his voice.

"i love-"

"don't." he says,"don't push it."
