A Drop in the Ocean

You Wouldnt

Ashton's POV:

I rolled over in bed to feel the other side empty and cold. Luke's gone again. He's been gone every night this week, claiming he had something important to take care of but every time I ask where he's going, he just gets angry so I just don't ask anymore.

He used to sing to the baby and rub my belly and tell me how much he loved me, but he's been so distant lately. I'm always laying here alone because he always out late doing god knows what, I just really hope he's not doing what I think he's doing.

Luke's POV:

"I should go," I said, buttoning my skinny jeans and pulling my hoodie over my head.

"Or we could go again," Heather said while feeling up my thigh. I was mesmerized by her touch but quickly pushed the thought of my head.

"I really have to go, I don't want anyone to find out about... us"

"Us? So we're a thing now?"

"I-uh, no we can't, I have a boyfriend and a baby on the way. I shouldn't even be here" I stuttered out, slipping on my shoes and heading for the door.

"You know it would be a shame if your boyfriend found out about what you've been doing," I froze dead in my tracks and turned around to face her. She had her arms crossed over her bare chest and an evil smirk on her face.

"You wouldn't."

"You wanna try me?" I shook my head, not really knowing what to say. I couldn't have Ashton find out about this, it would break him, it would break me.

"What do I have to do to keep you from telling him?"

She walked over to me slowly, pushing her fingers through my hair. I wanted to pull away but I couldn't, I know what she wants. We hadn't actually done it yet, every time it almost happened, I would pull out.

I swallowed hard as she unzipped my pants and lead me back over to the bed.

I looked over and saw that Heather was asleep, I slowly unwrapped her arms from my waist and quickly slipped back into my cloths, making my way outside to my car. I checked my phone to see that it was 7:29, shit I really hope no ones awake.

-

I opened the front door of our flat slowly, careful not to make too much noise. I closed the door and set my keys on the table.

Calum's POV:

I heard a car pull up, I got up and looked out the window to see Luke getting out of his car. Shouldn't he be home already?

I tiptoed down the stairs and peaked around the corner, Luke closed the door and set down his keys. I stepped of the last step, "You're home late." He jumped and let out a quiet yelp.

"Where were you?"

"No-no where, I was just getting the newspaper," he stuttered out nervously.

I raised an eyebrow, "We don't get the newspaper" I stated, "and I saw you get out of your car." I slowly walked over to him, "So where were you?" I questioned again, this time a little more insistent. I knew where he was, I just wanted to hear him say it. I saw the conversations he was having with this Heather girl.

"I went to the store to-"

I cut him off, "Luke I know where you were and I know you've been cheating on Ashton. Don't try to lie to me because I saw those messages on your phone, I knew you'd do something like this at some point. You think your a little sneaky piece of shit but I know your secret and Ashton will too."

"Calum please, you can't tell Ashton," he pleaded.

"And why the hell not?!" I whisper/yelled.

"Because you know what it will do to him, it will break him. I made a mistake, I don't know what came over me but I promise it won't happen again. Ashton just can't know, he probably would never want to see me again, what about our daughter, she needs me, I'm her father and Ashton needs me too. I'm begging you Calum just please don't tell him, I'll tell him when the time is right."

I scoffed, "when the time is right? And when will that be, there isn't a right time to tell your boyfriend that you cheated on him with some slut while he was carrying your child. Ashton deserves so much more than you and so does that baby, your a shitty boyfriend and you'll be an even shittier father-"

"What are you guys doing?" We both looked up to see Ashton standing at the top of the stairs, cradling his bump.

"Ashton, what are you doing up?" Luke asked.

"I couldn't stay in bed any longer, the baby was kicking the shit outta me so I was just gonna go for a walk. But what are you guys doing up?" he asked again.

Luke and I shared a look, I could see him pleading with his eyes, I sighed in defeat, I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing it for Ashton.

"I was just asking Luke to go pick up some medicine from the store, I think I'm coming down with something," I faked a cough. Ashton stared at me for a second and then proceeded down the stairs.

"Oh okay, you should have told me you were feeling sick"

"I didn't want to worry you, your a week away from your due date" Luke interjected, "Yeah Ash you should really be taking it easy, I'll take you back to bed and I can sing to Lavana to calm her down, yeah?" He smiled and nodded, taking Luke's hand and the two of them went back upstairs. Luke turned back and mouthed a "Thank you", I just simply nodded and put a fake smile on my face. I had the chance to break them up, Ashton could have been mine but I helped that bastard yet again.
