Ashton would like to say that on Monday Luke would've been nicer to him. Ashton would also like to say that Luke had stopped being the homophobic bitch he is. But, unfortunately, that is only what he'd like to say.

Even after the heartfelt moment they shared in class everything was back to normal when they entered school on Monday again. Within the first fifteen minutes he was there, Luke had terrorised him with muttered insults and tripped him going to his locker. The blonde boy had turned himself back into the homophobic boy they all knew and loved. It made Ashton sick.

Was everything they saw, everything they said, was it nothing to him?

Ashton sighed as Luke came up and barked another rude remark at him. His pack of wolves howling on cue.

"Whatcha gonna do, Ashton?" Snarled one of the wolves in a Underarmor hoodie and khaki pants.

Ashton began to panic. Luke, he could handle- or maybe he couldn't but he could pretend to- but other people were a different thing. They sent chills down his spine and began a bubbling pit of fear in his stomach. Anxiety flooding over him which made his heat rate increase. His hands grew sweaty and shook, taking small steps away from the wolf.

But he was gripped by a paw and pulled back harshly.

"I said: what are you going to do, little bitch." Growled the hound low in his ear.

Ashton shivered and swallowed a lump in his throat. Suddenly, the whole hall had grown silent, waiting anxiously to see the outcome of this situation. Ashton could feel the stares boring into his body, making him even more eager to leave.

This was now a after school special and he was the leading roll.

He tried to run away again but the boy had a tight grip on his collar so all he did was choke. The boy pulled back again for good measurement, letting Ashton know he was not leaving without an answer.

Ashton whimpered. Tears stung his eyes from being choked and from the immense fear he felt.

"Chad..." Someone spoke. Ashton's eyes fluttered to the voice.

There stood Luke with a worried expression.

Chad looked at him with a eyebrow raised. "Ain't this what you wanted, Luke? This isn't the first time we've done it."

Luke looked torn. Scared between choosing the right thing to do and keeping up his appearance.

Appearance is more important that morals, apparently.

"Okay. Quick, though. We don't want to be late." Luke said and backed away.

Chad nodded and tightened his grip on Ashton's collar.

"I'll give you one last chance to answer or else. Now, what are you going to do?" He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

A tear drop rolled down his cheek.

Ashton said nothing.

Then, a fist collided with the side of Ashton's head and it all went black.

Please don't hate me, I do not enjoy hitting Ashton.

But yeah, what's up guys? Have anything fun to tell me? Cause you can. Even if it's you ate a taco.

I did not eat a taco. In fact I have only had an icecream, part of a pop tart, and peaches today because I did not eat dinner since hamburgers are disgusting. Now I am regretting my reluctance to eat cow.

Anyways, hope you all are doing amazing. Keep on reading my amazing little darling dears. Stay Beautiful. XXX
