Luke throws his faith away to get his revenge on Ashton.

------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Ashton walked through the front doors of his high school, he knew something was wrong.

Everyone was staring at him. Some whispered into their friends's ear as he passed them. Others just watched him, smirking.

He frowned but ignored them and went to his locker.

As he was spinning the dial, a senior named James approached him.

"Hey, Ashton." He smiled.

Ashton looked up at him. "What?"

"How much do you charge a night?" The senior snickered.

"What do you mean?" Ashton asked, confused.

"Don't act like a virgin." He sneered. "I saw the webpage. We all did. You're such a slut."

"Excuse me?" Ashton glared. "What are you talking about?"

"Whatever man." James shook his head. "Just keep it in your pants okay? You're ruining us seniors's good name."

He walked off and Ashton stared after him in anger and confusion and also worry. What was going on?

He grabbed his supplies and went to his first class.

As expected, everyone looked up at him when he entered.

"Don't you socially awkward losers have any thing else to do to than to stare at me?" He snapped.

They tittered but looked away.

He took a seat in the back but he could feel some stares still on him.

A little scared now, he took out his phone.

He sent a quick text off to Calum.

Whats going on?!

Calum replied a moment later.

What do u mean?

Ashton rolled his eyes. Of course Calum wasn't up to date with current events.

This guy called me a slut and everyone keeps staring at me. And something about a webpage..?

Calum sent back a quick reply.

I'll check it out. Btw, have u spoken to luke since the incident at the auditorium? 

No, y would I?

Well he hasn't answered me or mikey (I gave mikey Luke's #)

Sorry to hear that /:

Yeah...well I'll update u if I find out anything

Thanks ♡

Ashton sighed and leaned against the wall. "I really need to get paid to go to high school."

-

Ashton was in the cafeteria at lunch when he felt a hand grab his ass.

Angrily, he spun around, ready to bitch slap.

But it was a girl smirking up at him and he stopped his hand from smacking her across the face.

"What the hell Kelsey?" He growled.

Kelsey was the schools whore. She had fucked about 74% of the schools population, teachers and staff included.

She glared up at him. "I heard you were trying to take my place."

Ashton groaned and rubbed his temples. "What are you bitching about now?"

"Your website. You stated you were going to fuck the entire school." She got up in his face. "I knew you were a jerk, but I never knew you were a slutty attention whore as well."

She flipped her hair over her shoulder. "The world doesn't need any more you's. Do us all a favor and just kill yourself."

She turned and stalked away.

Okay, that hurt.

Ashton had been called worse, but never to kill himself.

Self consciously, he hiked up his sleeves, tracing his old self harm scars absentmindedly.

He blinked back sudden tears at the painful memories and ran out of the room.

Someone grabbed his arm and slammed him up against the nearest wall.

Ashton saw stars until his vision cleared and he blinked up at Derek, the captain of the football (American Football) team.

"Hey!" Ashton snapped. "Let go-"

"You think it's funny to joke about rape?" Derek shouted, pushing Ashton harder against the wall.

"What?!" Ashton cried. "When have I ever-"

"Your slutty webpage." Derek growled. "My sister was raped when she was just twelve, and you think rape is a fucking joke?"

"No! I don't know what you are-"

"Oh shut up." Derek snarled as he team came up behind him. "If it's okay for you to joke about rape then it's okay for me to beat you up. I mean, it's all for fun right?"

"Where's the logic in that?!" Ashton cried out.

Derek swung his fist, catching Ashton in the stomach.

Ashton doubled over and another boy slammed his fist between Ashton's shoulders blades, making Ashton fall to the ground. The team wasted no time in swarming around him and kicking him.

Ashton curled into a ball and cried, not even bothering to try and defend himself.

No one believed that he had no idea what was going on anyways.

Ashton heard people shouting and he looked up to see a crowd had formed around them.

His tearful hazel eyes made eye contact with a familiar pair of ocean blue ones.

Luke.

Luke was sipping a water bottle, but he lowered it when Ashton looked at him.

Then, to Ashton's shock, Luke sneered and stuck up his middle finger.

You deserve this.

That's what that finger meant.

Fuck you Ashton. You deserve this, you player.

Ashton cried out in pain and anguish when a well placed kick caught him in the ribs.

"All right, break it up!" A teacher shouted, barging in. "Get back to lunch, all of you."

The crowd dispersed and the football team reluctantly left, throwing final glares over the shoulders.

The teacher looked down at Ashton and shook her head before walking away.

Ashton struggled to sit up and he shuffled over a few feet to hide behind the vending machines.

Tears spilled over his cheeks and he silently cried into his hands.

His phone buzzed in his pocket and he shakily pulled it out to answer it.

It was a text from Calum.

Dude....I just found the website everyone is talking about.

Ashton was too tired and sore to type back a reply, but Calum sent him another message. A link this time.

Ashton slowly clicked on it and the link transported him to a webpage that made his blood run cold.

The heading was, ASHTON IRWIN- SCHOOL WHORE.

He gasped and continued down.

His cheeks and shirt were stained with tears by the time he finished.

Who would do this?!

He wasn't this type of person!

He texted Calum.

Who made this webpage?!

One thing was for certain, he couldn't take it anymore and he jumped up, running out of the building.

He arrived at his house a couple minutes later.

He immediately collapsed as sobbing mess onto his bed. His phone buzzed again with a final text from Calum.

Luke

-

(Previously)

"He's a slut, that's what he is." Luke muttered fiercely to himself as he paced in his room. "How dare he make me question my sexuality, lose my faith, make me fall for him, take my virginity, and then just leave me?"

His hands reached back up to his hair, where he pulled and tugged on the blonde strands. "He's going to pay, oh, he's so going to pay."

He sighed and collapsed on his bed. "But how?"

His gaze fell on his laptop.

A plan formed in his head and he smiled.

-

Luke came into class with a smug look on his face.

He felt headstrong and on top of the world right now.

He totally just got even with Ashton!

He sat down and pulled out his phone. Calum had texted him, yet again.

He rolled his eyes but decided he could answer his former friend.

Stop texting me

What the hell luke?!?! What is wrong with u?? Y did u make that bogus webpage about Ashton?!

He deserved it. Ur just lucky I didnt put u on there too

What the actual fuck luke??? Im going to report u!

Mhm, sure u will.

I will. But if u go talk to Ashton, I won't.

Y would I want to talk to him?

He hasn't been at school since lunch. I think he went home

So?

So??? Im concerned for him! Dont u know he used to be suicidal?!

...no

Go talk to him -.-

Fine! God! I'll do it after school. Just quit texting me!

He put his phone away and looked out the window, conflicted.

-

After school, Luke took his time walking to Ashton's house.

He still remembered the way from when he spent the night there.

Flashes of Ashton on top of him, saying I love you, moaning Luke's name, filled Luke's head and he quickly shook it to clear it.

No! He was pissed at Ashton and didn't love him!

Ashton betrayed him!

Luke glared and almost stopped walking but forced himself to continue.

He had to tell Calum that Ashton was fine so Calum would never text him again.

He reached Ashton's door and knocked.

To his surprise, the door creaked open. It hadn't been shut completely.

Curious and a little concerned, Luke peered inside. "Ashton? You home?"

Silence.

Luke shrugged and stepped back. "Oh well, I've done all I can do."

His phone buzzed and he checked the new message. He groaned when it was from Calum.

Is he okay? Did u check on him? Tell him to call me!

He sighed and leaned forward, looking around the house.

It was dark.

He took a timid step inside. "Ashton?"

He shut the door behind him and looked all around, but Ashton was nowhere to be seen.

"Ashton? Are you here?" Luke called again.

He started walking up stairs. "Ashton? You left your front door open."

He stopped outside Ashton's room. The door was shut and locked.

Now Luke was a little panicky.

Calum had better be lying about Ashton being suicidal.

He knocked on the door. "Ashton? Ashton please...if you're in there, open the door." He knocked again.

BANG!

Luke flinched and stumbled back as a gun shot pierced the air.

"Ashton!" Luke cried and ran back up to the door, pounding on it. "Ashton! Please, oh my God!"

The door suddenly opened and Ashton stood there, looking pissed as hell.

He was holding a gun to his temple.

"What?" He snapped. "I'm busy at the moment."

Luke's knees nearly gave out at the sight of the gun. "Where...where did you get...never mind." He pleaded up to Ashton. "Can we talk? Please?"

Ashton glared. "Why would I want to talk to you?"

"Okay, I know you hate me. The feelings mutual. But you can't kill yourself over this!"

"Oh yeah? Why can't I?" Ashton's hand tightened on the gun.

Luke licked his dry lips. He was not handling this well.

"Because! It was just one little webpage!" Luke pleaded. "I'll take it down!"

"Too fucking late!" Ashton shouted. "The whole fucking school saw it!"

"Not the whole school." Luke said timidly.

Ashton glared and clicked the gun.

"Okay okay I'm sorry! I didn't mean to take it as far as I did! I was just angry! You ruined my life!" Luke defended himself.

"Well congrats, you just ruined mine." Ashton rolled his eyes. "Guess we're even and everything can go back to normal."

Luke sighed. "Don't be like that."

"Oh okay." Ashton jammed the barrel of the gun under his chin, tilting his head back slightly. "I just wont be like anything then."

"No!" Luke cried. "I'll go to jail if you kill yourself! Cyber bullying and stuff!"

Ashton rolled his eyes. "You're gunna have to come up with a better reason than that."

Luke sighed and sat down.

Ashton lowered the gun slightly in confusion.

"I'm sorry." Luke whispered. "I really truly am. But I know you will still pull that trigger as soon as I finish speaking 'cause you won't ever forgive me. And honestly, I can't ever forgive you either. We ruined each others lives...how can we get past that?"

"We can't." Ashton glared through his tears, cutting Luke off.

Luke looked up, his eyes shimmering.

"Exactly."

"So...now what?" Ashton asked.

Luke sighed heavily. "I guess this is goodbye."

"Oh." Ashton stood up straight as Luke got up.

"Can I just say one last thing?" Luke asked, looking at the ground.

Ashton reluctantly nodded. "Make it fast."

"Okay..." He looked up and cocked his head. "Did you really mean what you said that day in the auditorium? About never actually loving me?"

Ashton readjusted his hand on the gun and he looked away.

"Or were you just playing a role in Calums plan?" Luke took a step forward.

Ashton swallowed and his hand trembled.

"Because, sometimes, if you wish really hard for something, it can come true." Luke stepped closer and Ashton backed up.

"Do you wish that I loved you?" Ashton tried to regain his authority but it withered under Luke's gaze.

"No." Luke said simply. He had backed Ashton all the way to the foot of Ashtons bed. Ashton was pressed against it, almost laying down on it as Luke kept coming closer.

"I wish you would admit it to yourself that you actually do love me."

That was it.

Ashton dropped the gun and brought his hands to Luke's cheeks. He slammed his lips against Luke's and kissed him fiercely.

Luke moaned and tangled his hands in Ashton's hair.

Ashton's tears landed on Luke's cheeks and Luke pulled back to rest his forehead on Ashton's.

"Ash?" He asked, brushing back a stray curl behind Ashton's ear.

Ashton sniffed and looked up.

"Date me?"

Ashton burst out crying and nodded, wrapping his arms around Luke's neck and burying his face in the taller boys shoulder.

Luke smiled contentedly and hugged the older boy. "I really am sorry."

"I know." Ashton whispered. "I am too."

"Forgive and forget?"

"Consider it already forgotten." Ashton smiled and pulled back.

Luke bent down and picked up the gun. "Where should we put this?"

"Throw it away." Ashton turned and shivered.

"Alright. I'll throw it away in a random trash can on the way back to my house. I'll take down the webpage and then I'll be right back. Okay?"

Ashton nodded. "Okay."

"Alright." Luke kissed the top of Ashton's head. "I love you."

Ashton smiled and caressed Luke's cheek.

"I love you more."

He watched Luke leave with fondness in his eyes.

He couldn't believe this had all started with a dare, but he was so glad he had accepted it.
