Ashleys POV:
Ashton and Melissa unpack all their things in the guest room, Melissa will be staying with us for a month while Ashton goes away for a month for his work , him and my mum decided it would be best considering she is pregnant. I really like Melissa, but I had hoped my brother would be home for longer than a week.

All throughout the week I try not feel left out as Melissa and my Mum go crazy looking at baby clothes, baby toys, buggies and lots more things that I don’t think babies even need. When they have stopped their online shopping spree Ashton and Melissa spend hours arguing playfully about baby names. I am so sick of hearing their constant baby talk that I decide I just have to leave the house.

I on a hooded sweater to cover my face, I feel like I am sneaking out of my own house. I walk along my road trying to keep my head down and not make eye contact with anyone, thanks to our local newspaper plastering my face on its front page with the word ‘DEVASTATED’ below it, everyone knows who I am, I don't know if I dislike the pitying looks or the looks of outright disgust on peoples faces more. I am concentrating so hard on staring down at the ground that I bump straight into someone. I begin to stutter an apology when I glanced up and saw the bright blue eyes of Luke, he looked seriously concerned. “Um..hey Ashley I’ve been meaning to talk to you actually” he says. I stand there trying to come up with what to say back to this, my face has reached way beyond its normal heat levels and my heart is thumping so hard in my chest I’m surprised he can’t hear it.

“Listen, I don’t care what you said to me the other day, I know you didn’t meant it, even the way your’e looking at me right now, I just know. Ashley I’m gonna say something I have never told another girl before. I think I’m falling in love with you, you push me away time and time again but even now I know you can feel it too.” My heart is put back together and breaks again as I look at his sincere face, what I wouldn’t give to return his words, I vow to myself there and then that I will find the person who is threatening me and keeping me away from Luke.

I look at him and will him to understand. “Luke…” I begin gently but he says “Don’t, just don’t Ashley how many times do you think you can break my heart. I’ll answer that for you actually this is the last time, next time you decide to mess me around I won’t be there running back to you.” “Luke…” I try again. “Please just forget it, Calum can have you, you’re not worth the heartache.

With the a look full of hatred he swivels round but then turns back to me “I’d like that ring back.” My heart shatters as I slip the ring he gave me off my finger and drop it into his outstretched palm. The ring symbolises so much more than just a piece of jewellery it symbolises the end.
