Luke's POV

Arriving at home, I could see my brothers already waiting outside the house for us and Ashton was somewhat quick to get out of the car so I could go over to them. I rushed over to them and hugged them both at the same time.

"I missed the pair of you." I said and I felt them hug me tighter.

"We missed you too little bro." Jack spoke and I smiled.

Pulling back, I smiled at the pair of them and they smiled back. "So, you're ok?" Ben then asked me.

"Given what happened, pretty much expect for the obvious psychological damages and my eye." I commented, more in a joking way because I knew he was worried but I didn't want it to sound serious because for me it wasn't.

Bates hadn't managed to rape me or anything like that and so other injuries I had sustained seemed minor to me and I was grateful for that.

"So, he didn't...you know?" Ben asked, I presumed he meant rape me because he was reluctant to say it.

"If you mean rape then no, he didn't." I replied and both of my brothers let out heavy breaths before I felt Ashton's hand slip around my waist.

"Detective McCall said he'll be round tomorrow to check up on you but thinks that rest is the best thing for you right now." Ashton said and I nodded before turning to my brothers who just smiled at me.

"Are you staying?" I asked Ashton, not really wanting him to leave me right now.

"Of course." Ashton replied and I smiled, actually feeling happy. "Now come on, you need to get some sleep." He took my hand and led me into my house.

Even stepping into my home made me feel happy, being locked up with a psychopath for a week really makes you appreciate things like your home and family. It really makes you miss them too which was not fun.

Ashton took me upstairs and into my room, smiling I flopped down onto my bed and Ashton laughed at me.

"I missed my bed." I commented as Ashton sat down next to my legs.

"I missed you in the bed." Ashton said and I laughed at him.

"I've been back like 2 hours and you're already flirting with me."

Ashton laughed with me before lying down next to me. "No, but you know what I mean. I missed having you here."

"I missed having you too, you know?" I said, turned onto my side so I could face him.

"I know but I was so goddamn worried about you. I thought Bates like raped you or something and even your eye makes me worried looking at it even though you're safe now." Ashton reached to gentle touch my face.

"Ash, he didn't do anything. He tried but he didn't, I'm fine."

"Why do you have a black eye then?" Ashton asked, looking upset.

"I kicked him when he was trying to move me before you guys got there, he wasn't happy and so he punched me." Was all I said, not feeling or wanting to go into details about Bates.

"Did he try to rape you?" Ashton decided to go to a more serious topic.

"Yeah but he didn't."

"How come?" Ashton looked confused and I sighed.

"I started talking about you and him being a psycho and he got mad and stormed off."

Ashton leaned in and kissed my forehead, "I'm glad he didn't."

"Me too." I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.

Ashton pulled me to him, "God I love you." He commented and kissed the top of my head for like the millionth time in that past 2 hours.

"I love you too."

"Do you wanna sleep, baby?" Ashton asked.

Nodding my head, Ashton moved to pull the covers over us; neither of us seemed to care that we were both wearing jeans. I settled in close to Ashton, enjoying the feeling of him being so close and enjoying that I knew nothing was going to take that away from me again.

"Thank you for being here with me, Ash." I said as we settled down properly.

"Anything for you, love." He replied and I smiled before leaning in to kiss him. "Now get some rest." He said when I pulled away.

Lying my head back down, I immediately started to feel myself drift off because of the exhaustion and because I could feel Ashton gently running his hands through my hair which was a very soothing motion.

"Sleep well, baby. I love you." Ashton pressed his lips to my forehead for a final time before I drifted off to sleep.
