Unpredictable (c.h.)

Chapter Five

I woke up to see my "child" laying in my bed with me. I didn't even know who put it there until I woke up and saw my mom sitting on the couch with Mrs. Hood. She was crying and as soon as I came in she stopped.

"Mom what's wrong!!?" I rushed to the couch.

"Wait until your brother wakes up, I want to tell you at the same time"

"Ashton!" I yelled, not even caring how much of a hangover he or anyone else had.

"Oh my god do people know how to whisper in this house" a very tired and hungover Luke said as he came down the stairs, rubbing his temples. "Oh shit what's wrong Ms. Irwin" he rushed as soon as he saw her tears. "I'm sorry I was rude, my head just hurts a bit."

"Luke, honey can you go wake everyone else please." My mom asked nicely.

"Sure whatever you need" he hesitantly said, walking up stairs to go wake them up.

Soon enough, Michael, Calum, Ashton, Luke, and Lexi met us downstairs. Only Ashton, Luke, and Calum were hungover but none of them were rude because I think Luke explained the situation upstairs when he woke them.

"Hi mom, what are you doing here, are you okay?" Ashton asked worriedly, taking a seat next to her and I on the couch.

"Yes, I'm, I'm p-pregnant." She said.

"WHAT" me and Ashton said simultaneously, we haven't done that in years, we used to do it all the time when we were young though, it wasn't on purpose, we just said things at the same time, it was actually really weird.

"Oh my god guys that's creepy" Michael said in response to me and Ashton's speaking.

"Wait mom how are you pregnant, dad left?" I asked.

"It's not his, it's Reese's." Mom said as a new batch of tears started to flow.

"Oh my god" Luke said, running outside.

Reese is Luke's dad, and Luke's mom died last year of leukemia.

In the midst of all the confusion, I ran outside, attempting to find Luke. I finally found him, up in the treehouse of the Hood's backyard.

"Hey Luke" I offered softly.

"Please leave me alone" he said through the tears he was attempting to hide.

"No" I said sitting next to him, "it's a free country, I can do as I wish"

"Whatever" he said as I sat down. "What do you want?"

"I want you to talk to me" I said.

"And tell you what, that I'm mad that it's only been a year and my dad already knocked up some random whore." He snapped.

"Um excuse me but my mom is not some random whore you asshole." I said getting up and leaving.

"Well she fucked a widow so yes she is, that's probably where you got it from." He said as I left.

I immediately burst into tears after that, first he calls my mom, who is pregnant with a sibling of his might I add, a whore, but he called me one.

When I got inside everybody was just sitting on the couch, clearly they were done with the commotion, and they were all confused on why I was crying. Ashton just came over and wrapped me in a hug, which confused me because he was Ashton but I didn't deny it, it was sweet.

"What's wrong" he asked, pulling away.

"L-Luke called mom and me a w-whore." I sobbed.

"Shh shh it's okay, Luke is stupid" he said to me. I was really confused now and I wasn't actually sure that this was Ashton, he not only hugged me but he was comforting me, what the fuck happened to him.

Ashton's POV

I think everyone was confused on why I was being nice to Naomi, even she was probably confused, hell I was confused with myself, why wasn't I blocking people out like usual. Whatever. All I know now is that Luke called my mom and my sister a whore, I don't care how bitter I am towards them, nobody called them that.

After I comforted Naomi, I dragged her to the couch, and I went to have a chat with Luke.

"What the hell man!" I yelled as I saw him leaving the treehouse.

"Don't act like it's not true" he spat.

That was the final straw.

The next thing heard was the sound of Luke falling to the ground from me punching him. Immediately once he fell I kicked him and walked off.

"Don't fuck with my family" I said as I walked back into the house.

I honestly don't know what's gotten into me. Just yesterday I probably would've just told Luke not to do it again, and I definitely wouldn't have comforted Naomi. I guess the news about the baby has made me realize that family is a priority, and I shouldn't be bad to mom and Nai just because of what my asshole father did years ago.

When I got back in the house, Lexi was with Naomi in her room, probably tending to the fake child, Calum was with Mike in Calum's room, mom and Calum's mom were on the sofa talking, and Calum's dad was in the kitchen.

"Hey, can you take Luke home please, he's lying in your yard" I said to Mr. Hood as I walked into the kitchen.

Without questioning me he just nodded as I bid a thanks his way, he probably knows what happened.
