|If You Love Me|✔️

Chapter 21

Luke
I didn't like this. Sure I had the boys, that made it more bearable but I didn't want to leave my family. I'd never been away from them before.

Leaving them was probably the hardest thing I'd ever have to do in my entire life.

"You'll see them again." Is what the boys kept telling me but, I didn't want to leave them in the first place.

So as we pulled up to a huge house after a long plane ride, and an even longer car ride, I really didn't have the energy to marvel over the huge mansion like house. Any other day, I would immediately start running around the huge acres of land, but the first thing I did was run to the nearest bedroom, claiming it as my own and just laying down in the bed, chucking my suitcases on the floor.

I curled into a ball and just let myself miss my family, let myself cry over how pathetic my life had become.

It wasn't even 5 minutes later when all three of the boys came to find me. They didn't even say anything, just all climbed in the bed and cuddled up with me. I appreciated that, because I didn't need them to tell me everything was okay, I just needed them.

"I saw a pool table in the basement." Calum said randomly and than Michael gasped.

"I saw an actual pool, with a hot tub and everything." Michael tried to upstage Calum and I couldn't help but smile at them.

Ashton rubbed my cheek and smiled. "Well then what are we waiting for?" I said quietly and the boys all looked at me. "Did you guys pack a bathing suit?"

They all chuckled, Calum pouting. "The pool table was the better option." I shrugged, giving him a kiss.

"Yea maybe, but I'm feeling like swimming at the moment." He smiled and I squeezed out of the group cuddle, searching through my bags to find my swim trunks.

The other boys got up to find their bags and I let my smile linger as they left the room, they always knew how to make me happy, most of the time they didn't even try.

I ran outside when I had changed but a guy put a hand on my chest at the back door, stopping me in my tracks. "Your not aloud outside until we make a sweep of the property to make sure it's safe." I sighed and turned around. Of course.

I sat down on the floor, resting my chin on my hand. The boys came running out, not noticing me and just running out the door. I sighed and watched as they jumped in the water, laughing as Calum splashed Ashton than ran away.

I smiled at the smiles on their faces, at least they'll be happy here. I got up and started to walk back to my room when Calum yelled my name.

I turned and smiled at him but kept walking back up the stairs. I heard the door slide open and than wet arms wrap around my middle. I squeaked, it was cold. "Where are you gong?" Michael whispered in my ear.

I shivered. "I'm not aloud outside until they check the whole perimeter." I turned my head to see his face where it was resting on my shoulder. He had a frown on his face. He grabbed my hand and turned around.

He walked out the door, not letting my hand go, but the minute I reached the door, the man put his hand on my chest again. My hand slipped from Michaels and he turned back, glaring at the guy. He slapped the guys hand off of me, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"You're not aloud out until-"

"You check the whole perimeter, yeah we know." Michael grumbled. The man kept a straight face and I sighed.

"Mikey it's fine, go have fun." I said with a small smile. He shook his head.

"Why don't you do your job and just come out here and watch for things your supposed to look for like crazy maniacs that scratch their own eyes out. Not keep him cooped up in the house." Michael glared and pulled me close to his side.

He dragged me out of the doorway while the man followed and I had to stifle a laugh.

"That was hot." I whispered to Michael and he turned to me with a smirk.

"Yeah? You liked that?" He asked and I nodded. He turned around to give me a kiss and I laughed when he pulled away, pushing him in the water as he was distracted.

He gasped and cursed, Ashton giving him a glare and slapping the back of his head.

I giggled and ran away from Michael as he tried to throw me in the pool. I finally just gave up as he grabbed me around the waist, spinning me slightly before picking me up bridal style.

I held onto his neck tightly as he swung me like he was about to throw me but ended up just cradling me back to his chest each time. I squealed as he pretended to drop me, making all of them laugh. I glared at him playfully and he gave me a innocent look.

"Hey Ashton!" Michael said, suddenly grinning, not breaking eye contact with me.

"Yeah?"

"Catch!" Michael yelled, finally chucking me in.

I yelled but ended up falling right near Ashton who caught me just as my head was about to go under. I clung to him, wrapping my legs and arms around him.

"Meanie." I mutter and Ashton laughs, giving me a kiss.

There's a big splash as Michael yells "Cannon ball!" And jumps in. Calum just floats over to us on his back, his eyes closed, with a huge smile on his face.

That is until Michael snuck up on him and jumped out from under the water, scaring him. Calum yelled in surprise and I couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face.

He pouted and started trying to wrestle Mikey and you could tell he was going easy on Calum, everyone could see, well everyone but Calum.

"They're definitely weird." Ashton mumbled and I rested my forehead against his shoulder.

"Yea but we love them any way." I mumble and I look up to meet Ashton's eyes.

"Definitely." He mumbles, leaning in to give me another kiss.

EXTREMELY FLUFFY OML.
