i sit patiently, holding the phone up to my ear. i can hear yelling, mostly michael and it's kind of upsetting. finally, after a few minutes, i hear a weak voice.

"luke?"

"ashton," i breathe out. he starts crying. i can hear him.

"luke," he repeats and i let him. i don't say anything until i only hear weak sniffles.

"hey."

"hi.." he whimpers.

"please come home," i tell him hopefully.

"no," he says quietly. "not yet. i-i don't trust y-you."

my heart breaks. "i won't hurt you," i promise. he sniffles again.

"no, luke. i can't."

"why not? ash, please. i need you."

i hear a sob before the line goes dead.
