Tiffs POV -

"Shh, don't wake her" I hear Cal whisper as hands slip around me, lifting me slowly

"Shes so cute when she sleeps" Ashton coos and whoever is carrying me starts to walk. I try to open my eyes but they are too heavy so I keep them closed

"Will you guys stop obsessing over her and open the door already" Luke laughs. His voice is the closest so im guessing hes the one that's carrying me. I feel the hot air engulf my body as we step into the house

"Ill go take her to her room" Luke says and I smile slightly. His footsteps are the only sound in the corridor, until my door opens and shuts behind us. He gently places me down on my bed. It was still the afternoon but I was so tired.

Suddenly I feel a pair of lips press against my head and hover for a short time

"Night beautiful" Luke whispers against my forehead and I take in what he just said. Did he really just call be beautiful. It must be a dream. He usually calls me a bitch or slut but never beautiful. As soon as I hear the door close again I flutter my eyes open and sit up. I guess it wasn't a dream. I guess I should wait for a while considering they think im asleep. But im soo bored. Screw it, im leaving. I rise from the bed and go into the bathroom to remove the makeup, careful not to hurt my cheek. After I go out and change into some sweats and a different crop top.

You could hear the boys voices from the other side of the hall. They were all laughing about something. My figure appears in the entrance of the living room and all the boys face me

"Heres sleeping beauty" Mikey exclaims and I smile appears on my face. He was so sweet. I trail to the sofa and fall onto it, huffing.

"Wow, I didn't realise that bruise. Since when was that there?" Luke asks and I groan, not intending it to be out loud.

"Look, its nothing." I say casually and turn my attention towards the telly. This program was so boring. There was hardly anything on telly so I decide to go back to my room and choose a movie. I reached out for my door handle but was pulled in the opposite direction. It was all a blur until I hear a door click. Im now in a room. Lukes room.

"Do you mind?" I snap and he chuckles

"No" He states and I huff. Why am I even in here?

"And why am I here exactly?" I ask raising my hands slightly. He just walks over to his bed and jumps on it, mucking up the covers in the process

"You're here to tell me the truth" He shrugs and I laugh slightly. I have absolutely no idea what he is going on about nor do I want to.

"I really don't know what your talking ab-"

"Cut the crap with me, Tiff. I know you know what happened to your cheek and theres no point in denying it" He says casually and my eyes widen in shock. Why would he even care anyway, he hates me. But there was no way I could tell him what happened. He will probably think im making it up or that im attention seeking. Just lie

"I tripped and fell on my face, that's all" I try to sound as casual as possible and he nods. He actually fell for that. Idiot.

"Wait, why do you care, you hate me?" I ask walking nearer to his bed.

"I don't hate you" He states quickly. I look at him with confusion and he sighs

"Look, just because we used to fight doesn't mean I hate you" I cant believe he just said that

"Erm it kind of does. That's the whole point" He looks at me, his eyes showing slight frustration.

"Look cant you just accept that I don't hate you?" His says, his voice starting to become louder

"No, cause you put me through hell. You and your stupid girlfriend! Do you know how many times you called me fat and ugly. And everyone wonders why im self-conscious. " I almost scream at him and he just gets angrier

"Oh you think your so innocent, you've said loads of things about me. So I was just returning the favour" He shouts and I chuckle

"You think this is my fault. Your pathetic" I turn and reach for the door handle. But im stopped by Lukes hand grabbing my wrist and pushing my body against the door

"Luke what the actual fu-" Im cut off by his lips crashing onto mine. At first I refuse to kiss back, but slowly I start to respond. As soon as I do, the butterflies return like the first kiss we ever had

"You talk to much" He mumbles into the kiss, returning his lips onto mine soon after

"Shut up" I mumble back, my voice slightly playful. We have possibly the strangest relationship in the world. One minute we are arguing, the next were kissing.

I pull away from him and he lingers there for a few seconds before realising what is going on

"Sorry I had to do that" He steps back, his breathing irregular. I nod slightly before exiting into the corridor. What the fuck did he mean by he had to do it. That made no sense whatsoever. I sprint to my room to find Ash sitting on my bed.

"Oh here you are, I need to ask you something" He smiles and I smile back. I run and sit on my bed, swinging the door shut

"Sure, what is it" I say enthusiastically

"What really happened to your face" He sighs and I groan again. Why cant they just leave it alone. But I could trust Ashton, he wouldn't tell anyone. But what if he does?Oh I might as well

"Fine, it was..........Ella" I whisper the last part but he could still hear it

"Ella as in, Luke's Ella?" He asks. I nod and look at the floor. There is a long silence. I look up to see him looking absolutely pissed. Maybe it was a bad idea to tell him. He quickly rises from the bed and almost runs out the door, heading towards Luke's room. Oh shit

"Ash wait" I scream running after him. But it was too late. He had already barged into Lukes room and I could hear shouting. I run in seeing Ashton pinning Luke against the wall

"Keep your girlfriend away from Tiff, you got it" He shouts through gritted teeth and I pull him back. He instantly drops Luke's shirt and I grab his shoulder so he doesn't lunge himself at Luke

"What the fuck you talking 'bout" He asks straightening out his shirt. He looks at me confused but I just look at the floor

"Your seriously one bastard, how could you let Ella do that to Tiff" He points to my check and I blush. I hated the attention on me

"Tiff, you told me you fell" Luke's voice is calm but it makes me mad for some reason

"Oh well what was I supposed to do, say 'oh your girlfriend was slapping me and pulling my hair in the time when you thought she was apologising'?" I don't know where this confidence has come from. Don't stop Tiff

Luke just looks at me with shock spread across his face. His mouth is open slightly but he looks to the floor. All the confidence inside me drains away slowly and I pull Ash back further

"Ash, come on" I say and pull him out the door. I turn around and am suddenly engulfed in a hug. I instantly hug him back, his chin resting on the top of my head

"I wont let her hurt you again, ok?" He whispers and I nod. Those words were music to my ears
