Through The Dark

Ashton's POV

Through out our day at Universal Studios, I could tell something was up with Sophia.
I caught her gazing out in the distance, and suddenly, as if she knew she was being watched, snapped out of her thoughts, and pretended to immerse herself in the current conversation. She bit her lip, constantly, and although it was cute, it was killing me not knowing what was up.

"Guys? I'm going to buy a soda." She said. We were waiting in line for a dinosaur ride.

"I'll go with you." I said. She glanced at me before shrugging her shoulders.

We walked in silence, side by side.
"What's going on?" I asked.

Sophia tensed up. "Um. Nothing."

I stopped walking and placed my hands on her shoulders. I would have done anything just to lean in and hug or kiss her or something. Since we kinda confessed our feelings, we sort of fell out of place.

I ignored these thoughts.
"Seriously. Don't lie to me."

She looked down.
"I asked Simon to drop me off modest! after the Where We Are Tour." She whispered.

"Oh my God! Are you mental? How could you do such a thing like that?" I yelled.
A couple of people turned to look in our direction.

"A lot of things, actually. I'm too wrapped up in all this drama. I don't want to be known as the girl who dated Harry Styles for publicity. Out of all people, Ashton. I though you would be the most supportive!" She snapped. Sophia angrily brushed tears away.

"Sophia-" I began. The weight of our words sunk in. Hard.

"No, Ashton. Just stop." She said, backing away.

"Come back here!" I yelled.

She turned and ran, weaving through crowds. I chased after her.
"Sophia!" I yelled.

I stopped at the center of the intersection. I turned a full 360 degrees. Nothing.

I pulled out my phone, waving at a few fans.
"Michael. Sophia ran off. I cant find her." I said, desperation seeping through my voice.

Sophia's POV

I ran. And ran, And ran. Until I reached the exit of the amusement park. I didn't even bother to stamp my hand for a re-entry.

I sat at a table on the food court at City Walk, my head in my hands.
I've been holding this in for a few days now. Simon wasn't happy, but we agreed we should have waited to tour before the EP came out. He asked to record he final songs, sell out the EP, and take a break.

"Damn, you run fast." Someone said, sitting down in front off me.

I glared at the person sitting in front of me.
"Of course you would come, Styles." I said.

Harry laughed.
"Yes. You're my best friend. Why would I not come?"

"So now I'm your my best friend." I spat.

Harry's face paled.
"You've always been. But we have more important matters to discuss."

I folded my hands.
"And, what is that?"

"You need to stop running from the people who love you." Harry stated.
