Where were you?
Ash’s POV
I started the car after about 10-20 minutes of crying, I drove back the way I came and stopped at a gas station to fill the tank. “Hi, how are you?” a friendly guy came walking towards me and stopped at my open window. “Hopefully ok” he added I just nodded in reply and he had put a smile on his face. For the first time I actually saw his face through my tears, his hair was a dark black with a few highlights, his hair had looked like he had just run it through with his fingers – not even worrying about the hairs that had been curled up. “Full” he asked me with a friendly smile. “Yes please.” I replied. After I had payed I took the route back home, feeling relaxed after everything that had just happened, the past hour.
Leah’s POV
I still don’t know what caused Ashton to react that way and to just climb into his car and drive away, but whatever it was must’ve been bad. After he had left, Calum had helped to ‘doctor’ Michael’s bleeding nose, while Luke calmed me and told me it’s ok. Michael then left without saying goodbye to anyone. I went back to change into my clothes, because I had forgotten that I still had the bikini, with one of Ash’s shirts over on. When the time since Ash left, had changed into 20 minutes, I started to worry and couldn’t get my mind off anything else. I had the worst scenario’s playing over and over in my head. Leaving me in tears after a while, not able to take it anymore. I laid down on Ash’s bed and started to cry. I had put on some music to prevent Luke and Calum hearing me crying.
Another 20 minutes had past and still no sign of Ash. I wonder I he knows what stress and worry he is causing me. I try to remember the events that had took place a little under 40 minutes ago. After I ended Michael told me I was such a wanna be and I then started to cry, by his comment. Luke came to stood by my side and told me that the only reason Michael is acting that way is because that was his previous girlfriend’s favourite song and that she broke his heart and had left him for another guy.
But after Michael made the comment Ash had hit him with his fist. He then looked my way and started crying? I wonder what had caused him to cry… for the next 20 minutes I layed there on his bed wondering what had caused him to cry. Just then I heard something outside and I walked up to the window. I really hoped for it to be Ash, and when I saw his car, I started to run I had almost attacked the closed door but I had luckily stopped before I crashed into it. I opened the door and started to run.
When I reached the door that leads to the garage Ashton came walking in and I started to slow down. I threw my arms around him for a hug and started crying. “Don’t ever do that to me again” I whispered. Just hard enough for him to hear me, and he threw is arms around me, keeping me close to him. “I was worried sick, where were you?” I said. He still didn’t reply he just hugged me even tighter and kept me even closer to him. As we stood there I could hear his heartbeat and it slowly started to calm me. “Why?” I asked him as I lifted my head from his chest to see his face. “Why?” he asked confused. “Why did you cry and why did you just get in your car and leave?” I asked. Tears started to form in his eyes. “Because when I saw Luke calming you when you started to cry I couldn’t take seeing another guy calming you and telling you “it’s ok” when you’re upset.” He said with tears slowly rolling one by one, off his cheeks.
I then realised how much he cared for me and thinking back to the way I reacted when I didn’t know if he was fine I now also realise how much I care for him. I hugged him as tight as I could, not wanting to let go of him and the thought of him one day not being here anymore, frightened me. I started to listen to his heartbeat again and that nasty thought disappeared.
Ash’s POV
She really cares about me and I was such a fool for thinking that she was doing that intentionally. I start to wonder about what she told me 2 weeks ago. I still can’t remember for who I left her. Just then the lightbulb’s power source started to supply power again. I left Leah to hang out with that slut Cheri-Lee and I ended up with no friends after Cheri-Lee cheated on me- which I know for sure is one thing that Leah would never do to me. I now realise that not only did I lost my best friend back then, but I had also lost the best thing that has ever happened to me. So I better not fuck it up AGAIN. “I drove to the park” I whispered in her ear and I could feel her smiling into my chest. “Really” she said as she looked up from my chest. “Yeah” I replied smiling.
“I care about you” she whispered into my ear. I now know for sure that she really do cares about me and before I could stop myself the words just kept on escaping my mouth. “I love every inch of you, all the way from your toes and all the way up to your head. I love the way you smile, and the way you make me smile- just by looking at you. I love the way you act when you think that nobody is watching and I love the way you look at me. And one thing I know for sure is that you deserve a lot better than me” I said as our eyes locked on each other. “Ashton, I love you with all you insecurities and stop judging yourself, cause in my eyes you are prefect.” She replied with a warm smile, making me smile. Did she just say she loves me? I can’t believe it, my dream is coming true.
I kissed her on her forehead, before we walked through the kitchen and into the TV room. “Choose one” I smiled and motioned her towards the DVD’s. “I don’t know which one” she replied shyly. “Anyone” I replied as I walked up to her. “The Ultimate Gift?” she asked with an uncertain smile. “Why not” I smiled. While she had put on the movie I quickly made some popcorn and went to sit down next to her.
Leah’s POV
Ash returned from the kitchen with a big bowl of popcorn and just in time for the movie. He sat down next to me. He placed the bowl on my lap and swung his arms around me. We were in the middle of the movie when Ash asked “Do you know what time it is?” “Nope” I replied and not even looking at him. “Well, I know” he smiled “It’s time for you to go home” he said as he threw popcorn into my shirt. I took some popcorn and threw it at him (luckily for me I had the bowl). As I tried to get the popcorn out of my shirt, Ash took the opportunity to hijack the bowl.
He threw some at me, causing me to laugh at the distance that he missed me at (about a few metres). This time I took the bowl and stuffed some popcorn into his shirt, but it didn’t take long before I also had popcorn down my shirt. This went on a while and eventually we collapsed out of laughter when we saw the mess that we had created in a few minutes. He took the advantage to dump the last bit of popcorn over me, but he wasn’t fast enough to stop me from tackling him. For a few minutes we sat there laughing at what we created and also the way we looked.
Just then my phone rang and I saw my mother’s name pop up.
Leah: Hii mom, what’s up?
Mom: Hey Leah, when are you coming home? Dinner is almost done
Leah: On my way
Mom: Love you
Leah: Love you to
“Was that your mom calling to say it’s time to come home?” he asked with a sad look on his face. “Yeah” I replied. He helped me to my feet and we got my bags from his room.
Both of us got into the car and he pulled out of the drive way. The ride home was lots of fun, because as we started to pull out of his driveway one of my favourite song started playing, ‘Air guitar’ by Mc Busted. To my surprise Ashton knew the whole song and both of us sang the song LOUD… The next song started playing and it ended up being ‘Style’ by Taylor Swift and the list of songs just went on and on… Leaving Ash and I singing at the top of our voices.
When we got out of the car he said “Today was a fairy tale” “Why?” I asked “Because it had drama, but in the end they lived happily ever after.” He smiled “Yeah, that’s true” I said with a smile as I pecked him on the cheek.“Bye, see you tomorrow” I smiled at him “Bye” he replied. “Love you” he said as he blew me a kiss. “Love you to” I said while returning the kiss.
