I stood by my car waiting for Grace. We are going to the mall. I'm driving because her car broke down. Calum's been driving her to and from school.

As I was waiting, Ashton walked up. One hand was stuffed in his pocket and the other was scratching the back of his neck,

"Hey" I grinned,

"Hey" he smiled, "So, uh, I have two tickets for Mayday Parade tomorrow night. Would you, uh, want to come with me?"

My heart was racing. Is this like a date?

"I'd love to go. Are you sure you wanna take me though?" I asked. I didn't know if he truly wanted to take me considering we barely know each other.

Ashton chuckled,

"Yes of course I want you to with me. I know you like them a lot and I figured it'd be fun" he shrugged making me grin,

"I'd love to go then"

"Awesome" he hugged me, the butterflies in my stomach erupting.

We pulled back and Ashton got all fumbly again,

"Text me your address and I'll let you know what time I'll pick you up"

"Awesome. Thanks Ashton"

He smiled and got in his car.

Grace finally got to my car and had a huge smirk on her face,

"Someone's got a date"

"It's not a date" I rolled my eyes and got in the car,

"It's a date" she smirked,

"How do you even know? It literally just happened" I questioned backing out and getting on the road,

"He texted the boys and I was standing with Calum and saw it"

****

"So what're you going to wear on your date?" Grace teased as we walked into Hollister,

"It's not a date" I rolled my eyes, "And probably jeans and a Mayday Parade shirt"

"It's so a date" she smirked and walked over to a table of shirts. I followed behind, looking at them, grabbing a couple.

We bought our items then started walking around the mall again before we headed back to my house.

****

"Do you like Ashton?" Grace questioned as we laid on my bed,

"Grace!" I exclaimed with a laugh,

"C'mon!" Grace laughed, "Do you like him? Do you think he's hot?"

I sighed,

"Yes Grace I do" I nodded, "but, I don't know him very well"

"Well, that's why you date. Calum and I only knew each other for a month before we dated"

"I don't know Grace" I mumbled, "My last relationship was bad and I'm just scared"

My last boyfriend, Logan, was a horrible person. He controlled me and he hurt me, physically and mentally. I was too scared to break up with him. What got me out was when Jude walked into my room when Logan was beating the shit out of me. I hate talking about it.
