Kiss me

Christina's POV

I wake up in my bed sweating.

That date was a dream! Ugh but our actual date is in twenty minutes.

I run to my bathroom and put on makeup.
Then I put on a loose top
Then straighten my hair.

I hear a knock I finally place on sandals.

I run downstairs.

"Hey!" I said as I open up the door
"Hi" he replies.

"Ready to go on our picnic!" He says excitingly

I nod smiling.
We start walking. "So what are you interested in? You know other than playing drums?" I ask

"Um I like photography." He said. "We're going to a place with the BEST sunsets ever" he says and I smile.

"I like to take pictures but I'm not a photographer" I laugh

"Well what do you want to do?" He asks
"Well I've went had stages of a pirate, a fairy and a princess haha even I thought I was good at singing ha but now I want to be a nurse" I say as we arrive at our destination.

"Oh actually there is an opening just for that you know saint Mary's? I could take you tomorrow If you wanted..."

"Really?!" I scream excitingly

"Yeah!" He mimics me.

I punch him softly. We set down our blanket.

"So what do you want to nurse in?"
He asks me

"Babies! I want to take care of babies"
He just chuckles
"What?" I ask

"Nothing" he sing songs

I chuckle and look at the clear opening of trees and see a sunset.

I get up "woah" I say

I run near the edge

I just stare in amazement
I hear Ashton's camera go off

I turn around
"What the heck" I laugh
" I told you I like photography"

I just laughed

"So I'm your model?" I ask him

"Sure haha"

I make funny faces first and jump in mid air.

After I'm done professionally modeling (I'm totally kidding) we start eating.

He hands me a turkey sandwich with cheese and mayo. I take a bite and I'm in loove!!

Hmm the sun going down is such a nice veiw.....oh no...

I start to shake slightly

"Um can we get going..?"
"Why the stars are best part!" He says cheerfully
"Ashton I'm serious can we please go.."
"Just relax! It's fine the stars are beautiful!" He says cheerfully again
"a-ashton I have nyctophobia.."
"What's that?"
"It's fear of darkness okay...I n-need to go home please."
"Oh! I'm sorry we can go!"

He says jumping up grabbing everything putting it in the trunk.

I hop in the car and turn on the lights.
I breath in deeply trying to think it's bright out.

He shuts the car door.
"Wait so what happens when your sleeping?"
"It's different and I sleep with the lights on"
He just nods.

"I'm sorry I ruined the whole date." I laugh

"Are you a risk taker?"
"Um sure...."
"This date was never ruined"

He turns the car around. "Ashton..." I say warning him.

"Look your gonna face your fear. It's the dark okay?"

"Ashton it's not only the dark to me!!"

"It will be"

I shut my eyes tight.
He puts his hand on my hand and I feel relaxed and confused.

We stop. "I know the dark can be scary but can also be beautiful."

He gets out. I can't seem to move from squeezing my eyes shut and biting my lip.

I hear him knock on window door laughing.

"Come on it's not that bad."
I shake my head.
He sighs and unbuckled me and picks me up.

I wrap my arms around him and sets me on the blanket

I can't seem to move.
He sits down too. "Open your eyes" he says

I shake my head. "Please?"
I crack one eye open. Okay it's not terrible... Then the voices come

The darkness is your past...
The darkness is your past...

"Stop" I whisper

I open my left eye

I hear the whispers getting louder

"Hey..." Ashton rubs my arm and the voices go away

"What the heck..how-how did you do that?" I ask

"Do what?" He replys

"Make the voices go away..."
"Come here" he scoots me over and lays my head on his chest.
"Look at the stars" I look up and see them for it seems like forever.

"Wow" I say

I didn't realize I was falling asleep when I did
