Without You

chapter 5

Blake pov

I wake up in my bed ¨how did I get here¨ 

¨was that all just some crazy dream¨ the last thing I remember is seeing Ashton on top of Kyle

 from the party but I don't even know if that was real sure felt like it as I throw the covers off and look down I see the clothes that Haze picked out for me on and sure enough, it was all real I don't even know what to think I have to find Ashton and thank him. I rush out the door to go find Ashton *thud* ¨ow¨ I get up off the floor what the hell did I just trip over 

¨Blake!!¨ I hear and in seconds I'm suddenly wrapped in the arms of Ashton Kendrick Baylor this is new but I'm not complaining 

¨why were you laying on the floor?¨ 

¨they wouldn't let me in, are you okay¨ he asks frantically 

¨yeah I'm fine maybe a little bruised from the fall I took over your body, uh Ashton you can let go of me¨ 

¨oh sorry just happy your okay, I didn't know how you'd feel after last night¨ 

¨um I'm a little embarrassed I trusted that douche but overall okay¨ 

¨its fine he's taken care of you have nothing to be embarrassed about he's a predator¨

 this is a side of Ashton I haven't really seen in a long time, not since my dad left to go live with his tramp Trinity I was only 8 how do you do that to an 8-year-old it flipped my whole world upside down luckily we had Ashtons family his dad became like mine taking me to all the daddy-daughter dances which made it harder to handle when he died we were only 16 it was tragic but our moms did everything to make our lives no different we all ended up moving in together like one big happy family with no dads. 

He pulls away and we just stare into each others eyes 

¨wheres Haze and Ellie¨ I ask 

¨they went to Hazes place¨ he tells me I wonder why they didn't just stay here I think to myself 

¨they didn't want to bother you¨ he answers me 

¨am I saying that out loud?¨ I ask 

¨yeah you are¨ he laughs at the heat in my cheeks from his response 

¨it's cute though don't worry¨ he reassures me did Ashton just call me cute I change the subject 

¨wanna come in I'll make you some coffee we just got a keurig¨ I offer its least I can do seeing as he just spent the night on the floor just to check on me 

¨sure that'd be great¨ he accepts as he follows me into the room I start the coffee and walk over to the closet and grab a pair of legging and an old hoodie 

¨im gonna change¨ I look down at what I'm wearing ¨out of this¨ 

I walk out of the bathroom changed into the clothes I picked out ¨

is that my old hoodie¨ Ashton asks 

as I glance down I see I'm wearing his old first year hoodie for motocross 

¨i guess it is ha Owell it's comfy¨ I try and brush off the fact that I even own the hoodie but it's not my fault his mom sent it to me I walk over and grab the freshly poured coffee 

¨creamer?¨ I ask Ashton 

¨no thanks, I take it black¨ 

¨okay weirdo¨ I say giving him a weirded out look 

¨so you going home next week for thanksgiving?¨ I ask him 

¨yeah my mom booked me a flight¨ he says  

¨no way mine too, wait what day?¨ i ask

¨uh Wednesday I think, how bout you¨

 ¨same, looks like we're flight buddies¨ 

¨sounds good to me¨ of course our moms booked our flights together what else would I expect now I have to fly with Ashton but for some reason I'm not completely repulsed by the idea. 

¨I can't wait to see the kids¨ I say excitedly 

¨yeah me too there always the best part¨ he agrees with me

 Even though my brother Josh and I are only 22 he already has two kids one whose 3 my niece maria and one who just turned 1 Layton they are the light of all our lives bring so much joy and innocence back into our big family that hasn't been there in a long time.
