A Little Death ; 5sos

fifteen

A small ray of sunshine made its way through Elaine's curtain, hitting her in the face and achieving the goal of waking her up. She was laying there in bed for a while until it hit her that today was the first day of her new therapy group.

Things were finally looking up for Elaine; it had been a week since she made amends with her mom; it was now summer, which meant no Calum; and Luke hasn't been around. She is glad he got her message to stay away: He was starting to get obsessive, aggressive, and possessive (just had to throw that last one in).

Not wanting to be the late, new girl on the first day, she got out of bed and grabbed some clothes.

Today, she decided to change up her look a little bit; instead of wearing her usual black garb, she was wearing blue jeans and a light gray sweater. For makeup, she lightly brushed some mascara on her eyelashes and put some rouge on her cheeks, lightening things up.

Walking out of her room, she stopped to study her new look in the mirror that was mounted on her bedroom door.

Hmm...not bad.

Since Elaine and her mother were now on good terms, she was driven to her session rather than walking outside. Elaine's hands were sweaty as she walked into the room.

However, when she walked inside she noticed that this new room was a lot more welcoming than the other dark, almost dungeon-like one. The walls were a nice cream color, and the floors were hard-wood with rugs scattered around. It reminded her of someone's dining room.

Despite her efforts to get there on time, Elaine still managed to be late to the meeting, so all eyes were on her as she made her way closer to the long table where the therapy group was being held.

"Umm... I'm Elaine. I believe I'm supposed to be in this room.", she half-mumbled, half-spoke with her face down looking at the floor.

"Oh, Yes, Elaine! We've been expecting you! We haven't gotten a new person in a while and it's always exciting to see fresh faces!" The overly enthusiastic councilor basically yelled out.

The new councilor was a young woman with box-blonde hair, but it somehow suited her well. She was probably in her late twenties or early thirties. Her blue, almost silver, eyes were focused on Elaine as she moved from the door and sat down in a random chair at the table.

Elaine raised her head (finally) and realized that she had sat down next to the most attractive boy she's ever seen. This just made her even more nervous than she was; now she had to act calm even though she had sat down next to a fucking god.

Golden curls crowned his head and his eyes reminded her of shimmering water after being hit by the dying sun. Their color is very similar to Elaine's; hazel-green. He seemed to radiate sunshine and happiness- exactly what Elaine needed in her life. He had on a tank-top with some band's logo on it (typical for a guy she'd find attractive), and a pair of black skinny jeans. She also noticed how thick his arm muscles were.

damn.

"Ok, so," the blonde woman started, "since we have a new person added to our group, everyone needs to re-introduce themselves."

Elaine didn't pay attention while others were talking about themselves, not that she really cared; her mind was focused on that boy. It was only when it was the god-like boy's turn to talk finally approached did she actually start listening.

He turned to her and spoke for the first time since she had walked into the room, "Hi, I'm Ashton." He then proceeded to let out a little nervous giggle.

A giggle

Elaine noticed the dimples on he's cheeks when he smiled at her.

Oh lord, he's adorable.

It took both of them a moment to realize that they were sitting there staring at each other. The prolonged eye contact made Elaine blush and look away. Ashton noticed her blushing and also looked away with a red tint also forming on his cheeks. However, while Elaine was still turned away (and blushing), he looked her again while slightly nibbling on his lip and ignoring his own heated cheeks.

What Elaine didn't know was that they both shared the same thoughts;

wow
