All Alone (Aston Merrygold)

The Truth

Aston's POV

Oops... I told my mum how I feel about Charlie. Why did she have to open her big mouth, now I have to make up an excuse. "Urrr... just saying about maths and music." I smiled.

"Right." she sounded like she didn't believe me but left it.

Charlotte's POV

There's something Aston isn't telling me. "I just going to use the loo." I lied as he just smiled at me and nodded. Oh my gosh, he's so hot. I made my way up the stairs but past the toilet to Ast's room. There has to be something here.

I looked around and looked in one of his draws and found a notebook. Being my nosy self, I picked it up and turned to the first page which had the lyrics he sang for 'Crazy For You'. I looked further on and saw a song that had my name as the title.

It said: 'First day that I saw you, thought you were beautiful
But I couldn't talk to you, I watched you walk away
And it felt like I spent all of that second day
Trying to figure out what it was that I should have said'.

He likes me? I carried on reading the song. 'Third day, saw you again, introduced my friend
Said all the words I wanted to
On day four and five and six, I don't know what you did
But all I could think about was you
Thought I couldn't want you more than I did before
But every day I love you a little bit more
Find myself asking, what are you waiting for?
'cause every day I love you a little bit more
Days, they turned into weeks
That's how good this has been
Said I can't believe the way this first year has gone
Still, you catch me by surprise when I look in in your eyes
When you turn and say that you love me
Thought I couldn't want you more than I did before
But every day I love you a little bit more
Find myself asking, what are you waiting for?
'cause every day I love you a little bit more
(and more)
I love you more (and more)
I love you more (and more)
I love you more
Day one, I first laid my eyes on you
Day two, I can't help but think of you
Day three was the same as day two
Day four, I fell in love you
Day five, you spent it with me
Sixth day, knocked me off my feet
Day seven, that's when I knew
I'd spend the rest of my life with you'.

The song wasn't finished but I couldn't believe what I'd just read. The song was called "To Charlotte Thompson." I can't believe Aston likes me. Maybe that's what his mum meant. I know what I'm going to do.

I ran downstairs with the book in my hand. I got to the door of the front room and stopped. I looked in to see Aston sipping his drink and singing a little of 'Crazy For You'. Right here goes nothing!

Aston's POV

"First day that I saw you, thought you were beautiful
But I couldn't talk to you, I watched you walk away
And it felt like I spent all of that second day
Trying to figure out what it was that I should have said." Wait that's my song for Charlie. Oh no! She came into the room singing it from my notebook. Her voice fitted the song perfectly.

When she had finished singing it she said "I found this." She held my book up. "The songs are really good."

"Charlie, I ... I like you, maybe more. I wrote you a song, well it isn't finished but I was going to finish it and sing it to you. I didn't know if you liked me." I said quickly.

"Ast, it's fine... I like you... wait no, I love you. I have ever since I saw you and you were so cute when we were in primary school and now your just the hottest boy in the school. Your so kind and caring, you've taken me in your home, for goodness sake, you have an amazing voice and your an amazing song writer. I must be the happiest girl alive to know that the boy I like, likes me back." That is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me. Not even my past girlfriends have said anything so lovely.

"I actually have the same story. I've always thought you were beautiful and kind and sweet. I just can't believe you feel the same way. Please, Charlie, would you be my girlfriend?"

"Oh Aston, is thought you'd never ask." A tear of happiness fell down her cheek. I hugged her, tightly.

Charlotte's POV

I'm not alone anymore!
