"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled and pushed him away. I just found out my fiancé who I was going to marry was cheating on me, sending money to other girls for inappropriate pictures again. I had to leave, I was tired of being hurt and this was the last straw.

"Natalie, please don't go." My now ex tried to stop me from leaving but I wasn't going to stay any longer. I started packing my stuff, crying because I truly believed he was going to change. We were together for 3 and a half years and I just couldn't deal with being mistreated again so I knew exactly what I had to do.

"No, I told you if it happened again, I was leaving and I meant it." I grabbed what I could and left the house and walked to my mom's. About 15 minutes later, I knocked on her door. My mom answered to see me standing there, crying again.

"What happened?" She pulled me in for a hug. I explained everything. My stepdad then offered to help get the rest of my things from my ex's house. It took a few hours, but I eventually got everything, and I now no longer need to see him again. I thankfully still hadn't paid off a lot for the wedding I was supposed to have so i used the money to buy new stuff for my room I was going to be staying in at my mom/s house. It only took a few days to get everything since I ordered a lot from Amazon.

As time went on in my life, it felt so weird being single again, but it certainly beats being manipulated in a relationship with someone who clearly didn't give a shit about me. It's now been about 3 months since I left my ex and I decided to download Tinder on my phone, just to see who I may find online. I wasn't looking for anything serious at the moment, I just wanted to have some fun maybe.

As I kept scrolling on Tinder, I swiped right on a few people but not too many caught my eye. Suddenly, the next person I came across as I was swiping, I nearly screamed. "There is no way its him, someone has to be using his pictures." I came across a profile with Ashton Irwin's name and pictures, but I can't believe it would actually be him. I decide to swipe right anyways just to see if anything ever happens. Several days go by until I get a notification that I got matched on Tinder with someone. I grab my phone to check and my mouth drops. I got a match with Ashton!

I completely stare for several minutes when I get a message from "his" account.

A: Hey :)

N: Hi..

A: How are you, beautiful?

N: I am doing well, how are you?

A: I am great. Do you know who I am?

N: Yes.. is it really you, Ashton?

A: It is, do you want me to prove it to you?

N: Sure :)

A: Do you have FaceTime?

N: I do

A: Give me your number and I can FaceTime you to prove to you it's really me :)

N: Ok :) I give him my number. A few minutes later, I get a FaceTime call from a number from California. I start to get really nervous, but I answer it anyways.

I look down at my screen to see Ashton smiling at me. "HOLY SHIT!" I am in shock that it's really him!

"I told you it was me." Ashton smiles again.

"This can't be real... I honestly don't even know what to say... " I start to blush as I am talking to Ashton over FaceTime. We start having conversations about ourselves getting to know each other. I am still in shock that I am really talking to this man I have been following on social media and enjoying his music for the last 10 years.
