Forever, I Promise || A.I.

Chapter 27

~Ashton's Pov~

She's been locked in her room for 2 days. No one even went in to check on her yet. I would, but she's locked in there for a reason, and that's me.

After the kiss at Knuckleheads, when we got into the car, she was quiet. The whole ride home, nothing came out of her mouth. I tried to start conversations with her, but she seemed so lost in thought, she never joined in.

I should regret that kiss, but I don't. That's what I've been craving for for days. A way that we could connect again, a way that I could remind not only myself, but Nikki, of the love that we had-have. The love that we have.

This isn't over. This is not the end. Today is the day I get the love of my life back. No matter what happens today, I know Nikki will wake up tomorrow knowing who I am.

I guarantee she will.

--------------

As I sit in my bedroom thinking of what to do to have Nikki remember me, I decide that I can't think of what do by myself.

I call up the boys and ask if they can come over. They show up in the next 15 minutes, looking surprisingly tired. I mean, I know they've been having a hard time with this Nikki thing too, but I didn't know they were loosing sleep over it.

"Hey guys, thanks for coming over."

Luke smiles weakly, "Of course. We just want to help as much as we can. We all miss her, so much."

I nod. I look over at Michael and see a tear fall down his cheek.

"Listen, I had you guys come over so we can plan out what to do," they all look at me, confused, "we need to come up with a plan to get her to remember me. And you too, obviously."

Calum shakes him head, "Impossible. What are we going to do? We can't really do anything without freaking her out."

Well, shit.

"I kind of, accidentally did that already..."

"Shit, dude. What the hell did you do?" Calum says, with a pissed off tone.

"You know Knuckleheads? The amusement park? Well, I took her there a couple of days ago, hoping we would have a lot of fun. I thought maybe she'd remember me."

Michael sighs. Then he looks a little angry. "Fuck, you kissed her didn't you? Dammit Ashton! Are you out of your fucking mind?!"

Now I get a little pissed off. "Listen! I didn't have much of a choice! Do you know what it feels like to have the gir-woman you love not remember who you are? I had to do it! I can't live without her. She's my world. The love of my life."

"Um, Ash? You shou-"

"No Calum! I don't care what you guys think! I need her, I need her so fucking bad. No one has seen her in two days because of what I did. It's killing me you guys. I feel, broken."

That's when I fell to the floor and cried my eyes out. The boys dropped down to comfort me. I felt them trying to pick me back up but I kept screaming that them to leave me alone. And they did eventually listened to me.

After they left, I fell asleep on my cold bedroom floor. This is my life now. I'm all alone.

I was probably on the floor for about an hour or two before I felt and hand on my back. I know it wasn't one of the boys because it was a soft, small hand. It was either my mom, or...

"Nikki?"

I sit up and turn around. There she is, sitting on my bedroom floor. The most beautiful girl in the world is sitting in front of me right now after being locked in her room for days.

She smiles a little bit and looks up at me with those big, bright, beautiful blue eyes.

"I'm so sorry about the other da-" I start but she cuts me off.

"Can you just shut up and kiss me again?"

I don't even take a second to think about it. I connect our lips so hard and fast, I almost knock her over. Ive wanted this for so long.

Nikki's Pov

I've been locked in my room for 2 days because I can't face Ashton. I mean, that kiss was nice. No, it was wonderful. Amazing.

I kind of, but don't completely remember him. I remember being friends with him, I even remember most of his friends. I know Luke and Michael, but I don't know who the last one is. I just can't put my finger on it.

After he kissed me in that Knuckleheads parking lot, I knew I felt that feeling before. That feeling where your lips go numb and your legs turn into jell-o. But, after I realized I remembered him, I just couldn't look at him.

His friends left about an hour ago and I heard them talking on their way out through my door.

"Dude, he's a mess. We need to go back in there and help him through all this," I heard Luke say.

The other boy with the name I can't remember responds to him saying, "No. He said to leave. If we want to help him, we have to listen to him. He wants to take control of all of this, so let's let him."

I felt like going out to see them, but I couldn't face them before I faced Ashton.

I stayed in my room for about an hour before going to check on Ashton.

I opened the door quietly, and walked softly to his room. His door was wide open and we was lying on the floor, sleeping. He looked as if he were having a nightmare.

I walk over to him and touch his back, trying to wake him up nicely. He jumps a little and sits up. He turns to me with a surprised look.

I smile at him. He doesn't smile back.

I really want to kiss him. I want to have that feeling again. I need to remember him as the boy I love.

"I'm so sorry about the other da-"

I cut him off, not caring about the other day.

"Can you just shut up and kiss me again."

He doesn't hesitate and kisses me with such force, I almost get knocked over, but I don't care. I get the same feeling I did the other day and I literally melt right there, on his bedroom floor.

Suddenly, everything starts rushing through my head. The first time I met him. Our first date. Pizza Hut with Luke, Michael, and Calum. The day I had a fight with my parents.

That all just causes me to kiss him harder. I hug him tighter and he moans a little bit.

He pulls away and looks at me. I can tell he's missed me. His eyes look so droopy, like he hasn't slept in days, or even weeks. But from the way he's looking at me with those tired eyes, I can tell he's happy again.

"I remember everything. I remember you, Ashton," I say. His eyes get a little wide and then he smiles the biggest smile I've ever seen.

He goes in for a kiss. It wasn't just any kiss, though. It was passionate, and long. He hugged me tightly as he kissed and I felt so safe in his arms. Like nothing could ruin this moment.

I pull away. I put my lips to his ear, "I love you so much Ashton. Promise me nothing will tear us apart again."

I look at his tear-filled eyes. He nods. "I promise. I promise that nothing will, Nikki."
