Chapter Forty Eight

"You...you what?" I stutter out as I scoot away from Ashton.

"No, listen baby girl. I love you, I love you so much but not in  romantic way. I love you as a best friend. It's like the love you have for your family," he says while placing his hands on my cheeks.

"No, no, no. Ash you can't love me," I say quietly as tears come to my eyes.

"Of course I can and I do. Why can't I?" he asks.

"Because, it's wrong. You can't love a broken girl. You can't love someone like me."

"Baby girl, I can love who ever I want regardless of age, race, religion, gender, disability or how broken they are. I can love you no matter what baby girl and I will," he says while wiping away my tears.

I slowly let the tears roll down my cheeks, small sobs escaping my mouth. Ashton carefully pulls me into his arms, my head resting against his chest. I wrap my arms around his neck, playing with the ends of his soft hair.

"I love you baby girl, don't you forget that okay?"

And the more I think about those three words, the more I realise how I feel, "I love you too Ashy.

I can feel Ashtons' lips curve up into a smile as his face is pressed into the crook of my neck. His nose rubs against the skin there, making me break out in goosebumps. I run my fingers through his hair, smirking a little bit as I feel his body shiver.

"You okay now baby girl?"

"I'm as good as I can be Ash," I mumble.

"That's good I suppose. Now, how about you go and have shower while I go and make us some breakfast, hmm?"

"Okay," I say as I pull away from him.

As I pull away, Ashton presses a kiss to my forehead, his nose rubbing against the skin on my forehead. I smile a little bit as he pulls away and climbs out of bed holding out a hand to help me up. I place my hand in his, smiling as it fits perfectly. 

He pulls me up from the bed before bending down and picking up my crutches for me. He hands them to me, presses another kiss to my forehead and then he walks out the door, after grabbing my laptop, and towards the kitchen leaving me smiling at his retreating figure.

*Ashtons' P.O.V*

I let out a long breath as I reach the kitchen, running a hand down my face. I put Millys' laptop down before ringing the boys again. As I wait for them to answer, I slouch down in the kitchen seat, putting my head in my hands.

"Mate what's wrong? Where's Milly?" I hear causing me to look up quickly.

"She's in the shower," I mumble.

"Okay, well what's wrong? And don't say nothing because we are't stupid."

"I...I told her that I loved her," and I hear the boys gasp quietly, "She freaked out so I made up some thing about it being a best friend love. I don't love her as a best friend! I really, truly love her mates. I don't know what to do."

"Mate, you need to calm down first," Luke says to me.

"That isn't going to help me with this Luke," I hiss.

"Ashton, calm down and let us help you okay?"

"Alright," I sigh in defeat.

"Okay, so I know it probably sucks to feel this way and have to hide it from he but there isn't much you can do. You met her yesterday. So I think that you should just hide it for a while and then, after you've known er for a while, tell her how you really feel," Michael says, acting all smart.

"I know but we go back on tour in a week and a half and, you guys wouldn't understand but, I've realised that I can't leave her here on her own," I say while thinking about the scars that mark her skin.

"Well why don't you bring her with us?"

My head snaps up, looking for whoever said that. I've thought about this but I didn't think that the boys would agree with it. I never thought the boys would agree with me bringing a girl on tour with us that I met yesterday.

"You...you really think I should do that?"

"Mate, we could see how...broken she looked and when you two were together she looked happier. We may have only just met her but we can see just how much she means to you and we don't want anything to happen to her so we think you should invite her on tour," Cal says.

"Yeah mate, invite her. It will be good for you and for her."

I turn the laptop so it is looking towards the counter. I get up and grab all the things I'll need to make pancakes before I start to cook. I can see the boys all looking at me, probably knowing that I'm cooking just so I can get my mind of Milly and my feelings towards her.

"Mate, calm down. Don't worry so much about this okay. You will be alright. And if you invite he along and she says yes, maybe somewhere during the tour you'll be able to tell her," Luke says.

"Alright," I sigh while looking down at the bowl of pancake mix.

"Ash?" 

I look up to see Milly standing there, her wet hair pulled up into a messy bun, her fringe in her eyes. She had on a pair of brown boots, some dark blue skinny jeans, a black shirt, a infinity scarf and a light grey cardigan. Her knee brace thing is placed on top of her jeans.

I smile at her as I walk over towards her, pressing a kiss to her forehead as I reach her, "Hey baby girl."

"What's for breakfast?" she asks as I walk back to the counter and she sits down on on of the stools by the counter.

"P-"

I'm quickly cut off my Calum yelling, "Hi Milly!"

I watch her smile a little bit before replying, "Hey Cal. Hey boys.'

"Hi Milly," Luke and Michael say at the same time.

"As I was saying before someone rudely interrupted, we are having pancakes," I say, sending a small glare towards the computer screen.

"Yummy," Milly says, smiling and clapping her hands together.

I let out a little giggle which makes her smile grow bigger, "So Milly, we've been thinking."

"Ohh, that is probably not good," she says quietly, a smirk on her face.

"Oh if only you boys could see her smirk," I say to the boys.

"So what were you thinking about?" Milly asks while dipping her finger in the pancakes mix and putting it in her mouth.

I sen her a mock glare before replying, "How would you like to come on tour with us?"

So, it wasn't what you thought was going to happen buttttttttt, Ashy is getting some feelings for Milly. Ohhhhhhh. What do you think?
