Chances

Four

I wake up to see a sleeping Ashton. Apparently, in my sleep, I wrapped myself around him. My hand is on his waist. And our legs are still wrapped up in each other. He's sleeping still, but I can't help but still look at him. His hair is messy, face is at rest, and he has a smile resting on his pink lips. I lean forward and kiss the spot in between his eyebrows. I put my forehead on his and whisper, "Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you. You're my end and my beginning, even when I lose I'm winning."

I lay my head back down and close my eyes. I feel Ashton move. I open my eyes and he is moving towards me. He wraps his arms around my body and hugs me. He is still sleeping, and yet, he is still holding me like I'm about to float away.

I put my hand up to his hair and stroke it. His hair is so soft. He knows how much I love to play with hair. Not through it, but just running my hands over it. It's so cute, because even in his sleep, he rubs his head against my hand. I close my eyes to go back to sleep, because I don't want to wake Ash by getting up.

After about a minute or two of trying to sleep, I feel the bed move. My eyes snap open to see a shirtless Ashton sitting on the edge of the bed, stretching. "Morning, babe." I yawn.

"Look who is finally away." He jokes.

"Excuse you, sir. I went back to sleep because your lazy ass was still sleeping." I get up and stretch. I walk into the adjoining bathroom and curse at myself.

"You alright, Liv?" Ash says and walks into the bathroom.

"I need my tooth brush and you know Calum doesn't wake up until seven o'clock at night. Ugh." I hit my hands on the sink.

"Liv, there is a tooth brush in the holder right there. Use it." He laughs and comes into the bathroom. He pulls a red toothbrush out of the drawer and runs it under the faucet. I grab the toothbrush warily and do the same. I put toothpaste on it and bring it to my mouth. "By the way, that's my tooth brush." He says before I put it in my mouth.

"Are you serious?" I say.

"No." He chuckles. I roll my eyes and bump him with my elbow.

"You're such a dork." I smile and start brushing my teeth. Once I finish, I walk out of the room. At the moment, I am on the second floor and I'm looking down on the living room, where everybody else currently is. Louis is singing terribly at the moment, I think it's a One Direction song, but with her tone deaf ass I can't tell. Mickey is laughing at her and cuddling her at the same time.

"Whatchya singing down there?" I say, still standing above her.

"Steal My Girl by One Direction." She smiles up to me.

"Well, you sound like crap!" I laugh.

"How about you sing, huh? You have a pretty great voice for someone who never sings." She tell me.

"I sound worse than you do!" I yell back. All the guys look up and yell 'boo' at the same time. "What? I sound like a dying cat!" I laugh. Ashton comes up behind me and puts his hands on my waist.

"No you don't." He says. He's staying far back, so nobody sees.

"Yes, I do." I whisper.

"Sing for us, Liv! If you sound like crap, prove it!" Mickey yells.

"I'm not going to randomly sing with no music." That's when I regret speaking. Ash moves next to me and starts playing the best to 'Amnesia'. I whisper to him "I hate you." He winks at me.

"I drove  by all the places we used to hang out, getting wasted. I thought about our last kiss, how it felt, the way it tasted. And even  though your friends tell me you're doing fine. Are you somewhere feeling lonely, even though he's right beside you? When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you? Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine?" I stop. They all break out in applause, "Remind me to never be with you guys when a cat is dying." I giggle.
