It's Only Time (Ashton Irwin Fanfiction based on Dark)

Chapter 12

Ashton decided to take us out for pizza after Harry's football, so we where sitting at a small booth in the corner of the best parlor. After we ordered, I took small sips of my water and listened to Ashton ramble. He was nervous, because he would be gone all night, first with band practice, and then "finding the trouble". Ashton didn't want to leave us alone.

"Brie and I will be fine." Harry reassured him over and over.

"Ashton." I said with a small smile. "It will all be ok."

He smiled back at me and ran a finger through his curls.

"If you say so..." Our food came then and we all moaned into the first bite. This pizza was delicious.

I was just reaching for the last bite when my phone rang. I pulled it out and almost choked on my crust.

seven missed calls from my mom, one coming in right now.

"Um, hello?" I asked tentivaly.

"Brie?? Where are you??? You never came home and.. and... Jordan didnt get hurt.. Whats going on?" She didnt sound mad, just confused.

"I'm out." The hell I would tell het where I was.

"Brie, please come home."

"No."

"Brie.."

"I'm safe, mom." I hung up, not letting her finish. Next, I turned off my cell so my parents couldnt track me down.

"Are you ok? Your face is white.." Ashton looked concerened.

"I'm fine I.. It was my mom." I mumbled. "She misses me."

Ashton paid for the bill and we walked outside, Harry clinging onto my arm. Surprisinly, I wasnt bothered. Ashton wrapped his arm around me, in an awkward hug, as if he wasnt sure what to do.

"Its going to be ok." He squeezed me tight and I felt comfert.

As much as I'd like to tell myself I wadnt falling for him, I was.

Before I could stop myself, I leaned up and kissed him. He was shocked at first, frozen, but he eased up and kissed me back. I pulled away when I remembered I had a young biy next to me. Ashton smiled down at me, his eyes soft. He grabbed my hand and squeezed.

"You're mine."

"I'm yours." I clarified, which made his dimples pop when he beamed.

It hit me suddenly, as soon as I said it. Now that I've completly given into him, he's never going to let me go.. and I dont think I want to leave.

In our party of three, we hopped in Ash's jeep and headed back to the flat. During the drive, I took the time to talk to question Ashton about the things I found in his room.

"Sleeping with Sirens?"

"Fantastic. The song 'Fire' is really beautifully done."

"Lava lamps?"

"They look cool." He giggled.

"Batman bed sheets?"

His face turned serious. "Best hero to ever enter this world, judge me."

I laughed. "It's cute."

"Cute?" Ashton asked. "You think I'm cute?"

"No!" I gasped, then covered up more when I saw his face. "Well, yes, you're cute, but I meant the bed and.."

His sparkling laugh interrupted me. "I'm joking, Brie. Calm down."

Harry laughed in the back and I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up!" I shouted with my own laugh bursting through.

To think I was scared of Ashton, and now I'm here... Growing more and more in love.

"Shit." Ashton whispered and my eyes followed his.

Shit, shit indeed.
