The drummer and me (on hold)

Chapter one: My best friend

'Don't you dare hang up on me'. Ashton says.

'ooh I dare'. I say.

'No you don't'.

'Bye Ashton'. I say.

'NO NO N-

I hang up the phone and throw it next to me on my bed. I laugh about the fact how Ashton never wants to end a call. But if I don't end then we'll be calling for forever.

Ashton and I have been friend for the past 5 years and you could say he's my best friend. We call every day and text at least every hour. I couldn't imagine a life without him.

Ashton and I met each other 5 years ago in school. I remember the day like it was yesterday. It was kind of funny how we met.

*flashback*

We were both rushing to our classroom when I fell over his foot. There I was laying on the ground with all my books around me and my coffee all over my shirt.

'LOOK OUT'. I said.

'I'm so sorry'. Ashton said.

And he helped me with my books. When he saw my shirt he felt even more sorry. I told him not to worry but he wouldn't let it go. So he asked me to come with him after school to grab a new coffee. I agreed and we both walked to our classroom. What we didn't knew was that we needed to be in the same classroom.

After our first school day was over Ashton was waiting for me outside to go and grab a coffee.

'I'm still sorry about your shirt'. He says.

'It's okay. I was lucky to have a second shirt in my locker'. I say and giggle.

'So what's your name'. he asks.

'Ellen but everyone calls me El.' I say.

'It's a beautiful name. My name is Ashton'. He says and he sips on his coffee.

After talking about school and stuff he decided to walk me home. We came to the conclusion that he only lived 5 houses further in the street.

*End of flashback*

So that was how we met. We became friends after a few months. A lot of people we're saying that a girl and boy can't be best friend it always becomes more than just friends. But Ashton and I showed them that they were wrong. Girls and boys CAN be friends.

The past year our friendship has changed a little. Ashton joined a band called 5 seconds of summer. And the past year he became more famous and busier. We used to see each other every day. Not only at school but also in our free time. But because he's in a band now he doesn't always have time to see me. I'm really proud of him and the other band members but I kind of miss the old times.

Ashton, Calum , Luke and Michael are in America right now. They're touring with One Direction which is amazing! But I haven't seen him in a month. What he doesn't know is that I'm going to surprise him. I bought a ticket to America so I can finally see him again.

He never breaks our promise. He always calls me every day. And he gives me a whole story about the day. The time difference sucks though. When I wake up he goes to bed. So the only time I can speak to him is when I just woke up and when he is going to bed soon. One day he fell asleep early and wasn't awake at the time we used to call. He felt so sorry for not calling me that he kept on texting me when he woke up. I was asleep the whole time but the feeling of waking up with at least 10 texts of him is one of the best feelings.

But tomorrow it's my turn to break our promise. Because I'm probably on the plane on my way to America when he tries to call me. But I'm sure he'll forgive me when he knows why I didn't answer.
