"It was an audition?" I whispered. Too shocked to want to say anything.
"Yea, Sam." He answered and smiled.
How could he smile when I left him for something so stupid? I was so rude and ignored him and the guys for 3 months. I didn't even let jake talk to them. I felt so mean and wrong and I wanted to cry. I gave up on a great guy and friend for an assumption I made. I felt a knot in my throat and tears welled in my eyes. I gave up the amazing feeling of having Ash smile at me over a misinterpreted phone call. A tear rolled down my cheek and he reached over and wiped it off.
"I'm so sorry Ashton, I had no idea. I don't know what I was thinking, I should've known you weren't like that. I was acting so childish, I mean, you're too sweet to do that." I paused not knowing what to say next. "Can we still be friends?" I asked as the lump in my throat got smaller.
"Oh my god I was so afraid you were gonna yell at me," he said and we both laughed. "Yes, of course we can be friends, Scarlett." My name sounded sweeter every time he said it. He flashed me that smile again, this time showing his teeth. Still perfect after 3 months.
"Maybe one day we can be more than that?" he asks. I giggled and when I realized he was serious I didn't know how to answer. Of course I wanted to be more than friends but I wasn't sure if I could handle it. He would always be on tour and I would never get to see him. He would get big and famous and he would forget about me. We would only get to see each other in person every few weeks and the rest would be FaceTime or Skype. Of course I would want it to work but it just wouldn't. I smiled at him still not knowing how to answer and he pulled me into a hug.
His warmth wrapped around me like a blanket. I don't know what to do other than look at him. I look up and he's staring down at me playing with my hair. I look at his brown eyes and everything around us seems to fade away. He leans towards me until there's less than an inch of space between us. He let's out a small laugh before closing the space between us. He soft lips felt perfect on mine. As his tongue slipped into my mouth a fire ignited inside me. I put my arms around his neck and he put his on my back. I tangled my hands in his hair and kissed back hard. I couldn't help but smile into the kiss because I had wanted this for so long. I had always wanted to hold him like this and press my lips against his. My stomach erupted with butterflies as he put his other hand on my cheek. He pulled back and smiled at me before kissing me softly one more time. When he pulled back again we both began to laugh.
I got lost in his dimples as he tangled his fingers my hair. "I like you, Sam." he whispered.
"I like you, too, Ashton." I answered. We both giggled at each other and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"You want to meet up with the guys?"
"Sure." He grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together as we walked to his car.

We met the guys at a cafe a couple minutes away. Amber invited me to watch a movie in her backyard and the guys decided to tag along. We had about an hour before we had to meet her so we went back home. Jake and Michael stayed downstairs and watched tv while I was in my room getting ready and Ashton and Luke went into Jake's room. I went into the bath and put my hair up. I turned on the shower and watched the water for a minute before steeping in. The water splashed down onto me in a soothing way. I thought about everything that could've happened if I hadn't shut Ashton out. Where we would be, what we could've done. I pushed the thoughts away and stepped out. I went back into my room and put on a black skater dress and black vans. I walked back to the bathroom to put on some makeup. I started washing my face when I felt a pair of hands on my head. I looked into the mirror and saw Ashton putting his beanie on me. I smiled at him and he wrapped his arms around my chest.
I splashed him with the water and ran. It seemed to catch him off guard but seconds later he was running after me down the hall. I ran into my room and jumped on my couch. He came in after me and ran over to me. He picked me up and put me over his shoulder. I screamed and hit his back trying to get him to put me down but he refused and started spinning. I continued to scream until he threw me down on my bed and laid next to me. "I hate you," I said and laughed.
"No you don't." he said and flashed his dimples. My stomach fluttered as he looked at me. The feeling was back. The feeling I always got when I was with Ashton. I didn't want it to stop but I needed something to call it. Was is it that this boy makes me feel?
After laying in my bed with Ashton for a couple more minutes I went back into the bathroom to finish my makeup, then we walked to Amber's house. I knocked on the door and a few moments later she opened the door.
"Hi Sa-," her eyes widened and she looked liked she was frozen.
"I brought some friends if you don't mind?" I teased. Of course she didn't mind she was obsessed with this band.
"Oh my god..." was all she could say. We all went to her backyard and set up blankets and popcorn. When everyone was all settled in and relaxed Amber brought me into the kitchen.
"Sam! This is a dream oh my god! Thank you so much! How do you even know them? Nevermind that's not important just oh my god thank you this is great I can't thank you enough and can I say Calum is so much hotter in person!" She was practically screaming now as she went on and on about how thankful she was and how much she loved them. I just said your welcome because it wasn't my idea, it was theirs. They decided to come with me. I would've asked Ashton to come along anyway but the rest of them came by choice.
When we went back outside I sat next to Ashton and Amber sat next to Calum. They started talking a bit and giggling to themselves. Ashton put his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. The movie projected on the large screen and everyone silenced.
