Promise

➼Chapter 6➼

I woke up in the middle of the night screaming from a nightmare. Ashton grabbed me and tried to calm me down. After a few minutes he managed to stop me from screaming. He stroked my hair and I started to fall back into a sleep

When I woke up in the morning I got up and went to the garden outside. I layed on the grass and looked at the sky. I layed there and just thought about my life. How everything changed in a week. A week ago I was going to school and planning all the senior year event. Now I am laying in my dad's friend garden staring at the sky. This is what my life has turned into. I mean I am happy I met Ashton but I wish I was back home. Living a life without any fear.

I sat up and went back into the house to get breakfast. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and sat down and ate it. When I finished I rinsed my bowl in the sink and went back downstairs. Ashton was still in my bed sleeping and he looked so cute and peaceful that I couldn't help but stare. I sat on the bed and put on the tv. I made sure I put the volume low so I didn't wake up Ashton. I couldn't find anything to watch so I went on Netflix and started to watch Grey's Anatomy. Derek and Meredith were a perfect couple and I want myself to have a life like them in the future.

After two episodes of Grey's, Ashton woke up and pulled me closer to him. He kissed me on the cheek and I placed my head on his shoulder waiting for the next episode to come on. When it did Ashton was very confused by the show since I was on season 10 so I had to explain everything to him. Once he understood what was happening he seemed to like the show. I was surprised because it was a drama and some guys don't like watching them.

We finished two more episodes of the show and I turned the tv off because Ashton wanted to go upstairs and get washed up. I waited for him to go upstairs before I went into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Once I was finished I changed my outfit, throwing on a sweatshirt and leggings.

I went upstairs and Ashton was sitting on the staircase putting on his shoes. When he was done he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the direction of the front door. Before he could open the door I stopped him and asked, "Where are we going."

He replied back and said, "The carnival, it's about an hour away and I want to get dinner before we go."

"But we aren't suppose to leave."

"You just have to take risk in life."

"Okay, let's go."

When I said this he opened the door and we walked to his car.

We were driving for about an hour and off the highway I could see the carnival lights starting to come on because it was getting a little darker. When Ashton took the exit to get off the highway we passed by the carnival to go to this diner a few streets away from it.

We sat down in the booth and I ordered a lemonade. Ashton got a root beer. I made a face when he ordered it and he asked, "What?"

"Nothing I just don't like root beer."

"Oh, that's good to know."

"Yea.", I said smiling at him.

We continued to talk about things we liked and didn't like. I found out Ashton doesn't like apples, hot dogs, and rock music. But what he really likes is pizza,cheese burgers, and rap. This was good to know for future reference.

A few minutes after this conversation. The waitress came over and took our orders. Ashton and I both ordered a cheeseburger with waffle fries.

We talked for about 10 more minutes until our food came. We stopped talking at this points and focused on eating. The food was good but I was full and asked for a box to take the rest of it home. But Ashton finished and his plate was clean except for the leftover ketchup that was there from his fries.

The waitress brought over the bill and Ashton payed. When she took the bill she looked at the both of us and said, "You two are so cute together."

"Thank you.", the both of us said at the same time.

We got up from the booth and got into Ashton's car. He didn't start the car up. I was confused so I just sat there looking at the window.

"Cayla.", I heard Ashton say.

I turned to look at him.

"I just want you to know that I will never let anyone hurt you."

"Okay"

"And no matter what happens I will not let anything ruin our relationship."

"Promise?"

"I promise, you mean so much to me and I know I haven't know you for too long but I just wanted to let you know that. And I believe that we will be together for a long time."

"I do too, you make me really happy.", I said smiling at him.

He put his hand to my face and pulled me in to kiss him.
