High School Never Ends ◎5sos◎

51: Michael & Ashley

Michael has had the really weird feeling onesie of him ever since he's been going out with Ashley, it's nothing bad or affecting it's just he's happy. He's never went out with a girl before so he's quite new to all of this.

All he did for the last year was get high, meet new people and of course hang out with his group. His family are average, they don't really care what he does as long as he's still alive. They didn't even call to ask of he was okay in rehab or anything. It's always been Ashley ever since he's met her she's always been there for him.

So that's why he's going to ask her to marry him.

He knows he's never done the while relationship thing but he didn't want to experience it with anyone else but her, he considers that lucky. Imagine he said to his kids he married his first ever girlfriend? That's an achievement for Michael if you ask him.

He was nervous, he wanted to ask Ashton what he would think about it.

"What?" He was speechless and Michael lightly laughed.

"You're still in school bro." Ashton reminded him.

"So? We're graduating in six mounts." He shrugged.

"It just seems so...sudden?" He was confused on why Ashton was acting so mature.

"You would marry Meagan in a heart beat." He folded his arms.

"You know I would. But I mean-" Michael cut him off.

"I think I really fancy more than I should." Michael said.

"Do you mean love?" Ashton laughed.

"What's that?" He asked.

"Fucked up, that's what it is." Ashton told him.

Michael dressed in his normal attire, a big jumper with black skinny jeans and black dr martins. With his sweater paws he lightly knocked on Ashley's front door. A few moments kicked in when he felt his stomach making a knot, his breathing was like an uneven ocean.

Her auntie answered it and he felt his heart racing even more.

"Michael! It's lovely to see you." She greets him with a smile.

"Hello, is Ashley home?" He slowly asked feeling the nerves coming through.

"She's in her room, Michael. Come on in." She moved her body to let him past. He looked at the lovely paintings by the hallways as he knew it was Ashley's work. He found the door that said 'Ashley's room :)'. He walked in without knocking as they're both comfortable with each other.

He saw her sitting on her bed scrolling through her phone, she looked up with the biggest smile on her face. "Hey, teddy." She got up and hugged him. He greeted with a small hello.

"What's wrong? You seem so...nervous." She squinted her eyebrows, he lead her to her bed for them to both sit down. He took her hands, she looked down at them feeling confused.

"Ashley, for the many months I've known you they've been great. I've developed an emotion I never bought I would feel other than I would with drugs. You are so special in every way like oh my goodness you make me so happy." He paused taking a deep breath, Ashley smiled with the compliment.

"What I'm trying to say is I don't know if this might be too soon or even mental but I want to do this because I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else." He started to feel emotional. Ashley felt worried.

"Michael?" She felt really concerned.

"-will you marry me Ashley?" He blurted out, her face froze she didn't move her body one bit. Michael regretted saying it, he knew it would be too soon- fuck he's never been in a relationship never mind marrying someone.
