The Promise

Ash

Just a little fill in: It's been about 3 months since we've runaway to Los Angeles. We've been living good. We live with Dani and Hayes and I share a room. We've got some type of job which is working with Dani or working for Dani? We work at his studio, like we help with getting food to the famous people and all that stuff. Basically kind of like assistants. Hayes finally got his drivers permit so now I feel less worried about him driving. Me? I'm happy. I have all I need. Hayes and the guys, and we're living in Los Angeles. What more could I possibly need? Do I miss my mom? Yeah. But that's not stopping me from being where I want to be. As far as I know, Hayes is perfectly happy with living here.

It's about seven something and Hayes is coming home soon from hanging out with Dani. Once he gets home, Dani's having a movie night with his girlfriend Elizabeth, which is perfect since Hayes wanted to go for a drive during the night. So at least I know thy Dani isn't going to be alone tonight which makes me less worried. Hayes should be coming home in about 20 minutes which gives me enough time to get ready. He said not to dress too fancy or too casual, but relaxing. I wore my black yoga pants, slip on uggs, my grey VS-PINK sweater, and I put my hair up in a messy bun. I put on light makeup which consisted of concealer, mascara, and a tinted raspberry lipgloss. Ten minutes later, Hayes and Dani came in with Elizabeth. We were close. Besides she's the only friend I have in L.A. that's a girl. Well, that lives really close by. "Hey girly." She says. "Hey Liz." I say giving her a hug. "You ready babe?" "Yep, let's go." I say. "We're you two heading?" Liz asks. "I don't really know, Hayes just wants to drive around in the night because it's "romantic"." I smile. "Awe, have fun." "You too, and hey! If you guys are gonna fuck, do it upstairs." I tease. We all laugh and Hayes and I are off to the car.

Hayes

Tonight was the night. I was going to give Ashley, my promise ring. Well, our promise ring. When we're in the car, I'll drive up to the Hollywood sign, or as close as I can get to the Hollywood sign, and we'll get out and sit on the car and stare out at the city, and that's when I'll give it to her. "Any places were going in specific?" "Hollywood sign." I smile. "Yes! Ugh, I've been wanting to go there since we came Hayes!" She does her happy dance. We get there in a short amount of time. I park and we get out. We sit on the car but I pull her close and lay back so that we're looking up at the stars. "This is beautiful Hayes." She says in awe. "You know the bright stars in the sky will never compare to the natural beauty of yours." It may be dark, but the redness of her cheeks were showing. "Remember the first day we met." I laugh. "Yeah, that day was, amazing." "I never thought I would actually be able to get you. To have you. To be able to call you mine. I never thought that I would be able to have the chance to have an amazing and beautiful and talented, unexplainable girl like you. I always doubted myself through our friendship. Wondering if I was always just going to be that second important guy in your life next to the boyfriend you would have. I remember thinking that I would always just be on the side and watch you be happy with another guy. I thought that I was gonna have to spend my entire life seeing you be with other guys who weren't me. I would cry myself to sleep just thinking about what life would be like if I was just your best friend and only your best friend. The day I saw you, I instantly knew that I had to have you...or I'd die." A tear slipped from eye. I sat up with Ashley doing the same. Tears had been flowing out her eyes like a waterfall. I cupped her face as my thumbs wiped away her tears. "Promise me," my voice spoke shakily. "that you'll never ever leave me. Please. Promise me that nothing will ever be able to separate us. Promise me that our love will fight and conquer all things in this world. In times when we need each other most, promise me that we'll always be there for each other. Promise me that it will always be us two, and only us two. Through everything and anything, it will always be us two. I can't loose you Ash. I love you. You're my sanity, my happiness, my bright light that guides me in times of darkness, my only hope that keeps me going, my only hope that things would and will always get better. You're my happiness, and when I see you crying and hurting and closing up, it doesn't just affect you and if hurts me too. You're my other half. I love you so much Ashley Rebecca Wolff." Tears were streaming down my face nonstop. "Hayes, I promise you all of these things. I promise love you and never to leave you. My love for anyone else will never compare to my love that I have for you. My love for you will always be stronger than my love for anyone else in this entire world. I love you so much Hayes Benjamin Grier." She cried. It was time. Time for the ring. I took it out and took her hand. I slipped it on and looked at Ashley. "Hayes it's-" "A promise ring." "It's a tiara. It's beautiful." "Every princess needs a tiara, and every prince needs his crown." I say as I pull out my ring. "See, they match. You're has my H and mine has your A." It's beautiful." She pulls me into her warm embrace. I squeeze her tight and hold onto her as if I was going to loose her. "I love you so much Hayes Benjamin." "I love you so much Ashley Rebecca." I smile into her shoulder.
