Separate, But Made as One (Ashton Irwin Fanfiction)

Will you?

Brianna's POV

3 WEEKS LATER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been on this tour for 3 weeks, and it's been absolutely incredible. I love seeing the boys improve after every preformance and getting more comfortable around the crowds. The month has gone by so fast and there's only August left, which I 'm sad about, but I get to start up my own tour soon! I never thought I'd make it in the music business. I always thought I would be a teacher. But I guess God has better plans.

Anyways, right now we are in Houston, and we're staying here for two days or so for the boys to take a break. We're staying at The Marriott nearby.

The boys and I were shopping, when a group of girls came up to us.

" Oh my god! Hi Calum!" The first girl said.

" I love you Ashton so much!!!!" squealed the second.

"OH MY GOD ITS LUKE!" Shouted the third. I covered my ears for that one.

They asked the boys for pictures, when the blonde one asked me," Who are you?"

" Oh....-um..." I was caught off guard by her question and I hesitated.

" She's just a friend." Ashton answered for me. Ouch.

She seemed satisfied with her answer and shrugged her shoulders. They had a short conversation with the boys and we said goodbye.

When we got to the hotel, I had my own room. The girls asked me if I needed them to stay with me, but I objected. I know they wanted to be around Harry and Zayn. It's what teenagers do. I changed into comfier clothes and laid on the bed with my head gainst the headboard. I turned on the TV, but I wasn't paying attention to what any of the characters we're saying. I could only think about what Ashton said. Just a friend? That's all? ...... it couldn't be. He told me he liked me the day we had the fight. My eyes started tearing. Why am I crying? I shouldn't be discouraged about it. We're not girlfriend and boyfriend. I should just let it go.

Ashton's POV

When our fan asked Brianna who she was, I could tell she didn't know how to answer. She didn't want to say the wrong thing. In the moment, I answered for her and said she was just friend. I feel bad saying it because I could tell that she was hurt by the word 'friend.' I am so stupid. On our way back to the hotel she stayed quiet and didn't say a word to anyone.

"Hey I'll be back. I'm going to go hang out with Brianna!" I called out to the boys, before I slammed the door closed behind me.

They probably didn't hear a word I said because they're too wrapped up in that video game. Once I was out the door, I continued down the hallway to Brianna's hotel room. It was the last door on the right. I hesitantly knocked on the door, and awaited for her answer. What was I gonna say? Was she really that mad at me? I didn't have any time to think, before the door opened.

" Um..... hi." She spoke quitely.

I could tell she had been crying, by her red eyes and stained cheeks, but I didn't say anything.

" Um.... hi." I said back, putting my hand behind my head awkwardly.

" You can come in."

" Thanks."

I went in, and took a seat on the sofa and she took a seat across from me.

"You can sit closer." I encouraged her.

"If you want." I added. She nodded and sat on the same sofa as me, but at the far end.

Everything was still, but I decided to break the silence.

" Wanna watch a movie?" I suggested.

" Sure."

We ended up going on netflix and watching Batman 'The Dark Night Rises' ( which is by the way an incredible movie) and Crazy Stupid Love. As the movies progressed, the closer and closer we got, until she was sitting right next to me, legs on my lap. A funny part came up and she started laughing really hard, a real laugh. Her nose scrunched and she threw her head back in laughter. God, she's beautiful.

" Will you be my girlfriend?" I randomly asked and she immediately froze.

" What?" She said and paused the movie. She turned to me, confused.

" You heard me," I said, "Will you go out with me?"

" But.... but you-" She tried explaining.

" -No 'buts'.....Will you?" I reassured her.

" Yes........ I will be your girlfriend."

I smiled at her response. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I looked into her gorgeous green eyes. I kissed her nose and she giggled. We spent the rest of the day cuddled on the couch, watching movies.
