Knocking on the door to Ashtons room I started to regret coming. I thought about turning back but when he opened the door his smile made me stay.

"Hey babe." He said hugging me. He took my hand and showed me into the room. I looked to the other bed, where Calum was looking at me hopefully.

"Shes in the lobby." I laughed. Calum jumped off the bad and sprinted out the door. Ashton shook his head and I just laughed. When he looked to me again all I wanted to do was hug him. Ashton just stepped to me and wrapped his arms around me. I did the same. Once our embrace ended he took me out to the little balcony and we sat. The light of the city illuminating the balcony.

"So how are things?" He asked. I shrugged.

"My dad is still in Australia. Justin is at Julliard. I'm here." I said with a smile. He chuckled. "You?" I asked.

"Good. The tour was great. The fans are amazing. Best experience of my life." He said.

"Tats awesome Ash. I'm so proud of you." I said. I genuinely was.

"Thanks Skylar." He said. I looked over the balcony. He just looked at me.

"Ash, your avoiding something. I knew you were going to ask, so just ask." I said.

"What did he do to you?" Ashton questioned. I sighed.

"Used me, abused me, got me where he wanted to get me then left." I said.

"How?" Ashton said. I could tell he was getting mad.

"Used me to get another girl, Abused me as in hit me, and...and..." I had to tell him. I had to.

"Oh,no, Skylar he didn't," Ashton said with pure shock. Tears flooded. I nodded. Ashton realized quicker than I had the guts to say. You cant just come out and say that your ex raped you. Its not possible. Ashton stood up and pulled me with him. His arms wrapped around me and my tears fell.

"I'm so sorry babe." Ashton said. I nodded and just stood there. Happy to be with him. Embraced by him. I had missed his loving touch, the way he would take a single curl in my hair and twirl it in his fingers as we laid together, the way he would kiss my nose whenever he felt bad for something. Hell, I missed him. He kissed my head and took me inside the hotel room. Calum wasn't back yet and Ashton took me over to the bed and we sat down.

"I just really want to hold you, comfort you like I used to," He said. More like asked. I couldn't speak I just nodded and he pulled me into his lap. His arms wrapped around my torso and he held me tightly. I was safe. If I had died in that moment I would have died happy.

"Nothing like that will ever happen to you again, baby I can assure you." He whispered. I looked up to him and saw the tears in his eyes.

"Ashton don't cry, please?" I asked wiping my own tears on my sleeve.

"I let you down, as a friend, as a person." He said. Tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Ash, no. You couldn't have helped. You have already done the best thing I could ever ask for. You were there for me. You didn't and you don't judge me. I cant thank you enough for that." I said. The look on his face took me back to the day I left. Suddenly being in his arms wasn't enough. I looked from his eyes to his lips and back again. His smile showed I had been caught and then our lips were together. His tongue begged for entrance and  I let him in. Our steamy kiss ended all too soon.

"Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?" He asked.

"No Ash, just do me a favor," I said.

"Anything."

"Take me back." I asked.

"Of course" He said.
