Ashton's Point of View

I walked with her, she looked surprised.

"Hey," I say hoping to get a response she walked forward still. Her short hair moves perfectly with the way she walks. She walked straight making sure to look at classes so she won't miss hers. Time felt like it slowed down when I looked at her.

"H-h-hi," she stutters as she locks her eyes with mine. She gave me a warm feeling in my stomach a feeling so great. A feeling that I loved so much. The feeling only she could give me.

"So, meet me after school?" I ask as she is about to enter her class.
"Sure," she says and leaves. I feel a wave of excitement. I want to fix things with her so badly. I missed her. I only loved her. She is the light of my world.

When I am with her everything around us seems brighter and more colorful. For these pasts months my world seemed dull, a life without color, empty. However just looking at her, made my day better and brighter. Just seeing her doing what she loves makes me feel better. Isn't that what love is? Where you see your significant other no matter if you are together or not, whatever they do makes you happy. To me, that's what love is.

The day went by very quick. Quicker than I expected. I headed to my car waiting for Kiera. I saw her white, shiny converses. I wonder how she keeps them so clean. She wore a subtle yellow sweater, not too bright and not too dull. She paired her sweater with jeans and had her hair partially curled. For a girl who is reserved and quiet. She dresses absolutely well.

"Hey," she says looking at me while the wind blows at her hair delicately. She's smiling. For the first time in months, we're talking again.
"Hey, since we're partners you want to brainstorm for a while?" I asked, hoping it didn't sound creepy. She looks at me and gives a giggle.
"Of course. Why are you so nervous?" She says, I do question myself.
"I don't know." I state smiling and giving a faint laugh. I had my hands in my pocket and I just stared at her. She looked at me as well but she seemed shy. I saw a faint smile forming. She looked so beautiful. She said my name twice but I just kept staring at her. Then I remembered that I had to unlock the door. She laughed. It was a pleasant laugh. It was contagious so I laughed right along with hers. She looked at my car before sitting in the passengers seat.

"I guess I'm twinning with you car." She says and I realized her sweater matched my yellow hummer. I laughed. Man, she is so beautiful. She sat in the seat as I walked around getting to the drivers spot. She puts her seat belt on and so do I.

"Where do you want to go?" I ask,
I was nervous , what if she wouldn't talk about it ? What if she's only being nice to me because we had to be nice to each other? She responds. Her voice is so gentle, it's truly the voice of an angel.

"Uhm, anywhere as long as there is food. You know how I am always hungry." She giggles again. I decided to take her to my place. Hopefully Luke, Calum and Michael don't make a huge deal out of it. It was a ten minute ride. She was silent and just looking outside of the car. I tried to keep my eyes on he road at all times. However at some points I get distracted by her. I haven't talked to her in months. Was she comfortable with me talking to her?  I parked my car on our driveway. She seems to remember our place. It's been 7 months and I can't believe she still remembers. I missed her so much. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and just hold her like that for an eternity.

Kiera's Point of View

I saw Ashton leaning on his car waiting for me. It was chilly and I didn't know how he could survive in a muscle tee. Hopefully I don't make a fool out of myself.  I was tensed a bit when he talked to me in the hallway. I didn't look at him until the end of our conversation. Why did he want to talk to me all of a sudden? Just because we are partners it doesn't mean that we can be friends again. I had to stop loving him as he stopped loving me. I didn't want to trust him with my feelings a lot as he could repeat the past. I got to his car and he was silent.

"Hey," I say
"Since we're partners would you like to brainstorm for a while?" He asks. He sounds and looks nervous by his posture and tone.
"Sure, why are you so nervous?" I couldn't help but let out a giggle as he smiled as well.
"I don't know." He says smiling. His smile is bright and amazing. The light hits his face perfectly. It enlightens his tan skin and light, golden brown hair.  He stood there just staring at me. As much as I wanted to say something about us I decided not to.

"Ashton?" I say twice wanting to get in the car. I wanted him to stop looking at me as I might fall in love with him again.
"Ashton?" I say again and he then unlocks the car. He pulled his hands out of his front pockets.

"I guess I'm twinning with your car." I laughed, he laughed as well. Oh my, his laugh. Oh I can't love him. I just can't. Things happen for a reason. I can't love him, not again at least. Nor did I want to be friends with him, after this assignment I'm not talking to him again. Just think of it. What if I get attached and get hurt again? What if he is just doing this for closure as well?

He asked me where I wanted to go. I told him anywhere as long as there is food. I honestly love food. Who doesn't find the pleasure on eating ? I knew where we were going by the road he took. We were going to his place he shared with his mates. I was nervous and I stayed quiet just looking out into nature. I didn't realize we were here until he stopped the engine. I recognized this place. It was different yet familiar. Even if it has been seven months, I feel at home here. 'Stop' I say to myself.

"What was that?" Ashton says looking concerned.
"Oh nothing," I say.

I couldn't love him I kept repeating in my mind I couldn't. I just wanted closure. That's all I did this for. Closure.
