Kiera's Point of View

We entered his house. It looked empty until I saw two boxes of pizza on the counter. I knew at least one of Ashton's friends were here.

"Michael! Calum! Luke!" Ashton calls and Michael and Calum come down. Luke is said to be at the doctors since he isn't feeling well. I was hoping to see Luke. After a long time of not seeing each other I wanted to see him as well. Anyways Michael and Calum looked surprised, happy and yet confused. Michael then whispers into Calum's ear. Calum smiles and looks at Ashton.

"So Kiera, I believe you met the lads before." Ashton says. I haven't talked to them in awhile either.
"Yes I do. Hi Michael," I say hugging him. "I like your red hair." I state giving him a smile. He smiles back, but it's not like Ashton's smile. Well, why am I comparing their smiles? They are both two different people.
"Hello, Kiera!" Calum greets me with open arms as I gave him a slightly longer hug than Michael. He had a nice scent. Not as sweet and delicate as Ashton's. Why am I comparing his scent to Ashton's now?
"Hi Calum." I say after letting go of his hug.

"Well lads, Kiera and I have some brainstorming to do ." I look at Ashton. He looks so happy for me to be here. I was happy as well. However, I had to choose. To trust him again or to not? Do I become friends or stay as acquaintances? Do I talk to him after this project or no? A bunch of questions shuffle through mind until I realize he's been saying my name .

"Are you okay?" Ashton asks I stiffen up.
"Yes I am." Hopefully he doesn't notice the uneasiness in my voice. He leads me to their workspace where they work on songs. I see crumpled paper on the floor indicating a failed idea of a song. I look around and see 4 chairs each decorated as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I took a seat putting my book bag on my lap and getting my pen and notebook out. I waited for Ashton to enter the room again as he left to get a few things from his room. While I was waiting, I decided to look around. I see a few pictures from their tours. Pictures with fans, and pictures with the sites they saw. I then see a picture way back into the shelf. I recognized that picture. It was Ashton and I. I was laughing and I had the biggest idiotic smile in the world. I had a bit of pie on my face as the boys and I decided to pie each other. Ashton was holding my waist and smiling as well. He had pie all over his hair and face. I started to remember that day vividly .

"ASHTON!!" I screamed but not an angrily scream.
"COME AND GET ME!" Ashton yells, I decided to grab a pie and pie his face and some of it went on his hair. He looked effortlessly handsome. His hands wrapped around my waist so gently. I felt so safe, so loved in his arms. I hear all the guys say "Awhhh" in unison. Truly I loved Ashton a lot, our personalities complimented each other. I didn't know how we got along so well. I smiled and laughed as he grabbed my waist and looked at him. I must have gotten lost in his hazel, blue/green eyes. We stared at each other and it felt like we were the only people in the world. He's mine and I'm his. I thought to myself. He's all I ever wanted. All I could ever ask for. He's everything to me. He leaned in and so do I. His lips touch mine so gently, our lips move in sync. He leaned in more making me fall down and he falls on top of me.

"GET A ROOM!" Luke yells from a distance, I hear Ashton's laugh stand out from the rest so peaceful and so beautiful. He gave me this warm feeling everyday. Ashton gets off of me and helped me up.

I smile and that memory I kept. Ashton enters the room. He stared at me and saw the picture I was holding. I forgot that I was holding it. I put it down and a mumbled sorry came out of my mouth. He just gave a faint smile and told me it's okay. He sits down across from me. By his posture, he looks nervous and eager to tell me something.

"Kiera I didn't bring you here just so we can brainstorm," the words fall out of his mouth. What was he going to say? What is he going to do? Do I listen or do I leave? What would I say if he just says 'I love you'? What do I do now?

"I know Kiera that you're feeling uneasy. You changed your whole character after I left," he states and he is right he did change me. I used to be so happy, so talkative and very bubbly. Now I am reserved and quiet. I don't talk as much as I did anymore. If I did talk to someone it's about schoolwork. I would phone Angelica once and a while but she's too busy. I had particularly no one at all. He reminded me all the hurt I went through . That made me sad, yet angry as why would he even talk about it. Yes I do want closure but for him to bring up my character is nonsense. My character change was from my own choosing because I let him get to me .

"Kiera I just wanted to explain why I did breakup with you. It's hard finding the words to do this but I wanted to say that I never stopped—" I didn't want to listen to it anymore. Even if it was rude to leave in the middle of a conversation, I left anyways. I didn't want to hear it. I couldn't get hurt. I left my pen and notebook on the table. It wasn't my favorite pen nor was the notebook filled with important notes. I started to tear up and walked as fast as I could before Ashton could catch up. I hear him saying my name and trying to catch my attention. I saw Calum and Michael pause their game. They checked what was happening.

"Kiera are you okay? What's going on?" I ignored them. I saw Luke pull up in the driveway. He was surprised and shocked to see me. I was slightly crying but wiping my tears away as I go along the path. He didn't stop me or say hi. I looked back and saw Ashton. The devastation in his face when he saw me leaving was heartbreaking. However, it was not as heartbreaking when he left me. He left without saying goodbye. He called and it was done. How could he do such a thing? I started walking to my house. Was it right to do that? I ask myself. Was I stupid to do that? Why would he tell me he still loves me? Man, I'm stupid. He wouldn't love me. It was just a prank.

Ashton's Point of View

I was about to tell her I loved her again in hopes with the same response. I watched her get up and realized I made her leave. I exit out of the room to see that she's already down the stairs. I start yelling out her name but she's ignoring me. The boys check in on what's happening. Once I got down they tell me what they saw. She was crying.

"Her mascara ran down her face but she wiped it away. She looked sad." Michael says
"Very sad," Calum adds in.

Luke walks in the door,
"Why was Kiera just here? Who made her cry?" Luke acted as if he was her big brother .
"I invited her over for our project, I was going to tell her I love her but she left." I state the words burning my tongue as I saw her left. I lost the person I love.
Luke starts yelling at me
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU LOVE HER! SHE IS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. YOU HURT HER AND YOU KNOW THAT!" He started getting very protective of her. All he knew is that we broke up. How did he get her contact information as well if he knows more? Yes I did hurt her but, why is Luke all of a sudden protective of her?
