Titanium (Ashton Irwin Love Story)

tree

I think..... I'm falling for her.....

-------------------------

Wait? What? No way.. I'm not falling for her, am I? I look at her again and see that she blushes. Cute. No, wait, what? Gosh, this is gonna be harder than I thought.
"Ashton?"
"Yeah?"
"May I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why are you always wearing sweaters?" She asks looking up at me.
Should I tell her? I barely know her... And this is something that my mum doesn't know.
"They're comfy." I say lifting my shoulders.
"Ashton, I can see that you're lying."
"I just don't wanna tell you." I sigh.
"It's okay, I get that." She smiles and returns her attention back to the book.
"May I show you something?"
"Ashton, I really wanna finish this project as soon as possible."
"It will only take a few minutes"
"Fine."
"C'mon." I say while I grab her hand and pull her up.
She puts the book on the table and I lead her out the door. We walk for ten minutes until we go into the woods.
"Ashton, you promised it wouldn't take long."
"Maybe I lied."
I hear her sigh. I smirk and walk to a big tree. I climb up and reach for her hand.
"No way." She shakes her head.
"Why not?"
"I'm afraid of heights."
"Please Sierra, I'll promise nothing will happen."
She hesitantly grabs my hand and I pull her up. I sit with my back against the tree and she sits between my legs with her back to me. I love the way she smells. I wrap my hands around her and nuzzle my head in her neck.
"It's beautiful." She whispers while she stares at the view.
You can see almost whole Sidney from up here. I look at the view too and nod my head.
"I always come here if I just wanna be alone."
"So you never brought someone here?"
"Nope, only you."
She looks at me.
"I'm serious! You're the only one I've ever brought here!" I say.
Then her phone rings. She picks up and I hear it's Ashley.
"Hey Ash, what's wrong?" She says.

SIERRAS POV

I pick up the phone and I hear that Ashley starts to ramble.
"Ash, take it easy.. What happened?" I say.
"Oh Sierra it was so romantic...."
"What was romantic?"
"Tom was romantic."
"Are you two together?"
"Yes!!! He asked me this morning. Where are you by the way? You're supposed to be here with me and celebrate this!!"
"Well...." I look at Ashton.
"It's not the best time right now...."
"Sierra!!! We gotta celebrate this!!!!"
"Ashley I can't right now..."
"Where are you? Then I'll come to you."
"I'm with Ashton."
"Oh but why didn't you say so??!! Then I'll leave you two." I just can hear that she's smirking.
"Don't get anything in your freaky head Ashley."
"Whaaat? Me. Never. Have fun Sierra."
"Bye Ash."

I hang up the phone and look at Ashton.
"You heard?" I ask him.
"Everything." He smirks.
"I'm sorry. Ashley ships us a little."
He just laughs softly.

We sit there enjoying each other's silence. I snuggle my head into his chest. Oh gosh, he smells good. I almost drifted off to sleep when he says
"Maybe we should go back. It's getting dark."
"Wow, for how long have we been sitting here?"
"A few hours."
I wait until he's down and then he helps me climbing off the tree.
"Thanks." I say when I'm on the ground again.
"No problem."
"No, I mean for bringing me here. I really enjoyed it." I enjoyed being with you, I think after it.
"Oh, that, yeah, I enjoyed it too." I can see he wanted to say something else but he keeps his mouth shut.
We walk back to his house and just when we're out of the woods I grabs his hand and lace our fingers. He looks at me and I blush. Ugh, why does he have to make me blush so much every time? He smiles and stops walking.
"What?" I ask.
He doesn't say anything but he slowly leans forward. He kisses me slowly. Only for a few seconds and then he let me go. This kiss was different than the other, I don't know how, but it was different. He smiles at me and I return the smile.
"Maybe, you're not as bad as I thought." I whisper to him.
"Maybe, maybe I'm worse." He whispers back and his smile faded.
"What do you mean by that. You don't seem an awful person at all. You actually see nice." I say while I pull back a little.
"I'm sorry." He says softly before letting my hand go and walking away.
"Ashton!" I yell after him but he doesn't reply.
"Ashton! Come back!"
He just keeps walking and leaves me there with no clue what to do.

~The next day~

I'm on school searching for Ashton. Where the hell did he go? I'm walking through a hall when Ashtons Devils walk to me but without Ashton. 'The leader', Madison, walks up front.
"Awh, did Ashton left you already? So sad." She smirks.
"Where is he?" I ask her, ignoring what she said to me.
"I wish I knew."
"Oh c'mon. you're his creepy stalkers."
"What did you say you little slut?" She says.
"Madison, leave her alone." I hear a voice behind her say.
I look over her shoulder and see Ashton standing there. He had big bags under his eyes and he looked very tired.
"Baby!!" Madison says with a high voice while she walks to him and hugs him.
"Baby?" I ask a little insecure.
"Yeah, that's right. Yesterday, he asked me to be his girlfriend." She smirks at me.
Something that feels like pain in my chest comes up. I look at Ashton.
"Sierra...." He begins.
"It's okay." I say, but my voice sounded different and I knew that.
I turn around and walk away. My eyes fill up with tears. How could I be so stupid to think that he had feelings for me. On my way I bump into a guy. I fall on the ground and look up. He has bright colored hair.
"Hey, I'm so sorry, are you alright?" He asks while he helps me stand up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I say while a tears falls down my cheek.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asks with a worried look on his face.
"No." I say while I'm almost really crying.
"C'mon." He says while he softly grabs my hand and leads me out of the now busy halls.
We sit under a tree near the school.
"Do you wanna tell me what happened?" He asks softly.
"I don't even know you." I say wiping of my tears.
"Well. I'm Michael Clifford and I'm a senior here on school. I'm in a band and live here in Sydney. Now it's your turn." He smiles.
"Well. I'm Sierra Conewell and I'm also a senior here. I'm having rich parents and I live here in Sydney."
"So Sierra, do you wanna tell me what happened?" He asks again.
"Nothing, just girl trouble" I say while I see Ashton walking with Madison.
He sees them too and then sighs.
"So me and Ashton needed to do a project together..." I suddenly start talking.
"At first I hated him, because I thought he broke my best friends heart. I found out that she broke his heart instead of him breaking hers. Let's say that some things happened between us that day and I ran away. I tried to avoid him, but that didn't work. Let's say that, again, some things happened and that we skipped school yesterday. After we worked on the project he said he needed to show me something. He brought me to a big tree and we climbed up and sat there for hours. He told me that he never brought someone there, except me. On the way back to his house we kissed, but different that before. Then he just took off! I searched for him this morning and found out that he went to Madison's yesterday and..." I sigh.
Then I realize something.
"Aren't you the Michael Clifford, the one who's playing in the band that Ashton also playing in?"
"Yup."
"So you guys are friends?"
"Yup."
"Oh my gosh, and I'm complaining about him!" I slap myself against my forehead and lay down in the grass.
"I don't mind" he smirks while he begins to draw circles with his finger on my tummy.
I smile at him.
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"For listening to me. And for cheering me up a little."
"No problem. And I cheered you up?"
"Yup. How I don't know, but you did."
He smiles at me and I return his smile. He leans in closer and we kiss. At first I wanted to pull back, but then I see Ashton and Madison again and I pull Michael closer to me. He lays one hand on my waist and I wrap my hands around his neck. Then Michael pulls back and looks at me. He smiles again and I blush a little. Then I see that Ashton's staring at us. Before I know, he walks to us.....
