Never Let Go

Chapter Five

--BEX'S POV--

"Hey loser" I said as I playfully punched Ashton's arm.

He didn't acknowledge the fact that I had sat down next to him or punched him. I sighed before staring at the horizon in front of me.

"It's a beautiful view" Ashton stated after what seemed like a lifetime of awkward silence.

I nodded my head in agreement. It really was beautiful, the sun was beginning to set. From the hospital's terrace, we had perfect view of the red sky and the big sun.

"I'm sorry" I blurted.

Ashton turned his head and stared at me with a look of disbelief.

"I'm sorry I freaked out on you like that and I'm sorry I blamed you. It's not your fault and you couldn't have done anything to prevent this from happening".

A minute of silence filled the air surprising me

"What?", I asked him confused, "you don't believe me?"

"No...its just I didn't think I'd ever hear you, of all people, to say sorry" he replied giving me a toothy grin, that didn't quite meet his eyes.

I rolled my eyes: "I guess you don't know me as well as you thought" I said winking.

I know what I said wasn't true. Ashton knew me nearly as well as the others. Which was pretty darn good, considering we don't particularly get along so well.

"I'm worried sick about her Bex" Ashton murmured bringing me back to reality.

"Ya me too Ash. Me too"

I felt Ash's strong arm wrap around my shoulders and I leaned my head against his chest. It wasn't often that we had our moments, but I always enjoyed them.

I'd never say this out loud, but I honestly hate fighting with Ash. He's not a bad guy, just really easy to piss off. I felt a drop of water fall onto my face and my first thought was it was about to rain. I looked up to see a tear stained face looking into the distance.

"Don't worry Ash! Lou is a stubborn ass bitch! She'll be up in no time. And if she isn't I guess I'll have to jump to the rescue and hit her" I reassured him.

Ash let out a small giggle and suddenly perked up.

"We should probably go back in. You know, in case they're looking for us"

I groaned. Go back down to those emotionally unstable people? No thank you. And after I ran off? They probably think I'm the unstable one now. Besides, Luke left about half an hour ago, followed by Mikey so it would be really quiet and kind of boring with only Vanessa and Ashton.

"Could we not just stay here a little longer? Please! Vanessa can join us" I begged him.

Ashton thought about it for a few seconds but still made no reply.

"I'll buy pizza?" I stated but it came out more as a question.

The sound of pizza finalised Ashtons decision and he quickly called Vanessa. Maybe I can call Luke and ask him to come back to the hospital to keep me company.
