Dark (The Past Never Changes)

Chapter 38

It's finally Saturday and I'm actually excited to go party. I usually don't get this excited and I know that I can't actually drink, but it's going to be nice getting out of the house for more than an hour or two. Ashton has been arguing with me on this since I told him, but nonetheless, he said he would go, which makes me feel better about going.

"I hope you realize you're not leaving my sight tonight." He says as I walk into the kitchen.

"I hope you realize that I can do whatever I want." I yell. I hear footsteps and soon his energy fills the kitchen. He has his own little atmosphere, I swear.

"So if there's a cute guy and you feel like dancing with him, you're going to?" He questions.

"The only cute guy I will ever want to dance on is you, so I hope you're talking about yourself." I look at him with a smile.

"Oh is that so?" He grabs my hips and pulls me closer to his body. I shiver at his touch and he kisses my neck.

"Okay! Okay! Enough." I pull out of his arms.

"Alright well I have to go back to my place to get some stuff. Then I was gonna go see my mom. Wanna come?" He asks.

"No, I was gonna do some cleaning anyways." I tell him. "Just don't take too long." I smile.

"I will take how ever long I want." He smirks teasingly and pulls my frontside to his.

"Fine." I huff jokingly and push past him.

He grabs my wrist but I pull it away and start running away. His footsteps soon get louder and I head to the back room. Before I can hide he already has me thrown over his shoulder and starts heading down the hall. He throws me on the couch and begins to tickle me.

"Noooo. Ashton.... Stop!!" I scream while laughing.

"Are you mad at me?" He questions.

"What? No!" He looks down. "Wait, you thought that I was serious?" He stops tickling me.

"No..." He says softly and lowly. I burst out into laugher and he just smiles at me in embarrassment.

"Yes!! You did!" I laugh even more.

"Stop laughing at me." He whines. I finally pull myself together and peck his lips.

"Have fun." I tell him and he smiles at me.

"It's never fun with out you." He pecks back.

"I'm sure." I roll my eyes. He gives me one last kiss before getting up and leaving. I sigh and lay on the couch for a little bit.

I never thought that I would be this happy with someone. Like I still don't feel like I care for much, but he definitely brings out a part of me I never knew I had, even before I stopped caring. I didn't know it was possible for someone to make you smile so much and laugh at the stupidest things, but he does that, and I love it. I feel like I can trust him now too, considering he's basically told me everything, and when I go to tell him, I can never find the words. It almost makes me want to show him my journal, but a bigger part of me won't let him.

I get up and walk back to the kitchen to finish what I was doing, which was clean. I wipe down all the counters and do the dishes, then I sweep and I'm done. I move to the living room and dust all the things that need it and then sweep. I don't feel like cleaning anymore, since I've been doing it for an hour so I decide that my cleaning adventure is over.

It wasn't until now that I realize I'm alone. If Bree and Harry were here Bree would've been down already to make sure I was okay and didn't need any help. I turn on the tv to make me feel better and walk to the kitchen to grab some lunch. I don't really find anything that will taste absolutely amazing, so I stick to a sandwich.
