CHAPTER FOUR:

| ashton’s pov |

We walked in the middle of the empty road, a shortcut to her house. The road was a little shadowy, but as long as we were together, we would be fine.

Looking over at her, I found myself grinning. I was still hung over the thought that I was so lucky. We were together, and that was as unreal as it can get.

She was everything I could ask for, honestly.

“I love this,” she stated. I could feel her sincerity, as my hand intertwined with hers. 

I laughed, kissing her cheek. “Love what?”

“You,” she answered, placing her free hand on my back, so we were hugging. 

My lips parted to say something, but I decided not to, it would just ruin the moment we were having. And this moment was important to me.

Every second of the day, I couldn’t help but let my mind drift to what would happen to me, if she was finally gone. If she wasn’t beside me anymore.

My heart would ache, but I wouldn’t do anything to stop her from leaving. It was her dream. Who was I to get in the way of what she wanted?

I was just some drummer boy who wants a simple life.

Whereas she had big dreams. And I would never stop her from achieving that.

As long as she was happy, I would be happy, too.

Or at least, I’d try to be.
