*Ashley's p.o.v*

He holds my face and we just look at each other. Forehead on forehead. I can feel his breath. I didn't realize how much I love him until now.

"It will be so hard for me to stay away from you. I don't want to leave, but we have to work this out and it'll worth it. We c-" he starts, but I put my finger on his lips to shut him up.

I think it's the right time to tell him. "Justin, I'm moving away" I say. He leans back and looks at me confused. "Moving away? Where? And why?" he asks.

"To australia because of my dads work." I say looking at him. I can joke around too. Muhaha. "Oh" he says and looks away for a second. "We can still work it out. Trust me" he says looking back at me with hopefull eyes. "Jokes aside. I'm not moving to australia. I'm moving to California" I say and his smile grew wider.

"That's amazing" he says and hugs me. "What a coincidence, right?" I say while smiling. "I don't believe in coincidences. Everything happens for a reason, Ash. Maybe this is the start of our story" he says looking at me and I give him another quick kiss.

Justin lays down on the blanket  and I also lay down right beside him.  He takes the other blanket and puts it over us.

"Still can't believe I didn't remember you. I really don't know how I could forget about you"he says. "It's okay now Justin, really. I mean it's been years and you were so busy. Plus you see so many faces everyday so I can understand, little bit..." I say at the and with an angry voice to make him laugh and I succeed.

He pulls me closer to him and gives me a peck on the cheek. "No one can make me laugh over little things like you do. You are so genuinely nice" he says looking at me. I give him a smile and try to hide my face.

"Aww you're blushing" he says in aw. "You're not making it hard for me to blush. Your fault" I say still smiling like crazy. "So cute" he says.

"Why weren't you  nice in the first place?" I ask him and turn to him, laying on my side. "Ugh, it's hard to explain" "Try" I say.

"I honestly don't know. When I first saw you I thought you were so beautiful and I guess I didn't want to like you in the first place or something like that. I lost my faith in love thanks to my ex and I would never thought I would fall for someone so easily after that, but I did. I am truly so sorry Ashley, I shouldn't acted that way. I said pretty bad things to you I hope you can forgive me" he tells me while looking at me.

"I already did" I say while smiling. "...but you better don't try it again" I add and he cracks a big smile making me also smile. "Won't do Miss" he says.

I think I never smiled this much in such a short amount of time. I will miss him when he'll be away because of his tour.

My phone vibrates and I take my phone out of my pocket.

1 New Massage.

Unknown: Don't get used to it. It'll be over. Sooner than you think

No. No. No. I don't feel safe anymore. I stand up to look  around to see if someone is watching us.

"What's up? Who was it?" Justin asks me curious, also standing up. I show him the text and he takes a look. "What the fuck? Ash do you know who it possibly could be? Did you ever respond?" He asks. "No and no. I really don't know. I never got unknown texts...until we became friends." I say slightly terrified.

Justin thinks for a minute and pulls me in for a hug. "I'll handle this. Don't be scared. You'll be safe with me" he says. "Yeah, you'll be gone by tomorrow" I remind him. "Shit totally forgot about that" he says kind of angry and kind of sad.

"I think I know who it could be. Don't worry, I got this" he says. "Okay"I simply say.

Justin starts to put everything back in the basket and I help him. We take the pillows, blankets and the basket to the car and drive off.

I'm still pretty tense and I guess Justin can feel it too, so he takes my hand. "I'm gonna kill that person for ruining our day" he says. "Nothing can ruin this day. It just ruined the moment" I say smiling. "Gosh, you still try to lighten up the mood even though you feel bad. Proves how amazing you are" he says giving me a light smile.

I turn the radio on. Gotta cheer up a little bit. Uptown Funk comes on. We look at each other and at the same time we start to blast to the song. After that The Hills comes on and we sing that song too. His sound just like an angel.

Just like that one hour went by and we arrived at my home already.

We walk in and I realize that no one is at home. "Where is Maria?" Justin asks me. "I don't know I think she will stay with her family today" I say. "Doesn't she live with you guys?"he asks while we're walking to our big couch. "She does but sometimes she stays at her sons house" I say and sit down.

"What about her husband?" He asks me curious and also sits down. "Uhm... he left her with their baby when she was only 18. She raised her son all by herself" I tell him. "Sounds familiar to me" he says. I give him a light smile and he smiles back.

Obviously, I know what he means. His dad left him and his mother when he was just 10 months old. They had a hard time. His mom, Pattie, worked non-stop. He told me that way back when we were young when his dad showed up out of nowhere. I have a good memory, I know.

"I'm so tired" I tell him and yawn. He lays my head on his lap and starts playing with my hair. "Just sleep. I'll be here. Good night" he says sweetly. "Good night Justin" I say and I slowly fall asleep.

- The next morning-

I wake up to my door ringing. I groan and slowly get up. Wait where is Justin?  I see a note on the table.

I have to pack my stuff I'll come over after I finish to say goodbye. Ly
Ps. You're so cute while sleeping.

Xx J

The door rings again and I walk over to the door. I open it and the sun is almost blinding me.

"Justin, why so early?" I ask him still a little bit sleepy. "Aww I'm so sorry but I have to leave now and I wanted to see you one last time." He says and hugs me tightly.

"I don't want to be away from you. We just got together" I say. "Then come with me" he says with a smile. I think for a bit.

"I can't. First of all dad wouldn't be happy if I traveled for some months with a guy that I just got together with. Second of all I want to spend some time with Giselle since I'm leaving soon." I say making a sad face.

"Okay you're right." he says and gives me a kiss. "But you have to call me every single night okay? Or wait... facetime me. And take care beautiful." he adds. 

"We'll make this work" I say leaning to the door frame and smiling at him. No need to make it harder than it already is.

"Guess we'll see eachother in LA soon?" He asks. "Yeah" I say and we just look at eachother for a moment. He hugs me and I give him a kiss. The car behind him honks.

"See you soon" Justin says. "See ya. Take care and I love you" I say as he starts walking backwards still facing me. "I love you too" he says with a big smile and waves at me. I blow him a kiss and watch him sit in the back and the car drives away.

I walk back inside and close the door.

I already feel the emptiness.
