But Loved

Bonus chapter 3

Ashton's POV

"Alright everyone gather around," the wedding director instructs pushing some people together, "it's time for the last pictures."

"Should I photobomb the shit out of this?" Mikey whispers into my ear.

"If you pull your pants down for this I will personally give you fifty bucks," I whisper back straightening my tie.

"Deal," Mikey exclaims making me snort.

He won't do it.

"Alright. Perfect!" The photographer smiles. He gets his camera ready as fast as he can. "Everyone say Doritos!"

Laughs erupt before everyone jokingly says Doritos. I don't see it but Mikey turns around and flashes the camera just in time for the picture. That fucker. Now I have to give him fifty bucks. But I hold in a laugh anyways as he postions himself right again.

"Michael!" The photographer scolds, "one more time please."

Another flash goes off before everyone breaths out and relaxes. That should've been the last photo with me in it. I start walking away to where Bryana is waiting.

"Ashton! Wait!" Carly yells making me holt to a stop.

I turn around hoping I just dropped something. The look on Carly's face says that I didn't. I groan to myself before walking back over to where the pictures are being taken. I'm really happy for Carly and Calum but I just want to eat food. We've been doing this for hours it seems.

"Cal and I want a solo picture with the bridesmaid and best man," she smirks and my breathing stops for a second.

"So You, Calum, Amethyst and I are going to take more photos?" I ask.

"Yes. I also want a picture of you two together if that's okay," Carly smiles sweetly telling me I definitely have to do it no matter what.

"Okay," I give in with a fake smile.

Carly leads me back next to Calum and fixes my tie like I did five seconds ago. I would have appreciated the gesture but she tied it way to tight. I felt like I was going to choke. Well, at least that's what I think it is.

I peek a glance at Amethyst. She looks gorgeous tonight. You would never notice that she had cancer. I really regret not being there for her, but she didn't want me there. She left me.

"Smile!" The photographer exclaims and I wipe my head to the flash.

I hope I didn't just ruin the photo. Another flash goes off making me a bit happier before I remember that Carly what's a photo of Amethyst and me alone. Calum and Carly move out of the way just as I think it. I turn to Amethyst who's just standing there waiting.

"Hey, Am, I'm sorry if this is uncomfortable," I whisper hesitantly snaking my arm around her waist.

"Just don't even talk," she mumbles.

I let myself frown only for a second before pulling her a bit closer for the photo. We both turn to the camera and smile as the flash goes off blinding us for a second. She pulls away instantly after a second flash.

I watch her walk away shamelessly. Maybe I should talk to her. We both deserve it. I know it's been a couple of years but she'll understand. I hope.

> Idk This idea has been stuck in my head for awhile <
