Helpless ( EDITING )

Chapter 23

Listen to 'Reckless' by You Me At Six when you read xx

The boys came back a few hours later. I figured Ashton read my text because the first thing he did was hug me. I texted him saying that Harry finally accepted us. "Irwin. Grab your shoes and sunglasses I'm taking you somewhere." I smiled sliding on my black raybans and combat boots. He followed me outside. "Where are we going?" he asked catching up to me. "Somewhere special to me, I came here every time my aunt dragged me out here." I said smiling. We were walking, it wasn't very far from here, but I was nervous to take him. Fuck it just go.

"Hang on we need to go in here first." I said grabbing his hand and walking toward the hardware store, he looked confused, which didn't surprise me at all really. We walked in and I smiled at the lady at the counter. Everyone trusts a smiling girl. I looked around and saw the spray paint section, I walked down the isle. "Ash! Come here!" I called as he rounded the corner and came to me. "Pick three colors." I said grabbing my three, dark blue, black, and purple. He chose green orange and a lighter blue. "What do we need spray paint for?" he asked, I just smiled at him and walked to the register.

I paid for the cans and gave him his three, his look was still confused. We went down a couple more roads and the building came into me view. I started running and I smiled, he ran up with me as we approached the abandoned parking place. It was about 7 stories tall. There were caution signs everywhere, and my eyes scanned the surrounding fences for the break. Once I found it I slipped through the gap, Ashton following me. "Why are we here? Aren't we going to get into trouble for this?" he asked. "Nope, trust me, I just have to remember which floor I claimed, I think it was, oh it was the top!" I said running to the huge swirl the cars would drive up to get to the upper levels, it was a long climb, but it was worth it. His face still showed confusion, but he came along with me.

We came across the seventh floor and I searched for the mark I made, my eyes found the E.R.S, my initials painted on the sign. "We're here!" I said running under the bar. "You have a floor here?" he asked setting his paint cans down. "Yeah, when they left it, some people took floors, and I wanted the roof." I said blushing. "And what are we doing?" he asked rolling a can in his hand. "Graffiti." I said simply, my smirk widened and he raised his eyebrows. "Well, it's not all graffiti, most of it is some quotes and a couple of my designs." I said grabbing the black and blue cans and running to an empty wall. He walked over to where the quote I had painted in bright red, and read it aloud, "Music is the foundation to life, without music the world is silence, it shows us how to live because it is life itself, ~Emma Styles." he read, "You wrote that?" he turned to me. "Yeah, music was one of the things I loved, and still love the most." I replied opening the can of blue.

I could hear the sound of air being pushed out of the can beside me as I finished up my drawing, it was something I had just written, "Ashton Irwin, a work of art. Perfection in a human body, he does his part. He's an angel, though he has no wings. It doesn't matter, because love comes before all things." well hm. I like that. I smiled as I snapped the cap on the can and stood back. "Did we both write about each other?" he called over to me, I nodded in response and we switched sides, reading what the other wrote. I approached the space and read,

"Emma Styles, and eternal lover. She won't let you down. She's my darling and I won't let you go. Stay with me, be my skinny love and keep with me until infinity. 11-16-13, you changed my life" tears brimmed my eyes as I read. He turned, he was basically crying too. I ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. He kissed the top of my head. "I love you so much Ash." I said kissing him quickly. "I love you more." he said.

The sun began to set, "Watch the sunset with me?" I asked. "Of course." he replied and walked over to the edge of the building, he began to sit down on the concrete. "Ash, I have chairs, I've been coming here a couple time a year since I was 15." I said grabbing the lawn chairs out of the shadows. He took them thankfully and unfolded them. I placed my head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me. "Well, now you've been to my escape place."I whispered, I felt him smile. We stayed there for a few more hours, laughing and painting.

Do you realize how fun that would be though? I have mid terms in two weeks, yay. Someone please stab me. JUST KIDDING I WANT TO LIVE. Anyways, I feel like this story has really evolved, as I've written, I think I've become a better writer. What do y'all think?

Almost at 600 reads screaming.
