*Ashley' p.o.v.*

-In California-

It's been 2 days since I came to LA and I'm leaving at 3 am to go back for the funeral of Giselles parents.

It was hard for me to leave Giselle, but she said she needed some alone time. And I made Maria stay with her incase she needs someone.

Now I'm here at our new house, putting the few furnitures we brought here to their places .

"Dad, I think I should go furniture shopping today for my room and the living room, is that okay for you?" I ask him.

"That's a good idea, would be a big help for me" he says.

"Yeeey, I always wanted to do that" I say louder and happier than I intended to. I also hug him.

"I never thought this would make you this happy" he says and chuckles.

"It's the firs time I see you this happy since Giselle told you about that accident" he adds and my smile vanishes.

"No,  don't be sad Ashley. I totally understand that you feel with Giselle, but I don't want you to be sad. And life is just like that, we'll never know when we take our last breath. It's hard, but it's real" he says. I give him a small smile and he smiles back.

"See you later" I say and start walking out the room.

"Wait, Ashley I probably won't be home when you get back home. I have to go to a meeting about work" he says.

"Ugh, already? I understand, you'll come late home. Bye" I say and walk out our new big house.

-In the shop-

I looked at different furnitures, not really knowing what to get. They all are beautiful and I don't know with what 'theme' I should go with. I guess I'll start buying stuff for my room first.

I'm really into decorating the house. Giselle and I thought about moving together about 2 years ago, but I couldn't do it. I didn't want my dad to be left alone. Although now I'm kinda the one who's left alone, since he is always working. But now I can decorate almost everything however I want and experience this at its fullest

I decide to buy a new bed, a big gold mirror, 2 nightstands, a black and white world map for my wall and some other decorations for my room.

"When would it be the best for us to deliver the stuff miss?" the nice girl who works here asks me.

"I'm away for 3 days, so would it be okay in like 4 days?" I ask her.

"Of course it is" she says while smiling politely, then she writes it down.

"Please write your adress here" she says while showing where I should write it and I do so.

"That's it. If there is any problem please call us" she says nicely and hands me a card.

"Thank you so much" I say and give her a big smile.

She is really nice and beautiful, probably my age. So I decide to give her a tip, to make her happy.

I grab my wallet and hand her a 100$ bill. She hestitates to take it.

"Just take it. You were so nice to me and probably work hard, you deserve it" I say and her smile grows even more.

"The world needs more kind people like you" she says.

"Aww thank you so much. Have a nice day" I say and walk out the shop.

I get into my car, start the engine and start triving towards target.
I think I should get some food. It's actually the first time for me to go shopping alone in LA.

On the first day I went with my dad, but we didn't buy much, only a few groceries. So I think it's a good idea to finally fill our fridge.

I get out my car and walk towards the big target. I kinda like target in the USA more than in canada. Don't really know why, but we did never go to target in canada. It'snot that popular there.

I take a shooping cart and walk towards the groceries and start filling the cart.

After that I walk around and stop at the CD section. My eyes already serching for Justins album. I listened to it a lot, but I never got to buy it. It's so good, so why not buy it now.

After I found it I also put that into the cart. I walk backwards to get out from that section and bump into someone. Shit.

"Ouch" I hear from the back and I immediatly turn around while saying "I'm so sorry" for stepping on his feet. I look up to him and directly recognize him.

"Hey" he says and our smiles grow.

"Oh hey Zayn. Nice to see you here" I say.

"I see you are shopping for 3 whole months" he says while looking at my completly full cart and chuckles.

"Hey, I just moved here okay? And maybe I love food too much, but whatever" I say defending my food-lover self.

"You're buying Purpose?" He says while taking Justins album  to examine.

"Always gotta support my boy" I say thinking about how I'm gonna meet him soon.

"Oh so you're together now?" He asks and I nodd my head.

"That's nice. I guess I'll buy it too" he says.

"So what are you doing here?" I ask him.

"Actually my first album came out so I was just checking, is that weird?" He asks while looking at me.

"Haha...noooo not at all" I say sarcastically. I find his album and also put it into the cart and his smile grows.

We walk towards the cashier and talk about this and that. He helps to carry all my stuff to my car and I thank him.

"Let's eat dinner" he says.

"I'm so sorry, but I have to pack. We could go to McDonalds and order from the drive in, how about that?" I ask him while we both get into the car.

"That's fine with me. Where are you going to?" He asks. "Uhm my best friends parents... they died. And the funeral is in 2 days, so I have to go back to canada for 3 days" I tell him while driving McDonalds.

"Oh. That must be hard for her"

"It is" I say while keeping my eyes on the road.

Then an idea popoed into my head and I was kinda excited about it.

"Hey what about you come with me?" I say and look at him for a second. I think he could really see that I was excited about it, because he chuckeled.

"Wouldn't that be weird? I mean I don't know her." He says with his british accent.

"No no no. Look she has no one and would be very glad if you came. Also she really enjoys your music so that would light her up a bit more" I explain.

He still doesn't answer, probably thinking about it.

"Pleeeeaaaaseeeee?" I try to convince him.

"I'm down for it. Gotta light her up a bit" he says and my smile grows.

I hope Giselle will be glad about that.
