Inseparable

Chapter 23

*Flashback*

"Happy birthday, Ashlee."

"Thanks, Austin."

"Listen, I'm sorry about the bet and everything that happened. I didn't mean any of it, I swear. I love you."

"Austin, I-"

"I'm sorry for bringing it up, but I had to. I did all this so maybe you'd forgive me."

"Austin, I- I don't know what to say."

"Anything.."

"Umm..."

*Present Time*

*Ashlee's POV*

"Umm... I don't know, Austin."

"Ok. But maybe you'll change your mind after your present."

"What is it?"

"You'll get it tonight."

"Fine."

I smiled and sat down and he had a picnic set up and everything with my favorite food and some balloons tied to the tree then we went for a little swim in the lake. I hate to admit it, but it was better than my surprise party.

*Austin's POV*

I had the best time with Ashlee today for her birthday. It was just like we used to be. I just wish she'd forgive me. Maybe she will after tonight. I know she goes to this concert every year called WinterJam, and her favorite singer, Colton Dixon will be there. So, I made some arrangements and got us VIP for her to meet him. (A/N: If you don't know what WinterJam is or who Colton Dixon is, you can look it up. Colton is amazing and really nice in person.) I really hope she forgives me.

After her little party, we dried and cleaned everything up and I drove her home.

"I had fun today." she said.

"I did, too. Be ready by six and I'll pick you up."

"Ok. See ya. Thanks for the party for two. It was great."

"I tried. But you're welcome. Bye."

"Bye."

She smiled and walked into her house. I drove off smiling. I can't wait for tonight.

*Ashlee's POV*

So Austin said he had his surprise somewhere and we had to drive to get it apparently. I wonder what it is. Since it was still early, I laid on the couch watching tv until I got a message on my phone from Twitter. I guess Colton tweeted something. I love him. I watched him on American Idol and voted for him until he got kicked off, which was a bummer. I opened the message to look at the tweet.

@coltondixon:

Can't wait for WinterJam tonight! Are you ready to rock, Miami?!

What? He's coming to WinterJam tonight? I totally forgot about that! I go every year. I have to go. I need to call Austin. I dialed his number and he picked up quickly.

"Ashlee?"

"Austin, can you possibly give me my present tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"I forgot about WinterJam and you know I love Colton Dixon and he's gonna be there and I have to go."

*Austin's POV*

Dang it, she's gonna figure out my present. What do I tell her? Come on Austin, think.

"I can't give you your present tomorrow. It has to be tonight."
