Ashton's glare flicks between the beer bottle and the commotion outside before settling on me. He takes a slow step forward, and I unconsciously take two back until I'm flat against the wall behind me. His body is flush against mine. Our lips centim...
Hello loves! I have a few things to talk about before the chapter but if you want, feel free to skip it.
1. I've decided to enter LMN into the Wattys! I did this like 2 years ago and it didn't win but I feel like my writing and this story have greatly improved, so why not try again? Even though I doubt I'll win, but whatever.
2. LMN is almost over. I can see it having about 10 more chapters but it's definitely coming to an end.
3. So I got really happy the other night because I finally found out how to download and add gifs to the chapters. You guys would not believe how happy I was! Anyway, I found these really cute ones of Peyton (especially the first one) and wanted to share them.

"Peyton."
Ashton's soft voice travelled through the bathroom door, soon followed by a gentle knock.
"I'll be out in a minute." As soon as I stopped crying all over Ashton, I rushed to the hallway bathroom and locked myself in. I wasn't quite sure how long I was in here, but it was long enough to worry him.
I was able to settle down after awhile. My voice came out shaky and low because of the amount of crying I've been doing. After splashing some water on my face, the redness vanished but my eyes remained puffy.
"You said that ten minutes ago." Even though we were on opposite sides of the door, I could still hear him sigh tiredly. "Baby, please tell me what's wrong."
There goes that word again. It sent a wave of excitement throughout my body every time he called me it. Looking up in the mirror, I could see a small blush form on my cheeks.
Without another word, I took one last look in the mirror and headed for the door, opening up to see Ashton's calm face.
"You're right, something is wrong. Cramps...I'm having terrible cramps this month and I've been kinda moody. Nothing to worry about." I try to give him my best smile but it was halfhearted and fell off my face quickly.
