A Second Chance - A Peyton and Asher Fanfiction

Chapter 3

Asher POV

*Dream*

Peyton and I were walking home together after school. We decided to walk because mom had an appointment at the doctors that day.

Peyton: Ash, this is so unfair. Everybody is getting their first kiss and I still haven't and I just turned 14 a couple months ago. Even Mindy got hers, MINDY!

Asher: Will you stop complaining? It's no big deal. I haven't had my first kiss either. Just kiss that guy that has a crush on you, what's his name? Oh, yeah, Andrew. You know what scratch that I don't want you kissing anybody.

Peyton: *Laughs* Why not? You're not my mother. Besides that, 'Andrew' guy is bad news. And I heard he kisses every girl he sees.

Asher: You know what, now that I think about it everybody really has been getting their first kiss lately. Its like some weird trend or something.

Peyton: Hey Ash.

Asher: hmm * I faced her*

She suddenly stopped me in the middle of the purple flower field which was her favourite place in the whole world. This is were Peyton and I first meet, in the beginning of the school last year.

She looked deep into my eyes. My heart started racing, why, I don't know. She looked down at her feet all shy and nervous, and I instantly knew what she was thinking.

I knew neither of us would let the other kiss anybody else. Yes, we were young but we wanted to be each other's first kiss before someone else stole that chance.

I love that I always know what Pey is thinking, almost like I can read her mind. 

I put my fingers on her chin and raised her head. I tilted my head and began to lean in...

*Bang! Bang! Bang!* Then I heard this loud noise so rudely INTERRUPING my dream.

Asher's Dad: Hey! Wake up you're gonna be late to school. Peyton's coming to pick you today. Hurry up. I don't want her to give me one of those lectures about waking you up on time. Damn it, that girl cares to much for you.

Asher: Ok, ok. I'm up! Wait, did he just say Peyton. Why is she coming to pick me up. I don't even know her. 

I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. I took a pretty long shower and got dressed in my favourite clothes. I don't know why, but I just had this urge of wanting to look extra good today. I really wish I could remember the last year of my life. Who knows I may have changed a lot during it. Maybe this Peyton girl was a part of it.

I went down stairs and poured myself some Cereal. Then only a few minutes after I heard a car horn.

Asher's Dad: They're here. I packed your lunch, here.

Asher: Uh.. Thanks. What's the occasion?

It's weird, my Dad caring about me. Actually trying be a parent.

Asher's Dad: This is one time thing. So don't get used to it, ok. Now go, don't keep Peyton waiting.

Asher: *Yeah why would I want to keep her waiting, I got the lunch from my dad. It's was a ham sandwich, choc chip muffin, and an apple. Pretty typical, but I'm just glad he thought of me.

I grabbed the handle of my front door and i just froze. I was so nervous; it's going to be so awkward in the car after what happened the last time I saw them in the hospital. What do I say?
