Inseparable

Chapter 27

*Ashlee's POV*

I dialed Colton's number quickly and waited for him to pick up. Please answer. I waited patiently for a few seconds then I heard the voice I was waiting for.

"Hello?"

"Colton?"

"Hey, Ashlee. What's up?"

"I know my answer."

"What?"

"I wanna go on tour with you."

"You do?" I could tell he was smiling on the other end of the line.

"Yeah. Um, I just, I'm having some trouble with Austin right now and I just wanna do something cool this summer. Really I just kinda need to get away from him."

"What happened?"

"It's a long story."

"Want me to come over? We can talk about it if you want."

It was silent for a couple minutes.

"Ash?"

There's my nickname again. Only certain people can call me that. I guess Colton can be an exception.

"Sorry. I kinda zoned out."

"That's okay."

"Umm, yeah I guess you can come over. Everyone else is at school and I need someone to talk to."

"Wait, did you skip?"

"Like I said, long story."

"I'll be over soon."

"Thank you."

"No problem, beautiful."

I hung up and plopped on my bed. Wait, what did he call me? He called me beautiful. This talk may lead to something different.

*Colton's POV*

I told the guys where I was going and they understood and I walked out and drove over to Ashlee's place quickly. I'm so happy she said she wanted to go on tour with me. I've been planning to ask her something, so I'll have more time with her if she says yes. I parked my car when I got there and walked up to the door, knocking and waited until I saw a certain beautiful face open the door.

"Hey. You wanted to talk?"

"Yeah, come on in."

*Ashlee's POV*

Colton and I walked up to my room and sat down.

"So, this is about Austin?" He asked.

"Yeah. I said yes to going on tour because we've been fighting and I just need to get away from all this drama with him for a while."

"I understand."

"So, I skipped the rest of school today because I was going to class, and he stopped me. Then we started talking, but then we got into it and I just walked off and left him."

"Can I ask something?"

"How did this all start in the first place?"

"Well, Austin used to be like a player. Then I was told to help tutor him in geometry or he'd get kicked off the football team. So, I guess he started liking me or whatever, and we dated, then he cheated on me with one of my friends and I found out that my best friend and him dated. And it just went downhill from there."

"Woah."

"I know. Now, since you and I have been talking, he went back to being the jerk that he was. So I just left him."

"This is my fault."

"No, Colton. It's not. He was the one who got the backstage passes and tickets to WinterJam. He knows that I like you, so that's why he did it."

"Wait, you like me?"

"Well, like as a singer, yeah."

"Oh. Okay."

"Wait, were you thinking that I like 'like' you that way?"

"Well, yeah. Because I like you."

"You do?"

"I have ever since we met. I thought you were really beautiful."

I smiled, blushing badly when he said that.

"Colton?"

"Yeah?"

"I-I like you, too."

"Y-you do?"

"Yeah, I have for a while. Even before I was with Austin, but it was just a crush. I guess it grew when I met you."

"Can I ask you something else?"

"Sure."

"Would you be my girlfriend?"

"W-what?"

"I want you to be my girlfriend."

"Colton, I'd love to."

He smiled widely and picked me up spinning me around like the couples do in movies. I can be happy again. I want a good summer. He set me down and smiled at me leaning in as I did to and kissed me softly. I smiled in the kiss thinking one thing: 'Goodbye, Austin'.
