Don't Cry ➳ a.i

[eleven]

On Monday after school, Ashton dropped me off at my house. I went inside, and right when I got settled, the doorbell rang. It was Ashton.

"Dude, I just saw you literally five minutes ago." I laughed at him.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out for a friendly dinner." he said.

"Umm... okay?" I said. I didn't really think much of it because, well, it was Ashton.

We had been friends for about a year now, and in that year, we got to know almost everything about each other.

"Let's go to McDonnalds!" he said excitedly.

"Eww, no. Lets go somewhere else." We ended up deciding to go to Olive Garden, because we both wanted Italian food at the end of the talk.

Ashton got out of the car, and once we started walking up to the door, he stopped me.

"Oh my gosh, I forgot to tell you something!" he said.

"What's up?" I asked.

"I joined a band!" he started jumping up and down.

I laughed at him. "That's cool. What do you do?"

"I drum and do vocals." He smiled a huge smile.

"Cool."

"It's called 5 Seconds of Summer." He said.

"What? Why? That's a dumb name." I said. By now we had gotten to our table, and he was sitting across from me.

"No it's not stupid! I think it's cool!" he said defensively.

"You wouldn't think it was cool if there was only 5 seconds of summer." I laughed.

"Well, that's true, but I think it's a cool name." He said.

"Okay whatever." I laughed.

At the end of dinner, we went back to my apartment in the basement.

"You haven't done anything with this place since I have first been here. " He said, randomly looking around.

"Yeah. And you've always random since I met you. Things haven't changed much." I laughed.

Ashton leaned over and kissed my lips. Once he left them, I raised my eyebrows. "What was that for?"

"I don't know. Just keeping things interesting." He said.

For the rest of the time he was here, he kept talking about random things. When he left, all I could think about was the kiss. Did he have feelings for me? Do I have feelings for him? No, he couldn't have feelings for me. If he had feelings for me, he'd have done something about it earlier in our friendship.

I've always liked Ashton, but as we got to be closer friends, I thought I him as a friend. Nothing else. But when he kissed me, all of those feelings from before came flooding back. I liked him. I really did.
