All I want is nothing more

To hear you knocking at my door

'Cause if I could see your face once more

I could die a happy man I'm sure

When you said your last goodbye

I died a little bit inside

I lay in tears in bed all night

Alone without you by my side

But If you loved me

Why'd you leave me?

Take my body

Take my body

All I want is,

And all I need is

To find somebody.

I'll find somebody like you.

Oooohhhh ohhh

So you brought out the best of me,

A part of me I'd never seen.

You took my soul and wiped it clean.

Our love was made for movie screens.

But If you loved me

Why'd you leave me?

Take my bo-

    "Ashley, you need to stop listening to sad music." Connor scolds.

    It's been two days since Jc broke up with me or whatever you would like to call it. I've been a mess. The boys, Connor, Kian, and Ricky, are constantly having to check in on me to make sure I don't pull any moves.

    I've been listening to a lot of sad music recently, which won't help to get me out of this funk. Connor comes in the most. He'll shut off my music and sit here with me, while I cry. I mean Jc just kind of left. I have a reason to be upset.

    "You know I won't no matter how many times you tell me to stop." I tell him.

    Connor takes a seat on my bed.

   Moments later, he is joined by Ricky and Kian.

    "What can we do to help you?" Ricky asks.

    "I just want Jc back, but he obviously doesn't want me." I mumble.

    "You don't know that." Connor tells me, wrapping his arm around me as I sit next to him.

    I lay my head on his shoulder and say, "Yes I do. He didn't want me to come to Texas with him and he broke up with me. He doesn't want me."

    Ashley.." Kian starts.

   "You can't help this situation." I interupt, taking my head off Connor.

     They know they can't do anything. A silence fills the room, but then I start crying.

    "Ashley." Connor blurts, startled.

    "It's just he promised to always be right here and never leave me, but he did and I can't exactly move on. I don't want to, but I'm guessing I have to." I explain in between sobs.

    "What an asshole." Kian mumbles to himself, but I hear it. 

    "We can talk about this." Connor tells me.

    I sigh and look to him with pleading eyes.

    "Kian and I are gonna leave. Bye." Ricky says suddenly.

    Kian gives him a confused glance, but seems to catch onto something quickly.

    "Bye." Kian says and they walk out.

    Connor looks up to me and says, "I'm only now noticing you're in your own room."

    I laugh and nod, "It didn't feel right to continue to sleep in his bed."

    "I'll always be here for you Ashley." Connor says.

    "Aw that's so sweet!" I reply, leaning into hug him.

    "You seem happy." He tells me.

    "I guess I am. I mean maybe Jc wasn't the best thing that I ever had. Maybe there are better people." I say as I stare at the ceiling.

    "Maybe that person is here." Connor mumbles.

    "What?" I ask.

    He just smiles at me.

    Whoa. Wait. What? Does Connor like me? What's going on? I always thought he had a thing for Tyler. What do I do? I ask myself.

    "What's going on?" I ask.

    "Ashley, I know how this feels." He tells me.

    "What? Being left behind by the person you love?" I question.

    "Yeah. Before I left for college my girlfriend of two years broke up with me. She said she couldn't handle the distance." He explains.

    "I guess we have been in similar situations." I agree.

    "Don't you just feel like you need someone?" He asks.

    "I guess." I admit, still extremely confused of what's going on.

    He smiles at me again and I smile back. 

   I find myself staring into his eyes, which are a lovely shade of green.

    "Your eyes are beautiful." I say to break the silence.

    "You are." He replies.

    I stare at him a little bit longer before realizing how good looking he is. His hair is perfectly geled into place, his eyes, his lips.

    Connor begins to lean into my lips.

    Oh shit. What now? I ask myself.

    I decide to go with it, to lean in myself.

    Our lips touch and move in sync.

    When we pull away, all I can say is, "Wow."

    Connor smiles.
