Nightmares and Life Changes

Scarlett's POV

"mom? dad?" I call out when I get home from school. no answer. "mooooom? daaad?" still no answer. I walk upstairs to my room to drop off my bookbag. As I'm walking downstairs I hear a gun shot coming from my parents room. I rush to the room to find my mom laying on the bed, pale. Looking on the ground I find my father with a gun in his hand and a bullet wound to the heart.
"NOOO. NO. MOM DAD PLEASE WAKE UP. PLEASE NO." I scream.
"Scarlett! Scarlett wake up! Scarlett" I hear someone yell my name. I open my eyes to find Ashton with tear stained cheeks and cradling me. I'm drenched with sweat. "it was just a dream. it was only a dream please stop shaking" Ashton says squeezing me tighter.
"it wasn't a dream. it was reality." I say
"what do you mean?" Ashton asks with a confused look.
"I mean, it was a dream, but it was about the day I found my parents. my mom had finally died from cancer and when I read the note laying next to my father, it said he couldn't bear to live without my mom and that he was sorry. so he shot himself. right in the heart. and I found them. cold and lifeless" I say to answer his confusion.
"let's get you in the shower" Ashton says lifting me up and walking to the bathroom, setting me on the toilet seat while he got the water at a good temperature. "how often do you have those nightmares, babe?" Ashton continues to ask questions.
"almost every night. I've gotten used to them and so has Sam. he just let's me sleep through them because he knows that if he wakes me up, when I fall back asleep they start over. it's the same dream every night" I manage to get out through my scratchy voice. "what time is it?" I ask Ashton
"uhm around 3 in the morning" he says checkin his iphone.
"I didn't mean to wake you up so early I'm so sorry" I say to Ashton, standing up and taking his arm so he's looking at me.
"it's okay, Scarlett." Ashton says putting his finger under my chin to lift my head, making me look at him. "you're beautiful" Ashton whispers putting his forehead on mine.
"no I'm-" I was cut off by Ashton's lips on mine. his soft lips molding to mine. the kiss was passionate and sweet. but also rough and dominate.
This has been my dream for 2 years and it's finally happening. even if it is happening in a hotel bathroom. My thoughts are running wild and the only thing I can think of is how Ashton pushed me up against the wall to take dominance.
"jump" Ashton mumbles against my
lips as I do just that. jumping and wrapping my legs around Ashton, he carries me to the bed and carefully lays me down without breaking the kiss.
when I rub my crotch against Ashton's I earn a growl from his throat, indicating he doesn't like my reason.
"don't do that" Ashton whispers, leaving kisses down my jawline and neck. I can feel him tugging at the hem of my shirt, wanting to take it off, so I help him.
"ashton" I whisper
"yeah babe?" ashton whispers against my neck
"I love you"
"I love you also" ashton says kissing my mouth. the kiss gets heated and we go back to what we were doing before. I start to take Ashtons shirt off but he does it for me. Seeing his naked torso makes me realize that this is real. he goes down the my neck and starts kissing all the way around my bra line while I start to undo his belt.

"f-fuck s-scarlett" Ashton mumbles against my skin. We're completely naked, just lying under the sheets of the hotel bed.
"what is it?" I say
"you make me so frustrated but I don't want to take advantage of you. you're vulnerable" Ashton says with a hint of guilt in his voice.
"Ashton. im okay. I want this. I want you" I reply pulling Ash's face close to mine so I can kiss him.
"okay. are you ready?" Ashton asks positioning himself. and with that final nod I made, my life changed forever.
