Miss America or Miss Australia // Ashton Irwin Fanfiction

Chapter 18 - Irwin + Stromberg = Forever

4:45 pm // Grace's POV: 

Telling Ashton that I might be moving back to Shreveport was a big thing for me to do, especially when you're his girlfriend. I arrived back at home, I was trying to find mum when all of a sudden I got a big scare from Brad. That little shit.

"I did scare you you know" He laughed.

"Shut up bitch, I'm not in the mood" I rolled my eyes at him.

I went upstairs and started to get ready to go to Ashton's house. He didn't tell me how many days I was staying, but I guess I could pack my clothes for a week, just in case. I packed my clothes, went to the bathroom to get my bathroom needs, I put them in my bag, I zipped my bag up, I went downstairs to tell mum and dad that I might be staying at Ashton's for a week. She'll probably say that it's fine, not sure about dad though.

I went downstairs to find my parents to say that I'm staying at Ashton's. They were both downstairs getting ready for dinner, 

"Mum, dad" I requested. 

"Sweetheart" They both said in sync. 

"I'm going to stay at Ashton's house for a few days, is that alright with you?" I asked. 

"Sure honey, but what about your schoolwork?" Mum asked. 

"I can do it at Ashton's" I answered. 

"Does everything have to involved around Ashton?" Dad asked.

"Yes, you know that he's my boyfriend" I giggled. 

"Have you kissed yet?" Dad smirked.

"Dadddddd" I groaned. 

"Are you going to school while you are there?" Mum asked. 

"Ashton said no" I shugged my shoulders.

"Well how are we going to call the school?" Dad asked. 

"Just say I'm sick, it's not a big deal" I demanded.

"Fine" They both said said in sync.

"You're the best parents ever, thank you so much!" I jumped excitedly.

I ran upstairs to collect my things from my room. I texted Ashton, I was still jumping while I was typing, leaving for me to type longer than I should. This is what the message said:

"I'm on my way, get keen :D xx"

I locked my phone and put it in my bag. I grabbed my things and gone downstairs. I said goodbye to my parents, gave them a hug and a kiss on the cheek and I was out the door. I wasn't bothered to say goodbye to my brother let alone scaring me just as I got in the door.

I started walking. When I arrived at Ashton's house, I saw him waiting at the front door, smiling. Aww that cutie. His head was on the wall, his arms were crossed and his right leg was in front of the left leg, I knew that he wanted me, I could just feel it. 

"Princess, I missed you" He smirking, wrapping his strong, muscular arms around me. 

"Ashton, I left for an hour and you say that you missed me" I laughed. 

"But I do, you're my happiness, my everything" He did puppy eyes at me, 

"And you're mine" I whispered, wrapping my arms around his neck.

As we started to lean in closer, something scared the shit out of both of us. Harry opened the door. Ashton was about to get pissed at Harry, but I didn't care, I loved it when he was angry.

"Well, come in you loverbirds, mum said dinner's nearly ready" Harry rolled his eyes at us.

I walked into the house, I dropped my stuff next to Ashton's bed, I could sort that stuff out later. I walked in into the kitchen, Lauren ran from the living room and gave me a huge hug. Aww, she's so sweet, she's like my biological sister. I gave Anne-Marie a hug too while she was serving up dinner. She's like my biological mother, well... not that she is my mother anyway. I sat down next to Ashton at the dinner table. Lauren sat next to Harry and Anne-Marie was at the head of the table. We talked about miscellaneous things. How things were going well with Anne-Marie and this guy called Glenn, how Harry was going well with his football training (in other words, soccer in Australia) and how Ashton kept breaking one of the drum kits and the drumsticks.

After dinner, we watched TV for a while. Two And A Half Men was on the TV. I told Ashton that this was my brother's favorite show, not that he needed to know that, but it was some information about my side of the family. When it was finished, Ashton wanted to show me something. I followed him, we were going outside, it's like 12°C at night. I was shivering and shaking. How Ashton can put up with his weather, I'll never know.

"Ok, question, why are in the cold at 8:30 at night?" I asked.

"I wanted to show you this" Ashton said, directing his hand on one of the trees.

"A tree? You're showing me a tree?" I complained.

"I know it's ridiculous, but I want to engrave something on this tree so that we can remember it for the rest of our lives" He confessed.

Ashton got the knife out of his pocket. He started to engrave what was on the tree. I was still confused. After he finished, he stood back, standing to where I was. I looked to what was on the tree. It was amazing.

"Irwin + Stromberg = Forever?" I questioned.

"Yep, when you leave me, I'll remember this night when I engraved this" He whispered.

"Ashton..."

"I'm serious, I never thought life would be this hard, but it is" he sulked.

"Ash, remember at the start of the year you made a motto and we both promised that was going to be our motto?" I remembered.

"Yep" He whispered.

"I'll never forget that motto, because you gave me a reason why I should fall in love with you, you gave me a reason why I should be an Australian and I'll never forget it, but going back to the old me is going to be hard for me" I whispered.

"I know baby, and going back to the old me is going to be difficult as well, I just know" He whispered.
