"Psssssssssst. Elle. Psssst!"
"What." I groaned not knowing what the noise was.
"Elissa move your ass over." I heard muffled behind me.
"No." I grunted. I turned around to see what he was complaining about when I saw him fly off of the bed. "Shit. Ashton. Shit." I said as I peaked over the edge of the bunk.
"Shit Elissa." He said while rubbing his butt from where he fell. I heard someone moving below us so I hushed Ashton not wanting to wake them up. I heard the bed creak and I saw Cate get out of bed. Ashton tried to stay quite but ended up scaring the shit out of Cate.
"What the fuck Ashton!" I heard Cate scream.
"I'm sorry! I fell out of bed, Elissa takes up the whole bed." He said wincing because of the scowl Cate had on her face. Even in the dark I could see how tired she was.
"Yeah whatever go back to bed. I'm going pee." She mumbled as she shuffled out of the room. Ashton got back into bed and we were quiet for a little when we heard Cate get back into bed and heard her mumble to Michael who was slightly coherent "Those two are a trip, but I feel like they are made for each other." I heard Michael mumble something else but I couldn't put it together."Yeah I guess we are." Ashton whispered into my ear as he kissed my cheek and nudged his head into my neck falling back to sleep.
The next morning I woke up to Ashton spread out across my body with his head on my stomach and him slightly snoring against my skin. I ran my hands through his mess of a head and just let us enjoy the moment. I felt him move against me. He peaked through his curls that covered his eyes. They were slightly open and he looked so cute. He rubbed his face against my stomach lightly trying to get the sleep out of his eyes. He looked back up at me and smiled. His hair parted slightly down the middle. I took my hands and ran them through the front of his hair evening it out. We didn't speak, knowing that we both wanted to savior the moment of not getting up and having to run to a new town. He crawled back up to my level and hovered over me with his elbows on either side of my head. He leaned down to kiss my lips lightly and he smiled against them. He then kissed my nose and lightly dragged his finger down the side of my face. He nudged my cheek with his nose making my head turn to the right. He leaned his head back down to my neck. I waited for him to kiss me when I felt him collapse on me. I let him lay on me while i played with his hair again. We both wanted to remember this moment. With everything that was going on, it felt to be close to Ashton and just enjoy the little moments with him.

"Ashton you need to help me here. I can't do it alone." I said while trying to get Ashton to get to his feet. "Ash, please." I said still crying. I latched my hands under his arms and tried to lift him. He didn't budge. I sat back on the ground with him and let him lean into me. His back pressed into my front. His head laid back into me. I sat there crying while Ashton just sat there.
"I'm so embarrassed," I heard him whisper.
"Hey, Ashton no. You have no right to be. That kid is a piece of shit and he had people gang up on you." I said into his ear.
"It's not that." He said.
"What is it then?" I questioned.
"I can't believe you saw it. I would have been okay with it if you didn't have to watch me get beaten up." He said.
"Ashton, I don't care. I like you. I like you because of all you have done for me.
"Elissa, just leave me here." He whispered so softly i barely heard him.
"W-what." I stammered.
"I don't want you taking care of me. Please just leave me." He said. I sat in front of him and I saw that his face was full of blood and tears.
"No Ashton. I am not leaving you." I said sternly.
"I will not leave you here. Not with the chance of them coming back. And even if they didn't I still wouldn't because that isn't what friends do.'' I said while trying to brush the hair out of the stickiness on his face.
"Elissa, I don't want you involved in all of this. I cant have you involved in all of this. It's just going to get worse now." He whimpered.
"I don't care." I said as I went into kiss him for the first of many.
