Ghost of you.. (Ashton Irwin)

4

 I left the room and went into the bathroom to get a shower. Afterwards I got dressed and brushed my teeth.

I walked into my bedroom and stood in front of the mirror hoping Ashton was still here. After a few minutes I realized he wasn't coming back.

I walked over to my bed and saw a piece of paper with something written on it;

 "Happy Valentine's Day! Still love you! - Ash xx"

I smiled as I read the note. "Wait it's Valentine's Day...?" I asked myself.

"Wow I didn't even realize..." I said.

I looked up and saw Ashton's reflection in the mirror. I walked over and smiled.

"So what are you going to do today?" He asked.

"Nothing most likely.." I said.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yup." I sighed.

"Why don't you hang out with Cal? You and I both know he's probably alone today. He's not that great with talking to girls." He said. I laughed.

"Ok but seriously, he'd probably enjoy your company." He smiled.

"Ok I'll ask him to come over.." I said.

I quickly texted him asking if he would come over and he said he'd be over soon.

I looked up at the mirror again and he was gone. I sighed.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple. As I was eating it I started thinking. Why does Ash want me to hangout with Calum, especially on Valentine's Day. We're just friends so that's kind of weird but oh well.

When I finished my apple I heard the doorbell. I walked over to the door and opened it.

"Hey Calum.." I said.

"Hey Liv, happy Valentine's Day..." he said awkwardly.

"Yeah you too.." I smiled.

*Ashton's POV*

When Olivia went to the kitchen I waited by the window waiting for Calum to get here. I need them to realise their feelings for each other today. I'm not sure if it's for Liv to be happier sooner, or to get the pain out of the way. I'd rather lose her now than later.

I heard the doorbell and I watched them talk for a few seconds then they just stood there awkwardly. This is going to be harder than I thought.

"I'll be right back, I need to go get something." She said walking back to her room. I rushed over to Calum.

"Cal take her to the park." I said and he jumped.

"Jesus Ash you scared me. But why?" He asked.

"Just do it! And talk..." I said.

I walked behind him and saw Olivia walking back out while putting her hair up in a ponytail.

"Hey Olivia. Do you want to, umm, go to the.. park?" He asked.

"Sure." She smiled.

Then they walked through the door. Which was behind me. They walked right through me. I know I'm a fucking ghost but Calum can see me.. he has no excuse that was just rude.

*Calum's POV*

Olivia and I were walking through the park talking about a lot of random things. We have a lot more in common then I thought.

"So what do you look for in a girl?" She asked.

"Well, she'd have to be sweet, smart, funny, a little adventurous, and has to like me for me. What about you? What do you look for in a guy?"

"To be honest what you described is what I like in a guy.." She smiled.

Her smile caused me to smile. I never realized how adorable she is.

"We have a lot in common Cal."

"Yeah we do, but can I tell you something?" I asked.

"Of course!" She smiled.

"Tag you're it!" I said tapping her shoulder and running away.

"Calum!" She whined.

She started running after me so I ran into the woods I was in yesterday. I turned around and didn't see Liv anywhere.

"I guess I lost her." I said trying to catch my breath. Then someone tackled me to the ground.

I rolled over so that I was on top of whoever it was.

"Liv?" I asked as I started to laugh.

"You didn't loose me! I just took a different path!" She giggled.

We both looked down at each other's lips and looked back into each other's eyes. We both started leaning in and before I knew it, I was kissing Olivia.

*Ashton's POV*

I did it, they like each other. But something about this feels wrong. Will she still want me to hold her when she's sad? I know I did the right thing but I wish I was Calum right now.

I'm standing here behind a tree watching my best friend and the girl I love kiss while I sit here wondering.. why I had to die..
