A couple of years ago I met Ashton, I met him at the best time, it was when I needed someone and he was there. My parents died 3 days after my 18th birthday and I met him at their funeral. My mother had many friends and they all adored her caring personality, little did I know that Ashton was a son to one of them many friends. My parents died while battling cancer, cancer of the lungs,kidney and brain, it was a battle that they were destined to lose.

I'm at my parents funeral-I say at my parents funeral but I have actually walked off from the service and seeked comfort being alone in this cold corridor. I can smell was seems to be rubber which is all the floor looks to be made of. I am leaning against the wall with my head against it and my hands covering my face for the sense of being 'safe'. I can just hear sobbing which I guess is good and I think I should be doing it too but I've never been sulky;I've been a walk it off kinda girl and my parents told me to be strong and that's what I'm going to do. My mouth tastes of bitter strawberries that they forced me to eat while in that weepy room and all I can see is the lights reflecting on the floor before me. It's not exactly the best scenery.

"I'm so sorry for your loss" I hear behind me in this lonely corridor.

I ignore it and carry on trying to daydream this dreadful day away.

"Leave me alone" I think to myself.

"I am Ashton. You don't know me but I know you; I have for a while. Sarah is my mother and my mother was best friends with yours right? Well I saw you one time sat in your mothers car, I was peering out my window when my mother was getting picked up to go somewhere by yours. I was so shocked by your looks that I stared for ages but then jumped to the side when you looked up at my window. I have wondered about you ever since, Turn around."

I timidly turn around;wipe the tears from my cheeks and look up at this beautiful boy. He smiles at me and shows off that award winning grin and I fall in love with him instantly.

"Ashton was it?" I ask.
