~ Previous Chapter ~

"I wouldn't ever leave the person who makes me truly happy. And I wouldn't dare to leave a person who I make them happy." He smiles. "Never ever would I walk out on you when I know you need me most." He smiles.

I let go of his hands and wrap my arms tightly around his neck. He smells like beer but I didn't care. I finally had someone who wasn't going to leave. And that's all I could want.

~ Present ~

I just enjoy Ashton's hug. He squeezes me tightly and let's go.

"Would you like to go back inside?" He asks.

"No I just want to sit our here for a little." I didn't want to go back in there and be asked if we made out, or something along those lines. "Hey, I heard Luke doesn't like me. I heard him talking to Calum."

"He's paranoid. He thinks your going to hurt me, like emotionally or even physically. That's all, he just cares about me and worries I'll get my heart broken." He explains. I was never going to hurt Ashton like that, I don't see how I could. He's a very emotionally strong person I can tell, more than I ever could be.

"That makes me feel a little better." I joke.

"That's my job, isn't it?" He chuckles. He was very cute in his dark red beanie and glasses. I couldn't ever pull off that look like he could.

"You keep staring at me." He points out.

"Oh sorry, I'm just thinking about stuff."

"Like what? How dreamy I am?" He laughs. He leans up against the rail again, looking out to the small pond.

"Haha, not exactly. More like where I'm going to go." I lie. He was right, but I didn't want to tell him because of the fact that I just met him.

"I think you're lying to me." He says. "You looked away from me, you make eye contact with me a lot."

"Okay fine, honestly I was thinking about how good you pull off the beanie look."

He lightly smiles and pulls it off his head and onto mine.

"You look gorgeous." He fixes my hair and pulls it behind my ear. His eyes were just like they always are, so big and happy. My cheeks start to blush and I could feel them what up with his hand on my cheek.

The sliding glass door opens and Luke comes out, breaking the moment.

Damn it, Luke.

We slowly break apart when Luke shuts the sliding glass door.

"Hey guys, what up?"

"Just talking." Ashton chokes.

"It looks like more than that." He laughs coldly.

"Luke we need to talk." I say. I was tried of him thinking I'm trying to hurt everyone I come in contact with.

"Alone." I finish , then Ashton goes inside.

"Look, I don't know what you think about me and nor do I care, but I'm not trying to hurt Ashton. I couldn't possibly do that. And if you couldn't tell I have my own problems, and I won't make Ashton one of them." I say. My blood started heating and I could feel how mad I was getting just by his presence. I hated getting made over stupid stuff but it's getting ridiculous.

"Yeah, but it's weird he would just pick up a total stranger in the middle of a ghost town park. No one does that. And no one goes to that dumb park in the first place. You look like you've lived on the streets and Ashton felt bad so he took you home. That only reason why you're here you know."
