The Last Teardrop

Drop Fourteen

Ashton's POV.

“Ash!” she called out my name through the dancing crowd. The music was too loud and her voice was almost a whisper even if she’s already yelling. I quickly look around to see her presence from the crowd, but I can’t still see her.

“Ashton!” she called out again.

“Hey! I’m here!” I leaned up to find her from the crowd and raised my hand so she could able to see where I am. When I leaned up again on my toes, I finally see her walking her way through the crowd towards me. “There you are! I was looking for you. I thought you already left me here.” She cried over the music with her mouth pouted. I like it when she always does that, she’s so cute.

“Oh! c’mon. Why would I leave my princess here around with a sinful crowd?” I told her as I pulled her to my arms and hug her tight. “I won’t let anyone touch my princess, you know that don’t you?” She hugged me back and nodded her head that still buried on my arms. “Because if someone does, he will be surely get punish.” She laughed and pulled away from the hug. She looked into my eyes and smiled. She really has a beautiful face and her smiles stunned me always every time she gave me that.

“You look so amazing-- and really beautiful tonight, especially in that necklace.” I let out the words she always hear from me and she’s seemed always surprised. She held the infinity shaped pendant of the necklace that I gave her on our first official date. I cupped my hand to her face and she giggled.”Thank you.” She replied.

“Come with me.” I said to her in a soft voice.

“Where?” Her face turned into a curious expression.

“To a beautiful place where I guess you would really like at night.”

I lend my hand in front of her asking for her hand while my other hand’s on my back, like a real prince. She rolls her eyes and smiled, then finally placed her hand over mine, like a princess. “Take me anywhere according to your plan, my prince.” She said in a very formal diction.

We got into my car and drove off to the place I want to take her. I want to be alone with her tonight. I want to show her something beautiful in this world. I want to make her feel special and I want to show her how I love her so much.

I held her hand while I drive and I was surprised when I saw tears streaming down her face. “Hey, shhh.” I don’t want to see here like this, it literally broke my heart. I don’t want to see her crying.

“Hey baby, why? What happened?” I asked her but she’s just kept on looking into my eyes and tears still streaming down her face. I shift my eyes on the road and then to her again. “Is something wrong? Tell me.”  I shook her hand. I’m keeping myself calm as possible. I don’t understand.

I shift my head again on the road then to her again. I got confuse, to the girl crying on the passenger seat.

I don’t understand. I quickly pulled away my hand on hers and looked to her again with my face still wondering.

“Who are you?” I asked her sharply. I’m getting confuse. I know her. I know that I know her. My thoughts are forming loads of questions in my head. But as I was looking at her face, she became a stranger to me more every second.

“Hey, who are you? Why are you in my car?” I asked her again harshly, that my voice were almost rising. But she’s still not answering me.

“Speak the fuck up and stop crying! You’re starting to annoy me!” I finally shouted at her while my eyes’ on the road. When I hit the brake, the car didn’t stop. No. I pad it again twice with my foot but the car’s still going.”Fuck!”
