              It was the end of school and I was putting all my books away in my locker when Luke showed up beside me. He smiled at me and gestured for me to come closer so he could whisper something in my ear.

        "I think someone is waiting for you Dakota." He nodded towards the other end of the hall were I saw Ashton waiting for me. A half smile curled his lips when our eyes met. I couldn't help the blush that tinted my cheeks red. I grabbed my bag and walked/jogged down the hallway. As soon as I reached him he took my hand. I almost took my hand away feeling uncomfortable by human touch. I havrn't been this close with anybody since the accident. The night before I had made a pact with myself to let loose and try to be more talkative and fun because recently I have keeped that side of me hidden out of sorrow. Hesitantly I let our fingers entwine as we walk out the schools front door.

        "So where to?" I ask him.

        "The park?"He asks me. I grin at the idea remembering the fun times we had there. We were right across from the park when he scooped me up bridal style ."Come on let's go!" I laughed as he ran across the street with me in his very strong arms.

         "Let me down Ashton!" I laughed.

         "Never!" He shot back. I looked up to him doing my best puppy dog eye impression.

          "Please." I whimpered. His signature smirk was on his face as he leaned in close until our forheads were touching.

          "No." He sat down on the bench behind him and slowly kissed me. He kissed me harder. And I wrapped my arms around his neck. He begged for permission so I gave it to him. I opened my mouth and let him in. I was still in his cradeled in his lap so I sat up wrapping my legs around him. We kissed a bit more feverishly, running our fingers through eachothers hair. He was a pretty damn good kisser. Finally we broke apart breathless.

         "Well that was fun." he smiled. I burst out laughing. I unwrapped my legs and layed my head in his lap. as he played with my hair. I loved when people played with my hair. I smiled closing my eyes as daydreams flooded my mind. All of a sudden the flashbacks came. 'Please no, I have a daughter.' Bang. Dead. I shot bolt upright, eyes wide with alert. A pulled my knees to my chest, covered my ears rocking back and forth and murmuring it was only a dream to myself as the bang echoed my mind. 

        "It was only a dream, it was only a dream it was only a dream." I repeated still rocking back and forth. I shut my eyes as tight as posiible but some tears still escaped. Ashton looked at me with concerned eyes.

       "Dakota?" he asked quietly but I could here him through the bang of the gun and my hands covering my ears. "Dakota." he repeated. He shifted so we were face-to-face and slowly took my hands away from my ears, forcing me to open my eyes. I raised my eyes until mine met his.

      "What happened?"

      "I-I had a flashback,"I paused "of my dad." He took me into a big hug and whispered in my ear.

      "Do you Want to talk about it?" I shook my head. "Well yoiu have nothing  to be scared of 'cause I'm here now." I nodded believing his everyword.

      "Thanks Ash." I whispered,  burying myself deeper into his shirt. A sweet smile creeped onto his face.

      "Ash? I could get used to that." Most girls at this point wouls apologize and be all like,'This is so embarrasing, I'm sorry for crying.' but not me because I trust Ash to keep this between us. I trust him, and trust is an important thing to have.
