2 months later, all 4 boys are starting to share an apartment. I was helping Ashton move in all of his stuff today. Right now we were taking the boxes from his room to his car. Harry nor Lauren were very excited about Ashton leaving but he insisted he'd come back for dinner once a week

"Ash can you still come to my football game next week"

"Of course. I wouldn't miss it" Ashton smiled at Harry "ok I'll see you guys later, we have to get going" we drove to the apartment building and brought in his stuff. He didn't have too many things.

I was on my phone, waiting for ash to come downstairs. We were going to watch Harry's football game

"Hi baby" he hopped in the passenger seat. I gave him a kiss before starting the car "how are you?"

"Pretty good, yourself?"

"Fantastic" he smiled. We got to the football field and found Anne. Ashton wasn't himself today, he was much more enthusiastic than usual, in an odd way.

"Ashton" Harry came over after the game and hugged him

"You did so good" ash gave him a high five. We went to get ice cream with them before going back to Ashton's, I was staying at their place tonight

"Hi guys" cal said when we walked in

"Hi cal, how are you?"

"Good, you guys up for a movie night tonight? I think Tegans coming over too"

"Sure"

"I'm going to the washroom I'll be right back" Ashton went off

"He's something else today" i said to Calum

"No shit, I wouldn't be able to say that's Ashton. He wants us guys to go for dinner tomorrow night so maybe he wants to talk about something"

"Let me know if somethings really wrong please"

"You got it"

Tegan came over around 8 and we all gathered in the living room. Ash, Michael and I sat on the couch, Tegan and Luke on the love seat and cal on the chair.

"Okay what are we watching?" Calum asked as he flipped through Netflix

"Step brothers?" Michael offered and we agreed. I started to doze off in the third movie around midnight. I remember feeling Ashton carry me to his room

"Night Tash, I love you" I heard him whisper

Ashton wasn't in bed when I woke up so I got dressed and went out into the kitchen

"Where's ash?" I asked Michael

"Breakfast with his mom. Did he not tell you?"

"No which is why I asked" I sat down at the table across from the kitchen

"Are you hungry?"

"No I'm good"

"There's fruit there if you want anything" I nod. He sat down with me "how've you been?"

"Good" he glares at me "I'm serious"

"Natashia"

"I'm pretty okay then how's that?"

"I'll take it, why?"

"As good as Ashton and I are right now, he's not himself and there's something he isn't telling me, I don't know what though"

"I'll talk to him, we're going for dinner tonight"

"That's what Calum said. I'm going to go now. Enjoy your dinner and tell Ashton to call me when ever you see him"

"Bye Natashia. See you at school tomorrow"

Ashton never called me that night and he didn't answer my texts, I didn't think anything of it though. He wasn't at school Monday or Tuesday but the boys wouldn't tell me anything about it so i went to their place after school on Tuesday. Luke opened the door when I knocked

"Ash in his room?" I asked

"Yeah" he said quietly

"Ok you guys obviously know something I don't"

"Talk to Ashton" he nodded and opens the door all the way, Tegan was on the couch

"Hi Tegan"

"Hey" she answered as I walked by. Her and Luke weren't officially dating but they hung out a lot and went on dates so they kind of were. I knocked in Ashton's bedroom door and opened it slightly

"Ash can we talk?"

"Later?" He was laying in bed on his phone, the room was completely dark

"Babe, is everything okay?"

"I'll pick you up at your house in a few hours, we'll go out and talk then

"Ok, I love you"

"Love you too" I closed the door and went back to my house. I was worried about what Ashton would have to say.
