Ashton's pov
I get home and my mom is sitting on the couch watching tv.  I try and get passed her without her stopping me.  I couldn't handle her asking me what was wrong.  My heart was shattered.  I've never felt this upset about something and I just want to cry.  "Honey, did you find Emma?" "no and its dark so I decided to come back." "i hope Emma is ok." "she is.  I'm not." I whisper under my breath. I just say "yeah me too" I run upstairs to my room and close the door.  I just wanted to scream and cry, but I knew Emma would probably be home soon and I couldn't be doing that. 

I decide to take a shower and try and cool off, and if I did cry and Emma came home she wouldn't know because I would be in the shower.  I thought that was the best idea.  I get in and feel the hot water on my body.  Thoughts of Emma are flooding my head.  I broke down.  I couldn't even stand anymore.  As I sunk down to the floor tears fled and I felt like I was having a panic attack.  I cant do this.  She cant be with him.  I need her.  What if she acts different towards me now?  What if she doesn't hug me or say I love you or watch movies and cuddle??  What would I do?  All these thoughts were making my heart race with fear.  I sat in the shower for about an hour crying asking myself all these questions.  The panic attack slowly passed, but I was afraid it would come back. 

Emma's pov
After Blake kissed me, we talked for a couple more hours and I decided I needed to get home.  Blake walked me home and when we got to the front door he kissed me again.  It was just like the last time.  Perfect. 

I walk in and I see Ashton's mom sitting on the couch.  "Ashton was looking for you earlier." "oh really?  I never saw him.  When was he looking for me?" "about 3 hours ago.  He wanted to talk to you about something." "hmm is he in his room?" "yeah but he seemed weird when he got home and I decided it'd be best for me not to ask.  So I don't know whats up."  "I'll try and talk to him.  Goodnight Mrs. Walter." "goodnight Emma" she smiled at me and with that I went upstairs.

I walk in to see Ashton laying his bed, shirtless with some black joggers on.  His hair looked a little wet and it was super messy.  He was asleep.  I walked closer.  He looked so peaceful and beautiful.  I don't know if I will ever be over him.  But I have to try, because he doesn't like me and he is with Ali. 

I go into the bathroom and change into one of Ashton's hoodies and some sweatpants.  I put my hair in a messy bun and walk back into the room and turn the lights off.  I climb into the bed next to Ashton and lay down.  I scooted closer to Ashton and he woke up a bit.  He scooted closer to me and got under the covers.  He was laid on his side, as was I, we were facing each other and he put his arm over me and brought me closer.  I could never get tired of this.  I wish he knew how much I really loved him. 

Aston's pov
I felt her get in the bed and scoot next to me.  I couldn't help but smile.  I should've known she wouldn't have changed towards me because of some other guy.  What is wrong with me.  I still felt really upset and panicky because I didn't know what to do.  Do I tell her how I feel or do I keep my mouth shut?  I cant ruin our friendship.  I won't.  So i'll keep my mouth shut.  I put my arm around her just stayed awake for a couple hours enjoying her being with me.

I woke up the next morning and she was gone.  It was Monday and I felt like crap. I didn't want to go to school, with everything that is going on I didn't know if I could survive the day.  Emma with Blake, the whole thing thats happened with me and Ali.  I don't even want to talk to her, I don't know if I will.  I got out of bed and went downstairs to see my mom making breakfast.  "good morning mom.  Do you know where Emma is?"  "Good morning sweetheart!  She left about twenty minutes ago.  She said a friend was taking her." "oh.... Alright." I said, knowing who she was with.  "Oh and she said her parents will be back today, so she went ahead and took her stuff home." "ok, thanks mom." I said as I walked back to my room.  It was time to get ready for school so I threw on so light skinny jeans and a Carhartt navy shirt.  My hair was a mess but I didn't even care.

Emma's pov
Blake texted me right when I woke up telling me he could pick me up if I wanted.  Of course I said yes.  My mom also texted me telling me she would be home today so I went ahead took everything home.  When I went home I called Lizzie to tell her everything that has happened with me and Blake.  She wouldn't be home for another week and I was dying without her.  I got ready for school and headed out the door.  It was super weird having Blake take me to school, because I'm used to Ashton taking me but I like the change a bit.  Get my mind off the boy I cant have.  I walk up to the car to see Blake.  He was wearing black skinny jeans white vans and a yellow nirvana shirt.  His hair was just a bit messy and it looked great.  "heyyy" he beamed. "hi" I laughed and got in the car.  He kissed my cheek and I gave him a hug.  We talked a bit and turned some music on until we got to school.

We got out of the car and started walking towards the doors.  I felt a hand grasp mine and I looked over to see Blake.  I smiled a bit and kept walking.  I couldn't help but wonder what all these people would think.  Me with such a hot guy.  It was almost unimaginable, but it was happening.  We reached my locker and Blake kissed my forehead and let go of my hand.  "i'll see you later." "alright" I smiled.  His locker was on the other side of the school so he had to go before he was late for class.  Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ashton.  I waved at him and he began to walk over.  Might I say he looked freakin gorgeous.  His hair was a complete mess and it was perfect.  How is that even possible.  Ok. Ok. I know what you're thinking, "you have a boyfriend.  Stop thinking about other guys." And I know you are totally right.  But its Ashton.  I'm in love with him.  But I'll get over it eventually.  Just you wait and see.  Coming out of my daze, I start to think that he hates his hair being a mess and would never go out in public like that.  "hey Ash.  You ok?" He just stood there. Not answering me.  Not looking at me. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. "Ashton!" I say a little louder, catching his attention. "what?"he huffed.  I didn't respond.  Did I do something? Is it that time of the month for him? "sorry" I look over to see him shaking his head and looking down. "its fine.  Are you ok?" "yeah, I guess so." He says sounding very unsure of himself.  I just nod, thinking to myself that this is a bit awkward.  The bell rings saving me from whatever is going on. "i'll see you later."i say "yeah see ya."

Ashton's pov
I saw him holding her hand and kissing her , and it just infuriated me.  I shouldn't have been that way towards Emma tho.  She hasn't done anything wrong.  I walk to class to see Ali.  She is talking to some of her friends so I just go to my seat.  I really don't want to talk to her, so I'm going to try and keep my distance today. 

I haven't talked to Ali today and I haven't seem Emma a lot.  I felt really sick and I just wanted to go home.  But instead I go to lunch.  I sit at the normal table and wait for the others to join.  Emma came over first, looking absolutely beautiful. "hi" she beamed a little with a small smile. "hi" I say trying to sound like I'm not dying on the inside.  I haven't seen her this happy in a while. I knew it was because of Blake.  I wanted so badly to be happy for her, but I just couldn't be.  I couldn't be because of how much I loved her.  But I would do my best. "How are you?" I put on a smile, I don't want her to know anything is wrong. "great! Blake drove me to school!  We are going to study for a chem test later!" Oh here we go... "so you really like him?" I ask trying to sound the most excited I can. She looks down and blushes with a smile slowly coming across her face.  "i really do!  He's sweet and funny and tells great stories.  He is very thoughtful and not to mention how hot he is." She laughs. My heart kinda just shattered into a million pieces, but its fine. I'm fine. Totally fine. "thats so good!  I'm really happy for you!" I say genuinely because, no matter how badly I don't want her with him, she is happy and for that reason so am I.
