PAYTON'S POV

As we got out of the Uber I felt myself tense up. I didn't want to leave Jackson or any of the boys. But most importantly, I didn't want to leave Ava. She's my world. I know she's not my girlfriend or anything but I really want to ask her. She's my bestie. My partner in crime. I love her with all my heart. She's MY victim.

<<<<>>>>

As soon as all the other boys got on the plane, we started to head to my gate. I'm gonna miss those boys. Chase, Dylan, and mychael are some of my closeat friends in the world. As we continuned walking I could see Avas lip quivering and a tear fall from her eye. I didn't want to leave her. I'm gonna miss her so much.
We finally got to my gate and my heart started pounding out of my chest. I walked up to Jackson, to say goodbai, but also to ask ask a question.
"Bai man." Jackson said, pulling me into a hug.
"Bye." I said, letting a couple tears fall. Jackson has always been my best friend.
"Before I go I have a questions." I said looking up at him, as we pulled away.
"what's up?" he asked smiling.
"would you be mad if i-..." I glanced at Ava for a sec before turning back to
Jackson and looking directly in his eyes.
"I want to ask Ava to be my girlfriend" I blurted out confidently. Jackson's face showed pure excitement and confusion.
"REALLY?" He squealed, jumping up a little. I nodded, biting my bottom lip.
"DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! You guys are so cute together! Omg ahhh! Yasss!" he whispered yelled. I laughed.
"Thankyou Jackson." I said looking down and fidgeting with my fingers.
"Anytime, but just know. If you break her heart man. I will break your face." He said, serious. I nodded.
"I would never hurt her!" I protested. He smirked this time.
"Take care of her for me." I continued, a tear dropping from my eyes. He nodded.
"I will never leave her side." He said, nudging me. I rolled my eyes and gave Jackson one more hug before walking up to Ava. She glanced up at me and shook her head and cried. I noticed this immediately and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a hug. She hugged back and cried into my chest. A couple tears fell from my cheeks, Landing on Avas head. I soon broke the silence.
"I'm s-sorry Ava." I said pulling her closer. She continued crying into my chest.
"P-payton." She cried. I frowned.
"What?" I asked stroking her hair.
"I l-love you." She said. I tensed up at her words. Did she mean it? Did she actually love me? Was now the right chance to ask her? I felt her shake her head a few second later.
"I'm sorry forget I said that." She spoke quickly. I shook my head.
"No I love you Ava with all my heart. You may think of me as just a friend but I want to be more Ava. I love you so much." I said crying, and kissing the top of her head.
"I love you more Payton. With all my heart." She said sniffling. We stood there in eachothers arms for a few minutes before I finally managed the courage to ask her the one question that would change our lives forever.
"Ava... Will you be my girlfriend?"
