Fix You (A.I)

Chapter 9

Effy's POV

"So Effy, do you know how to longboard?" Ashton asked out of nowhere

"A little, why do you ask?" i asked curious about his sudden question. "Well, the beach is pretty close, and it's a perfect day to go longboarding, why not? there's nothing else to do, unless you have something else to do." "I actually don't , I'd love to go but I don't have any clothes... so I'd have to go for come to my house if it's not too much to ask.." I said a little unsure "Well we have lots of time, Go grab your stuff so we can go get your clothes!", so that's what I did. When I got to the living room, Ashton was already changed and sitting on the couch with two longboards by his side "Ready?" he said, i just nodded and offered to help him with one of the longboards, which I did. We placed them in the trunk and got in the car.

"So, what's your favorite band?" Ashton randomly asked, " I can't choose only one!" "Ok, ok, ok. Then top three." "Ummm... The 1975, Blink182, and... Green Day." he smiled and then said "Blink182 is one of my favourites too! I actually went their concert last year!" "You're so lucky! I didn't get tickets because they sold out." I said frowning a little "I promise that next time they come, I'll take you. Deal?" "Deal!".

We sang along to Blink182 for the whole ride, and I noticed that he had a very beautiful voice but when I was going to tell him that, we arrived to my house. "We're here!" he said, and before I could even respond, he was already opening my door and helping me out. I mumbled a small thanks and he smiled in response. We walked inside my house as he followed behind me, and went to my room.

"I'll change and be out in a sec ok?" I said as I picked out some clothes and threw them on. I chose a pair of high waisted shorts, black converse , and a a black polka dot shirt. I grabbed a small crossbody bag and tossed in the essentials, my phone ,money, mints, cigarettes and a lighter (i know, it's a really bad habit I have) . When I walked out of my room I heard a small giggle coming from downstairs, so I quietly walked to the living room, where Ashton was giggling as he was looking at one of the pictures on the wall.

"What's so funny Ashton?" I said with a playful glare "It's just that.." he giggled uncontrolably again, I walked over to him and saw the picture he was looking at, it was one of me when I was about 6 years old , I was wearing a cinderella dress, my hair was all messy and covered in cake, just like my face. "Really? it's THAT funny?" "yeah it is! you look way too cute in it!" he said laughing some more "Ok, let's go before you find more embarassing pictures of me." he nodded and we walked out the door.

We talked most of the ride to the beach, there were moments where both of us were silent but not like an awkward type of silent, it was more of a comfortable silence. When we finally got there he opened the door for me and we walked over to his trunk to get the longboards.

Ashton's POV

We walked a little and started skating in the sidewalk near the beach, Effy was having a little trouble since there were a few cracks so I decided to help her out a little "Hold my hand, you won't fall that way." she just smiled and reached for my hand. We started going a little bit faster, her hair flowing with the wind "I think I can do it by myself now" she said after a few minutes of holding eachother and let go of my hand and went a little faster when all of a sudden, the longboard came in contact with a crack that was a little too big and she fell off, HARD.

Her small body rolling in the sidewalk when she did. "EFFY! ARE YOU OKAY?!" I basically screamed and ran over to her, since she was a little far away when she fell and when I finally reached her, she was laughing her ass off. "Have you gone mental? you just fell off the skateboard pretty hard and you're laughing?" I said slightly laughing yet concerned,Effy just kept laughing, she looked too cute so being as weird as I am, I took a picture of it. She was on the floor, laughing with her eyes closed and the longboard between her feet. I took the picture really quick and put my phone back in my pocket before she could see it.

"Come on get up" I said as I stretched out my hand for her to grab and pulled her up. When she finally stood up, there was a small streak of blood coming from a cut on the left side of her forehead, she seemed to notice it too when I stared at it for a long time not knowing what to say. She reached her forehead with her hand to touch it and then removed it, staring at the blood on her fingers

"Oh..shit.. I think I should get this cleaned up." she laughed. "I have a first aid kit on my car, let's go." "Why would you have a first aid kit on your car?" she said laughing again, but this time harder, "Those 3 idiots you met yesterday get hurt with anything, believe me. I have to carry one in my car because of them. And Calum has gotten into several fights as you can see." she nodded with one last laugh. We got to the car and I got the first aid kit out and grabbed some alcohol, a cotton ball, and a band aid. I closed the trunk as she got a little closer, trying to grab the stuff to clean herself up.

"No,no. Let me do it" I said as I grabbed the stuff from her hands "Ashton it's okay it'll just take a second" she said trying to take it from my hands but I raised them so she couldn't reach them. Effy started jumping, trying to reach them, since she's way shorter than I am "No,... Let... Me... Do... It!.." she said between jumps, it was really cute.

She got tired and finally gave up "No. I'm doing it before you drain off!" "But...Oh come on it's the smallest cut I've ever gotten!" she said throwing her hands in the air "No Buts! Now, Up you go." I said as I carried her and placed her on the hood of the car, she just rolled her eyes and smiled "This might hurt a little ok?" I told her as I started to dab the cut with the cotton, she flinched at first but eventually got used to it. Finally I placed a band-aid on her forehead and planted a kiss on it "What was that for?" she asked giggling "Kissed it better!", Effy smiled and looked at her feet, blushing a little "All done!" I said patting her knee as I helped her jump off the hood of the car.
