Sarah

"Hey sarah" Ashton said, waking me up.

"Yeah?" I ask sitting up and rubbing my eyes.

He laid on his back and looked at me.

"Want to go on a road trip?" He asked.

"Where to?" I asked.

"Do you like roller coasters?" He asked.

"Yes I love them" I replied.

"Then your in for a treat" he said jumping out of bed.

"We leave in 20" he said walking out of the room.

I packed for day or two because I wasn't sure what Ashton had planned.

I went downstairs and he was already down there waiting.

I quickly found a piece of paper and scribbled 'on a road trip with ash, be back later. Love sarah' and left it on the counter.

We got in the car and started our road trip.

"Its so cold in here, you're like I polar bear" I whined. I pulled a blanket out of the back and wrapped myself up in it.

"Sorry babe" he said smiling at me.

"Do you want to play a game?" I asked.

He nodded at me and I pulled a notebook out of my bag.

"Its kind of dumb and pointless but I used to play it with my family" I said.

"It called the licence plate game" I said.

"Its simple you just count how many licence plates you see from each state" I explained.

"Michigan" he said pointing to the car in the lane next to us.

"hey, im from there!" I said as if it weren't obvious.

"Yeah, I know" he smiled at me.

We played for a while just to pass time.

"I don't know that much about you" he said.

I looked over at him, "well we've only known each other for a couple days" I said smiling.

"I want to know everything about you, I want to know what makes you smile and what makes you sad, I want to know the little things like what's your favorite ice cream flavor and how you take your coffee" he said.

I smiled at him, a big smile that I couldn't seem to wipe off my face.

"so tell me everything, I want to know you" he said.

"Okay well, I was born on march 28th 1996 I've lived in Michigan my whole life, um I did basketball until I was 8. I danced until I was 13 and I sing, a lot. so just be aware I will be singing to you." I said.

"When I was in 8th grade I lost my best friend. She committed suicide on mothers day and I sunk into a deep depression after that" I said, I could see Ashton's facial expression fall from his face and turned into a frown.

"I self harmed a lot and I have scars up and down my thighs and arms, but then I met these girls. They saved my life and made me happy again." I said, he smiled at me. One of those no teeth smiles but it was still adorable.

"Then I met Griffin, I thought he was the most amazing thing ever like beyonce or something. He faked the whole relationship, he made me believe he liked me and then he cheated on me, multiple times. He'd cyberbully me everyday for 2 months and eventually I tried to end it all. I attempted suicide on may 3rd. I failed and I got professional help and now I'm all good." I finished. He put his hand on my thigh.

"I'm sorry all that happened to you, an amazing girl like you didn't deserve all of that." He said.

He pulled over and stopped, her rolled up his sleeve and moved the bracelets he had stacked on his arm.

"See these?" He asked, I nodded and he continued.

"I have scars too, you're not the only one. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Its just a different way of letting out negative energy." He said.

"You're still beautiful to me" he said. I tried not to cry, Ashton made me so happy. I kissed him on the cheek and he kept driving.

~~~

We arrived at some amusement park and I didn't know the name at first, I looked around trying to find it and I finally did.

We were at six flags.

I bounced up and down out of pure excitement, six flags is amazing. Theres all these roller coasters and at night they have fire works and the whole park lights up. Its amazing.

He parked and before we got out he pulled his bucket list out.

he checked off some boxes.

he checked off;

-fall for her

-learn her story

-go on a road trip

-go to six flags

and -watch fireworks together.

I smiled at him and hopped out of the car.

We rode as many rides as we could before it got dark.

The lines were long and I got tired fast, but I was with ashton so it didn't matter.

He carried me around on his back from ride to ride because I was too lazy to walk.

The last ride we went on was a Ferris wheel.

He put his arm around me and leaned against him as we went up and up and up.

We got stopped at the top.

"I think this is the part where you kiss me" he smirked at me.

I laughed, "oh shut up" I said as I pressed my lips against his.

We broke our kissing once the ferris wheel started moving again.

As soon as we got off we walked over to the firework show.

I watched the fireworks in pure amazement. They were so elaborate and amazing I couldn't believe it. My favorite were the red ones that made no noise on there way up yet were the loudest ones once they exploded.

After they were over I jumped onto his back and he walked us to the car.

"What now?" I asked.

"Now we go to the hotel room" he said smiling.

"You got us a hotel room?" I said excited.

"Anything for you babe" we winked at me and we drove off.

a/n: I'm aware that six flags might not have a ferris wheel or fireworks but I needed to make it work. anyways I hope you're enjoying the story ily ~s
