Fix You (A.I)

Chapter 11

Effy's POV

"Why did you wake up crying last night?"

I thought that he had already forgotten about it, and hoped for it.

the second that he finished the question I slightly gasped still smoking, so I choked on the smoke looking like a complete idiot. "slow down there! you okay?" he told me as he slighly patted my back "yeah... Sorry, what was the question?" I said, thinking that I had heard wrong, he repeated the question a little slower and my palms already sweaty by the time he finished talking, I kept quiet for a few seconds "nothing.. just some stupid nightmare." I said rolling my eyes trying to forget about it and thinking about something to change the subject.

"Well, what was it about? You were pretty scared by it.." Ashton said while looking at his feet and taking another hit from the cigarette, almost finishing it. I sighed, deciding if I should or shouldn't tell him the truth, if I did i'd obviously scare him away because nobody wants to hang out with a girl who still has nightmares about her dad leaving her.

"You'd laugh about it, seriously it's not important at all I'm just very sensitive when it comes to nightmares, really." I said blowing out smoke. "I won't, just tell me already!" Ashton said "Just drop it! It's not that big of a deal Ashton!" I said trying to convince him , "fine, but you'll have to tell me someday!" he said, tossing the cigarette on the floor "someday" I mumbled quietly.

"I should take you home," Ashton said getting up from the bench and holding out his hand for me to hold. "Yeah, my mom probably wants me home by now" we started walking towards the car which wasn't that far away "we should do this more often" Ashton said looking down at me "what?going longboarding, gracefully falling off and cutting your forehead?" I replied while raising an eyebrow "exactly that." he said as he smiled , showing his dimples and rubbing my forehead where the band aid was placed, I laughed and noticed that we were almost in front of his car.

We got inside the car and just talked about random things as we made our way to my house, until we finally got there "Thanks for today, I had a great time. Sorry for my incident though.." i said a little embarassed "don't say sorry about that! I should be the one saying sorry," "why would you have to be sorry?" i asked with a confused laugh "because, I let you go alone and you weren't ready for that!" both of us laughed "Ready? for fuck's sake, it's part of learning!" "well it seems that I'll have to give you another longboarding lesson then," "probably" I said as I tried to open the car door, but it was locked "Give me a second.." Ashton said as he got out of the car and walked up to my door and opened it.

I started walking to my door when I noticed that Ashton was walking by my side following me, which was kind of weird since I thought that he would just speed off and I'd walk in by myself. We got to my door and Ashton stood in front of me " Well Effy, I guess we'll see eachother soon." he said and I hugged him, (I'm not sure why I did that, but it seemed like the right thing to do in that moment) he hugged me back as he rubbed the place where the band-aid was at and unexpectedly kissed my forehead , I smiled at him and opened the door giving him one last wave, and finally walked in closing it behind me.

I went straight to my room, and took a moment to realize what the fuck just happened. I can't really understand why he is being so nice to me, i thought he only wanted to hook up but he hasn't really tried anything on me, well at least for now. I kind of like him in some way even though I know that I shouldn't, it's horrible to have feelings for someone who you know that you can't have them for and is WAY out of your league. I normally don't trust boys at all since all they do is basically use you, but I feel like I might be able to trust Ashton a little more.

Ugh, I'm overthinking everything! I don't even know if he likes me or not and I just overthought everything I hate that this always happens when I meet someone I get too... nervous.. I guess?... and think about everything that might or might not happen or what they might be thinking about me or if they don't think about me at all and I get too worked up about it, I should just stop. I got a text from Mia asking if i was still down for shopping tomorrow, i replied to her text saying yes and she just said that she would be picking me up at 11am. At least I'll have something else to do tomorrow rather than watch Netflix for the whole day.
