Ethan's P.O.V
I'm laying in Ashley's bed, surveying her room. It's super organized and I doubt there is a speck of dust anywhere. Ashley has just excused herself to the bathroom to change into some shorts and a tank top.

I can't believe that girl is mine. That gorgeous, kind, funny, wickedly smart, and amazing girl is mine. After she said yes to me, we went upstairs to cuddle. Ashley said she just wanted to lay down with me for the rest of the day. She's such a cutie.

I know she's probably dying and that scares the shit out of me, but not being with her is worse. I know we've only known each other for two weeks, but I can't fathom her being alone for the next two and a half weeks. I want her to feel the way I do around her. When I'm with her I feel so alive.

As I'm surveying Ashley's room, I notice nothing is out of place except a piece of paper on the floor by her desk. I climb out of the bed and walk over to her desk, bending down to pick up the paper. When I stand up and look at it, I see it's a list. It reads:

The list goes on for another 50 things that aren't that bad, so I'm guessing Ashley wrong them from most to least scary. Some made me laugh like the needle one that says she's scared when she's sober. Others were sad and personal and made me want to hug Ashely and never let go.

"What do you have there?" Ashley's voice breaks me from my thoughts and I turn to see her smiling at me while sitting on the bed. I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't even hear her come back into her room.

"Oh nothing just 100 Things to do That Scare Me by Ashley Greene, the legend herself." I say sending a smile back to her.

"You know, it's impolite to read people's personal things you creep." She replies laughing and comes over to me. My hazel eyes lock with her sea blue ones as she wraps her arms around my neck. I smirk and place my free hand on her hip, pulling her close. I let my hand with the list dangle at my side. Ashley blushes at the contact of our bodies and then stands on her tiptoes before leaning in.

She kisses me slowly, moving her lips expertly with mine. Her hands find their way into my hair and tug gently. I groan against my will, she knows my weakness now. I slide my hand under the hem of her tank top and rub the smooth skin of her waist. Ashley kisses my jawline and makes her way down my neck hesitantly. She sucks lightly on the sensitive skin in the crook of my neck, while I pull her even closer to encourage the contact to continue.

I tilt my head to the side to give Ashley more access to my neck as she glides her hands down my chest. She then grazes her teeth over the skin on my neck and sends shivers to every part of my body. I feel her hand brush mine and suddenly Ashley's sitting on the bed laughing.

"You tease." I say with a smirk. Then, I look over and see the list in her hands. "Oh you're sneaky Greene." I laugh and join her on the bed.

Ashely's eyes skim the list with a slight look of sadness. "It's crazy that I only made this two weeks ago. It sucks that I won't be able to do even half of these things. I can't have kids or get married, so I might as well cross those off already. I might as well throw this whole stupid list in the trash. The rest of my life is going to probably be spent in the hospital hooked up to monitors and IVs. My life is basically over, all two and a half months of it." Ashley chokes out, as if she's trying to hold back tears and slams the list in her bed in anger.

I reach over and push a strand of hair that has fallen in front of Ashley's face behind her ear and place a kiss on her forehead. Then, I take her hands into mine with a smile. "Let's go." I say and help her off the bed.

When we reach the stairs, she laughs at my sudden urge to leave. "Where are we going Ethan?" She looks at me with a big smile plastered on her beautiful face.

I start down the stairs and say "We are gonna complete half that list. Get your shoes and meet me in the car or you're a loser."




A/N: Yay another update!! Okay so I decided to only write half of the list because if I did the whole thing this book would be way too long and I could only come up with 50 things. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please vote and comment you thoughts. I will probably update for a third time today cuz I'm in the mood to write. Love you guys!
