Do not judge my story by the chapter you walked in on.

I

pull my phone out and run my hand across the black screen before turning it on, I wanted to get my mind off a few things.

I go to my gallery and look through my pictures from these past days, I seen pictures of the guys and my mom taking funny pictures and the little surprised they did for me. I ended up clicking on a picture of me and Luke.

I run my hand over the picture and remember something he told me, if you expect nothing, you will never be disappointed.

I let out a sigh and turned my phone off, I was getting paranoid by the second and I didn't want to be home or alone anymore. I started thinking about how I only have about two more weeks to live, how crazy to think that day I was born is the day I'm going to die.

I threw the blankets off of me and stood up. I brushed my hair into a high ponytail, and threw my jacket off and slipped on an olive green hoodie, with yellow lettering that says our school name on it.

I put on matching slippers and grab a house key, slipping my phone in my pocket, before running quietly downstairs and out the front door, locking it behind me.

The only place that was close enough was Ashton's, so I run, literally sprint in the darkness to his house. An idea came to mind, was to be cliche and grab some rock's and get his attention from his window.

I bent down and found a semi small rock and threw it up at his window, it made a small clack sound, I got no response so I get a bigger one and throw it, it made a crack sound, but I ignored it.

Right as I was going to throw another one, the window opened and I ended up hitting his chest, not too hard. He let out a few curse words, and then shut his window again.

I looked around impatiently and scared as I waited for him to come outside. Moments later he was standing in front of me, squinting his eyes, taking in my appearance.

"Why are you here, its almost midnight." He yawned out, rubbing his eyes and his chest area where I hit him.

" I was scared, and needed company." I said honestly, while still looking around and rubbing my arms from the cold.

"Why don't you call Luke?" He asked and he went to go back in the house, but I grabbed his arm to stop him from walking away from me.

"Mm." I hummed shaking my head, he seemed to understand and gave me a lazy hug, then backed up.

"Wanna come inside?" He asked yawning again and pointing back to his house. I shook my head and he furrowed his eyebrows at me confused.

"Follow me." I breathe out making a puff of air come out my mouth. He groaned at me and continued rubbing his eyes as I grabbed his wrist, pulling him.

"Where?" He says tiredly, and I just ignore him as I came up with this crazy idea to go inside the woods with a stalker out here. But I heard if you go deep enough inside any woods, you'll find a waterfall.

Ashton kept whining as I kept pulling him along behind me and branches kept hitting him as I dunked down. After what seemed like ages, and almost giving up cause of the darkness, I finally came face to face with a waterfall, making me smile at the beautiful scenery.

There was this big sleeping willow Tree standing tall beside a waterfall, drizzling into a big pond, the stars and moon reflecting off the water, lighting up the entire place, as rose petals fell from the other trees.

"Wow." I heard Ashton say from behind me and he stepped in front of me, looking around in awe.

"Yeah." I whisper out just as in awe, I thought the waterfall thing was a lie, since I found it on the internet. I walk past him and go up to the tree first. I put my hand up to the sappy bark, and peeled some off to where it showed smooth wood.

Ashton handed me a pocket knife and I looked at him questioningly.

"I thought you were a killer." He says putting his hands up in defense, I shake my head with a smile and open it, carving my name into the wood, Jordan Wilson. Ashton took the knife from me and blew on the wood before carving in his own name, underneath mine. Ashton Irwin.

I smiled and wanted to remember this, I pulled my phone out and took a picture of our names, then of the two of us. I turned on flash and took a picture of the waterfall. I slid my phone back inside my pocket and put my hood over my head as I grazed my hand over our names.

I walked over to the pond and bent down, sitting in the dry grass, the moon was a crescent tonight and I stared at its reflection in the pond.

Ashton soon came and plopped down beside me, I looked up and over at him to see he has a big red rose with a split of white going down it in his hand, twisting it.

"It stood out the most to me, it reminded me of you, this is for you." he spoke softly and handed it over to me, I smile and gladly taking it in my own hands, examining it closely, I understand why it would stand out more than the others.

"Thank you." I thank him and smile at the rose to where my eyes squinted.

"Yea." he breathed out and laid back in the grass. I laid back in the grass with him and we both stared up at the twinkling stars in the sky above.

I seen a shooting star pass by and I pointed at it.

"Make a wish." I whisper to him to where he could hear me, I sent my hand back down and silently wished that I was going to be okay after all.

"I'm happy with everything I have." I hear him whisper back.

I blink to myself and smile. I turn over and lay my head on his chest and wrap my arm around his torso for warmth, it was very cold out tonight. But I was glad to get my mind off reality for awhile.

Then I feel him wrap his arm around me, pulling me in a little closer, making me warmer.

"Do you mind if I lay on you?" I say looking up at him.

"Not at all." he answered still looking at the sky, I set my head in a comfortable position and sighed.

I soon find myself drifting asleep.

-Ashtons p.o.v-

I actually did end up wishing for something and that was for her health, maybe there would be a way for her to make it through this just fine.

I looked down at her and played with her or some, I really wish she will make it, for everyone's sake and her own. Honestly I'm growing attached to her, emotionally.

Seeing it was around two in the morning, I unattached herself from me and picked her up, along with the rose I picked from a near by tree. I try and remember the way out and dunk under branches and try too make sure she doesn't get hit by any.

I finally ended up in my back yard and I walked around the front. I carefully opened up the front door and closed it behind me quietly to where I don't wake my parents up.

I hurry and walk into my room, setting her on the bed, before going back and locking my door. I set the rose on the nightstand and scoot her over on the bed. She really wasted my time, but I ended up having fun tonight anyways.

I turn off the lights and lay down beside her, covering the both of us up, her arms going around me. I kiss her forehead lightly.

I sighed and close my eyes, forcing myself to fall asleep.
