Amnesia || Ashton Irwin

Beside You || Chapter 23

Amelia's POV

It was a mistake to let Ashton pick the movie, because now I'm hiding my face in my hands, trying to hide from "Mother". Long story short, Mother is one of the "creatures" in the movie.

We are watching Ouija and it's a lot scarier than it seems, and I wasn't the only one who was scared shitless. There was this older woman who got so scared at one part, her drink went flying across the theatre. I, on the other hand, was shaking in my seat. Ashton's arm was laying on the arm rest, just as it normally was, not shaking, just calm. Another jump scare popped up and I screamed, putting my hand on top of his. After being at a calm part, I held up my hand, showing him how much it was shaking. He chuckled lightly at me, before lacing his fingers into mine, squeezing lightly. A blush creeps up on my cheeks as I start smiling like an idiot. It's a good thing it's dark in the theatre, so he can't see my face. When he held my hand, I felt a lot more calm. Another scary part was playing, so I started leaning into his side, knowing what's going to happen. When it did, I screamed anyway. Ashton then giggled at my cowardliness.

"Don't laugh at me. This is scary." I whispered, slapping his chest.

"You're just adorable when you're scared." he whispered back, causing an even bigger blush on my cheeks. My eyes turn back towards the large screen, just as a little girl with her lips sown shut appeared on the screen, her finger pointing to her right. A scream escaping her throat, as the scene drifts off to where she was pointing, a tall thin figure stood there, her mouth was open wide and a loud growl escaped, making me jump out of my seat. I bury my face and wrap my arms around the first thing I find, which happen to be Ashton. He just chuckled, as I realized I was now in his lap.
I didn't bother watching the rest of the movie. I just kept my face hidden in his chest, his arms around me, pulling me in closer every minute. I felt safe in his arms. Maybe... even safer than when I was in Luke's. Ashton felt me shiver, thinking I was still watching the movie. I then felt a pair of lips touch the top of my head, softly like a feather. I look up in the darkness of the theatre, to see the lighting from the screen projecting onto his face, so you can just see it. I look up into his eyes, they're focused on the movie. I can't help but smile. I can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life. I thought to myself. I didn't notice I was staring until he was looking down at me, a small smile grew on his face. His eyes staring back into mine, as he grabbed my hand, his thumb running over my knuckles. His eyes are still so bright, even when it's almost pitch black. And his nose is just so adorble. The shape of it makes him even cuter. And his lips... oh his plump pink lips. The night I felt them on mine made me feel something so surreal. It was my first time, and Im glad it was him, because I can't think of anyone else who could've.
I look back up at his eyes, staring back into mine. They transfer from mine to my lips and back up again. His other hand travels up to my cheek. My heart is beating a mile a minute as I feel my palms become quite moist. His finger traces my jaw, lifting my chin. Butterflies have taken over my stomach, as his head tilts down. I never thought something so soft and light could be so passionate and make you feel great emotions,
Until I felt his lips on mine.

Luke's POV
*flashback*
"I miss you so much!" A voice came from my laptop. I've been Skyping with Amelia everyday since I left about 2 weeks ago. I've been missing her like crazy, every moment she's been in my head, my heart just sinks.
"I miss you more." I spoke. "You have no idea how much how much I do." I chuckled awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck.
"I think I have an idea." she smiled. We both giggled lightly. "How much longer till you come home? It feels like it's been forever because you're not here to cuddle." she pouted. I chuckled.
"It's only been two weeks!" I spoke.
"Exactly! Two dreadful weeks without my best friend!" she said with a chuckle. We both had a smile on our faces, before hers faded, followed by her eyes falling to her lap. "I don't know how much longer I can last. I can't even sleep anymore knowing you're gone." she mumbled quietly. I can tell she was about to cry, no matter how many pixels her face was.
"Amy, please don't cry!" I said, trying to be sympathetic. I could hear her light sobs on the other end as her head is in her hands. It broke my heart to see her cry. "You will be alright! Ill be back in no time!" she sniffed, looking up. Her eyes are teary and her cheeks are red. She wiped away the tears that were on her face.
"Promise?" she croaked, a little noise coming out.
"I pinky promise." I spoke, holding up my pinky to the screen. She smiled weakly and held up her finger to the camera. We pretended to hook each others fingers, before she pulls away with a sigh.
"I have to go." she groaned, a frown forming on her face. "Its pretty late and I have a bio lab to write in the morning."
"Alright, you get your sleep! Sleep is more important than talking to me." I say, chuckling, but I don't want her to go.
"Just seeing your face right now is more important than anything else in the world." she spoke, a small smile on her face. A blush crept up on my face.
"Im not worth your sleep. I know how much you love it." I spoke with a laugh. She really did love her sleep though. "Get some rest."
"Okay." she whispered. She started moving the laptop, I could hear her with some shuffling on the other side. Before I knew it, there she was again, sideways. She was laying in bed, under her blankets, the side of her head delicately resting on the pillow made of feathers."Before you go, will you sing for me?" she spoke just above a whisper. I look at her facial expression and see she was happy talking to me, but I can tell in her eyes, she felt as lonely as ever.
"Of course." I whispered. I cleared my throat, before I began.
Im gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house. When things go wrong, we can knock it down. My three words have two meanings, but there's one thing on my mind. Its all for you. But it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm. If you're broken, ill mend you, and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now. Im out of touch. Im out of love. Ill pick you up, when you're getting down. And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now. Im out of sight. Im out of mind. Ill do it all for you in time. And out of all these things I've done, I will love you better now.
I sigh as I finish. I look up to see her eyes are half shut, a small grin on her face. "Goodnight, Luke." she whispered. "I love you."
"I love you, too." I whispered back, a smile tugging on the corners of my lips. "Goodnight, Amelia." She waved from the screen, before the call ended. I sigh as I close my laptop, resting my head on the headboard of the bed. 'Oh, Amy.' I thought. 'I wish I was beside you, so you don't have to sleep alone.' I thought to myself more, before grabbing my notebook and a pen, writing down more and more, until the page was completely covered in my hand writing.

"This is a new song I just wrote a couple of days ago," I spoke through the mic as the arena rumbled with screams and cheers. "It does mean a lot, because it's about somebody who means the world to me. I hope you guys like it! Amelia, this is for you." My voice echoed through the arena as the crowd went quiet.
Ashton started banging on his drums, then Michael started playing his guitar. I eventually started playing the strings on mine, before Calum's voice filled the venue.
Within a minute I was all packed up, I've got a ticket to another world. I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go. The silent words are hard to speak when your thoughts are all I see. "Don't ever leave," she said to me. When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky, to the beat of our hearts at the same time. So close but so far away. Can you hear me?
She sleeps alone, my heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was beside you. She lies awake, I'm trying to find the words to say I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.
Another day and I'm somewhere new, I made a promise that I'll come home soon. Bring me back, bring me back to you. When we both wake up underneath the same sun, time stops, I wish that I could rewind. So close but so far away.
She sleeps alone, my heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was beside you. She lies awake, I'm trying to find the words to say I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.
The pieces of us both under every city light and they're shining as we fade into the night.
She sleeps alone, my heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was...
She sleeps alone, my heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was beside you. She lies awake, I'm trying to find the words to say I wish I was, I wish I was beside you. She lies awake. Beside you, I wish I was, I wish I was...
She sleeps alone, my heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was...
*end of flashback*
I shoot up from my bed into the darkness, my heart pounding in my chest. I run my hands over my face, mentally slapping myself. I wish I would've played that song for her after I wrote it. The last words rang through my mind as I kept thinking of Amelia. I wish it wasn't Ashton who was beside her...
I wish I was.
