I woke up and checked the time on my phone, which was becoming a habit of mine. It read 2:13. I groaned as I got up to get a drink, as all the earlier tears had dehydrated me. As I crept down the hall I saw the light from Ashtons room glowing lightly as it leaked out of the crack at the bottom of the door. I got my drink and slithered back down the hall where Ashtons light was now off. I didn't want to have to sit awake and alone at 2 in the morning so I tapped lightly on his door, barely audible that I was surprised I heard it. After a few seconds of waiting in the surprisingly cold hallway, I assumed he was asleep and continued off to my room. When I got to my door, I looked back to make sure he wasn't just standing there and had silently managed to open the door while I was heading to my door. He wasn't. I made my way to my bed on the other side of my room and lay down atop the blankets. After lying there for about 30 odd seconds with absolutely blank on my mind I heard a faint whisper. I got up and walked to my door to see Ash standing there in his boxers, motioning me towards him, which I obliged to. I got to his door and he tugged me in, closing the door behind him. It was eerily quiet throughout the whole house, without a single sound except for our breathing. We walked over to his bed and we sat down. Remembering the earlier events of the day, I was suddenly and extremely self-conscious and awkward. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't even look him in the eye. Until he lifted my chin up to meet his beautiful eyes and he just smiled, a soft but not at all sad smile. I smiled back and shivered. I had woken up to discover that I had ripped my shirt off in my sleep and had somehow managed to almost 'replace' the jeans I was wearing with pyjama shorts.
He saw me shiver and grabbed me by the waist and pulled me down until I was lying next to him. It was still silent, but a compfortable one. One that, unfortunately, I had to break.
"You knew?" I asked in a huushed whisper.
"Yeah. you told me all about it."
"But not Luke..."
He bit his lip, he didn't want to answer the question that was so obviously coming next.
"Why?"
He stayed silent, but I wasn't mad.
"We dated..." I answered for him, though it felt like a question.
He nodded and lay his head on my shoulder. My brunette hair tickling his nose.
"What happened?"
With this he sat up. Causing me to sit up. He looked extremely serious and it made me worried and scared.
"Let's just say it had something to do with the accident and leave it at that."
And with that he laid back down, and slowly I lay down as well.
After a while he spoke up. "I'm sorry, it's just-"
"It's fine."
"No it's because-"
"It's fine." I reasured him again.
"No but really it's just-"
I cut him off.
I pressed my lips against his, but he didn't kiss back, so I quickly pulled away.
"I'm sorry" I said when it was over.
He just nodded.
"Ashton?"
He looked at me, expressionless.
"I really am sorry. I- It's just- I thought-" I stuttered but was cut off, like I had done before, with a pair of lips pushed against mine, I kissed him back releived that I hadn't made an idiot of myself.
As I kissed him I felt this strange feeling form, it was a mixture of longing and surety. I missed his touch, but I had never felt it. I missed his technique, yet I hadn't the time to know it, memorize it.
All these things I felt I missed and was glad to have back, but I had never had them before, I couldn't remember having them, how could I miss them?!
He pulled away for air and and chuckled a barely audible chuckle. Adorable none-the-less. And it was then that I realised I was smiling and blushing like an idiot. I buried my head in the pillow and apologised. He didn't say anything, I didn't feel him shuffle there was absolutely no sign that I was even in his company. So I pulled my head out of his pillow and was shocked with what I saw...
