100 Reasons Why (Ashton Irwin)

Thirty-Two Through Thirty-Six Reasons Why

Thirty-Two Through Thirty-Six Reasons Why

*Day Seventeen*

Annabelle POV

Last night, after everyone left my dorm and Amelia and Michael finished making out, Ashton told me to be in my dorm at nine today.

Why?

I have no clue.

All the girls threw ideas at me, and some of them got me thinking.

Jenna said he's going to confess his undying love for me. Yeah, okay.

Amelia suggested he's going to kidnap me and use my eggs for scientific experiments. I highly doubt this one.

Meghan thinks he's going to ask me out. I hope so.

Amelia also thinks he's going to play a few practical jokes. I swear to you she's crazy.

Jenna thinks he'll ask for what I have in my notebook, my 31 reasons so far.

That one actually makes a lot of sense. I'm dying to know what's in his notebook. If I do get asked, what do I do? Agree and tell him? Refuse?

Meghan's voice from last night comes to mind, "Girl, if he asks you for your reasons, say no. You have more dignity than that. He doesn't deserve to know unless he shows you his reasons. Say no."

I would probably say no. Meghan's right, I shouldn't tell him my reasons. It's a secret so he's surprised on day thirty.

My mom always used to tell me, "A secret is a girl's key to life. They will get you anywhere if you let them. Never tell anyone else's, never tell your own. Especially to a boy. It's alright to tell one to a girl close to you, but not ever a boy. Your ass will be in the gutters. But be careful. Not only are secrets useful, but they're also dangerous."

I wouldn't want my ass in the gutters, would I?

When nine comes along, my mind is racing with questions. Before I can worry too much about it, Ashton is at my door.

"Hi." I say.

"Hey. I just came to ask you a question. Well, two, actually."

Two? "Alright."

"The first one is kinda hard, so I'll just it out there. Belle, I really really like you. You're pretty, smart, confident and I just love being with you. Will you go out with me?"

32. Confident

"Yes." I say, with a big smile on my face. He smiles as well and hugs me.

33. Knows what he wants
34. Doesn't take things too far

"Oh, I'm so happy you said yes!" He exclaims. "Okay, the second question." What could this be? "You know what? Never mind. It's no longer important." He kisses my cheek before scurrying off.

35. Makes me think

(In the most annoying way possible, but I like it.)

Now that I think about it, these reasons are getting easier and easier. That's probably because I like him more and more with every passing second. His smile gets wider, laugh gets more cheery, eyes get brighter. His hugs get warmer and the feel of his hand gets more comfortable.

36. The feel of his hand

I've always wondered, what starts in your body to like someone? Sometimes you place your eyes on them and it's immediate love, others, you know each other for months. And when you like someone, but they don't like you back, why do you stick around? After the heartbreak it must've been to find out? Because you care for them? I've never understood. Even after multiple heartbreaks and being hurt and through so, so many tears that one person has caused, why do we still love them?

There must be a scientific explanation for this, but I'm not sure. How would you even test that? Is it the brain or the heart? Maybe a contribution of both.

I also don't understand why Ashton would like a mess like me.

But there's a first for everything.

A/N: this chapter was literal shit.

Secrets, relationships, love, ohh, I wonder?

UPDATE! I'm listening to Green Light.

Hope you enjoyed! See you next update!
