Abby's p.o.v
Ashton's mother was the sweetest woman I have ever met. She was much better than my parents, who never talk to me because they are too busy working all the time. It gets a little lonely at home, but the internet opens a doorway to millions of people I can talk to.

My passion was the internet, the new world of communication, and for me, happiness. I could clearly tell what Ashton's passion was when I took a step inside his room.

Lining the walls were posters of legendary bands, singers, albums. There were stacks of CDs all over his dresser. The room wasn't very neat, but that's what I would expect from a teenage boy.

"I'm sorry about the mess," ashton apologized. I could tell he was nervous. I knew he never had a girl his age inside his bedroom.

"It's, actually, quite beautiful. These posters are marvelous. These albums are priceless. I love it," I told him.

A bright smile spread across his face. His cheeks turned red.

"Thank you. Oh and um," he got distracted by something, and stopped his sentence midway.

He walked over to an old cat, sitting towards the back of his room.

"Get out of here!" Ashton spat at her.

"It's fine. I love cats," I told him, feeling sorry for it.

"You don't understand. That cat is miserable, even worse than me. She attacks people, especially myself. I wish she would just die already," he muttered.

He kept glancing at the cat, with fear in his hazel eyes.

"I'm sure she's just fine," I said and stepped closer to the feline.

I let my hand out, for her to sniff, but she hissed and ran out the room.

"I told you," ashton laughed a little.

"Yeah, you did. Maybe I should listen to you more often," I replied.

I walked up to him, nearly pressed against him in the small space. This was the moment. I was praying that he would come out. He would show his feelings.

Ashton put his hand on my hip, the other pushing my chin up, so he could ask, staring into my eyes, "What did I do to deserve you?"

And after those words, he smiled before pressing his lips against mine, Finally.
