Abby's p.o.v
I was wondering why ashton looked so disappointed with our first kiss. I tried to lighten the mood, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. Did he not want to kiss me? Did he not like me? I was so confused.
"Thank you for letting me stay here," I told him after sitting on his bed in silence after the kiss.
He wouldn't stop smiling, that big goofy smile I adored on him.
"No problem. I'm surprised you actually agreed to it. Not even my friends will come here, having a stressed out, single mom," he replied.
"I give your mom all the blessings in the world. I have two parents and they don't even have time for me or my brother," I told him. I never shared this information, but I trusted him, a lot.
"Really? But you have so much more than me. You're popular, everyone loves you. You have all this money," he told me.
"That doesn't matter. What I don't have is happiness. That is what's most important," I responded.
"You're telling me. All my life has been a series of depression and loneliness. I didn't have friends, there was so many family issues. I know I'm a little weird, but I found these guys and everything felt okay. And I found you," he told me.
My heart ached for him. I don't pity him, I support him. All I want is for him to be happy. My new goal was to make him as happy as he can. I don't care if I use up every once of joy in my body, as long it heals his depression, the loneliness.
"I'll be here, for as long as you need me. There's going to be ups and downs, problems threatening that promise, but it's a promise and I don't break those."
"I keep asking this same question, but what did I do to deserve you?" He asked.
"You were just being yourself. You're not fake like everyone else. I don't like plastic. I like real genuine people. I found someone I can trust," I replied.
He slid his hand across the bed, until it touched mine. Our fingers intertwined.
"Thank you."
