Abby's p.o.v
I couldn't spend the rest of the day without wondering what ashton had planned. That cheeky grin he had across his face showed me how devious he's being.

I nearly jumped out of my seat when the bell rang and ran down the hall. He said he would see me after school, so there I was at the very first minute of after school.

"You're a bit early," ashton said as he walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"I was a bit eager, that's all," I confessed, trying to stay calm.

The way his touch made me feel made me want to do things. I had to control myself.

"Are you ready?" He whispered in my ear.

"More than I'll ever be," I replied with a smile due to all the excitement building up inside me.

"Let's go then," he said and I grabbed his hand before he led me down the sidewalk.

We walked for a while, and when we passed Michael's house, I was confused of where we were going.

"Don't worry, we're almost there," Ashton assured me, almost reading my mind really.

Soon he stopped, right in front of what seemed to be an old, abandoned house. It has been there for ages and I furrowed my eyebrows together as I looked back and forth between ashton and the building.

"I know what you're thinking. And no, I am not going to murder you," he told me and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What is this place?" I asked.

"A get-away. I come here at least twice a week. Unless I'm busy with other things," he said and gave me a wink.

"Are you sure it's safe?" I asked.

"Well it hasn't collapsed for the past three years so I think we're okay," he replied.

He seemed...happy when looking at the old house. What was so special about it?

"Come on," he said and I followed him inside.

There was nothing in the house except stacks of CDs, records, movies, instruments. There was even a radio and music player. Then I saw a TV. It was like a den, for music lovers.

"I-I love it," I said in awe taking in all the classic records and movies.

I finally found someone with even greater music taste than me.

End of Chapter 43

I can just imagine Ashton having a hideaway like this when he was in high school.
