"are you ready?" ashton quietly asks maria, his fingers rubbing the back of her hand. 

"i-i guess so," maria shrugs, looking away. 

"im sorry if ive disappointed you, maria," ashton says suddenly. "i saw the way you looked at them.. and im really sorry."

"w-what?" maria widens her eyes, "i'm not disappointed! im just... upset, you know, cause youre hurting yourself."

"it's kind of an addiction, you could say... i mean, im finally happy with you but i just cant stop." ashton mutters.

"it's going to be okay," maria says as they both walk into the building where they had first met. they both decided it was good for them to start group therapy again... maybe then, it'll help them both.

"t-that wasnt so bad," maria slightly smiles. "i forgot the feeling of having someone there to help you."

"im always here," ashton unlocks the door to their hotel room. "whenever you need me."

"same goes to you." maria softly kisses ashton's cheek and a grin breaks out on his face.

"i love that you make me smile," ashton mumbles, his cheeks reddening. "it's incredible."

"you make me smile too, baby." maria blushes. 

"we're so cheesy," he chuckles. 

"we are," maria sits on the bed, laying next to ashton.

"but that's what makes us who we are," ashton whispers as he snuggles into maria's neck, placing a small kiss on her jawline. 

"you know i love you, right?" maria puts an arm around ashton. warmth and comfort immdeiately runs through their body.

"y-yeah," ashton bites his lip. 

"then please dont hurt yourself," maria frowns.

"it's been 3 days," ashton mutters. "that's the most its been for me."

"and im so happy," 

"so am i," he breathes out, "promise me you wont do anything either."

"i promise," maria grins. 

"hopefully this time, our promises dont break." ashton sighs.

A/N: been invited to a party today and the worst thing is that i have no confidence whatsoever to walk in there.
