Prompt;Â somewhat based off of boy without a car by the vamps
He sat there under the tree just glancing at her while trying to remember the rhythms he had to know for band practice later.
It was his typical spot, usually to just watch her with her friends. Everyday he'd come to the same tree in the courtyard of school. Most of the time it was a way for him to get away from his friends that were pissing him off, but he just wanted to see her, other than at 3AM.
He knew her, but she didnât talk to him while they were at school, or public in general. He understood though, she was popular and he wasnât. He was just in a lame band and he didnât quite have himself figured out.
His fingers had stopped moving and he realized that he was staring at her, when she glared back he knew he had to leave. He just wanted to talk to her, tell her how he felt, but he knew she wouldnât feel the same way about him.
hey pretty face, I need to tell you something xx
He sent it as soon as he was out of her sight. He couldnât get over her, and the fact that he knew she didnât even care about the âfriendsâ she was with, even if she never really got close with them.
Ashton knew she didnât get close to anyone, but he was an exception, and he still didnât understand the girl.
âBro youâre late. Again,â Calum muttered, confused to who he had been texting, and he used to never be late to a band practice.
âI know, just kinda got caught up at school,â Ashton didnât even think twice about his answer and avoided eye contact with the dark haired boy.
âAsh, come on thatâs been your excuse for the last week, what the hell is going on?â Calum quirked a brow, not putting up with his bullshit.
âCalum, Iâm serious, school has been kicking my ass and Iâve been trying to learn new songs, promise it wonât happen again,â he looked up at Calum, defeated because he didnât want Calum to be disappointed in him.
âJust fucking play the songs,â Calum spat, hoping Ashton would spill at some point what he was actually doing.
âStop being such a fucking asshole, Calum,â Luke glared at him, being the only person to know what Ashton was dealing with, he knew Ashton was being lead on, he knew Ashton was gonna get hurt at some point. He tried to tell Ashton and he wouldnât listen.
âGuys its fine, heâs right, Iâve been late recently, Iâll step it up,â Ashton mumbled while sitting on the drum stool, hoping they would just drop the subject.
âHow do we expect him to be on time when he doesnât have a car and rides a bike?â Michael spoke up, trying to help Ashton out, even though he didnât really know what was happening.
Once band practice was over, Ashton didnât even know what to do. He still had 4 hours until he could go and meet her, so he decided to keep texting her and he knew it was a bad idea.
You know, ive never met a girl like you
Because you always have me wanting more
She never responded to him, but it was normal. Heâd text her, she wouldnât respond and they would still end up meeting at 3AM anyways. It was always at the park, and even though she didnât wanna be seen with him, she went with it, and has kept with it.
âAsh youâre late,â she faintly smiled, hoping he would sit next to her.
âI know, just kind of confused because you still show up, and still meet me here. And I know you donât get close to anyone. Iâm just wondering how we got this far I guess,â he rambled taking the seat next to her. Ashton was so caught up in looking at her, he didnât even realize she was speaking to him.
âI donât know, youâre just easy to talk to I guess, you understand me, trust me Iâm surprised we still meet every night too,â she hoped she didnât lead him on because it was all fun in the beginning until she caught feelings for the boy she couldnât be seen with.
âDonât quite understand how this happened though, like Iâm just a boy without a car, you have a car, you have guys lined up with cars that want to date you. Â I ride my bike everywhere, and thatâs no way to get around. like girls like you donât talk to guys like me. and itâs so easy to talk to you, like I literally pour my heart and soul out to you and you donât ever judge me, I just wish you felt the same way about me,â the last part he whispered, hoping she didnât catch it.
âFuck Ashton, if you had any idea about the way I felt about you, you wouldnât be left high and dry all of the time,â she looked up at him, thankful something was finally being done about it.
âWhat the fuck is that supposed to mean?â He was confused, especially because she felt the same way towards him, even if she ignored him at school and wouldnât ever respond to his messages.
âIf it hasnât been obvious this whole time, I like you, and I love talking to you, I know I might not be good at showing that, but if you wouldnât be a dumb boy for 2 seconds you would know I like you back and would of interacted with you more,â she was messing with the hole in her jeans, becoming more nervous by the second because she really did like him and wished she hadnât treated him the way that she did.
âyâknow, youâre like rain, I love to drown myself in it,â Ashton smiled, glad his feelings finally got across to her.
âGlad to say that I feel the same way,â Â she smiled, thankful for all of the times they met up to talk at 3AM.
