AMELIA'S POV-
He dragged me down the hallway. I was blushing furiously, he intertwined his hands with mine.
People looked at us and hushed whispers started.
"The-they are whispering Ashton."
"Let them!" He said and shrugged.
I heard some girl we pass by said.
"Maybe she is after her money, you know he is filthy rich."
"She would be his new WH*re."
Who-
What the heck. How can they even say that? Tears pooled in my eyes. And the whispers increased, those incoherent words kept ringing in my minds.
Slu-.
Who-.
I stopped in my tracks. I glued to my spot, I hung my head low and one tear fell from my eyes, followed with others. He tugged me.
Once.
Twice.
He turned around and looked at me.
He took a step closer. I took a step backward. Tears soaked my neck and my sweater top. My pony can't even help to hide my face.
I looked down, he came closer and pulled my chin up. He saw my face his eyes widened and concern took over him.
"What happened Ames, why are you crying?"
"She sure is a w***e" someone said, a loud this time.
A loud sob escaped my mouth.
He turned and looked at the girl. His nose flared in anger, he was fuming with rage.
"Listen you say another word and I will rip your head out." He said.
"What wrong did I said, she is a w***e, this is what the whole school says, actually this is what written over her locker, actually she looked like one. Stacey was right." She being a stubborn self said. He growled. I am now afraid of the consequences.
He took a step towards her. She stood there looking in his eyes.
"You one time more call my girlfriend with those names, and I will make sure to make your life living hell. You get me?" he said. The word made me blush but I stood there. Crying. Weak. I hate being weak.
"Whoa! I don't think she is your girlfriend, I mean look at her. Skinny, ugly and with cherry on top, I can freaking smell her disgusting perfume. How cheap!" she said with pure disgust in her eyes, I flinched under her stare. She looked at me with hatred, why? He left my hand I immediately missed his hand's warmth.
He stride towards her and grabbed her by her chin and pushed her to a locker and I am now really scared of his next step.
No matter what she said, if our principal, saw this scene she will definitely punish him and I will not let this happen especially not, when he was fighting to me. I moved towards him, he kept saying something to her and she flinched every time.
I placed my hands on his wrists and squeezed them he looked towards me, and his eyes soften. I shook my head in disapproval.
He then gripped on her neck choking her and kept looking at me. My eyes widen in fear. I placed my hand on his wrist which was on her neck.
"No, no ashton don't." I shook my head more tears flew out of my eyes.
He left her neck. She choked.
"Prove us you bastard! Prove us that she is your girlfriend." She said and again choked. I went to her and rubbed her back soothingly. She looked at me as if I grown two heads.
"Don't say anything you are choking, do you want to go to nurse." I said to her in a concerned voice.
I am concerned.
Ashton tugged my arm and turned me. But haven't looked at me. He looked straight towards her.
"You want a proof, huh." He said.
He pulled me towards his chest my hands rested on his chest. He grabbed me neck and smashed his lips on mine. I savored the taste of his minty breathe and took it all in me. I grabbed a fistful of his hairs he pushed me against a locker without breaking the kiss.
He broke due to panting.
I smiled.
He is a ray of light in my life.
I smiled brightly.
"Amelia will you be my girlfriend?" He suddenly asked. We just know each other for hardly two days and yet I found myself nodding. He smiled and hugged me breathed in my hairs.
"I love your smell."
He buried his head in the crook of my neck and kissed it. An unusual feeling erupted and my stomach churned, it started doing summersaults, tingles appeared. Not matter how my head battled with my heart to give answer that why did I nod?
But the answer was still same.
I don't know!
I really don't know but I felt a wave of joy. Maybe I like him.
Surely who can't like him? But do I like, like him?
Maybe yes I like him.
I don't know in a span of two days without knowing each other. How can I like him?
But Ames, whom I myself know never gave her first kiss to anyone. No matter how hard they pleased her.
Guys hit on me in my early school but I ignored them, then why I kissed him all of sudden?
Why my heartbeat increased when I am near him?
Why my heart betrayed me when I don't want to say yes I say yes without even my knowing.
Why I gave it to him.
I promised myself to give it to the one whom I love.
Do I love him?
Can I love him?
We both are different paths that collided in the grocery shop.
Is he my crush?
Answer heart!
Why????
Maybe he is my crush,
No,
He is my crush, breathe always hitch in my throat looking at his face. I always find hard to breath near him. Maybe these are the symptoms that the Amelia Stewarts had finally broken the chains which she tied her heart with.
Main motto never fall in love.
But I guess. She failed because love can happen anytime.
No matter how less time we both know each other but it sure is that I love Ashton.
Did I rushed, but no it is love, but will he be able to return the feelings.
Will he love me back?
Ever.
I fell in love with someone for the first time. There is no way I am taking steps back.
I will take this risk.
I will walk on the thin line where the only support for me will be hope that one day he will love me back.
I will take this risk.
Because my heart already did by falling for him.
I love Ashton Ryder.
And I don't regret meeting him.
I love that grocery shop.
I wish he never leave me.
Maybe time will be short but feeling can appear out of blue.
And talking about heart.
You can't control it, at least I can't.
The conclusions are here.
I love Ashton freaking Ryder.
My freaking Ashton Ryder.
