-Ashton's POV-

I was speechless when she said yes but soon it was time for her to go. I walk her downstairs and to the front door. I give Austin a look saying that if he says one thing, his ass is getting beat. As always, she keeps her head down.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I tell her and she nods.

"See you later, Ash." She says softly.

I don't know what came over me but I lean over and give her a side hug. She hugs me back and I see her smiling. She pulls away and walks outside when a car horn honks.

I watch as she gets inside the car and the car drives off. I close the blinds. My brother is glaring at me. I roll my eyes and walk upstairs. His voice stops me.

"She seems nice."

"She is. What's your problem?" I ask him.

"What are you talking about?" He asks, pissing me off.

"Why were you so rude to her? It's obvious she isn't anybody who sleeps around." I grit my teeth in anger.

"I apologized to her. If you want my apology, then ask for it." He taunts.

"I don't want shit from you." I snap and run upstairs to my room.

I slam the door loudly, due to my anger. I don't know why I'm so angry. It's not even about Austin. I just feel some type of way when it comes to anybody around Grace.

Like the day in school when Chase bumped into her, I wanted to say something. I felt a ping of jealousy. I don't know why. I think I'm falling for her? I wanted to kiss her so badly. Take her body and have her submit to me. Make her mines.

I pull out my phone, texting AJ to ask him if he wanted to go for a smoke. I am feeling very confused about my feelings. I decided to text Grace to see if she's home safe and sound.

Me: are u home safely?

Grace 💕: Yes. Thank you for checking up.

Me: anytime. goodnight 😘

Grace 💕: Goodnight, Ash 💜

I set my phone down, thinking about tomorrow. She's actually coming back. I really want her so I can't screw it up with my smart ass mouth.

I will never hurt her or let anyone hurt her. She's mine and I'll kick someone's ass if they decide to lay a finger on her. I'll never hurt her again. With my mouth AND actions. Never again.

I lay on my back with one arm under my head. I close my eyes, dreaming about my beautiful girl and how are future could be together.

I woke up and rubbed my eyes. The sun's brightness is peeking through my curtains. I yawned. I reach over to grab my phone off of the charger.

I received texts from AJ, Sam and Chase and Instagram notifications. Likes... comments. Grace posted yesterday? I need to see this.

I scroll and look at her recent post on her story. She's so aesthetic and cute it's making me smile first thing in the morning.
