Saving Chloe [5SOS Fanfic] *SLOW UPDATES*

chapter twenty-five

- Chloe's Perspective -

"Ashton, that was my therapist and her son," I gasped in embarrassment.

"Who gives a poo?" Ashton said, pulling me close once more. He grabs at my chin, our faces close again.

"I do Ash. It looks like I don't even need therapy. Like I'm selling my body. Oh God help me." I sighed, pulling away from him.

"No Chloe,  relax. Let's finish what we started, don't you think?" He grinned.

"You poop." I laughed, our lips meet once more but I escape his grasp and move to the passenger seat.

"Oh Chloe. I think... I think I... no never mind."

"No tell me." I said in curiosity.

"I said never mind." Ashton said.

"Cmon tell me Ash or I'll keep bothering you." I giggled as I poked at his side.

There was a moment of silence as we both awkwardly sat back and watched cars pass.

"Please?"

"Nahh."

Another silence.

"Asht--" I was cut off by his voice.

"Chloe, I want us to happen," he finally blurt out.

My eyes opened in surprisement. I wasn't expecting that at all. Yet my heart nearly skipped a beat.
 I wanted to say that I did too, but was it true?

I didn't believe in love, yet I'm so confused with myself. I don't really know what love is simply because its the truth. I really don't know.

What is us? Is it like heaven? Paradise? Summer?

Or better?

Is it love, I ask myself.

I look into Ashton's eyes, as his stare right back. And I feel like melting in his arms again. I feel like I'll die if I'm not without him, but I know this isn't love.

I've got to make things straight.

"Ashton?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm confused."

"Oh whats wrong?" He says, his eyebrows furrowing as in a worried emotion.

"I don't know." I simply say.

"Well it'll all be alright."

I smile, but inside, I'm burning. I want to tell him I love him. I want to tell him to hug me. I want him to kiss me. But I want Calum too.

Whats wrong with you Chloe?

Oh wait, everything. Like always.

"I'll leave now," I say to Ashton quietly. But before I could open the door, he takes a grasp at my wrist.

"Careful," I snap back a bit to harshly.

"Oh sorry Chloe. I didn't mean to hurt you." He says, his eyes full of concern.

He lets go of my wrist and grabs my hand instead.

"Chloe, remember that I love you, okay?" He says.

I nod, unable to find words to say to him.

"Thanks for today." I send a small smile.

"No, thank you Chloe. It was my pleasure." He teases.

I laugh, about to open the door again, but he pulls me inside again, his lips litterally smash right on mine. I close my eyes, alert of his actions, yet so in love with it.
