The Only Exception

Chapter 16

Nicole's P.O.V
I slowly open my eyes to see an empty bed beside me. I couldn't find my cloths so I decided to put on Ashton's batman shirt he was wearing yesterday,i walked out of his room and walked towards the kitchen where I saw Ashton making something in just his boxers,fuck he's hot.
"Wow you look awesome in that shirt" he says giving me his sexy grin
"Sorry I couldn't find my cloths"
"No problem babe,whats mine is yours"
"What are you making?" I ask concerned
"I don't really know,i know we're both not in good places right now but,hey why not eat a bit,because I don't want you to alter your eat habits to be "skinner" because you are perfect the way you are" he says while giving me a tight hug.
"So are you" I say while adoring his face
"Well I'm pretty blessed to have you,ill tell you that much."
After a while of us trying to attempt to make food I decided I should ask Ashton more about himself,even though we're dating I don't know the ring I want to know most about him.
"Ashton,what's your favourite colour?"
"Are you really going to play the question game with me Nicole? Wanna know what let's skip all the things that you already know,lets talk about my parents,because that's what you want to know about I'm assuming" he was right,i did want to know about them and what happened and why they would leave poor innocent Ashton with this terrible man.
"I'm sorry,of course I want to know,i want to know everything about you,your dreams to your worst nightmares,I want to be here for your lowest point and your highest point,anything there is to know about you I want to know."
"I lost my parents 2 years ago in a fire." he says while sitting us both down on the couch "my uncle blames me for it,when I wasn't even there,he said if I weren't at camp I could have saved them." he says while his eyes start to tear up "Nicole what if I could have saved them!?" He begins to bawl
"Ashton you couldn't have,don't beat yourself up. I know they wouldn't want you to blame yourself."
"You really think it's not my fault?"
"Of course not Ashton you weren't there,theres nothing you could have done."
"Try telling my uncle that" he says shoving his face in his arms
"Your uncles a fucking asshole Ash" I say bluntly
"He means well okay"
"okay."

Ashton's P.O.V
"Can we talk about you now babe?"
"There's not much to talk about,but sure"
"Honestly,I've known you for 5 years and you've never said one word to me till a little while ago,i was wondering why,did I change or something?"
"I'll be honest Ashton,Ive always been about fitting in and trying to be popular and maintaining a high social status,but the only reason I tried so hard was because I'm broken, absolutely broken. and when I got partnered up with you in English class on that Terribly cold Monday morning I couldn't help but become interested in you,you were so intriguing it's like I needed you,honestly I fell in love with you right when you looked into my eyes during science class,seeing those sparkling Hazel eyes made me melt and I couldn't catch myself from falling for you,so here I am,with you,the boy with the Beautiful brown hair and a dark black sweater,none of this would have happened if we weren't partnered up together,wow I honestly can't imagine where I'd be without you."
"I know where I'd be without you" I say calmly
"Where?"
"6 feet under"
