i woke up with a massive headache. i could just remember yelling at grace to leave and then sleeping.
"good morning sleepyhead" grace says giving me a water and some advil.
i closer my eyes last night came in flashes. i remember kissing grace and she said something like we shouldn't have done that.
"what happened last night?" i said in a raspy voice
"a lot. um you kissed me and i left then i think you drank a lot and brendon and josh brought you back here." grace said quietly
"why'd you leave?" i said resting my hands on my lap
"i was scared. it happened so fast. i didn't even know how to react."i say putting my hands in my hair to fix it.
ashley reached out for graces hand. " i really really really like you a lot grace" she says
"i like you a lot too." grace says
"i'm going back home tomorrow" ashley says with a sigh
"i have something to tell you." she says
"what's up" ashley responds
"immovingtolaintwoweekstostartschooldonthateme" she says super fast
"what, slow down, grace" ashley says
" i am moving to la in two weeks to start school so don't hate me?" she said in a question
"why would i hate you that means i get to spend more time with you and we can actually go on dates and stuff" ashley says
she smiles " dates and stuff?" she asks
"yeah dates and stuff but only if you want like you don't have to if you don't want to." ashley says rambling
"no i'm totally down for it" grace says smiling
"sweet," ashley says after sipping on her water.
ash gets a text from josh and quickly responds before asking grace something. "so josh said that the boys aren't gonna go downstairs for a few hours so do you wanna watch big hero six i have it downloaded to my computer."
"yeah sure it's one of my favorite movies" grace says
"me too !" ashley says sigh excitement.
they watched the movie while laying next to each other. it was relaxing to grace it was pure bliss. things finally felt like they're going her way.
grace slowly falls asleep in ashley's arms
--
grace wakes up in a different room. much different from the hotel. the walls where white instead of tan. the bed was smaller the drapes were darker the sun seemed almost dimmer. not a single trase of ashley.
no floral perfume, no bright blue wig, no badlands sweatshirt nothing.
she closed her eyes maybe it's a dream maybe it's a dream.

"hey, are you alright ?" ashley asked playing with your hair.
