I felt better knowing I had Ashton on my side.
He's so sweet.
The worlds such a shitty place, but like they say, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is Ashton.

I walk over to the piano, gesturing him to come sit beside me, "I wrote another song, did you want to hear it?".
He smiles, sitting beside me, "Do you even have to ask? I could spend hours listening to you play".
I begin to play;

"I know I'll never meet your expectations,
But the picture that you paint of me looks better in your mind...

I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down.
I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down.

I hope you think of me high,
I hope you think of me highly,
When you're with someone else.
I know your friends all lie,
I know your friends don't like me,
They want you for themselves"...

Ashton claps, "You're an amazing song writer Y/N".
I smile, "Thanks Ashton, it means a lot", I smirk at him, "Sooo, now that you've heard both of my songs, can I hear yours?".
He looks nervous, it's not really a side of him you see often.
He hesitates, but agrees and begins to sing;

"Drink all night, never sleep
You say go, I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way...."

Ashton always writes such sad songs with so much meaning, it hurts to know someone's broke his heart...

"Your precious heart, can't watch it break.
So I close my eyes, while you walk away...

If you can't find another reason to stay.
Then I know, I'm gonna always have a
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely heart.."

I pull Ashton into a hug, "Your songs are so good".
He lets out a chuckle, "Thanks Y/N, I've rewrote them so much, I'm just scared, cause if the person I wrote them about knew, they might be mad".
I part from the hug and give him a reassuring smile, "Can't be worse than Calum's reaction".

We chat for awhile, but the thought keeps coming up in my head. Who did Ashton write his songs about?
