-ASHLEY'S POV-
I stepped out of the shower, wrapped the towel tightly around my body and turned on my hair straightener to let it heat up while I began to look through my closet.
after about 25 minutes of looking and looking I couldn't pick the perfect outfit.
I stuck my head into the hall making sure none of the boys were around.
"LOOOOUIS! ELEANOOOOR!" I shouted.
almost immediately Eleanor shot out of louis' room and ran over to me.
Louis following quickly behind.
"crisis..I don't know what to wear tonight..." I whined.
Eleanor spun around like it was no big deal.
she walked to my closet like she owned the place.
first she stood in front of it just staring blankly, but then it was like something snapped in her and she took out a dress, shoes, a bra, and underwear before I could blink.
I laughed.
"thanks el" I said shooing them out.
I looked at what she picked out.
a black tight strapless dress with silver lines going through the dress.
she picked out silver heels, black LACE underwear ((what are you thinking el!)) and a black strapless bra.
I skipped to the bathroom and began to straighten my hair.
after an hour of getting ready I stood in front of the mirror.
I was pretty pleased with how I looked.
I had a light coat of makeup on, I mean it was only a dinner.
I grabbed my black clutch, flipping my hair over my shoulder as I walked out of the room.
right when I stepped out I made an immediate left into my dads room.
"hey dad, going out! see you later!" I said blowing him a kiss.
the next thing he said caught me way off guard.
"have a great time sweetie! I love you!" as the words came out of his mouth I felt myself begin to fall.
if the door handle wasn't there, I most likely would have.
I forced a smile on my face and walked out.
as I began walking I would tilt to one side and then regain my balance, repeating this over and over.
Harry walked out of his room.
"hey babe- what's wrong?!" he asked
"harry. my dad he-" Harry cut me off
"HE WHAT?!?!?!?!?!" he shouted, causing me to flinch which made me fall a little, Harry quickly caught me.
"he....told me he loved me..." I smiled
Harry's expression went from angry to happy.
"that's wonderful. I was kind of hoping I would be the first to say it though.." he mumbled off so quiet I could barely hear.
"hm?" I asked.
"come follow me" he said tugging me.
I hesitantly followed.
I walked hand in hand with him to who knows where.
he held the door for me and led me to the back yard where there was a path of rose petals.
I looked at him, confused.
he returned my look with a shrug.
I saw him smile once he faced forward again.
the rose petals came to a stop.
he pulled out a bouquet of roses.
they were all red but one was a specifically darker shade of red.
-HARRY'S POV-
I was shaking like a wet dog.
I held the bouquet in my hands.
she left her laptop open on 'tumblr yesterday.
ok, I guess you could say I was snooping..
I scrolled a little and there was a bouquet of flowers with a caption under.
'my boyfriend gave these to me, he told me "when the last rose dies, I will stop loving you" and he had put a plastic rose in there. #sweetestthingever'
i smiled to myself.
I was gonna do that.
as my way of asking her out.
I was so confident.
and now... what if she says no.
I sighed.
"this is a bouquet of roses. there's a special rose in there." I winked when the last rose dies, that is "when I will stop loving you Ashley" I stuttered watching her face change from confused to ecstatic.
"will you do me, the honors of having you be my girlfriend" I smiled.
she looked down at the roses.
then back up.
"yes" she smiled.
I wrapped my arms around her waist and picked her off the ground slightly.
she giggled and I set her down.
we walked back inside.
"let me put the flowers in water. and then we'll leave" she said walking off into the kitchen.
we came back inside, all the boys watching tv with Eleanor.
while Ashley went into the kitchen I sat next to Liam.
"she's mine" I whispered
He screeched.
I laughed and watched Ashley come back into the living room.
"alright, guess we'll be off then. see you guys later!" I shouted as I walked to the car, hand in hand with my girlfriend.
once we got to the restaurant, Ashley called andrea.
"are you here?.....
ok....
in the back?....
alright we're coming" she spoke into the phone.
"they're here. she said to ask for
Andrea and they'll show us there." she said.
once the waitress showed us to the table I saw someone that I recognized. but I couldn't remember who..
I felt Ashley freeze next to me.
-ASHLEY'S POV-
jake.
jake was here.
with andrea!
so many emotions were going through my body.
they hadn't seen us yet.
but I bet andrea was the whore he 'cheated' on me with.
I looked up at harry.
"he's the guy that ditched me at the club" I said.
that's all it took to get Harry angered.
I squeezed his hand.
calming him down a little.
we began walking towards the table.
jake and andrea both looked up.
both looked happy, until jake saw me.
then he turned pink from embarrassment.
I nodded to Harry and took a seat across from them.
"hello jake" I stated.
Harry clenched his fist, but I placed his hand in my lap so I could rub them, trying to calm him down,
"you two know each other?" andrea asked.
"oh yes. he took me on a date to a club, and snuck off to cheat on me with you" I smiled.
andrea's face went from happy to disgusted/confused.
"uh..to clear the air.. we weren't dating so it's not called cheating." he said still flushing.
I laughed.
"honey, you took me on a date and snogged another girl. the proper word is cheating." I said.
"but lets not make this evening about us. the past is the past." I smiled
but andrea didnt.
i frowned at her.
"I'm so sorry Ash... I didn't know, really" she apologized,
"it's not your fault" I said sincerely.
she returned the smile.
"sorry jake. but I think you should leave." she said.
I smiled.
that was my girl.
"excuse me. you can't tell me what to do, bitch. I'm the one paying" he rolled his eyes
I prayed Harry wouldn't get in this mess.
"it's ok! I can pay! the lady said to leave. so go." Harry snapped.
I sighed.
this could go 2 ways.
jake could leave, and no one would get hurt.
or Harry would flip.
and hurt someone.
I hated seeing Harry mad.
"I wasn't talking to you. now andrea. remember what we talked about" he said wrapping his arm around her. she cringed.
I knew something was going on but i didn't know what..
"just leave jake!" she whisper/shouted trying to push him off.
Harry tried to stand up but I held him down.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU WHORE!" jake shouted.
people began to stare.
and before i knew it, a million thing were happening at once.
Jake slapped andrea.
Harry punched jake.
security was on them both.
andrea was in my arms crying.
and somehow I didn't do anything.
I was frozen.
my body was screaming "DO SOMETHING! COMFORT HER! PUNCH JAKE! HELP HARRY!" but I couldn't..
I starred blankly at the wall.
trying to smooth Andreas hair.
i shook my heead.
snapping myself back.
"A, are you ok?!" I asked shakily.
"I knew he didn't like me. iknew it! but I didn't want to stop seeing him cause I knew he would do this. im sorry if Harry got hurt.." she said in between sobs.
I sighed petting her hair.
"don't you dare worry about that. speaking of, where are they?' I asked
she stood up, smoothing her dress.
"follow me." she said.
she led me outside where jake was lying on a hospital stretcher.
Harry had blood rolling out of his nose, on his arms, on his legs.
I felt my knees loose structure.
my Harry had caused someone to have to go to the hospital..
imagine if I got him mad.
what he would do...
I saw his eyes filled with anger. until they met mine.
he began walking towards me.
every step he took forward, I took backward.
andrea finally stood in between.
"I.... I think it's better if she stays over my house tonight.." she said, still crying.
he looked at me, tears streaming down his face.
I'm sure mine were doing the same.
I couldn't bear to look at him.
I turned around.
wrapping my arms around my body.
me and andrea comforted each other.
it's what best friends do..
-HARRY'S POV-
I blew it!
IM SUCH A DUMBASS!!!
WHY WAS I SO STUPID!!!
I tugged at my curls.
"mate, calm down, your curls are gonna go straight!" Louis warned me.
I ignored him.
Im sure I came off as a monster to her.
I sighed and fell on the couch.
she was scared of me.
my girlfriend was scared of me.
the girl I LOVED was scared of me.
this had to be the worst feeling ever.
she wasn't answering any of my calls..
I had blown it for real..
her dad.. was gonna kill me.
(A/N) Soooooo, what do you think? right when Hashly get together he screws up..
but just to clarify, THEY'RE STILL TOGETHER!!
