"I changed my mind." He smirks...

---

"You did?" I lift my eyebrows.
"Of course not." He chuckles.


I sigh heavily and get off him.
I start to walk back into the forest, back to the car.


"May, wait up!" He yells after me but I don't listen and just keep on walking.
After a while I'm still not out of it.


It's just because you ran.. It's just because you ran last time. You'll be out here in not time.
"Ashton!" I yell.


I don't get any response and look around me.
Are the trees creepier than first or is it just me?


"Ashton!"
"Ashton! This is not funny!"


I begin to shiver a little, it's damn cold right now.
"Ashton!!"


After walking around for a while I still don't see Ashton.
I'm officially lost.


Suddenly I get grabbed by my hips and pulled into a body. A hand covers my mouth just as I'm about to scream.


"What is a lady like you doing alone in the forest?" He whispers into my ear.


I push my tears back and breath heavily through my nose.
"I bet you look way prettier without those clothes on." I feel a beard against my cheek.


"Leave me alone." I muffle through his hand.
He chuckles and licks my neck.


I bite in his hand and drops his hand.
"You little bitch." He spats.


"Ashton!" I yell.
"Ashton Help!"


The guy gets a hold of me again and I struggle to get free.
"Let's make a walk." He smirks.


I can see his face now.


Around 40. Greying hair and a dirty beard.


"Leave me alone!" I struggle.
"Leave her alone." I hear Ashton's voice behind him.


I sigh in relief and look at him.
"What do you want fag?" The man lets me go.


I fall onto the ground and crawl away.
I turn around and just see how Ashton hits the guy.


The creep stumbles back and falls.
"C'mon." He takes my hand and we quickly run away.


When we're at his car I hug him and begin to cry.
"Sshhh, it's okay." He pets my hair.


"Thank you. If you didn't come..." I squeak.
"Hey hey, I did. I don't even wanna think about what would've happened."


"Let's get you home." He mumbles.
I nod my head and let him go.


He softly pushes his lips onto mine.
"I'm happy you're okay." He smiles.


"Seems like you're my superhero after all." I smile.
"I know right? I have my own superpowers." He poses and I laugh.


"Don't get your ego too high." I smirk.
"What? It doesn't happen everyday that I save a pretty girl." He smirks and cups my chin.


"Pretty?" I smile.
"Pretty, smart, cute, passionate, organised, loveable, kissable, sensitive.. Do I need to go on?"


I nod my head.


He smiles and goes on.
"Fashionable, perfect figure, nice, Christmas fanatic, sweet, responsible, caring-"
"Okay okay, I get it." I laugh.


"Your perfectly imperfect." He smiles softly.
I smile too and kiss him softly.


He kisses me back as he lays his hands on my cheeks.
He groans and pulls away.


"We really need to get you home." He sighs.
"Or.. I could crash at your place?" I smile.


"Sorry love, but we can't. Mike will be freaking out."
I sigh and nod my head.


"Let's go." I smile again and kiss him one more time before getting in the car.


When he turns up his driveway I smile softly at him, ready to get out.
I don't though.


"Ashton?" I ask softly.
"Hm?" He replies.


"What are we?" I speak quietly.
"What do you mean?"


"Are we friends? Friends with benefits? In a relationship? I need this cleared up." I didn't even realise myself that I needed an answer on that so bad.


"I don't know." He mumbles.
I sigh and he sighs too.


"What do you want us to be?" He asks.
"I don't know, you?"


"I think it's pretty clear what I want.." He chuckles.
"But I don't want you to have something with me only because I want to." He adds.


I sigh.
"I'm not the one to make decisions." I sigh.


"Then don't." He carefully pushes his lips against mine.
My fingers tingle when I lay my finger tips on his cheek.


When he pulls back he smiles softly.
"You need some space, I'll let you make up your mind." He mumbles.
"But.. My door is always open, if you ever need me." He smiles.


"Thanks... Ash." I smile and get out of the car.


I quickly walk inside my house and up to my room.


I really need to make up my mind. And fast.
