" Ahhh " Ashton clutched his head as he felt throbbing pain in his head. It was like someone was hammering it mercilessly. Granted, it was him who decided to drink to the point he wasn't even able to stand up.

Ashton ran his hand near his bed side table in an attempt to find water. God this alcohol. Earlier his alcohol tolerance was commendable, he didn't use to get drunk so easily and such hangovers were rare but since the day Bella had told him to quit drinking, he didn't touch alcohol since that day until yesterday. Even if that was hard and his body used to shiver urging for alcohol.

He didn't know why it was that he lost control and got drunk. Maybe because he couldn't stand the fact that after their dance she would just go with caveman-- he meant Jacob. Or maybe he just wanted to see if she would care if he got drunk. If that would matter to her.

When Bella didn't say a word and left him there. At that time Ashton felt like she chose Jacob over him. Ahhhh, this hangover. His e

    Bella was strolling in the drawing room while Varonica was making breakfast in the kitchen with which Bella rarely helped her out becuase let's just say she sucked at cooking and Varonica didn't want her kitchen to get burned down so soon. Bella took out her mobile and thought to call him as it was 10:30 am now. She wasn't sure now if he was coming now. What if he was joking when he called cause he was drunk yesterday or what if he forgot all about it. The guy was totally wasted after all. Call him! Her sub consciousness told him and without giving it any second thought Bella reached for her mobile in her pocket. She pulled it out and called him.

    The drive was silent or rather awkward as no one them said a word. It felt like the heavy quietness had engulfed their surrounding but there was a strom going on in their hearts. Both wanted to say so much but the words died before rolling out of their lips. Ashton was cussing at himself for everything and anything while Bella really wanted to know why Ashton was so late, earlier she was worried but now she was curious.But she killed her curiosity.And he murdered his thoughts.During whole car ride Ashton kept his eyes fixed at front and Bella stared blankly outside at the passing trees as if the trees were something so fascinating. The car stopped with a jerk when they reached their destination. Bella looked at the restaurant being awestruck. Of course riches were on another level. The exterior was so extravagant that Bella wonder how was interior going to be? And heck if she was going to be disappointed.The restaurant from the inside was equally appealing and fantastic. Wide hall

    After the never seem to end meeting ended Ashton didn't waste any more time and directly went to the parking lot where his car was parked but not before bidding his best friend Jason bye. And it wasn't like Bella had any other option because Ashton had drove her here so she didn't have a ride to go back home so she followed him nonetheless.Although she could have gotten a taxi to get back home but firstly it would look kind of rude to do so and if it would have been any other day honestly then she wouldn't have cared to stomp over Ashton's feelings but right now at the moment she knew something was bothering him, she knew something made him that anxious and upset so she decided to not to be so cruel for once and quietly follow him. And secondly apart of her mind told her that she might get a chance to ask him about what got his mood falling like that.Even if she shouldn't.Even if she couldn't.Still she cared about him.Bella hated herself to let herself get so caught up in Ashton'

    " Oh my god. What should I do? Ambulance... Yes I need to take them to hospital. Hello... Yes.. There are two injured people..." the worried rant of the guy was all Bella heard before her eyes started closing, the vague figure of the guy disappeared and darkness engulfed. As she lost her consciousness. Soon enough the sound of siren cut through the silence, ambulance had arrived.Their unconscious bodies were lifted and put on the stretchers. Their bodies slumped loosely while the guy who helped them followed them to the hospital to check if they were okay. If it weren't for him something more worst have happened but luckily nothing had happened to Bella. She had just lost her consciousness because of the sudden shock.The sudden shock of their car being collided into the tree, which had her head throbbing in pain due to the impact. The sudden shock of seeing Ashton in pool of blood. The scenerio unfolding in front of her eyes had her trembling and so it was so obvious that she couldn

    Minutes later the door was opened. Bella raised her head to get a glimpse of the person who stepped out. The person was definitely not very young but not too old either. His hair black and body well maintained even at his age was something quite commendable and he had that dominating aura around him. Bella didn't knew who he was but whoever he was Ashton sure didn't give a damn about it and it was so obvious by the way he treated him like some crap.She restained herself to use the word dog poop just to be a little respectful even if she didn't say anything out loud.Bella flinched when the said person slammed the door mercilessly. He was in a foul mood and maybe upset too. She couldn't pinpoint. She stared at his back until his figure was disappeared in the corridors and she couldn't see anything after that expect the empty benches. She gulped down in fear, afraid to face what led behind those now shut doors, Ashton. Was he still fuming in anger? Had he calmed down yet? But Bella did

    "Let me help you." she cleared her throat and again took the sandwich from the plate to feed him. Although her cheeks were flaring red in embarrassment but she knew she just couldn't leave him starving so swallowing that bitter embarrassment down her throat and neared sandwich close to his mouth, waiting for him to eat. Ashton couldn't express what he was feeling right now. He was so overwhelmed and happy and he could help it but grin widely to his heart's content before taking a bite. "This idiot!!" Bella yelled in frustration. Ashton was the one to get injured and he might think Bella had become his personal nerse or servant rather than a secretary. She sighed in exhaustion as the boy wasn't even letting her breath for a minute. It was better to never treat him nicely. She regret feeding him that freaking sandwiche a week ago. "Bell- Miss Evans..." and there he called for her again. She stomped her feet on the ground and walked to his cabin while faking a smile. "Yes sir." she r

    "We are here." Bella announced to a half asleep Ashton when they reached the so - called - favourite - restaurant of Ashton's choice. All the traces of slight sleep he had in his eyes were thrown out of the window. This time instead of letting Ashton struggle with the passenger door as it would waste her more time so she came close to his seat. Close enough that he could feel her breath fanning his face lightly getting Aston completely frozen at his place while Bella bent a little over and opened the door for him. "Here you go." Bella smiled totally unaware of how she was giving Ashton shivers. The poor guy coughed feeling his throat dry. Ashton walked out of the car hurriedly to get some air so he could breath and also to hide his burning red face. "When am I suppose to come to pick you sir?" Bella asked Ashton in her fake sweet voice as mentally she had stabbed him a thousand times for keeping her busy since earlier and now even killing her lunchtime. Besides now that she was free

    Bella couldn't be anymore happier as finally the D-DAY was only five days away. Even though Ashton had still not stopped pestering her with his petty request or so - called - orders on the name of having a plastered hand. But Bella was just too enthralled to see how the whole planning and more over the proposal will go to be too bothered by Ashton's annoying behaviour. And what could be more better than a beach for a proposal right. Specially cherry on the top was the fact that the beach she was about to set on was the exact place where Jason and Rebecca had met for the very time. Well you can't blame her for screaming. Right now she was packing her bags to catch the fight to California. She couldn't wait to see how this whole thing would turn out because a) she had always been a sucker for romantic proposals and b) it was her first time on working something like this, working on setting up a place for proposal. Beaches beings attraction pulling her under too. Well everyone has a d

    Bella felt like someone had splashed her with ice cold water. As if someone had swept the ground from her feet, and she was falling to a never-ending tunnel. She couldn't believe what Ashton just told her would be an understatement. She was beyond shocked to the point that words certainly couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. And even though she had been trying to run away from him, hide from him all this time. Because she never wanted him back in her life. But now that she heard that he might marry some other girl, she felt like the man was slipping away from her. Going away from her life. And that's what she wanted all along. But now that it seemed to be coming true, she didn't like it? “So will you marry her?” Bella didn’t know why her heart was thudding loudly, ready to jump out its ribcage. She didn’t know if she wanted to hear the answer to that question. Her lips trembled with every word as she questioned him. And the question rolled out in impulse before she coul

    "Shouldn't you be having breakfast right now? What are you doing here? Did you miss me so much that you followed me here? Awww! Bella, I didn't know you were this clingy." Ashton uttered while giving Bella a teasing smirk which did nothing except making her want to face-palm herself. This boy was seriously impossible."I shouldn't have bothered. I don't even know, why did I even ask!" Bella grunted and turned around in disbelief, ready to go back inside.Here she was so worried about him that she couldn't even swallow another bite of her sandwich and eventually gave up at pretending to be fine with Ashton leaving the table while fuming. But now the boy was cracking jokes. For god's sake what was wrong with him.Bella knew him well enough to know that he didn't like showing his emotions in front of others especially when something is hurting him rather, he would throw and break stuff like a little kid with tantrums. Either he would keep a poker face all the time or his veins would be p

    "Ashton-!! What the hell are you doing?!" Bella shouted as her eyes widened at the sight of Ashton punching the wall vigorously like a mad man and Bella shuddered at it. She couldn't believe at what her eyes were witness. It was if the old Ashton was back. That monster Ashton.Surely Ashton was still an arrogant, narcissistic bastard who didn't give a fuck about others but she couldn't remember the last time when she had she seen the MONSTER ASHTON, the real monster fueling with rage and burning down everything coming his way. The monster Ashton who loved shattering things when in pain."Ashton- ASHTON!! ASHTON STOP IT." Bella could care less about staying away and avoiding Ashton at the moment as her feet marched towards own their own accord. Running quickly, she held his hand to stop him from hitting the wall anymore."Let go you fuck-..." Ashton yelled but his words died down in his throat when he saw who had dared to grab his hand. Of course, it couldn't have been anyone else but

    Never in her life Bella had ever been this scared to eat breakfast with others. In fact, the chirpy girl she is, she had always enjoyed sitting together with her friends and family to eat with them and talk about anything and everything during that time which all of them spend together. But right now, to say she was terrified to even step out of her room was an understatement.Because she was embarrassed to death, she couldn't believe that she was drunk to the point that she was ready to lose herself in the electric current she felt with her body close to his. And the worst part, she was the one to initiate the physical intimacy and ironically Ashton was the one sane one to not take advantage of her intoxicated state. She had never felt this ashamed.Sure she liked how their bodies molded as one, how his lips felt on hers, how his strong arms wrapped around her into a warm embrace filling her up with a sense of security and maybe care, love? But that wasn't the point. The whole scenar

    The most hardest thing for Bella was going to be to face Ashton after what blunder she had done. Regardless of her being drunk yesterday night or not. She still didn't know how to confront the man and what for.Like what could she possibly say. Her mind had short circuited and she couldn't think of any justifiable or at least convincing statement for her actions. For fuck's sake she couldn't comprehend it herself."We should forget it. Whatever happened yesterday. I mean you were drunk so were I. It was a mistake. Let's get past it, after all its a new day. New beginning. So, let's be cool about it and pretend like it never happened and be merry." Bella was trying to come up with a speech as she dried her hair with the blow dryer."Look, I am sorry Ashton. I was too wasted yesterday, I wasn't in my senses. What happened shouldn't have happened, frigging shit I shouldn't have come to your room to begin with. I just want to apologize for that. Can we go back to we were before that?" yea

    "Ahh, my head feels like it will come burst." Bella was groaning as her head throbbed. It felt like someone was hammering nails in her head with no mercy. She was twisting and turning in bed to hide her face from the blaring sunlight which was piercing through the window but she felt as if she was encaged, a weight around her waist. And damn, the pillow was so uncomfortable. Aren't pillows supposed to be fluffy and soft, why this one was rock hard?The more Bella tried to stir in her sleep the more she felt like she was being pulled. Pulled towards something or someone, closer and closer. She felt a ticklish sensation as if someone was breathing close to her face and she started to freak out when she heard faint snores. It had her eyes open in an instant like cold water was thrown at her. Well, the situation in front of her surely gave her chills and her blood ran cold. She was all snuggled up to Ashton."Shoot! Why the hell am I freaking cuddling with Ashton. Heck, What have you don

    "So who's going to start?" Bella slurred while her doe eyes stared at the person sitting right next to her with anticipation so how could Ashton could have denied when she seemed so hopeful and moreover when this time she was the one taking the initiative."Ermm.. I don't mind you can start." a smile adorned his face when Bella clasped her hands together in delight it sure was infectious because Ashton couldn't stop but mirror her excitement."Okay let me think." Bella cutely pursed her lips while tapping her finger under her chin in an attempt to rile her brain to come up with something cool and fascinating unaware of the fact that Ashton was already admiring her with the game being the last thing on his mind right now. All he could see at the moment was her it was as if everything else was blurred and sure enough drunk Bella had her own charm that held him captive."Never have I ever pole danced." Bella chided while looking at Ashton as her eyes blew wild when he took a sip from the

    Ashton for sure was planning to get drunk and totally wasted because too many things were going on in his life for him to stay calm. Feeling always at the edge he felt like this party was his perfect chance to forget about how much of a fucked up he was. Well it was just a plan but that was until his father decided to call him, it just made his plan into something not out of choice but something he just had to do. Going back to where their barbecue was set up, Ashton picked up a whisky bottle from there again and took a swig. A groan escaped his lips at the sensation of whisky going down while burning his throat along the way. He wanted to enjoy this moment but there he was sitting at a corner with nothing except gloominess."How about some drink games?" Jenny suggested with a grin."Yeah there can't be any party without games." Kimberly joined in the agreement with enthusiasm while Sam too nodded in agreement and because Bella had enough of being copped up in her shell, she was ready

    Tiny sand particles tickling his feet a little and leaving a cooling sensation, it felt good. He looked at his left where sat a bottle of whiskey which he picked up before ditching the so called party, the very bottle that he was so intrigued to mash someone's head with ahem - Sam. Well whiskey was more valuable. So instead he decided to make a better use of it which was looking at the waves crashing at a distance he brought the bottle to his lips and chugged it down while enjoying the view. Indeed a better use if not the best. Sure the things were going haywire but maybe he could let be for tomorrow and just listen to heart beating rhythmically with once waves. Even if just for a little moment, his heart felt at ease."What are you doing here?" Ashton turned his neck so fast at the familiar voice that he was sure it would have strained while he stared at the person standing in front of him with an array of emotions. "Nothing just..." he let his words float in the air without any cl
