S M I L E (Lashton)

F O U R

"Ashton." Luke whispered, shaking me awake from my sleep. "Wake up. I want to show you something." I arose from my bed and he took my hand, leading me out of the man made hut.

"Where are we going." I whispered.

"Somewhere special. I want to give you something." He said, he lead us out into the forest a bit before stopping. "Close your eyes."

I closed them, feeling silly. "Why?"

"Because I am going to kiss you." He said lovingly. "I really like you."

My heart stopped, but began to race. "K-kiss me?" I exclaimed. I sucked in my breath, I'm not sure if I want it or not.

"It will be fine." He laughed. "Just, just stay there."

"And why must we do this in the early hours?"

"Well...I don't know. Your special, I have never done this." His voice was stern. "Now Ashton. You can't tell anyone. Or else I will be banished." He took my hand once again.

I nodded. "I won't. I promise."

"Ashton." I heard leaves crush underneath his feet as he steps closer "Do you like me?"

I bit my bottom lip, my cheeks were red I bet. Do I like him? He makes me feel butterflies when he touches me, sometimes I think he's crazy, and sometimes I think I just want to kiss him. I make my decision and nod. "I have never wanted to kiss someone before."

"Me either"

"Lay out your hands Ashton." I can barely make out what he's saying.

I do what I am told. He places a round object into my hand. "Opwn." He demandsI open my eyes and chuckle. It's an acorn.

'What!?" He yells. "What's so funny?"

"This!" I lift up the acorn. "It's not a kiss!"

"Well, that's what Liam told me." He mutters and kicks the ground.

"Luke, a kiss is when you put your lips onto someone else's. It can be anywhere actually." I brush my curls out of my eyes.

Luke plays with his bracelets. "Well, can I kiss you now, for real this time?"

My first kiss. "Yes."

He steps closer. "I told myself I was never going to fall in love. But I think I may be wrong." He lifts up my chin slowly and presses our lips together. I melt into it and it feels as if I'm in the clouds again flying.

"Why did you choose me?" I ask after we pull apart smiling at the ground.

"Because." He breaths. "I've told you. Your special, different. One of a kind Ashton."

"How do you know when your in love exactly Luke? I have never loved anyone before."

"Neither have I. And I think I love you, that makes two of us." He smiles at me.

"I can't be in love." I shake my head. "Not with you."

His face turns into complete sadness. "Why not Ashton!? Did I do something wrong?"

I shake my head, "this isn't real Luke! It's all a dream! You're just my imagination and tomorrow I'll wake up in my actual bed realizing it was all just a lie my stupid head made up. Do you actually think I believe in all of this crazy shit?" I swore for the first time. "Wake up Lucas! Fairies aren't real! Grow up, it's time to live in the real world!"

He looks like I just slapped him in the face, his voice booms throughout the forest. "How could you say that!?" He screams. "I thought you liked me! If you want to leave all of this, all of us, behind, than go right ahead! I'm not stopping you anymore!" He stomps away leaving me behind. "If you think this isnt real, good luck waking up, But without me have fun finding your way home!" He calls out from behind him.

I sink down into the forest floor and begin silently crying for what seems like hours. I want to leave, I dont want to be here any longer. When the sun starts to rise I lift up and dust myself off and run throughout the trees. Off in the distance through the bushes I see something big and brown.

I walk toward it, it's surrounded in water.

It's a ship. I walk closer to it, thinking it can bring me home. Maybe they will tell me how to wake up from this coma, or maybe this place is real and they'll show me my way back home.

AW SHIT
