Count Me In

Ashton's POV

I got her back.

This time, I'm not letting her go. She's mine for as long as I can keep her, but if she decides to leave me again, I don't know what I'll do. All I know is, is that Hannah Emily Rowland is my saving grace.

***********

I woke up the next morning actually rested. It has been a long time since that happened. I can't remember the last time I've gone to sleep and not tossed and turned. Nothing haunted me last night.

Hannah is changing me.

I roll out of bed and put my glasses on. I only wear them around the house because I hate wearing them in public. I used to get made fun of for them in middle school. Wen I moved up to high school, I got contacts.

I think today is the day that I bring them back out. I'm starting to feel like myself again.

I check my phone. I have a few messages. One from Brit. One from Hannah. A few tweets here and there.

I read Brit's first.

From Britain Elizabeth

Morning dork. :)

This made me smile. I'm so glad that we patched things up. I had really missed my best friend.

To Britain Elizabeth

Morning haha

Next, I open Hannah's text.

From Hannah :)

Morning Ashy poo. :*

I groaned at her nickname. It was cute and all, but it was a little too cute.

I call her just to tell her so.

"Morning, Ashy!"

"Morning, beautiful."

"Sleep well?"

"I did actually, best I've slept in awhile."

"Well that's great."

"Hey Hannah?"

"Yes, Ashton?"

"Would you like to go on a date with me, today?"

"Oh my goodness! Of course! I would love too!"

"Great! I'll pick you up around 11ish?"

"Okay, I'll be ready!"

"Okay, see you later, Hannah Banana!"

"Awe, Ash, don't call me that!"

She laughed into the phone, and it was one of the cutest things I've ever heard.

"Too late!"

I hang up the phone before she has time to fight me. I smile at my little triumph.

Hannah is so adorable. I can't believe some of the things I did to her. Today, I have to show her that I want her and only her.

I get up out of bed and grab some clothes. Black t-shirt, dark green flannel, black skinny jeans and my black vans. Casual but put together.

I take my clothes and go to my bathroom. I strip off my sweatpants and t-shirt and get in the shower. I put my phone on the dock and put it on one of my favorite All Time Low songs.

I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen

When the lights go up
I want to watch the way you take the stage by storm
The way you wrap those boys around your finger
Go on and play the leader
'Cause you know it's what you're good at;
The low road for the fast track
Make every second last
