Wests' POV

I sat with the New Directions as Nikki told us what happened, but I wasn't really paying attention because Ash is sitting in Skylar's lap. But if they're dating then I'm totally cool with it...okay maybe not…I've been trying to get Ash to like me since forever, but now she's dating Skylar I guess. Just. My. Luck. I glared over at him, making sure that he noticed.

About an hour later, everyone left Bailey and Skylar's house except Ashley and I. Skylar disappeared into his room a while ago and hasn't came out for a long time. Ash, Bailey, and I were sitting in a small group on the floor just talking about nothing.

"Um, where's the bathroom?" I asked kind of awkwardly.

"Second door on the left up stairs" Ash replied and I nodded. They're right it is like Ash lives here! Then a pang of jealousy hit me because of Baileys brother. I shrugged it off and groaned. I walked up the stairs and began walking and passed a room with a crack of light coming through the half opened door. I stopped walking and peered through the door. My eyes widened at what I saw. Skylar was straddling Christian making out with their shirts off, with a loud gasp coming from me both boys looked up. Skylar's eyes widened and his face began turning red. He squeaked and fell backwards off the bed scrambling to find his shirt.

"West! What the hell are you doing in here?!" Skylar squealed, his head peeping over the edge of the bed.

"I-you-hi- you're cheating on Ash! With him!"I yelled, pointing at Christian who had a confused look on his face. Skylar began shaking his head with laughter. I gave him a weird look and he laughed even harder.

"O-oh my g-god hahaha you think I'm dating A-ash?!" Skylar said between fits of laughter and I nodded furiously.

"No West I'm not I'm gay and its kind of obvious, I thought I made that clear! And I know you like her its painfully obvious, you practically drool over her and plus I'm dating Christian now! As you can tell…"

"So... wha? Wow, but how-what? How did you-?" I stutter and Skylar begins laughing.

"I know you like her, pretty much everyone knows, except for Ash of course!" Skylar said with a giggle.

"But... does she like me?" I asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you that."

"Why don't you just tell her you like her?" Christian asked. "I told Skylar I liked him, was it scary? Yes it was, but sometimes its the best thing to do cause in the end it could be the greatest thing that happened to you." Christian said staring lovingly at Skylar who was grinning and gave him a kiss. I nodded and smiled at the couple.

"Thanks dudes I will. Just not today but thank you!" They both grinned and nodded.

"Make sure you get back to me on that!" Skylar yelled as I walked down the hall back downstairs. I smiled.

"Will do!" I shouted back and walked back downstairs to the girls, who were in the middle of a food/water fight. I shook my head, chuckled a bit, and joined in.

TUESDAY AFTER SCHOOL!

Ashley's POV

I walked out of the last class of the day with Bailey. We were walking to our lockers and getting our stuff, when she started walking ahead of me.

"You coming?" She asked, holding the door open for me.

"No, no you go along without me" I replied to her with a small smile on my face.

"You sure?" I knew that look. It was the Ash-I'm-Worried-About-You-Pleas-Tell-Me-What's-Wrong look. I get that one a lot.

"Yes I am, so stop worrying!" I giggled and walked the opposite way towards the choir room, knowing that Mr. Shue would be gone by now.

I saw the band players starting to pack their stuff.

"Wait! I have something I wanna sing, would you mind staying please?" They just nodded and began playing after I told them what I wanted to sing.

ASH:

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer…

Wests POV

I opened the door to exit the locker room, since I had just finished football practice. I was on my way out of the school until I heard a voice. I stopped dead in my tracks and started walking towards the voice. I popped my head in the choir room and see Ash singing. She looked absolutely gorgeous, with the sunlight catching her hair in just the right way, letting me see the subtle streaks of gold and red. She was looking down at her lap, so I couldn't see those eyes that I could easily get lost in.

ASH:

…I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

She collected her stuff, thanked the band members for staying behind, and started heading my way. I tried to walk out but she caught me.

"West?" I turned around. "O-oh my g-god you -uh- y-you weren't s-supposed t-to hear t-hat" she gasped and started blushing, making her look even more perfect.

"Well I thought you were amazing! So, who was that about?" I asked, almost not wanting to know the answer.

Her eyes widened and she blushed again, looking at the ground. "Yozoydu" she mumbled quietly.

"Who?"

"You..." she said, finally looking up at me, her Ocean Blue eyes staring straight through me. I look at her shocked. 'Could I be any more oblivious? How would I not know! I'm so stupid!' I thought to myself.

"Well have you ever thought that I have feelings for you? Cause I do." I said before thinking about it, and then I nodded. "Yeah... Yeah I do like you, no.. love you." I said smiling brightly.

Ashley's POV

I gape at him 'Did he just say what I think he said?!' I thought and did a mental happy dance.

He lifted my chin up then leaned towards me, his beautiful eyes never once straying form mine. Our faces were inches apart before he said,

" I love you" then he pressed his lips on mine. I melted completely into the kiss, sparks going off behind my eyelids. I wanted to stay this way forever but there was something I had to do. I pulled away first and looked at him, smiling softly at his happy expression.

"I love you too"
