Alright, I'm back with chapter 10. Now, I wish I could keep chatting but I have another story that I have to update, two new stories that I am going to post and a limited amount of time. So let's do this thing! I got three reviews last chapter:

foreverby1self said:OK. So, as soon as I finished this chapter I put down my phone *slammed it down really* I felt like such a 2yr old ,because you gave me yet another CLIFFHANGER. I almost threw a tantrum. Literally, I almost threw a tantrum. Although, what's terrible is I live your cliffhangers ,because I get sucked in. Also, your the only author that updates on their stories. Just by you updating your becoming my favorite author. I can't wait till the next chapter. So, you know what you need help with anything you just let me know and I'll be there.

Reply: Sorry for the cliffhanger but, know your not alone. I know your pain. Trust me I've had a lot of almost tantrums over cliffhanger. So yeah, anyway, thank you so much for saying that I am becoming your favorite author! Also, a HUGE thanks for the offering to help if I need it. It's greatly appreciated! :) I hope you enjoy this chapter!

It has now been exactly three days since I saw Ashton last. It's currently 9:34 pm, my parents are asleep, and I am still cleaning up the kitchen from a late dinner. My parents had to work late and by the time they had gotten home, all they wanted to do was eat and go to bed. Lucky for them, I had already made dinner. However, I was now seemingly alone again and as I cleaned the kitchen in silence, I felt my thoughts drift to the last time I had seen Ashton. I remembered everything vividly. I remember the beach, all the games we had played. I remember the excited feeling I got when the others had left and it was just me and him, sitting there at sunset, blissfully alone. Then I remember leaning in, going for one of those amazing kisses. Then he was gone, walking away, the look in his eyes. I will not, cannot, forget that look. I can't place it, what emotion it might have been.

A stinging pain shooting up one of my fingers brought me back to reality and I realize that I have been wiping down the same spot of counter space for five minutes. Turns out, the shooting pain is from an open safety pin that had been laying on the counter. As I lift my hand and pull the sharp tip of the pin out of my finger, I wince. I walk through a doorway and into the living room where my mom keeps her sewing kit. I place it in the correct spot and make my way back to the kitchen. When I come back to the doorway, though, I pause. Part of me thinks this is silly but, I do so anyway. I want to remember every detail of this small kitchen because soon, I will graduate. Which means that soon, I will be leaving. Now, I guess most people would want to remember their childhood bedroom or the small tan colored couch that was known to be theirs and theirs alone. I felt differently though, I felt that this was the most important room to remember. It was where I learned to cook, where I did my homework for all those years. I'd sit at the counter doing my homework while watching my mother as she stood across the room at the stove making whatever it was we were having for dinner. Those were the things that I wanted to remember and while I still had a while before I had to leave for college, or whatever life's next big adventure was, I wanted to make sure that I would remember this place. My happy place.

For now, though, memorizing anything else would have to wait because it is getting late now and I am extremely tired. I turn off the light and head for my room. It's 10:30 pm as I close my door and start to unmake my bed so that I can lay down. I finally get my bed how I want it and turn on my lamp. I'm getting ready to climb into bed when I stop. Something doesn't feel right. I look down and immediately realize what's wrong; I never put my pj's on. It urn to my nightstand, dig through a drawer and grab some sleeping clothes, and go to the bathroom to change. When I get back though, I hear someone knocking at my window. For a moment, I fell myself getting really excited. Maybe it's Ashton! Maybe he finally came back! But, then again, there's a part of me that doesn't believe that. Now I'm standing in front of the closed, and locked, window. Should I open it?

Sorry for the cliffhanger but, it had to be done. And if you want to see what happens then you need to review! See ya!
