Jasmine's POV

Ok I'm being dead serious. This chapter sucks.

It had only been two days since I was released from the hospital. Although Ant and I asked to come back to the show, Lin forced us to take two weeks of paid vacation.

"You wanna go out to lunch?" Ant asked. We were cuddling on the couch watching Friends.

"Sure." I said, though I didn't want to leave his arms. I got up and walked to my room to change out of my sweatpants.

"Let's go." Ant said, grabbing my hand and pulling me quickly to the door.

"Hungry?" I joked.

"Umm... YEAH! I haven't eaten all day!" He said. I laughed as he pulled me out the door and down the hallway.

We ate lunch quickly and went to an ice cream shop.

Ant ordered for us and I followed him to a bench nearby.

We chatted happily as we ate. Everyone so often, Ant would glance around. I knew what he was looking for.

"Ant, Noah's gone." I said the next time he did it. He sighed.

"I know but you can't blame me for worrying."

We talked for a few more minutes and then sat in a comfortable silence. Suddenly, Ant looked at me and burst into laughter.

"What?" I asked. He bent over, still laughing. "Whaaaat?"

"You have ice cream on your nose." He said.

"Where?" I asked, my cheeks flushing. I wiped the top of my nose, trying to get it off.

"No... here." He kissed me on the tip of my nose. I giggled.

"Well you have ice cream on your lips." I lied unconvincingly. He chuckled and leaned in. Our lips met for a quick minute.

"You just wanted to kiss me didn't you?" He joked.

"Yeah." I admitted.

We finished our ice cream and decided to go for a walk to a nearby park.

"Come on!" I yelled, pulling Ant to a willow tree. We laid down at the trunk and I curled into his chest.

We sat there for a few minutes before I got up. I gathered a handful of small flowers and wove them together in a way I remembered from when I was a kid, making a colorful flower crown. While Ant was lost in thought, I placed it on his head.

"You look like a pretty princess." I said in a child-like voice.

"Thanks." He chuckled, kissing me on the forehead. We sat in a comfortable silence before both drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

——

I woke up an hour later to loud thunder. Rain started to drizzle when I remembered that Ant and I were outside.

"Ant wake up." I yelled. He got up quickly, recognizing our situation.

"COME ON!!!" Ant laughed. We ran, hand-in-hand, out from under the tree and out of the park. By this time it had started pouring.

We were soaked when we got up to our apartment. I ran and laid down on our couch.

"Jas! You're all wet! Get off the couch!" Ant complained.

"Bite me." I responded, unable to form a good argument.

"Where?" Ant said, smirking slightly. I got up and pushed him down on the couch.

"You're such a child." I said as I walked to our room. We took showers quickly and returned to the couch.

I curled up into Ant's chest as he scrolled through Netflix, looking for a movie for us to watch.

"How 'bout this?" Ant asked, selecting a movie that appeared to be slightly too scary for my taste. I happen to get scared extremely easily. I thought back to all the times Ant did something special for me.

"Sure!" I said reluctantly. He happily played the movie.

About a fifteen minutes into the movie, the first jump-scare came. I buried my face in Ant's chest and hugged him tightly.

"You okay?" He questioned.

"Y-Yeah." I stuttered. Ant looked at me with worry but quickly turned back to the movie.

Another scare happened around two minutes later. I jumped up slightly and unsuccessfully tried to suppress a scream. I turned from the screen and rested my chin on Ant's shoulder. He reached down and paused the movie.

"You're not okay." He stated. I smiled weakly at him.

"I don't like horror movies." I admitted.

"Well you should've told me. We didn't have to watch that." I grinned.

"Thanks baby." I said, hugging him tightly.

We moved into our room and Ant put on Grease. We had an amazing time singing and dancing with the music.

I laughed as he spun me into him and we fell onto our bed. I stared at him and my eyes darted around his face.

"What are you doing?" Ant asked.

"Trying to count you're freckles." I answered. He chuckled.

"I don't think that's possible." He said. I laughed and ran my fingers through his curly hair.

We sat in a comfortable silence, kissing each other every so often but mostly just staring at each other lovingly.

"You're eyes are beautiful." Ant whispered. I smiled slightly and kissed him.

"Thanks baby." I said softly.

We spent around another five minutes like that before Ant got up to change into is pajamas, which just meant he put on comfortable pants and took of his shirt. I then ran to go to the bathroom and changed.

I jumped into our bed next to him and we cuddled next to each other under the covers.

"Goodnight babygirl." Ant murmured as he drifted off.

"Goodnight Ant"

——

Around an hour later, I was still up. The thought of Noah had been keeping me up at night and I refused to tell Ant because he would just worry about me.

Ant turned in his sleep so he was facing away from me. I smiled as I traced the words I love you on his freckled back. He turned just as I finished and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to him.

"I love you too." He said. I smiled up at him.

"Why are you still up?" Ant asked, pushing me away from him slightly so he could look in my eyes. I turned away from him.

"Umm... I just couldn't fall asleep. I have a lot on my mind." He looked at me with disbelief but pulled me into him again.

"Ok... well goodnight babygirl. Love you."

"Love you too." I mumbled. In Ant's strong embrace, I felt protected and I could finally fall asleep.

——

~~~~~~~~~~

"Anthony doesn't love you." Noah growled.

"Why should I believe you?" I asked, taking a few small steps toward him.

"You don't have to. Believe him" Ant suddenly appeared next to him. (Yes I realize that it is very obvious that this is a dream.) His arm was draped around his ex's shoulder. Both of them smirked evilly at me.

"Yeah you're actually really annoying." He said. He kissed Emma on her forehead just to make me upset. I attempted to glare at him, but I felt tears prick my eyes.

"Then why'd you date me for ten months?" I asked, desperately trying to keep my voice steady.

"It was good for the press. Fans loved it. Fan fictions were and will be written." I held up my hand to get him to stop.

"Ok I get it." My voice cracked slightly, making Ant, Emma, and Noah smile. Ant moved toward me so his sneering face was very close to mine.

"The thing is, I never loved you."

~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up in a cold sweat, relieved to see Ant laying next to me.

I couldn't keep my sobs quiet enough so I attempted to sneak out of bed into the bathroom. I had only made it two steps when Ant sat up.

"A dónde vas mi amor?" He mumbled, too tired to speak in English. (Translation: Where are you going my love?) I managed to piece together what he said from the Spanish that he taught me.

"The bathroom." I responded. I must not have sounded quite like myself because Ant jumped out of bed and jogged to me, pulling his hair quickly into a messy bun.

"What's wrong?" He asked, wrapping his arm around my waist and steering me back towards our bed. We sat down and I laid my head on his shoulder.

"I had a nightmare that's all." I said softly. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom. You go back to sleep."

"No no no mi alma y mi vida." He murmured before kissing me quickly. I looked at him slightly confused.

"My soul and my life." He explained. I gave him a small smile.

"Go to sleep Ant." I stood up. Ant pulled me back down on his lap.

"Do you think you could tell me about your nightmare? " He asked in a calming tone. I sighed and turned my head slightly to look at him.

I explained the nightmare to Ant, my eyes welling with tears. When I finished, Ant wrapped me in a tight hug.

"Princesa, I'm never gonna leave you. I hope you know that." He whispered in my ear. (Translation: Princess) (Also CrystalTwinkling I won't use the name again .)

"It- It just worried me. A lot. I love you so much." I said, shaking with sobs. Ant tightened his hold on me and let me cry into his shoulder for a few minutes.

"Thanks Ant." I sniffed. "Well I'm gonna stay up for a little bit. You go to sleep."

"Don't be silly, I want to stay up with you." Ant said. I grinned at him. He got up to turn on the tv in our room and I got a good look at him for the first time since we woke up.

"Shit he's hot." I whispered to myself, looking at Ant's shirtless back and messy hair as he flipped through shows on Netflix.

"What was that?" He asked, turning around and smirking.

"Nothing." I answered innocently, looking up at the ceiling. Ant dropped the remote and turned to fully face me. I screamed as he ran and jumped on the bed, pushing me over and kissing me roughly. I kissed back, smiling slightly.

We broke apart a minute later.

"You're pretty hot too." He murmured. I grinned at him.

"Thanks baby."

We didn't fall asleep until 5 am and spent the next day taking many naps and being constantly tired. We were miserable.

But there is no one I would rather be miserable with.

I'm so sorry I really wanted to get this done sooner but I had a lot of work and I just discovered Glee and A Very Potter Musical. I'm also kinda sad I didn't get a good part in my school musical. I'm seriously gonna do my best to update more often.

Also this chapter is awful. I had no time to edit this and don't try to deny it.

Character you'd travel with.

Angelica. She's pretty smart and all together awesome.

Have a great day
