Memories

Chapter 2

The bell ringed as I opened the door to leave.

"Bye Nancy." I said as cheery as possible.

"Be safe, it's beginning to snow out there!" She called after me.

She was right, solid crystal like snow was falling silently on the ground. I could imagine Alli dancing around as the flakes began to get larger.

*memory*

I would pick up a handful of the soft substance and throw it at Alli, earning a giggle from her. The cutest giggle I had ever heard.

"Your laugh sounds so innocent, it's a nice cover up." I told her jokingly as she told me to shutup and threw a handful of snow at my face.

Wiping most of it off my face, I picked up another handful and ran after her up the road.

After all, it was nearly dark at this time, everyone was at home. Not to mention a few inches of snow now covered the ground.

The snow glistened from the street lights as I ran toward her. She would continuously turn her head and start laughing, running as fast as she possibly could. Standing at only 5 foot tall, she couldn't get very far.

I was feet away from her went she suddenly stopped and formed a snowball in her hands. At this point we both had grins on our faces.

"You won't do it." I told her with a confident smirk.

Before I knew it, the perfectly created snowball she created was now splattered across my chest.

"No you're eating this one." I said, holding up my snowball and running up to her. I began to tickle her waist as she squealed laughing and dropped to the ground.

Taking the opportunity, I sat on top of her and pinned her hands above her head. Continuous laugher fell from her mouth.

"P-Please Ash, it's too cold." She said inbetween laughs.

"It's already done." I replied, rubbing snow across her mouth.

"Ahhhh that's freezing!" She squealed. I let go of her hands and allowed her to wipe it away.

"Okay I'm finished." I told her, standing up and helping her as well.

She stood up and wiped away the snow from her brown furry jacket, which was her favorite. I got it for her birthday weeks ago.

"Ashton?" She asked curiously. Her teeth began to chatter.

"Can I hug you? I'm freezing to death..."

"Of course." I said, pulling her into a hug, rubbing up and down her back to create friction.

She pulled away suddenly and pushed her lips into mine. A sweet, simple kiss. The taste of strawberries lingered on my lips when she pulled away.

"I've been waiting for that all day." She said shyly.

"You should've asked earlier." I said with a smile.

*end of memory*

Just to clear it up, most of the memories are not from the same day as now.

Every place Ashton goes, he remembers a memory from that place.
