Chapter 12

-----HUGE AUTHORS ANNOUNCEMENT So, I know that Ashley and Joe aren't 'officially' together yet, but they're kissing and shit because they're basically together, but not 100% official, if you're picking up what I'm putting down. Lmao. Anyway, enjoy ;)-----We said goodbye to Jenna and Charlie, and went back to my house. It was 8:00pm now, so I decided to get a shower. "Hey, I'm gonna go get a quick shower", I said to Joe, as I grabbed pajamas, and my toiletry items. He nodded, and sat on the bed, with his laptop.

I walked into the bathroom and grabbed a towel from the cabinet underneath of the sink, and sat it down on the toilet. I undressed myself, and turned on the shower. I stepped into the shower, and jumped a little as the hot water hit my back. It was soothing. After washing my hair, and my body, I turned off the water and got out of the shower. I wrapped my body in my towel, and grabbed my tooth brush.

I got dressed into my pajama shorts, and black cami, then blow dried my hair. When it was all dry, I put it up into a bun, and walked out of the bathroom and back into the guest room that Joe and I were staying in. He had his earbuds in, and was facing the other way, editing a video. I decided to give him a scare. So I snuck up on him and jumped on him and yelled "boo." He didn't jump at all, he just took out his earbuds and looked at me with a 'wow your so scary'  face. "I didn't scare you?", I asked, crossing my arms. He shook his head, and returned editing.

"Ashley, could you come here for a moment?", My mom yelled up to me. "Yeah, give me a second", I yelled back to her. I took out one of Joe's earbuds from his ear, and said "hey I'll be right back." He nodded, so I walked out of the guest room, and down the steps. "I'm in the kitchen", my mom yelled. I walked into the kitchen, and sat up onto the counter. My mom was making cookies, and they smelt like heaven. "So whatcha need?", I asked her, as she got the cookies out of the oven. "Well, I was wondering when you are going to the hospital to visit your dad", she said taking off her oven mits and turning towards me. "Well I want to go tomorrow, and I was going to take Joe with me, if you think that would be okay with dad", I said scooting back a little bit. "That should be fine, visiting hours start from noon to 7pm", she said walking over to the fridge. "Okay", I said as I grabbed a bottle of water. 

I got up and went to the guest room, seeing Joe, asleep. I woke him up to tell him my plans for tomorrow. "Listen, we are going to go to the hospital tomorrow around noon to visit my dad, then we can go do something, okay?", I asked him, as he turned over and looked at me. He nodded and kissed me goodnight. I decided to go to bed too, so I plugged in my phone and hopped into bed. I snuggled up next to him, and slowly fell asleep.

-----

I woke up in Joe's arms, not able to move. I grabbed his arm and slowly moved it, and crawled out of his hold, making sure I didn't wake him up. I got up, and went down stairs to make coffee. I looked at the time on the clock; 6:45am. Ugh why do i always get up so early? I grabbed a 'Dunkin Donuts' K-Cup for the Kurig and plopped it inside the part it goes in, and pushed the button. I sat there in silence, watching the hot black coffee pour into my Starbucks mug. When it was finished, I grabbed the French Vanilla creamer from the fridge and poured it in. I grabbed a spoon and mixed the creamer into the coffee.

I walked into the living room and turned on Netflix, while I waited for everyone to get up. I couldn't find anything to watch, so I randomly selected Mean Girls. 

It was about 8:00am now, and someone was up because I heard them in the kitchen, and the kurig running. My mom walked out of the kitchen, mug in her hand and sat down on the recliner. We just talked and talked about how my life has been with moving to England, if I made any new friends, and how my YouTube is going.

It was 10 now, so I decided to go upstairs and wake up Joe. I put my coffee mug in the sink, and made my way upstairs, and to the guest room. I saw Joe laying there, sound asleep. He was so cute when he was asleep. I walked over and sat on the bed next to him stroking his messy bed head hair. "Good morning love", he said in his sexy morning voice that could just make me melt. "Good morning", I said smiling as he slowly fluttered his eyes open. He leaned up and kissed me. I stood up and decided to get ready.

First I got dressed. I put on black Victoria's Secret leggings, and a hoodie that said my old high schools name on it. I took my hair out of the bun I had in from last night, and brushed it out. I decided to put it into a side braid, and pulled out a few strands on the sides. As for makeup, all I did was put on powder. I didn't put on much because I was just going to the hospital. I brushed my teeth, then went in and sat on my phone, checking social media. Joe walked in, done getting ready. He had a plain white tee, and black skinny jeans. "You look nice", he said sitting down next to me giving me a kiss on the cheek. I smiled and continued scrolling through my Instagram feed.

It was 11:30 now, so we decided to leave. I took my moms car, and drove to the hospital. When we got there, I braced myself to be ready to take in what is about to happen, and what I'm about to see. I grabbed Joe's hand and walked into the hospital. I walked up to the front desk, where a lady, who looked around her late 30's, greeted me. "Hi, I am looking for the room that Mark Roberts is in?", I asked her, letting go of Joe's hand. "Room 213, the 3rd floor", she said smiling. I smiled back and grabbed Joes hand again, walking to the elevator. I stepped in and pushed the button that would take me up to the 3rd floor. Joe looked at me, and cold tell that I was nervous. He pulled me into his side and said, "its okay sweetheart, your okay." I nodded and took a deep breathe as the elevator door opened.

Here goes nothing.

I walked hand in hand with Joe to room 213, where my dad would be. I walked in, and saw my dad laying there asleep. He was pale, and now very skinny. He had no hair, from the first round of chemo he did. I could tell her was in pain. Seeing him laying there in this pain, sick with a deathly disease kills me inside. He looks so sad. So depressed. So sick. I couldn't help but start crying. Joe saw a tear run down my cheek, as he reached and wiped it away. "I'm going to go so you can wake him up and have some alone time with him. Come get me when you want me to come meet him", Joe said as he kissed my forehead and walked out. I walked over to my dad and sat on the chair that was next to his hospital bed. I coughed and my dad woke up. He looked over at me and smiled, "hi honey, when did you get back?",  I could hear the sickness in his voice. I gave him a hug, and sat down in the chair, "I got here yesterday", I said answering his question. We sat and talked and talked, then I brought up Joe. "I have a guy here with me out in the waiting room, would you like to meet him?", I asked. He smiled and nodded. I walked out of my dads hospital room and walked to get Joe.

My dad has always been protective over me when it comes to guys, but he normally takes it easy on them.

I walked back into my dads hospital room with Joe, "dad, this is Joe", I said as I walked over to the hospital bed. My dad stuck out his hand to shake Joes, and Joe gladly took it. "Hello Joe, I'm Mark", my dad said to Joe. "Are you guys together?", My dad asked looked at Joe and I. I went to go speak but Joe beat me to it. "Yes we are", Joe said smiling. I quickly looked at him, as he smiled at me. I'm confused. He never asked me out, and we never made anything official. He told Jenna and Charlie we were together as well. Like I obviously really like him, but he needs to help me out with what we are.

I don't think I can be in a relationship right now.   Wait, yes I can. I can. Joe is my everything right now, and I really like him.

-----

After about 2 hours, Joe and I said goodbye to my dad, and left. When I got into the car, I started it, and we decided to go eat. We went to a place called 'Flo's Crab Shack.'  I've never eaten there before, but I heard it was good.

When we got to the restaurant, Joe and I walked in and the hostess took us to our seat. We ordered our food and drinks, and talked while we waited for our food to come out. "So um why did you tell my dad today that we are together?", I asked him. "Because I was going to ask you out today, during dinner, which is right now", Joe said looking down at his hands. My eyes widened. After a minute of silence, he put his hands up on the table and grabbed mine, "Ashley, would you like to be my girlfriend?", He asked, his face getting redder with every word he said. I felt my face turning red as well. "Yes, I would love too", I said smiling and looking right into Joes eyes. He smiled, and the redness on his face started to go down.

I'm dating Joe Sugg. Wow.
