The Test Subject

The smell of dust and abandonment filled my senses. The cold escaped the room like a plague. The room wasn't actually a green house as much as it is a normal room with a pool in the middle. It was clean, the piercing blue was the only light filling the room. It was surprisingly clean, you could see right to the bottom. A small smile played on my lips as i watched it glow. It illuminated Ashtons face. It made him look like a angel, but if you look into his eyes you would think he was a broken angel from above. "at least we can clean our feet now" i joked, nudging him slightly. I sat by the edge and put my feet in the nice cold water. I looked up at a still Ashton. He was glaring at me, occasionally gulping. "are you going to join me or..." my voice trailed of into silence. He nodded before making his way over to me. He subtly took a seat right next to me. "I say we have about a hour before they realize we're missing, so Ashton whats the plan" I asked kicking my feet about. "we do nothing. We sit here and have the best hour of our life's" he said gripping onto my hand. The butterflies ignited within my stomach. I strangely didn't see anything wrong with that. "okay" i shrugged. I knew how dire the consequences would be and so did he but some how it didn't bother me as long as i was with Ashton. "can you swim?" i asked as i looked at the clear water. It was tempting to just jump in, but i didn't know how to swim. It was a skill I wished i had possessed. "a little, what about you?" he continued the conversation. "I wish" i scoffed. "want me to teach you?"
"I think im afraid of drowning" i excused. Deep in my stomach i did feel fear brewing. This was a new experience that I had never even came close to doing. It was a justified reason for being scared of the beautiful water. "Lily, the first rule of fully living is to do what you're most afraid of doing" Ashton gripped my hand and placed a sweet kiss on the side of my pale hand. I couldn't help but grin. That eased my whole entity. And suddenly his large hand was on my lower back, then my breath hitched. I searched his eyes for some kind of answer but all i got was happiness. The ache in his heart was finally healing.
With all his strength he pushed me into the cold water. My eyesight became increasingly blurry as i searched for a escape. The pressure of the water pushing me down. It was then i realized just how deep the water actually was. Using my undeniable strength i pushed myself up. Instantly my lungs were filled with air. I glared at Ashton who was currently laughing, still siting down. I was shocked to see he wasn't bothered about my panicked state. "what is wrong with you, i could have die--" my voice stopped. I couldn't die, I had no reason to fear anything but i did and that wouldn't budge. "But you didn't. I knew you could do it. You can do anything you want Lily" I stayed afloat as i gripped Ashtons ankle and pulled him in. It was my turn to laugh uncontrollably. I couldn't deny the panic i felt when Ashton didn't come up to the surface as easily as i thought he would. "Ashton?" i mumbled. The water flicked everywhere when i turned my body around. "Ashton this isn't funny" my voice got louder and harsher. "Ashton if this is a prank then---" i was cut of and i felt him pull me under. Still my eyes were blurry but i could see faintly Ashton and his dimples. I smacked his chest slightly before returning back for air. Using my shaking hands i got my hair out of my eyes. He returned safely by side, still laughing. "you're not funny" i said, holding back the oncoming laughter. "you should have seen your face"
"i was scared, Ashton. I was ready to run and get help from guards" I joked. I felt confident enough to lay down. Of course Ashton helped. He gently touched my hips and then my ankle. "you okay?" he asked while steadying my body. "strangely... yes" I slightly laughed. "will you lay with me" i asked shyly. A dimpled grin reassured me. "it'll be my pleasure." He had no trouble laying back and letting the cold water relax his muscles. "i wish we could stay like this forever, in this moment" he broke the silence. I nodded, agreeing. "that would be perfect" My body moved with the soft current of the pool,as did Ashtons. My head hit the side of the pool shortly followed by Ashton. I felt bubbles deep in the pit of my stomach as Ashton gripped the wall either side of me, preventing me from moving. How did we even get here? Yet again my eyes found there way to his lips. I bit mine harshly. I hated yet loved our closeness. His hand removed a strand of wet hair from my face. The hand was placed nearer to my small body. I hated the way he would tease me like this. His nature green eyes grew darker, borderline black. I've never seen him so soft yet so dark. "there's something i really wanted to do for a while now" he mumbled. His right hand caressed my face, slowly i forgot about all the punishments and all the stupid consequences. "I'm scared you wont feel the same" his hot breath tickled my neck. "The first rule of fully living is to do what you're most afraid of, right" i used his words against him. A small breathing taking smirk made me want this even more"do something" i whispered. With that Ashton achingly slow leaned in. He stopped as our lips brushed. His eyes met mine once more, looking for reassurance that this was okay. I nodded. With that our lips attached and everything briefly made sense. Our hands intertwined under the water. The sparks ignited as did the fireworks in my body. With his left hand he touched the side of my face, deepening the kiss.
A few minuets later we stopped. Ashton and i both began to laugh softly. "what are we doing" Ashton whispered as his thumb rubbed circles around on my cheek. "we're doomed" he continued to mumble. Despite his words i smiled. Everything about this moment was perfect. "we're freak shows" i giggled. The laughter had subsided any nothing else but the sweet silence remained. Ashtons small nose brushed mine frequently, my hand would touch the side of his face a few times, but our smiles never left. The stayed the same for what seemed like years. "kissing you has been on repeat in my mind for weeks" Ashton spoke softly. His eyes fluttering closed. Suddenly i was racked with guilt. My perfect hour came crushing down like a brick wall. I would have to break his heart into a thousand pieces. We're doomed just like he said we was.I knew the fate of two test subjects getting together better than anyone. My smile finally faltered as i pressed against his hard chest. Confusion was etched on his face. My heart thumped like a drum as i climbed out the pool. The clothing on my body felt heavy as i struggled to walk to the opposite side of the room. My hair felt heavy too, occasionally getting in my eyes annoyingly. I probably looked like a drowned rat. I sighed as i slumped down on my bum. Using the back of my hand i wiped away at my lips, cleansing myself of Ashtons heavenly lips on mine. This was the easiest way we could both avoid getting hurt or even killed. Ashton sat next to me. His demenour was rough, angry. It was obvious I had hurt him on some level. "whats wrong, Lily?" Ashton said after a moment of thinking and debating. I shook my head. I wasn't ready to tell him anything yet. My problems were mine not his.
"nothing. I'm fine" i weakly smiled to reassure him because my words were failing miserably. Ashton scoffed loudly, clenching his fist slightly. I raised my eyebrow at his sudden burst of anger. "come on, we both know somethings up. If you regret what just happen--" swiftly i cut him of by swiftly attaching our lips together. My hands were placed at the point where neck meets head. Ashton recovered quickly, his hands slithered up my body, leaving no space untouched. I craved his touch. Soon enough we stopped. "Lily, please tell me whats wrong" his hand was placed on my thigh. I gasped because no one had ever touched there. My reaction made him remove his touch. Once again I felt guilty. "Don't I deserve to know?" He pressed on. "did this mean anything to you?" Using his hands he indicated to the space between us. What we have means the world to me and that's the problem. I wanted to scream that in his face, or even I wanted to rip the clothing from his body but i used what little control I had. Ashton leaned in again but I pressed my palm to his chest, pushing him back. "No Ashton... we cant do this" i whispered. His eyes sunk to the floor. I knew I had destroyed the part that cared about me. His posture changed dramatically. "was I just some toy for you to play with?" He raised his voice slightly. The lack of emotion stabbed my heart. I've never heard him so cold and distant. "did you want your first kiss before you died" Ashton stood up. He threw his hands about, indicating the brewing fury. "was i getting too boring for you? did you not want me anymore so you thought you would put me back in your fucking toy box"
"Is it because im going to die any time soon?" he pressed on. He was silent for a bit waiting for me to find my voice. "your futures bright Ashton... im just not in it" I spoke truthfully. I felt sick. I felt like i was on a one way ticket to hell. "You know what, I'm so fucking stupid for thinking i had a chance with a girl like you" his voice wasn't gentle or soothing. "remember when I said love wasn't evil? I was wrong... so fucking wrong" This was the part that made tears surface. I stood up and walked towards the door. "I'm sorry, Ashton" I said, not bothering to turn round. "Zayn was right about you" He said e motionlessly.My chest felt heavy, the tears were strong and my whole entity was small as a mouse. I was no better that Miss Butts. Coldness struck my body, especially now that everything was wet. My feet were muddy yet again and the need to cut was stronger than ever before.
