"Why won't I? You're amazing"! Ashton defended. 

Caleb chuckled, "I thought you didn't know me". He teased.

"I...I..." Ashton fumbled, taken aback by Caleb's words, "I just know it"! He huffed.

"You are amazing too. I miss you, a lot" Caleb mumbled. 

"Is this why you are here? Because you miss me?" Ashton asked. Caleb nodded at him and smiled. "I am sure wherever I am, I miss you too" he mumbled.
