Chapter 4 *edited*

*EDITED*

The week went by quite slowly and it was now the weekend. Nothing exciting happened during the week, except Ashton was happy that Luke and the others were beginning to feel more comfortable around each other. It feels as though he's always been a part of the group. Ashton normally didn't do much on the weekends. He liked to have time by himself and relax.

Ashton stood from his bed and crouched down in front of the TV and began his search for a movie he hasn't already seen. After not finding a movie to watch, he decided to just binge Pretty Little Liars for the rest of the afternoon. He placed the disc into his DVD player and plonked back onto his bed before pressing play on the very first episode. Emily was his favourite character because she was gay and Ashton just generally liked her the best.

"Got a secret can you keep it swear this one you'll save, better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave-" Ashton began to sing the theme song.

"Ashton!" Anne Marie yelled from down stairs, but Ashton continued singing.

"...If I show you I'll know you won't tell what I said, cause' two can keep a secret if one-"

"Ash!"

"...Of them is dead." Ashton groaned and paused the TV. He stood from his bed, and walked down the stairs to see what she wanted. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he walked into the lounge room and saw his mother sitting on a recliner staring at the TV. Ashton looked at her expectantly and she turned her gaze towards him.

"Lauren and Harry want to go to the park, can you please take them?" Anne asked and Ashton shook his head.

"No way, it's Saturday. I want me time."

"You can have time tomorrow, they haven't been in a while and they won't stop nagging."

"So? Why is that my problem? You're the one who decided to have two more kids after me. You take them."

"Ashton, you are taking them. Go and change now." Anne ordered and Ashton sighed.

"Fine. But I'm wearing these." Ashton gestured to his baggy sweatpants.

"At least put a shirt on." Anne compromised. Ashton walked back up the stairs after agreeing with Anne and turned his TV off. He promised himself that he would watch it later. He walked over to his closet and grabbed out a random shirt which happened to be a Nirvana one. After putting the shirt on, he then went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, seeing that his hair was still intact so he didn't bother brushing it again.

He walked out of the bathroom and put on some socks before putting on his vans. He grabbed his phone and left the room, making his way towards his siblings' room. He knocked twice before entering and saw that they were sitting at their small table colouring in their colouring books. They looked up at Ashton and he smiled at them.

"C'mon, I'm taking you to the park." Lauren and Harry jumped from their seats excitedly and raced down the stairs making Ashton laugh. He followed them and they said goodbye to Anne and waited at the front door. She gave Ashton some money in case they wanted to get something to eat and Ashton opened the door and stepped carefully over the welcome mat, knowing that he tripped over it all the time. They walked down the driveway and followed the footpath that led to the park.

Luckily the park wasn't very far away from Ashton's house in which he was thankful for; he was feeling quite lazy today and didn't feel like doing anything. Plus, he was annoyed that Anne Marie forced him to take them when she knew he liked to relax on Saturdays. They finally arrived at the park and Lauren and Harry raced towards the monkey bars while Ashton sat down with his legs crossed on the grass.
