Life As It Is

Gas Station

Ashley's pov
"It's okay though" I tell dad to convince him that I'll be fine. But am I? I'm not so sure. "Ash if you don't want to go then we can do something else" he tells me but I shake my head. "Liv wants to go and I made a promise" I tell him but he doesn't look convinced. "Promise me if you ever want to leave or you feel like somethings off, you need to tell me or Scar okay?" I nod and he hugs me. "Love you lots. Now finish your packing we're leaving after lunch" he tells me and I nod my head. He walks out to leave me pack. I mostly already packed everything I needed. Like some shorts, hoodies, sweats, jeans other things like toiletries and stuff. "Lunch is ready" Liv says on the other side of the door. "Okay" I open it and I see Liv smiling at me.

"Why are you smiling?" I ask her walking beside her downstairs. "Well we made your favourite lunch" she tells me and runs off. This child is thirteen and has that much energy. I swear she's secretly drinking red bull or something. I go the dining room and it's true. My favourite lunch is nicely set on the table. "Hurry up and eat I want to leave" Liv pushes me down on my seat and runs to hers. We start eating and talking about everything and anything.

Olivia's pov
We finally finished lunch and now it's time to leave! I'm so excited. I don't think Ashley's that excited. She seems off today. "Liv hurry up!" Ash yells at me from the car. I roll my eyes and run to the car and get in. "Don't rush me" I told her but she put her AirPods in. Okay then. I know she's on her subscription but like....Anyways. It's Ashley she's always like that which makes her different. Wayyyy different. You see, there's me then...Ashley. "Liv please put to your seatbelt on" dad says and I look down noticing I didn't have it on. I thought it was. Silly me. I put it on and we drive off. We soon leave the city and off to the non city area. I don't know what it's called. I'm dumb okay.

Time skip...

"How much longer?" I ask literally anyone who was listening. "30 minutes" dad says and I see that we are parked at a gas station. I then get a notification on my phone. I look at see that Jason and his friends tagged me on a post. I look at it and it's a post of them in front of a sign where dads cabin is. "Ash" I poke her arm trying to get her attention so that I can show her this. But she's ignoring me. She still has her AirPods in. "Ashley" I poke her again. "Fuck off Olivia!" She shouts and I freeze. She never yells at me like that so this scared me. I feel water form in my eyes so I look out the window trying not to cry. But yeah...kinda didn't work so now I'm silently crying.

Chris' pov
Ashley just yelled at Olivia. I don't know why but I never heard her this angry before. I look at Scarlett and she looks shocked. I look back and see Liv silently crying. "You got Liv I got Ash" I tell her and she nods her head. We both walk out the car and open their doors. I take out Ashley's AirPods and put them in my pocket. She glares at me. Damn and I though Scarlett's glares are scary. "Out. Now" I tell her and she sighs jumping out of the car. I make sure that Liv is out of the car before locking it. I take Ashley to a corner to talk to her. "Why are you yelling at your sister?" I ask her crossing my arms. She just shrugs. "Ashley" she looks up at me.

"Fine she's being annoying" "Why's that?" She shrugs again. I sigh. She won't say anything. "Look can't just yell at her. She's trying to have fun with you and the family so please try and be nice" I tell her and she nods her head. We walk back to the car and I unlock it and she gets in. I give her her AirPods back. "Thanks" she gladly takes them and continues doing whatever she was doing on her phone.

Scarlett's pov
I walk out the car to get Olivia and I see her crying. "Liv?" She looks up at me with those big eyes. "Come here" she unbuckles herself and jumps out the car walking towards me. I lead her to a corner to talk to her. "She's mad at me" she says full on crying. I immediately hug her and rub her back. "No she's not" I don't know how to tell her this. "I just tried to show her the post Jason and his friends tagged me in" she says hugging me tighter. We stayed like that for a bit then she finally pulls back. "Can you show me the post?" I ask her and she nods her head taking her phone out of her pocket. She shows me it and it's them in front of the sign where Chris cabin is. Well in that area.

"Okay well I hope they don't bother us" I tell her and she grabs my hand. I look down and she smiles up at me. "Want to get some snacks?" I ask her and she happily nods. We walk in the store and we get some snacks. Liv got some of Ashley favourite foods so as hers and I got some of mine and Chris'. "Ready?" I ask her and she nods. We go up and pay. "Have a nice day" the man tells us. "Thank you. You too" Liv happily says making the man smile. She can make a whole room shine bright just with that smile of hers. We walk out and I see that Chris and Ashley are already in the car. I look over at Liv and she looks scared? "It's going to be okay" I tell her and she nods getting in the car. "We got some snacks" Liv happily says like nothing happened 10 minutes ago. I look back and I see Liv handing Ash her snacks. "Thanks" Ash says and Liv smiles and puts her seatbelt on. We drive off and soon enough we arrive at the cabin.
