Chapter 53

Hudson's POV

"Amar?" She says. Her voice is shaky.

"What's happening? Ashley?" I panic, but she's turned off the phone call.

I don't know what's happening but I'm not calm for sure. Amar is the more aggressive and strict brother I noticed so I'm afraid he's done something to her. Or is about to do something. I would immediately get in the car and drive to her but I don't have a car. Instead, I try to call her over and over again, but she doesn't answer her phone. There is only one thing left I didn't do. I need to ease my mind.

Minutes later I'm standing in front of Kerem's bedroom door. I hesitate to knock as he opens his door.

"Hudson? Do you need anything?" He asks curiously.

"Actually, yes. Do you have time for a little walk outside?" I ask and he widens his eyes.

"It's almost midnight..."

"I know but I need it right now. Please?" I say trying to sound nice.

"Uhm... sure." He accepts my idea.

As we walk outside he asks after some minutes of awkward silence why I wanted to go out and if anything happened. I told him all about the engagement and that Amar interrupted our phone call.

"I know he's the more... scary... brother. But should I be worried?" I try to find the words to not sound disrespectful.

"Why do you think that I should know the answer to your question? I've known Ashley since kindergarten, but not Amar. But if this calms you a little, he would never hurt her physically." He tells me. That does calm me a little.

Then we change the subject. We talk about Meredith and I found out that he really likes her. Actually, he doesn't say that directly, but I notice a guy when he talks about a girl. I almost tell him about Meredith's feelings, but I remembered Meredith would be hate me for it so I stop myself from talking.

We walked around his place for another hour and talked about a lot of other stuff until we finally got home. I think we suddenly became friends and I don't even know how this happened. I just hope now that everything's going to be fine with me and Ashley.

Ashley's POV:

Amar walks towards me and turns my phone off. I don't even take a deep breath because I'm scared of his actions.

"I have to talk to you." He says seriously. I just nod in agreement.

"I know what you've been up to." He frowns at me. What the hell?

"I don't understand." I reply, not getting what he means.

"You and Hudson tried to bring Meredith and Kerem together so that everything would work out for you and you two can simply get your permission to marry. I won't let this happen!" He almost yells.

"Wait, what?! No! Of course, not! How in the world did you think I would do that?" I yell now. And how did he even find out about Meredith and Kerem? Actually, it's obvious because wherever we go they are with us.

"What did I misunderstand?" He says angrily.

"Almost everything! Meredith and Kerem are just friends and nobody is about to bring them together. Who told you this?" I ask him. After I said this my door opens and Samir walks in.

"I did. I'm sorry. I thought you're really planning this but I liked your plan. And I've noticed Meredith's feelings for Kerem anyway since high school." He says with an apologizing smile.

"That's what you meant in the living room!" I remember and he nods in agreement.

"I want to know what's happening here?" Amar says angrily.

"I misunderstood everything. It's my fault, leave Asli alone." Samir defends me. Did I mention that he's the best brother a sister could ever wish for?

"So, there is no such plan to bring Meredith and Kerem together?" Amar repeats to understand it.

"Yup. Sorry, brother." Samir says with his typical apologizing smile.

"Ugh, I need some rest. Good night!" Amar says closing his eyes in annoyance and leaves my room. As soon as the door is closed, I hug Samir.

"Thank you, but why did you even talk to him?" I say, but can't hold my chuckle in.

"I thought it's funny to see how he reacts after his little crush on Meredith since high school." He laughs.

"He had a crush on Meredith?!" I almost yell. He hushes me and nods cracking up again.

"Oh my God, can't wait to tell Meredith!" I say out loud accidentally.

"Don't you dare! He would kill me if you tell her." He says.

"Alright, I won't tell Meredith." I give him my word as someone enters my room again.

"Tell me what?" Meredith says.

Oh crap.
