The Boy with the Vans

Chapter 20

• Aaron's POV•

I finally got to see my family at last.

"Broooo!" Dustyn called out as he fist bumped me.

"Hey pumpkin!" My mom smiled as she squeezed me near to death.

I see Greyson and I instantly smile at him.

"He's missed you," Candice smiled as she bounced him on her hip.

"I bet. Hey Grey, how are things?" I take his little hand and swing it back and forth.

He gurgles at me before spitting up.

"Aaron, look what you did!" Candice used her hand to wipe it off and gagged.

"You know who's been calling me... Ashtynn," my mom looked my way.

Ashtynn was my obsessed friend.. she's crazy, but at sometime I liked her.

"Why?" I ask.

"She just wants to talk to you, and I think you should."

I sigh to myself before getting up and taking my phone to call her.

"Hello? Aaron?" She asks with hope.

"Yeah.. hey Ashtynn.."

"Hey.. how are you?" She asked.

"Im okay I guess. I'm at the beach with my family currently..."

"Oh, your mom texted me the address. I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah, sure."

And with that she hung up.

She seemed... different.

I wonder what Iris is doing.

I dial her number next and wait.

"Hello?" I hear a deep voice answer.

"Uh, you're not Iris?" I ask confused.

"Nah man it's Matt. Waddup?"

"Where's Iris?" I ask almost instinctively.

"She went out with the guys for lunch, but I'm too tired to go so I stayed. Where are you?"

The guys? He must mean Kian and Jc.

A surge of jealousy runs through me.

"K, well text me when she gets back. Bye," and I hung up as fast as I can.

• Iris POV •

Kian and Jc offered to take me and Matt out to lunch but of course he was too tired to.

We went to Panera and holy crap, let me tell you, if you've never been, you need to go.

Jc's phone rang in the middle of our lunch and he took it outside.

"So, how was lunch?" Kian asked as he put his hand on my thigh.

"Uh, good. Good." I slowly moved his hand away but he kept putting it back.

"Kian, there are people here.." I whispered to him.

"So?" He grinned.

"I'm dating Aaron, remember?"

His eyes narrowed and he removed his hand.

"Right."

He gradually started to lighten his mood after I made him laugh.

• Aaron POV •

"Aaron!" A familiar voice yells.

I look back and see... Ashtynn?
