Sensitivity (Ashlyn Banner x Female Reader)

Chapter 7

-Present Day...-

"I still think we should go back to Savannah..." Tyler said quietly.

"... Alright, let's take some time to think on it again and have a group vote tonight." Ash said irritatedly, and I can feel the vibrations of her foot tapping on the ground.

"Why not after school?" Tyler questioned.

"Because I have ballet class today."

"So what? Skip it."

"Uh, Ty... We have stuff to do after school too. You have baseball practice and I have a mechanics meeting." Taylor says.

I look at her and Tyler, sitting next to Taylor still.

"... I um, I have to help with the flower shop today..." Logan muttered next to me, making me look to him before turning to Tyler.

"See? Logan's busy too." I said.

"Even with what's happening we can't just neglect school and our future. You need baseball. Let's just wait till tonight-" Taylor says before being interrupted by Tyler.

"We aren't going to have a 'future' if we're dead!" Tyler yelled, staring towards the table.

"It's not just our future, Ty!" I yell before continuing.

"You know that if we try to just focus on the fantasy events we're having with no proof, we'll be seen as crazy! We'll all be sent to a Psyche ward!" I yell at him angrily.

"Do you think that's going to make it easier or harderfor all of us to have meetings during the day?" Ashlyn questioned calmly, well, at least calmer than me.

"They both got points, y'know. Generally we're what people call 'crazy'." Aiden says as her spins his finger next to his head and smiling.

Tyler stands up, grabbing his tray and beginning to walk away. "Whatever."

He stomps away for a moment before turning around and grabbing Taylor and glaring at Ashlyn. He then begins to pull Taylor along with him.

Why is he always pulling her...?

I pause my thoughts for a moment before thinking more.

I guess it is stupid that I have to begin working on props for the play this year... But we can't be ruining our lives in both worlds...

I go throughout the day like normal, and next thing I know I'm on the bus, sitting next to Ashlyn. It's become somewhat like our assigned seats. I think for a moment before speaking.

"Is it alright if I come to your house...? I figure it's easier to just hang out there for a bit..." I mutter softly, looking to Ashlyn. She looks at me questioningly before speaking.

"I guess... But I leave for ballet in an hour."

"That's cool, your parents and I can hang out for a bit."

Soon the bus reaches Ashlyn's house and her and I begin to head off before Ashlyn notices something.

"What are you doing?" Ashlyn questioned to someone behind me.
