----------

It was the following weekend and Ashton's mum, being the social butterfly she is, decided to have a barbecue. Yes a barbecue in England, with the stereotypical English weather.

Luckily Ashton's mum, Annemarie, better known as Mama Irwin, wasn't very well known as they just joined the country, so she got Ashton to invite all his friends over and to tell them to bring their whole family so that they could all get to know each other.

Even with the such short notice everyone could make it, Ashton believes that even if they all had plans they would come anyway, not because they all love him and they want to be around him constantly, but because his mum offered free food and nobody turns down free food. Ever.

Now there was one problem with having a barbecue, Alice is a vegetarian, therefore meaning that they had to go out and buy special vegetarian food. But other than that, Ashton was sure this would be one of the best ideas his mum had ever come up with.

But now he was regretting agreeing to this, it was an hour before every one was due to turn up, and Ashton remembered how embarrassing his mum was, how she spanks chickens, and how she has a huge crush on most gay people and tries to 'covert them'. However, she is very accepting of Ashton being gay - well he says he's not gay, I mean for Christ sake his mother walked in on him having sex with a girl! But no she believes that he is gay and in-denial, because of this he gets weaner points, Mama Irwin believes that this will help Ashton realise his sexuality.

He contemplated texting everyone and cancelling, blaming the rain of course. But then he decided against it. Purely because, if they can handle his mum, the can handle him. Well that's Ashton's theory.

With 5 minutes spare, everything was ready, Mama Irwin had lovingly spanked the chicken until she felt it was ready to be cooked, and then put the rest of the meat on. Ashton, very cleverly said that he would do all Alice's food, to a) stop any traces of meat going on her food, and b) to get away from his crazy mother, whom he loved very deeply.

The door bell rang.

The embarrassment was about to begin.

Was Ashton ready?

No, he would never be ready.

But he's sure he will always have Luke, from what he knows of Alice, she will stick around, just because she finds it funny and they will stay friends, and well Kenzie, she's bound to stay, not only because Alice is, but because she's a genuinely nice person.

Ashton ran to answer the door before his mum could, this way he could give pre-warning. When he answered it he didn't see any of his friends, instead he saw a beautiful girl, with long blonde hair, a stunning figure, quite small, but not too small, about 6'5 (6 foot, 5 inches) she looked about his age. She clearly saw that he was confused, and spoke in a beautiful voice whilst adjusting her glasses.

"You're Ashton right? Your Mother came to my house, next door, and said you were having a barbecue and that I was welcome to come with my family, they're busy, but I thought I would come anyway and introduce myself. My names Naomi, Naomi Kenning, nice to meet you"

Throughout her explanation as to why she was here, Ashton noticed a small and barely there lisp, he only noticed it as he was used to spotting things about people the most wouldn't, he wondered if she always had it as she didn't seem shy with it, then the remembered seeing an object of some kind in her mouth, he places two and two together and realised that she had a tongue piercing. He had always wanted one, but was never brave enough to get one as he has a fear of needles.

Realising he had been thinking for too long, he invited her in and told her that some others would be joining them soon, and right on cue, the Hemmings family appeared in the door way, there was Luke, an older looking female, he presumed Mrs Hemmings, then three older men, one clearly older then the other two, Ashton guessed that he was Mr Hemmings, and the older two boys were Ben and Jack, Lukes elder brothers.

Pulling them in quickly so that they wouldn't get a cold, or worse a fever, Ashton pulled Luke to the side.

"Hey, Um Luke, my mum kinda invited another person, she seems nice, she's really pretty and I think she's our age. Her names Naomi, is that alright? I'm sorry if it's too much."

Before anyone had a chance to reply, Alice was shouting through the door, complaining sassily about the rain and how Ashton is a bad host by leaving them out there to freeze, he rushed over to the door to be engulfed in a wet hug from his blue haired friend.

When everyone was in the house and all dried up, they all sat in the living room and learnt more about each other. For example, Luke and Ashton learned that Kenzie originated from Canada. Also they learned that Naomi was moving to Thailand, with her girlfriend Lucy, this was slightly upsetting for everyone as they thought that Naomi was a cool person and it will be sad to see her go rather than get to know each other more.

All the parents seemed to get along just as well as the teenagers, and Naomi, she was a few years older than them. She just looked younger than her age. They were all about 16-17 and Naomi was 20, as well as Lucy. As Alice and Kenzie's parents already knew each other, it lowered any tension between the parents.

Ashton's life was finally looking up, all he had left to do was start to enjoy it, but it's hard to do when your, so-called dad was lurking around the corner. Waiting for his next move. Calculating every step he took.
