You Can't Save Me..

Chapter 15

Luke's POV

I'm so nervous to meet Ashton's family. I could tell how important they were to her.

It's painfully obvious that she loves them more than anything. So if they don't like me, what if she doesn't anymore?

Ashton pulled me up, "Don't worry! They'll love you!" She smiled before pulling me to the door.

She opens the door and a boy about 5 years younger than her (around 12) jumps into her arms. "Jake!" Ashton screamed, obviously happy to see her brother.

Soon they let go and Jake is followed by 2 little girls, about the age of 8 running up and latching one on to each of Ashton's legs. "Ashyyy. We missed you!!" The twins screamed together. She just smiled and bent down to pick them both up.

Let's just say that was a sight to see. She may be older, but she's not much bigger than them. It was adorable either way.

Behind them was who I assumed was her mother carrying a little baby.

Ashton smiled and walked over, taking the baby out of her arms and placing them in her own. "Hey Courteney. How you are doing?" Ashton spoke softly to the child.

The little girl smiled and gripped one of Ashton's fingers with her whole fist.

I stood awkwardly behind her watching the whole scene. The amount I thought she cared about her family has obviously just doubled.

Seeing them with her, they love her to. She's right. They're like her children..

"Guys, this is Luke. My boyfriend." Ashton announces proudly.

I smile slightly and let out a shy, "Umm. Hi."

The twins giggle and Jake looks me up and down. He looks like he's assessing me. Checking to make sure I'm not a serial killer or something.

I stuff my hands in my pockets awkwardly.

"You're handsome. My names Addi." One of the little girls introduces herself.

"It's nice to meet you Addi. You're very pretty." I winked at her and gave a slight smile to Ashton. Ashton looked at her sister and smiled proudly.

"I'm Skylar." Says the other girl shyly, looking up at me with rosy cheeks.

"Thats a beautiful name." I say to the obviously shy little girl. She smiles and hides behind Ashtons leg slightly.

"Oh. And this is my mom. Michelle." Ashton says, slightly less enthusiastic and a little more careful.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." I say politely, reaching out to shake her hand.

"Uh-huh." She huffs ignoring my hand shake offer.

"Okay! Mom why don't you go get settled in. I'll put Court down then get Addi and Sky unpacked. Jake unpack yourself. Neatly! In your room. Up the stairs first door on the right. Then I'll start dinner." Ashton let's out all in one breath.

"Actually, why don't you put Courteney down then start dinner. I can help Addi and Sky unpack. If that's okay with them of course." I say, trying to keep my promise.

Addi jumps up and latches herself onto my leg, cheering, but Sky stays behind Ashton quietly.

I bend down, smile at her, and reach out my hand. She softly accepts and takes my hand, coming out from behind Ashton.

Jake smiles at me slightly, looking as if he approves, "Ash. We gotta talk later!" He says happily, then runs off up the stairs. To find his room I assume.

I then pick up Addi as she's still latched onto my leg and with the other arm I take Sky's hand and we begin walking up the stairs. I look back and see Ashton smiling at me before she looks down at the baby in her arms once again.
