So it's been forever and I'm truly sorry😘
---------------------
Calum was the first to speak up "when do you have to go?"  "All I know is that I have to go to the police station next Monday and since today is Wednesday that makes it 5 days." Luke was the next to speak "oh my god only 5 days?! I can't believe we only get five more days with you" "I know I'm sorry I wish I didn't have to go but I do" It really sucks having to tell your friends that you're going to have to let them go in 5 days. We all walked along the path that led through the park until we got to the edge of some woods. Ashton and I haven't talked since we got here but I decided it wasn't really his fault. "Hey ash?" He noticed my concern "yeah? What's wrong?" "Um nothing I just wanted you to know that I forgive you and I know it's not really your fault and you don't really have a choice in all of this." He hugged me "oh thank you, I thought you would never forgive me." "Don't worry Ash I don't think I would be able to stay mad at you forever." We slowly started to walk through the woods after a couple minutes Michael finally gave up and walked back to the park. So it was just Calum, Luke, Ash, and I. After about fifteen more minutes of walking we walked up on a little pond. Luke and Calum kept walking I just wanted to stay and look at the water, apparently Ashton had the same idea. I walked over to the bank where a few pebbles were scattered around and picked up two for each of us. I walked back to where ash was standing and handed him two of the pebbles "what are these for?" "We are going to skip rocks on this pond." "But I don't know how, nobody ever taught me." "Well it's about time someone did." After showing him how to throw the pebble and giving him a few pointers I stepped back and let him try it out himself. After about ten tries he finally figured it out, we stayed there for another thirty minutes. Then Luke and Calum had finally emerged from the tall trees, Ash walked to where the two boys were standing "Hey, where have you guys been?" "We found a trail and followed it until the woods got too thick then we came back." They all walked back to where I was standing. "I think we should probably head back and get Michael and go home." The three boys agreed and we made our way back to the park. After we got there we found Michael swinging slowly and holding his phone. Calum had the great idea to go up behind him and try to scare him, which ended with Calum getting slapped and Michael almost falling out of the swing. After their shenanigans we all made our way back to the sidewalk on our way to Ashton's house. We got there after about forty five minutes. After Calum, Luke, and Michael were gone Ash and I went inside his house. I walked up the stairs to get ready for a shower. "Ash! I need clothes for a shower" I walked into his room where he was sitting on the edge of his bed without a shirt on. "U-um ash? Can I borrow a t-shirt?" He turned around and saw my nervousness, he had always had a way of telling how I felt. He walked over to his closet and got me an old t-shirt to wear "here you go." I turned and walked out of his room to the bathroom where I had already had a towel placed on the counter ready for use. I got into the warm shower and let the warm water work away the soreness from the walk. After quickly bathing and washing my hair I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me. I walked into my room and noticed I left the t-shirt Ash had gave me in the bathroom. I opened my door and walked down the hall to the bathroom and when I got there I noticed Ash was opening the bathroom door. "Wait ash can you hand me the t-shirt you gave me please?" He turned towards me and he looked at me for a couple seconds before turning back around and grabbing the shirt and handing it to me. I turned and walked back to my room. When I got in my room and changed into my fresh clothes I wondered out loud "what the hell was that?" "Something's different about Ashton" I had more questions than answers. I laid down on the soft bed and dozed off into a deep sleep.
The next morning I was awoken by the sun shining through the curtains on the window beside the bed. I sat up and put on some sweatpants and walked downstairs to find some food I walked to the fridge and pulled out an Apple some orange juice and some eggs and bacon. After I had finished eating I walked back upstairs to find an outfit for the day. When I walked by Ashton's room I looked in to say good-morning but he wasn't there I walked in the bathroom and noticed a note lying on the counter in Ashton's handwriting saying "I've gone to the police station I'll see you soon." I went back downstairs and looked out the window "shit! Ashton took the car" now I have no way to get to the police station I went back up stairs to get my phone and get dressed, I sent a quick message to Luke to come pick me up. After about ten minutes Luke showed up outside. I walked over to his car and got in "we need to go to the police station."
