Chapter 7

Time flew so fast as I changed into my outfit for tonight. I want Harry and I to be friends for real now because the one thing I hate in life is to have an enemy or even get into a fight with someone. My pops raised Margo and I to be the good people we are today and we weren't going to waste any of that - and I meant everything he ever taught us. 

I picked out my outfit and put on some light make up. I walked out of my room and I saw Harry's door open as I heard music from there. So I walked closer and saw that he was playing guitar. I was shocked because he never told me he played any instruments. Well, maybe because I never asked, as I realized I could ask him later at the date tonight. I totally got more excited for the fact of knowing that he was still in a good mood but its much better, especially tonight is the night.

"You look good." He says as he catches me, as I sat at the other end of his bed.

"You're not so bad looking yourself there." And he laughs.

"Are you e-excited?" He stuttered.

"Of course, I mean I get to hang out with new people and I think that's good."

"That's great," and we talked a bit more, we didn't know for how long but we just sat there, not caring about anything else.

In about a half an hour or so we met up at the restaurant we all chose to go to. Xavier, Autumn's fiancée, came in after us.

Xavier DelaMerced graduated at Brunel University London which is in Uxbridge, England. He's a very nice lad, and a gentleman too. I could tell, Autumn and Xavier really loved each other. And it's always amazing to know that you're loved by someone.

"Thanks, Xav" I said as he offered us water, as we waited for Ash to arrive. We actually got along with Xavier, I mean, he's really a cool guy. I believe Harry and I have already caught him steal plenty of glances at Autumn. We all talked about how we ended up here in Portland, starting with Autumn.

"I literally looked everywhere. Wisconsin, Seattle, everywhere. But - I dunno, I just really picked this out of nowhere, is all." She admitted, as Xavier held her hand the entire time.

"How about you, Ava?" I look at her and see my own smirk. 

"I guess a lot of people told me, if I wanted to start my life all over again, by myself, I should definitely go here. I literally just went with it and searched the whole place, and I was definitely amazed. It is beautiful here." I answered as they nodded in response. I wasn't actually sure about this, but I think I noticed Harry stare at me the whole time I was talking. Maybe they all did actually.

"How about you, Harold-"

"Oh, don't call him Harold - it's hitting a nerve somewhere.."

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know. How about you, Harry?" Xavier corrected himself as I smiled at him. I felt something lay on my thigh as I saw Harry's hand, and his smile lit up the room.

"I went here because this was the place my Dad lived before he met Anne."

"Who's Anne?" Eryn asked.

"She's nobody." He answers as I look at him.

"O-kay." Xavier said as we all heard the door open signaling us that Ash was already here.

"Ash," Eryn said as he went to him with open arms.  I must say that I accidentally drank a few drinks tonight. I felt a bit tipsy.

"Hey, Ash, what's your full name? We didn't catch it earlier." It was a bit crowded but we could still hear each other.

"Don't catch it.." We laughed and laughed until we took it again.

"It's Ashton Styles." and we laughed so hard until we couldn't see anything. The lights went off as the music went off too.
