Isn't It Strange (Dolan Twin Fanfic)

Chapter 8

I was eating my microwave meal when Ash came and sat next to me.

"Hey" she gave me a warm genuine smile

"Hey" I returned
"Do you wanna come shopping with me for and outfit for Luke's birthday party?" I asked patiently waiting for her reply.

"Sure" she answered

Ash isn't a loud outgoing person like me. She is quiet and keeps very much to herself.

Even thought we are completely different types of people we've gotten along since the 3rd grade when we knew we were destined to be friends. And somehow we made it work, and we like it.

Before  I did anything I had to ask Grayson.

Me: -- hey err it's my big brothers 21st birthday party in 2 weeks and he said I had to take a date, wanna be my date?

Oh my marshmallow I have just broken a world record of babbling over texts. Urgh

I just don't stop talking, like ever, unless I'm like really sick. When I'm sad I talk about how sad I am, when I'm happy I talk about how happy I am and everything in between.

I'm embarrassing myself. A few seconds later he replied.

Grayson:) -- I would be honoured. Did you know that you babble over texts as well?

Oh Mary Poppins I was just saying something about it, and he picked up on it. My life is literally over. I'm such an awkward person!

Me -- I was literally talking to myself about that

Me -- wait what?

Me -- crap I just sent that didn't I?

Now he probably thinks I am some immature, creepy phycopath who talks to herself!!

I give up on life!

Grayson:) -- yes you did just send that ahaha

Me -- so not funny

--------------------

"Ash I'll be down in like 15 minutes so you can drive to the mall and I'll meet you there" I yelled from upstairs.

"Okay" she yelled back

I put on some ripped skinny jeans, my black boots and my espada, before putting on some light make up consisting of mascara, concealer and foundation.

I jogged down the stairs grabbing a granola bar on the way.

--------------

The mall was pretty quiet today which means we won't be here all that long, thank god!

I knew what I was hoping to get from Forever New so that was the first place we went.

I wanted a strapless blue floral mid thigh dress, and that was exactly what I got.  I had bee eyeing it off for ages.

I paired it with some white platform heals and some sliver plated jewellery.

Sometimes when I'm shopping I think back to when my mum used to take me. We used to laugh at everything just because and we would spend literally hours trying on horrible outfits just for the sake of it.

I missed it, I missed seeing her smile and hearing her laugh.
Mum died when I was 14 and since Noah was the oldest he had to look after me, Luke and Jay.

When mum passed dad went off the rails and left, he is now probably in some drunken state in an alley way.

It was definitely brave of Noah you look after his 3 siblings, considering he was 17 at the time and he could have been living the life, but he had his kids and us.

It wasn't easy for the first few months but it got easier.

Ash noticed me stating into space and started annoyingly waving her had in front of my face.

"Haha sorry I was just thinking about mum" I reasoned

"All good, can we get food i'm starving?" She asked as we left the store.
