I love you, Bestfriend.

Chapter 7:

"Hey mom!" exclaimed Ashton, waving.

"Hello son, how was the trip? Did you take care of Anna?" Mom asked.

"Of course, look, I got her in one piece." He winked.

Mom started laughing, and I went over and hugged her.

"Hi mom, I missed you!" I yelled as I squashed her into my famous bear hug.

"Woah, hey there slow down, I didn't get to hug mom!" Ashton pouted.

I turned around. "She's my mom Ashton, I get the first preference." 

"You think I care? And she loves me more, k" he replied, proudly.



My family is weird. Ashton started calling my mom 'mom' when he was 5, mom accepted it, and didn't even try to deny him calling her mom. 

Since Ashton's mom is always working abroad, Ashton spends most of his life with my mom and me. I love being around the two of them it's all so comfortable and cozy, yeah I'm weird too.

"That's there," my mom said, winking.

Ashton went over and gave her a hi5. Okay seriously? The facks...

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes. "Ashton's having dinner here, make sure you've got enough food for an elephant!" I stated and ran off into my room to change.

"I know honey, I expected that. If I'm not wrong I'm guessing you're spending the night over?" Mom asked Ashton. 

He bobbed his head 'yes' and ran off to the guest room. He practically lived there, he made the so called guest room his own room over the years. Since our only visitor is Ashton. He has his own stack of clothes, toothbrush, body washes, perfumes, shoes, games, charger and what not. 

I thought of taking a shower, but I was too lazy. Everyone relaxes after a shower and stuff right? Not me. I feel sleepy and annoyed. Music and Dance relaxes me. Taking one shower in the day is more than enough. Call me whatever you want, I ain't changing.

I pulled out my SpongeBob jammies and a white tank top over it. I tied my hair in a messy bun and hoped down the stairs. 



"Did you even take a bath?" Ashton asked me, coming down right after me as I placed myself on the chair beside the counter.

"What do you think?" I asked popping an eyebrow.

"Of course not, you're a pig!" He replied.

"Oink oink," I said and laughed.



Mom came in rolling her eyes. "22 hours Diana! How could you not shower?" 

"I'm just too lazy mom, I'll have it tomorrow, it's a Sunday anyways," I replied.

"Who are you kidding Anns? You forget to take a shower most of the Sundays, saying you'll do it later...and that 'later' of yours never comes." Ashton said, using his fingers as an air quote.

"Whatever, I'm hungry, can we eat?" I asked.

"Best way to change the topic, Food." Mom said. 



We had dinner, mom made pasta today. My mom is like the best cook in the world. 



"Okay, you two. I have to go out on an urgent meeting right about now, it's the head office. I can't miss this, I'm sorry Anns that I couldn't be here, but I'll be back on Monday morning. I've left money in your closet, and prepared breakfast for both of you; just put it in the microwave. As for lunch and dinner, either go out or make Ashton cook. Ashton, it's your responsibility, please don't let her touch my kitchen, she's a disaster there!" Mom addressed both of us.

How sweet.

"And, I don't want any funny business, I trust you two to leave you alone, okay?"

We both nodded.

"Good. Bye darlings" she left then, placing a kiss on both of our foreheads. 



Once she left, Ashton turned towards me.

"So which movie" asked Ashton.

It was a routine kind of thing, every time mom would go out suddenly, we'd sit and watch movies and go for a swim or do bullshit. 

"Umm, Percy Jackson...?" I asked, eagerly. That's always my answer.

"Damn, I've seen it over a 50 times Anna! And sorry, tough luck, it's my turn to pick a movie this time. Let's watch horror?" 

"No ways!" I yelled. "Ashton its 1 am! Imma pee in my pants if you make me watch horror!"

"Okay, so umm, horror it is." He winked.



I didn't even bother looking at the movies name; all kinds of horror scared me. 

After about 15 minutes I jumped beside Ashton, clutching my stuffed toy and wrapping myself inside the blanket. I would close my eyes, go under the blanket and wait for the scary thing to pass. Then I'd slowly come up, pop one eye open and the damn thing would still be there! Scarier than the last time! DAMMIT.

This kept going on, and Ashton seemed to be having the time of his life! Ugh.

After an hour, he put his arm around me and I was too scared to swat it away. People died, gods, I saw at least 25 deaths! Yep, I was counting. This shit was scary.

Finally the torture was over.

"A-Asthon, I won't be able to sleep alone" I whispered.

He chuckled. "Go to your room, I'll be there in 2 okay?" I nodded.



Then ran back to my room, and flicked all the lights on and sat on the bed waiting for Ashton. Damn that guy for scaring the nerves out of me. He was taking really long. I groaned.

Before I could run back and yell at him, he entered my room holding to mugs in his hand.

"Woah, where are you off to?" He asked.

I just blushed.

"I thought you could use a little hot chocolate...The movie was actually a bit scary, at least more than the last ones we saw, so I figured you'd feel better." He said. I was speechless.
