Chapter Fourty-Nine

Belle came back and I smiled at her. I was so lucky to have these people in my life. I wasn't like my mother, I did care, I did love them. 

"I want to go see my dad, and I think i'll need you guys there." I finally say. They both look up at me.

"Aspen are you sure?" Belle says.

"Yeah, he doesn't even know I was born, and if i'm going there it's better I talk to him now."

"Are you still going to go there?" Harry asks.

"I don't know." I shrug.

"Let's go tomorrow." Harry says.

"What?" Belle and I say in unison.

"I mean we've waited 18 years to tell him why don't we just go tomorrow? I have to get a few things in the City, so I'll drive." He says, I thanked him silently for coming up with an excuse to go.

"Okay! Let's do it." Belle smiled. I nodded at both of them.

Harry had to go to a dinner so it was just Belle and I.

We sat in our beds together, both knowing the other was still awake. 

"You're a really good best friend." I say breaking the silence.

"We're more like sisters at this point."

"The sister I never had."

"You never know, maybe you have some sister out there in one of your families." She says laughing. 

"Probably." I say, closing my eyes.

"Love you sista," is the last thing I hear before falling asleep.

 ***

"My butts numb." Belle complains from the back. It was hour two of our four hour drive. "Also I get how the convertable thing gets the chicks but like my hair right now." 

"You're hair looked like shit before." Harry replies to her.

"Well you're hair always looks like shit so glad we're matching." Belle quickly replies and Harry smirks. 

"Also, can you tell your best friend to stop calling me, I ended things for a reason." She tells Harry.

"You two are both needy and nosy, you're meant for eachother."

"Not appreciated but okay." She says while reading something on her phone.

"They'll be back together next week." Harry whispers to me.

"I can hear you!" Belle yells from the back making me laugh. I'm glad I have these two, even if they aren't happy about the time they are spending together i appreciate it.

The next two hours are more of the same. Belle complaining, Harry insulting her and me contemplating taking a bus.

"He probably won't even be here? It's the summer." I say.

"He teaches a summer course.. I ugh, looked it up." Harry replies.

"Oh, great." I say unenthusiastically. 

We pull into the Columbia campus, it's huge. We pull up to the English building. 

"So here we go," Belle says with smile.

"Yeah, we can just go back to the Hamptons that's cool too." I say.

"No." They both say in unison, they aren't ready to get back into the car together for another four hours.

We walk in, it's open.

"We'll wait here." Harry says motioning to the lobby. I nod and wait for the elavator alone. It comes and I match ip the name.
