The plan

Chapter 37- Surprising News

                               2 Years Later...

"Aspen, you're gonna be late for work... again!" Anna yells at me.

After I stopped working at the hotel, I started working as an official tattoo artist.

Anna and I decided that she might as well move in with me because she's always at my apartment.
Chase and his girlfriend broke up, they were together for one year.
Ryan and Justin are still madly in love with each other, and so are Anna and Matt.

I groan, and look at my clock,
"I don't have to go to work for another hour, why're you waking me up?"
"Ryan wants to meet up with us. Get ready!" Anna says as she walks out of the room.
"For what?" I ask.
"How should I know?"

I groan as I drag myself out of bed.
I throw on sweatpants and a t-shirt, and put my hair in a ponytail.

Anna parks the car by the park benches, and we walk towards Ryan.
Ryan looks me up and down, and looks back at me.
"What?" I ask.
"Why does it look like you got dragged out of hell?"

I glare at him, "Nice to see you too, Ryan."
"So what's up?" Anna asks.
"Well, I have some news." Ryan says smiling.
"What is it?" Anna and I say at the same time.

"Justin and I are getting married!"

*******

I walk in the tattoo parlor, and set up my stuff.
"You have any customers today?" My boss, Jade, asks me.
"A couple, most of my customers are coming in next week." I answer.
She nods, and walks away to do her own thing.

"Excuse me?" A voice says behind me.
I turn around, "Yes?"
"I'm getting a tattoo done by Aspen." He says.
I nod, "That's me. You can go sit over there." I say while pointing at a seat.

After I finish setting up, I walk over to the man.
"So, what're you getting?" I ask.
"I'm getting my wife's initials. They're S.H.H" he says while smiling.

He shows me what type of style he wants it written in, and he goes to sit in my chair.
I'm getting everything ready, when I notice the man looking at me.
I look at him, and he laughs.

"I'm sorry, you just look so familiar. I'm trying to figure out where I've seen you." He says.
I laugh, "Let me know when you figure it out."

I'm in the middle of working on his tattoo, and he starts talking.
"Oh! I know where I've seen you." He says.
"Where?"

"I'm John, Jace's uncle,"
Just hearing Jace's name made my heart skip a beat.

I miss him.

"When my wife and I went to his house, you were in one of his pictures."
"Oh, what picture?" I ask getting curious.
"You and Jace standing together in front of a building." He says.
"When did you see the picture?" I ask.
"A couple of days ago." He answers.

I started getting butterflies in my stomach.
Jace never took down the picture the paparazzi took of us.

A/N: sorry for such a short chapter, I'm busy with school work & stuff like that😂🙈

So, when I messed up and said that Jace's mom was dead.... I 'meant' to say that the one who died was Jace's grandma.

So Jace's grandma is the one that said those words to him: 'forgive but never forget.'

^^ hope you understand what I'm saying lol😂
