*FLASHBACK*
"I can't wait to move out with Michael." Annessa said. Her, Paytn and I were at my house chilling on the couch. "I can't wait to have my own house and by my own things."
"It's nice dude. I miss living in my old house but I cannot wait to live in St. Cloud." Paytn said.
"I wanna move out too. I just don't know where." I fiddled with my fingers. "You know, I wonder what it would be like if we never lived in Pierz? Like what if we never moved from South Dakota?"
"That'd be so weird. Like I can't imagine not growing up here." Annessa said. "I would never move horribly far away. I like living around here."
"Hell, I can't wait to love to St. Cloud. I hate living in a small town." Paytn butted in.
"I wonder what it would be like to actually move away? Like somewhere that's not a small town? Like even a couple hours away?" I wondered.
"You're not moving that far away!" Nessa gave me a mad facial expression.
"Nessa! I'm not saying I would, I'm just saying what would it be like I wonder? It'd be so different."
"Yeah it'd be different." She said. "But you're not moving that far." I just rolled my eyes as we continued to talk about everything going on in our lives at the moment.
"So Ashlea," Paytn stated. "What if you and Grayson were going strong for a long time and you wanted to live together? What would you do?"
"Oh boy, I don't know." I said honestly.
"Would you move to California?" She asked.
"I don't know. Probably not because the boys like living there but that's not their home. Their hearts are in New Jersey, like mine is in Minnesota. So I don't know." I really was now thinking about a situation like that. "If it came down to it, I'm sure we would figure something out."
"Well good, because the way you guys are going, I'm sure you'll have to figure it out." She said, making me roll my eyes.
*PRESENT*
"You sure you're ready to tell them Ashlea?" My mom had asked.
Ethan, Grayson and I were all going over to Nessa's house. On my way there, I'm picking up Johordan and paytn is meeting us at her house. It was a nicer day this spring so she was going to have a fire this evening.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." I nodded.
"Well okay. I love you! See you all when you get back!" I grabbed my purse and we headed out the door. I grabbed my phone and texted Johordan that I was leaving my house.
"What were you and your mom talking about before we came upstairs to leave?" Grayson asked as I pulled out of the driveway.
"Oh well I've been thinking, along with the business, I'm gonna start selling some paintings too. I talked to mom about it and she thought it was a great idea."
