The Terrible Babysitters ( lrh afi )

11

we stop by the music store, "i dont want it here, i dont have any money, let's just go to the arcade" i said as i pulled Ashton, he shrugs his shoulders and comes with me

we play around in the arcade, he smiles and walks towards the basketball game, i shook my head and i walked away, he grabbed my arm, and held on to me, "i'll help you with this game, come on, please?" he asks, i shrug my shoulders and he pulls me

he took one ball, he lends it to me, "okay, shoot it" he smiles, "i dont want to, im not good at this.." i said, he rolled his eyes and lets out a sigh, he wraps his arms around me, puts his hand on mine, helping me to hold the ball, he shoots the ball into the ring

"see, it isnt that hard" he says, i smile, and shoot it into the ring

as the last second ends, i smile, "was it fun?" he asks, i nod, "thanks, ash" i smile, his smile starts to fade into a frown, "why are you going to leave?, we're having such fun.." he says, "it's the only way to let you guys have peace" i said

"if it wasn't for you, we couldnt have been the terrible babysitters in town, ya know" he says, "i know, but, i have to rethink everything.." i giggle

he giggles, "i'm going to miss you, and im sorry" he frowns, "at least we're okay now." i smile, he smiles and nods

we saw Luke walking around, "uh Lucas, where's the kids.." i ask, he looks at us, his eyes widen, he scratches his head, "that's what i was supposed to ask you guys" he says, "you lost the kids?!" Ashton shrieks

"sorry." Luke scratches his arm. Ashton runs out of the arcade, and quickly searches every store we pass by, i turn my gaze to the ice cream stall, and saw the babies, "over there!" i scream

we run into them quickly, and we carried them

"this is why we're terrible babysitters" Ashton says, i giggle, "why do we always lose the kids though" i say as i fool around with the baby

"we're clumsy and dumb" Luke answers

i shrugged my shoulders

i checked the time, 7AM

"oh damn, my flight leaves in an hour" i said, they both widened their eyes

let's go, i said

........

"are you ready?" Luke asks, "i dont want to go.." i frown, "i dont want you to go either" he frowns, "but i have to.." i say

Luke looks at me as he leans on the wall, "i hope you and Ashton wont be screaming at each other while im gone" i said, "of course not, you're not here anymore, what's to fight about?" he says

i looked at the time 7:30 AM, "we better leave now, we might get stuck on the traffic" i said, he nods and helps me carry my baggages

........

*ASHTON'S POINT OF VIEW* 

i looked behind to look at Kath, who's looking out the window, "are you really sure, you want to go?" i ask, she nods, "i have to.." i said

i holded back tears, she'll be back, right?

"im really sorry" i frown, "for what?" she looks at me, "heartbreak, drama and everything, im the reason for everything" i answer

"you're not" she smiles

'CAUSE IM BLEEDING OUT

SO IF THE LAST THING THAT I DO

IS BRING YOU DOWN

IM BLEEDING OUT FOR YOU

SO I BARE MY SKIN

AND I COUNT MY SINS

AND I CLOSE MY EYES

AND I TAKE IT IN

CAUSE IM BLEEDING OUT

IM BLEEDING OUT FOR YOU'

"im sorry, kath" i whisper

........

"i'm going to miss you so much" Luke says as he hugs Kath

luke looks at me, i walk towards kath, she smiles

"Kathlyn Mary, I'm sorry again" i frown, "dont call me Kathlyn, im not comfortable with it, and you dont have to say sorry" she smiles

i smile back and hugged her, "always remember that i'll always love you" i said as i hug her

"i will." she smiles, she waves goodbye and enters the airport

when her shadow has already faded away, i looked at Luke, who's standing silent, thinking deeply, sniffing

"you okay, bro?" i ask, he shook his head, "why does she have to go though" he asks me, "dont ask me, and she already told us the reason a thousand times" i said

"i'll miss her" luke fakes a smile, "i will too" i said
