Chapter 19: Who's that?

*Ashton's POV*

We walked into the house and there was mum.

"How was the park?"

"Fun! I love Claire!" Harry said, happily.

"Who's Claire?" she said sitting down. We joined her.

"She's Ashton's girlfriend. I mean friend. I wish she was his girl friend though." he said winking at me.

My mum raised her eyebrows at me.

"We're just friends." I told her.

"You like her right? You told me that when we were going inside." Harry said, looking confused.

He was looking at me now. "Yeah." I said, shyly.

"Ooo! Tell me about her!" mum said, excitedly.

"Well, she's new and she lives in our neighborhood."

"Tell her about Olive!" Harry laughed.

"Olivia." I corrected him. "and she's a baby.

Mum's eyes widened.

"Her little sister!" I added quickly. She seemed to relax a little. "See! Isn't she so cute?!" I said showing her a picture I took of Olivia. "Oh yea, here's Claire and Harry." I said showing her a picture I took secretly of when Harry was hugging Claire.

"She's gorgeous, Ash!" Mum said in amazement.

"I know..." I said quietly.

"Hey! You never told me you took a picture!" Harry said.

"I know." I smiled. "Claire doesn't know either." I said, pressing my index finger on my lips.

Harry copied me and nodded. I showed mum the pictures we took with the rest of the boys and Chloe and told her about Chloe and Calum. She said she recognized Chloe from the 6th grade Christmas program.

"Hey Ash and Harry!" my sister Lauren said. "Where have you guys been? I have to tell you all about what Sophie did at her house."

"You went Sophie's ?!" Harry said. "I love Sophie!"

"You love everyone." I said to him.

"We were at the park with Claire!" Harry said. " I love her too." he smiled.

"Who's Claire?" Lauren asked.

"She's Ash's friend. She has a sister named Lauren too!"

"Cool!" she said.

"Kids! Come and help me please!" she said.

We all went to help her with the drinks and utensils and we dug in.

After dinner, I decided I should text Claire.

'To: Claire<3 : Hey :)x'

'Hey <3'

'How's Olivia? I miss her already :Px'

'She was a little fussy earlier, but then I showed her your pic and she took my phone and licked it :/x'

'Aw! I'm sorry I made her lick your phone :( x'

'It's ok! She misses both of you guys too!x'

'Haz misses her like crazy. He can't stop talking about her x'

'She's my little Olive -.- lol x'

'Whatever :P x'

'I'm excited to hear you guys on Fri! x'

'Im excited to see you x'

'Haha me too! It's at Michael's house right?'

'Ya. Just get off when I get off and we can all walk together :)x'

'Mkay. I gtg :( Olivia is eating play dough :/ I'll cya at school tomorrow! x'

'Ok! Bye! ily x'

'Byee! ily2 x!'

I took my shirt off and collapsed on my bed to listen to music. I fell asleep to All Time Low, thinking about Claire.
