"Ashton!" the waitress at Panda Express yells his name, signalling our order is ready. He pauses from the conversation and gets up to get the order. 
"Is it just me or does Ashton seem kind of on edge?" Luke looks at me, biting his lip ring worried about the situation. "I don't know. What happened in the car didn't sound good." Ashton began walking over and we quickly change the subject. "Yeah, I think I'm going to go swimming tomorrow. Would you want to come with?" Luke looks at me, his eyes filled with... Lust? What was he trying to do here? I run a hand through my hair, "Um? Sure? I don't have a swimming suit." Ashton begins sipping on his drink and handing out our orders. "That would be fun. We could actually go to the beach with everyone if you want." Ashton looks at me, clearly trying to get this to be a group thing. "We can do whatever. Doesn't really matter to me." I smiled. "I still don't have a swimsuit though." Ashton looks at me, "Didn't we buy that one you tried on?" I look at Luke then back down to my food. "No." I looked up at Ashton, "Why? I thought it was cute. And not too slutty." I laughed then looked at Luke. He was blushing. "Yeah, I just didn't really like the way my body looked in it." Luke piped up, "Why not? Ruby, you're beautiful." I blushed and looked at Ashton. He clenched his teeth but sounded calm as he spoke, "Well, I guess we should get you a bathing suit then, huh?" Ashton smiled and began eating his noodles once again. I looked at Luke beside me then back to my food. "Sounds like it." I looked up and smiled.
"Sweetheart, you've barely eaten anything. What's wrong?" I looked up at an Ashton who had his mouth chocked full of food as he said it. I looked down at my stir fry, "I don't know. I'm just not super hungry. My eyes darted to my thighs. They were enormous in these leggings. "Well we can get a box and you can eat it later in the week or something." Luke said smiling. "Yeah, that sounds good to me," Ashton smiled, "Well are you guys about done?" I nodded and looked up at Luke who was mimicking my action.

"Well then. let's go find you a swimsuit."

"Ruby, this is like the 6th perfectly good swimsuit you've tried on. You look good in all of them. What's going on?" I chimed in. Ashton shot me a look. I was definitely pushing my limits with Ashton, but I was trying to keep Ruby's spirits up. She's been through a lot in the past couple days and I want her to know that she's loved and accepted in this family. 

You could feel the tension, and could probably cut it in half with a knife. Ruby looked at me and shrugged, "I don't know, I just think the front is a little low cut." She retreated back into the dressing room to try on more swimsuits." Ashton wouldn't even look my way. 

What did I do?
