Beautiful Scars [1] ✔

Chapter Fifteen

I sat in my seat, reading on Wattpad, occasionally looking up every now and then to glance at Aston and Charlie engaged in a conversation. He would glance at me sometimes at the same time I would him, and the glance turned into a stare, which lasted at least five minutes until the other broke it.

I plugged in my headphones, turning the volume high, so I could block out everything. I didn't really understand why I got so mad at Charlie in the first place. It wasn't her fault she liked Aston. It just happened. Speaking of liking someone, I checked my messages. The last message I had from Matthew was when we left, which was an hour ago.

Chad took a turn to the right, entering the gas station, and as soon as he stopped, everyone piled out, except me, and Aston poked his head in, and I turned to glance at him.

"Hey, Sofa, you want anything?"

I shrugged. "No. I'm good."

He nodded, then closed the door, and I dialed the number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Mrs. Tilly!"

"Hi, dear! How are you? Is there car trouble? Is everything okay? Are you -"

I interrupted with a laugh. "We're fine, Mrs. Tilly!"

"Okay, dear! Don't do that! You scared me half to death!"

"Listen, I don't want to be a bother, but do you know anything about a girl named Ashley? She's going on a camping trip with Matthew for spring break."

"Ashley? You couldn't be talking about Ashley Forrester, could you? Matthew and Ashley were inseparable when they were kids! They haven't seen each other for a year or two, but they still have their annual camping trip. Sweet, isn't it?"

I smiled. "Yeah, it is sweet. Listen, I gotta go, I'll call before I go to bed, okay?"

"Okay, sweetie, have fun!"

I hung up the phone and went on the internet, using my phone as a source. I went to Google and typed "Ashley Forrester."

Within seconds, I had a whole search list. I decided to check Facebook, typing in Matthew Reynolds in the search bar. When his profile popped up, I scrolled through his set of friends, trying to find a girl named Ashley. No such luck.

I then tried Instagram. I typed in Ashley Forrester, and suddenly a profile popped up. The profile pic was of a pretty girl. She had blonde hair, and hazel eyes, just like Matthew. Her most recent picture was of a big family, Matthew included. The description was basically "Camping with the fam <3 <3".

I decided no harm against her, but still decided to check recently. I decided to make an Instagram. I entered my email and made this password that was easy to remember, my username was basically Pretty_Gurl15 and my profile pic was of some random girl that I found, courtesy of Google. I followed her, and within two minutes, I got a notification saying she accepted, and followed back.

I installed the Instagram app, and as it loaded, I looked out the window, just to see Aston and Charlie, laughing, both holding shopping bags as they walked to the van.

They got into the car, and so did Melissa and Chad.

"Ready?" Aston asked.

I nodded, grinning. "Ready!"

I was awoken by nudging, and I groaned, rubbing my eyes. "What's going on?"

I opened my eyes to see Aston hovering over me. "We're here."

Isat up quickly, my eyes entranced with the sight of the beach.%
