Chapter 15

(3rd person)

As the sun rose Rebbeca slowly opened her eyes, she rubbed them getting rid of any sleepiness and sat up on her bed. A weird sensation lingered in her room and she didn't know what it was, thinking that it was probably nothing she got up and got ready for her day.

Rebbeca didn't have much planned, so she decided to walk her dog (pretend she has a dog) that morning. She had put on some yoga pants and a grey baggy sweater along with some black nike shoes, she pulled her hair up in messy bun and gotten her dog on the leash. They walked outside and headed towards the nearest park, rebbeca admiring her surroundings as she listened to music through her headphones.

(Ashton)

I had gone out to some local park that was near my hideaway, I needed some fresh air and I also needed time to think. I thought about her, Rebbeca. How did she ever manage to make me fall for her when she didn't even do anything. I rubbed my eyes getting frustrated, the photos that I had taken were all hung up in my hideaway except for the ones that I loved best. I keep those close to me wherever I go, they were in the pocket of my hoodie. I pulled them out and stare at them, there were only three pictures and they were all of Rebbeca sleeping.

I looked at them and stroked her face on the photo, just as I kept staring at the pictures. I felt a shift of weight sit next to me on the bench, I immediately put the polaroids in my pocket and looked over to see the same girl that I was just looking at. I was stunned, it almost felt like a response to my calling, she pulled out her water bottle and poured some on the lid of it, she gently held it for her dog to drink which it gladly did. I didn't know what to say or what to do, I knew I should've gotten up and left but I didn't want to.

Rebbeca looked over and glanced at me, she smiled "hey" she kindly said I looked at her and smiled back "hi." Rebbeca gave me a weird look and realized something.
"Oh my god, it's you" she said excited, I stared at her and gave her a confusing look. "From yesterday, at the gas station. You payed for my drink" she said hoping it rang a bell to me which it definitely did.

I chuckled "oh yes, your welcome. It was just a nice gesture, I'm new to this town and I'm just trying to make some friends" I lied, her eyes lit up "Your new to town?? That's so cool this town never gets new faces. Where are you from?" She asked, my heart slightly sped up because I couldn't believe she was right here with me. "New York" I said without thinking she got even more excited "shut up, no. Why would you leave New York for this! I bet the big apple is amazing" she said, I loved her smile and the way her dimples showed.

"I just wanted somewhere more peaceful and spacious" I said and Rebbeca nodded "I'll be your friend if you need one, to start you off and give you somewhere to begin" she suggested, I nodded very much loving the idea "I would love that" I smiled, she scooted closer to me. "I don't think we've probably met, My name is Rebbeca Gomez, I live nearby" she said, I already knew that but I acted as if I didn't. "My name is Ashton, I also go by Ash too and I also live nearby" I said, Rebbeca nodded and held out her hand.

"It's nice to meet you Ashton, I wanna thank you again for doing such a nice thing for me yesterday." She said, I smiled "it was nothing, I saw a pretty girl and I wanted to pay for her drink" I said, she blushed and looked down at her hands. "How old are you ash?" She asked kindly, I clenched my jaw hoping that she would not walk away if she knew I was older.

"I'm 25" I said, her face turned a slight pink "Oh yea I'm 19 so were..pretty close in age" she said, Ashton knew that she was lying. Why would she say she was older when she wasn't, I went with it even though it did bother me that she wasn't being honest. "You look younger, I didn't think you were 19" I said she shrugged her shoulders "I get that a lot, I just look younger" she said as she rubbed her thumbs together gently.

"We should hang out, would you like to come with me to a cafe tomorrow?" She asked, I thought about it acting as if I had a schedule. "Yes, I would very much like that." I said. She smiled and let her dog off the leash, she pulled out a ball and began playing with her pet.

Sorry for not updating school just started back up.
