I pulled into the parking lot of the local park and immediately spotted Harry and some girl kicking a soccer ball back and forth.

"I'm guessing that's Harry's new sitter?" Ashton asks, biting down on his bottom lip nervously.

"I guess so." I shrug.

"She's not as hot as his last one." He smirks, leaning over to kiss my cheek.

"Alright, enough jokes." I shake my head playfully. "Don't you want to see your brother?"

"Yeah." He nods rapidly. He quickly climbs out of the car and waits for me to reach his side before we head over to the two people.

"Ashton!" Harry shouts once he notices his older brother running towards him.

It had been a hectic school day with finals coming up in a month and a half, so I think Ashton felt relaxed being able to see his brother.

"Hey, bud." Ashton smiles, hugging the younger boy as he wraps his arms around Ash's torso.

"You must be the new babysitter." I step aside, letting the Irwin brothers catch up on a few things.

"Yeah, I'm Trinity." She smiles, showing off her dimples. She had dark brown hair and bright green eyes.

"I'm Luke. I used to be Harry's babysitter before something happened." I bit down on my bottom lip.

"Harry said something about that." She frowns. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened? I mean, why isn't his brother still living with him?"

"Ashton and I, uh," I pause. "We're a thing. I'm sorry if you don't support that, but we are." I clear my throat. "Ashton finally came out to his parents and they kicked him out."

"That's awful." She frowns. "I can't believe they would do that! They seem like such a nice family."

"That's what I thought too." I mutter. "But please don't quit now that you know this. Harry is an amazing kid and he deserves a babysitter like you. You seem great."

"Thanks." She blushes, looking down at the ground. "How much time do you have before you have to leave?"

"I'm sure we'll be here for awhile." I gesture to the two brothers who were kicking the soccer ball back and forth, chatting and laughing.

"Could I possibly get some pointers with Harry?" She asks and I nod.

"Yeah, of course."

Trinity and I sat in the grass watching Ashton and Harry play soccer while I told her all about Harry's likes and dislikes - and anything interesting that she might need to know - for about two hours. It was time for Harry to get home for dinner and bed, so everyone exchanged goodbyes and we headed in different directions.

I had found out that Trinity lived about fifteen minutes from where the Irwin's live. She had been homeschooled up until freshman year, where she started out at a school about ten minutes from Ashton and I's high school. She didn't play any sports, but she liked to draw. I had told her she would have to show me some of her stuff sometime. I definitely approved of her being Harry's babysitter. She was the right fit for the job.

As Ashton and I pulled into the driveway of his grandmother's lake house Ashton turned down the music which had brought silence to us the entire ride. "Thank you." He says, unbuckling his seatbelt.

"For what?" I ask, already knowing what he was thanking me for.

"Setting this up. Harry means so much to me and you can see that." He says, resting arms on top of the car, placing his chin on his muscular arms.

"You needed it." I shrug, shutting my door and walking around the car to stand next to him. "It was the least I could do since your dad kicked us out."

"Yeah." He bites down on his lip, pulling a stack full of envelopes from his backpack that he had left in the car while we were at the park. "Harry gave me these."

How had I not noticed Harry give them to him? Secondly, how did I not notice Ashton carry them back to the car when we were leaving?

"Anything interesting?" I ask.

He clears his throat, pulling the top letter out - which had already been opened - and placing the rest on the roof of the car. He pulls the folded piece of paper from the envelope and opens it, showing it for me to see. "I got accepted to my dream school." He smiles, his eyes watering from being so happy.

"Ash!" I smile, gripping his upper arms. "That's amazing!" I pull him into a hug and he wraps his arms around my waist, burying his face in the crook of my neck. "I'm so proud of you."

"We're gonna be so far away." Ashton sighs once we pull away from our embrace.

"Don't worry, babe." I smile, placing a kiss on his forehead. "We'll make it work."
