Chapter 16
Emma's pov
Me and Ash were headed to the airport to pick up Lizzie, whose parents weren't going to be home for another two weeks due to family reasons, so she would be staying with me.  I was really excited about it and I couldn't wait to catch up with my best friend.  I had so much to tell her and I assumed she would too.

We were about forty-five minutes away from the airport and are currently jamming to 5 Seconds of Summer, (my favorite band of all time).  Ashton said he hated it, but I knew that was a lie because every time we listen to them, he sings along with me.  "kissing at the stops signs darling.  Greenday's on the radioooo" I sang, with dramatic hand gestures.  He looked at me and smiled and then started being dramatic and singing with me.  "hmm and you say you don't like them." I say when the song ends.  "i don't, but you do, so I'll sing with you for fun because you do the same for me when Drake comes on." I honestly didn't mind Drake, I just told him that so that he would be more lenient to sing songs he didn't like with me.  I smiled to myself because I'm a freaking genius.  "what is that smile about?" Crap, my cover might be blown. "ohhh nothing." I tried acting nonchalant, but acting isn't a skill I possess.  "Is Drake starting to grow on you?" He poked my arm teasingly.  "yeah, it's not like I've liked him this whole time but just told you I didn't so that you would listen to music you don't like, because you thought I listened to music you don't like.....or anything." "i'm sorry, you what?" I smiled "yep I'm a freaking genius I know." I flipped my hair sarcastically, earning a smile from Ashton who shook his head and laughed.  He turned the radio up and we listened to whatever came on until we got to the airport. 

We had been sitting at the gate waiting for Lizzie for about two hours now, her flight had gotten delayed last minute and we were already more than half-way here.  Her flight was a little less than an hour and a half so hopefully we wouldn't be here much longer.  "wanna play a game?" I asked Ashton, hoping to pass some time.  "sure, what'd you have in mind?" I thought for a second and decided that maybe twenty questions would be fun.  I basically knew everything about him but we haven't played this game in awhile, so why not? "is twenty questions ok?" "ooo haven't played this game in some time." He turned and faced me and so that we were sitting with our knees touching.  "do you want to go first?" I was hoping he would say yes because I didn't have any questions in mind. "sure, if you don't want to." "i'm good.  You go ahead." He looked up at the ceiling, trying to think of a question.  "oh, got it." He snapped his fingers and returned his gaze to me.  "if you could be in any movie, with it being true and all the stuff that happened to that character actually happened to you, which would you choose to be in and what character?" Dang, that was a really good question.  "hmm....ooo Harry Potter and I would be Ron.  That was a great question by the way."  "i know right" he said while acting like he was flipping his hair.  I smiled at him.  "you are such a child." "and you love it." He smiled and so did I.  "your turn." "ok, if you could go anywhere with anyone, where and who would you go with and why?" He thought for a second, "Ireland or Scotland and with you," "Me?" I said surprised.  "yeah you.  You are literally my favorite person and the only person, besides my family, that I would want to go to another country with.  You hardly ever get on my nerves and we always have a good time.  I just always feel relaxed and most myself with you.  So you." I could feel my cheeks heating up, why this isn't even that sweet.  Ugh stop, I tell myself, but I don't feel the heat in my face get any cooler.  I know he saw me blush because he is smiling like the insane person that he is.  "aw, same for me,  I could spend a whole entire year with you and be perfectly fine." I wasn't the one to blush this time.  He was getting the lightest hint of pink on his cheeks and a small smile on his lips.  "ok my turn," he said changing the subject.  "if you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?" There were many things, trying to pick only one was pretty tough. "probably my smile or hair." He looked at me in utter disbelief. "what?  Why?" Ugh I hated talking about this stuff. "i don't know.  My hair is always a mess and my smile is just ugly." I stated while looking at my hands so that I wouldn't have to meet his eyes.  "well those things don't need to be changed.  Your smile is beautiful, why do you think I'm always trying to make you laugh?" He smiled at me.  He tries to make me laugh? What a great friend.  I'm so lucky to have him in my life.  "and your hair might be a mess sometimes but you can pull it off quiet nicely.  you might want to change those things but I don't want those things changed and I'm pretty sure nobody else does either." I was so surprised by the words that just came out of his mouth that I didn't even hear Lizzie calling my name.  I looked over and there she was, running towards us.  I stood up and ran to her, I  hugged her so tight when we finally made it to each other.  "aw Liz I missed you so much." I said into her shoulder as we stood there hugging.  "i missed you too Em." We stayed hugging for a solid five minutes and then she went and gave Ashton a hug.  "long time no see."  Ashton said as she pulled away from their hug. "i know, I've missed you guys." She said as she put her arm around me and Ashton.  We walked to the car and started our trip back.

Lizzie was in the back seat while me and Ashton were in the front.  We were talking about her trip and what had been going on in our lives and at school.  Lizzie was supposed to stay at my house for the next couple weeks but her mom told her she couldn't because her uncle wouldn't be in town to watch her dogs any longer.  I was pretty sad about it to be honest.  I was really looking forward to a two week sleepover.  "aw, I was looking forward to it." I said sadly to her not being able to stay with me."i know, me too. That would've have given us a lot of time to catch up." "well hey the big camping trip is coming up." Ashton butted in. I had completely forgotten about our trip.  It was a tradition our family's had been doing since we were in third grade and I always looked forward to it. "oh yeah,"i said overly excited. "can you come?" "i have to watch the stupid dogs." She rolled her eyes. "aww, it was going to be your first time to go with us." I sighed a breath of disappointment but cheered things up by turning up the radio which was blasting Post Malone and we all sang along.
