Chapter 20
Me: Holy crap, we're going camping tomorrow aren't we?!?!I texted Ashton realizing the trip had completely slipped my mind.
Ash: did you forget again?... lol
Me: well obviously. I haven't even packed yet ugh.
Ash: hahah good luck with that. I gtg, I'll cya tmr <3
Me: ok cya <3
I face palmed, knowing it was going to take a couple hours to finish packing. Especially since I wasn't sure what I was packing. We would only be gone for three days, but still, thats a lot of packing.
I was really excited for this trip, we would be away from everything and everybody and I'd get to spend three whole days with Ash, just Ash (and our parents of course, but still). I always loved these camping trips. Me and Ash always got a lot closer(if thats even possible at this point) and I always felt really relaxed.
I finished packing and was now setting my alarm for four o'clock. Ew, I know. I could sleep on the way there though. This was an out of the state thing, so I would have plenty of time to sleep. With that though, I went to sleep.BING!!! BING!!! My alarm blared in my ear, letting me that it was time to get up. I grunted and shut it off. I opened my phone to see a text from Ashton,
Ash: Goodmorning:) I hope you slept well, my fam will be there in about forty-five minutes to pick you up!
Holy crap! I only had fifteen minutes to get ready. I guess I got the time wrong. It was now five past four and I was scrambling out of bed.
I ran to the bathroom and brushed my hair and put it in a messy bun and I brushed my teeth. I washed my face and didn't bother with putting any makeup on considering we would be in the middle of nowhere.
I looked my outfit and shrugged. It was what I wore to bed, just some grey sweats and a black tank top, and it was really comfy, so I decided to just wear that. The ride to the campsite we were going was about five and half hours away and I wanted to feel comfy.
I went downstairs and put on some old vans and ate a bowl of cereal. Just as I put my bowl in the sink I heard a car outside. My parents usually go on the camping trips but they had work. So it was just me and Ashton's family.
I walked out of the house grabbing my bags and locking the door behind me. I dropped one of my bags and Ashton got out of the car. "need some help?" He asked bending down to grab the bag I had dropped. "yeah, thank you!" "you're welcome." He brought me into a side hug with his free arm and kissed the side of my head. There was a huge grin on my face and butterflies in my stomach. He still had his morning voice, which was really hot. His hair was really messy, he had black joggers on and a grey shirt with bold letters spelling Adidas in navy blue across the front. My lord, it's like he gets more beautiful every time I see him.
He opened the trunk and threw all my stuff in. I got in the car and scooted in so he could get in on that side. "Goodmorning Mr. And Mrs. Walter! How are you guys?" I ask as Ashton gets in the car and closes the door. "honey, call us by our first names. Its been over ten years now." She laughs "yes ma'am" I laugh, I guess I've just thought it would be disrespectful to not say mr. And mrs.Ashton's pov
I was feeling really tired, I hadn't slept very good last night. I don't know why, but I just keep on picturing Blake and Emma being together. I know they aren't together anymore, but he took her first kiss. That sounds stupid, but I don't know, I guess I just always imagined I'd be her first kiss. Yeah, I'm just worried that she will get back together with him and then I'll never have my chance.I scooted to the middle seat so that I could be closer to Emma. She moved closer to me and played her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around her and rested my head on hers. Not long after we were both asleep.
"We're here!" My dad said/yelled, waking me and Emma up. We both unbuckled and got out of the car. She stretched and yawned, then smiled at me. "thanks for being my pillow." She said with a slight giggle. "anytime" I smiled and went to the trunk to help get our stuff.
We hiked to our spot, which was about two miles from where we parked the car. It was a beautiful spot, there was a big creek that ran into the woods, and behind it was a huge mountain that was covered with snow. The trees were evergreens and they were all bunched together shadowing the forest.
We decided to put our tents closer to the woods since it wasn't as rocky.
We had two tents, my parents would be in one, and me and Em would be in the other. I know what you're thinking 'my parents would never let me do that' 'what kind of parents do you have?' But my parents trust me and Em a lot, and me and Emma know that, so we would never do anything to break that trust. Plus our tents are literally right next to each other.
Me and Em decided to go exploring and pick up some wood for a fire. She looked really cute with her "i don't care" look (my favorite look btw). "you look cute." Wait. What? Did I really just say that? Out loud?? Her face told me she was just as shocked. There was a slight tint of red on her cheeks and she began to smile. "well thank you, I try." She laughed, knowing she put no effort whatsoever into how she looked right now. "you don't look bad yourself." She stated making me smile. "thanks for noticing, it took like two hours to get this beautiful hair." I said, touching my hair. She laughed, as did I. "so... do you think you and Blake will get back together?" I asked nervous for her reply. "hmm, I don't know. I highly doubt it. I just didn't really like him like that." She shrugged. "why not?" I asked, curious. "i don't know. I just didn't feel like loved him, ya know. Like I know I only knew him for a few weeks, but I think love is something you know." "have you ever "felt" love?" "i think so." She said, surprising me. "with who?" I asked, wouldn't she have told me about this?? "i don't want to tell you, you know him." She said. "well I wont say anything, you know I wont." "i know, it's just that, well, I don't want to ever accidentally slip out." She stumbled over her words. "mhmm sure, well tell me what it feels like." "its like every time I look at him, I cant help but smile and when he looks at me, butterflies swarm. When he smiles I cant imagine anything being more perfect. His voice is the most soothing thing ever, and even the slightest touch, literally just when our arms brush, I feel fireworks and I guess thats what it feels like. For me anyways." She looked down. I need to know who she's talking about. She really doesn't hang out with any guys, so this is coming as a shock to me. I was a bit heartbroken, but honestly, I felt like she was talking about me. I know that seems cocky, but I feel the exact same way around her as she just said she feels around whoever she's taking about. "wow." I finally say. "you have to tell me who it is." I stop walking. She turns around. "maybe later." " no, now." "i will tell you, I'm just not ready for anybody to know yet." "ughhh, you are so stubborn." I say as I start walking again.
