Ashton's POV

"ASHTON FLETCHER IRWIN, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED!", Mum screamed at me as she stood at the foot of my bed.

I groaned and looked at my alarm clock to see it was 6:47am. I slowly opened my eyes, only to shut them again when the bright sun reflected into my lazy eyes.

"Mum, it's only 6:50am and it's Saturday, go away", I mumbled into my pillow that was covered in drool.

I heard footsteps walking towards me, before mum grabbed the end of my blue duvet and pulled it off me. I gasped at the sudden feel of cold air hit my body, but managed to warm up again.

She sat next to me. "Did you forget where we're going today?", She replied looking at her silver watch. "Actually, where we're going in three hours?".

I thought for a while, but couldn't remember anything planned for today.

"Where are we going?", I asked, sitting up in my bed.

She sighed. "Your Aunty's bach for the weekend", She smiled.

I rolled my eyes and fell back down on my bed. I hate going to Aunty Rose's bach. It takes 2 hours to drive there, and when we get there, it's so boring because there's nothing to do.

I usually just sit on the couch on my phone, or go down to the river and skim stones or something. But apparently it's Aunty Rose's birthday, so she's having a party with a few friends...how fun. A party with people in their mid 40's.

"Do I have to go? I'm responsible, so can I stay here?", I asked, while rubbing my eyes with my hands.

Mum handed me my glasses from my bedside table, and I put them on. "Sweetie, I know you're responsible, and I know you don't enjoy going to your Aunty's bach", Mum said. "But, it's her birthday, and she would like to see you, hun".

I sighed. "...Fine", I agreed to go.

Well...this weekend was gonna be boring as fuck.

"Go get ready, hun. We're leaving in a few hours.", Mum smiled, before she walked out of my bedroom.

I sighed and walked over to my wardrobe. I quickly changed into a black and yellow batman t-shirt, and plain black skinny jeans, before tying up my black converse and making my way to the bathroom, down the hallway.

I brushed my teeth, washed my face and ran a hand through my curly hair, before walking down stairs to the living room. I saw mum packing frantically, and dad was sitting on the couch, reading the daily newspaper.

"Wow, mum", My eyes widened as I saw the items in the 3 suitcases. "We're only staying for two nights, why all the unnecessary clothes and shit?".

She took a deep breath and looked up at me. "Shut up, Ash", She joked. "If you wanna complain about the quantity of clothing, why don't you pack your bag yourself?".

I threw my hands up. "No, no, I'm not complaining", I replied.

"That's what I thought", She sassed.

I sat on the couch, searching through the TV channels. There was nothing good on, probably because it was 7:00am, so I turned the TV off.

"Right, boys", Mum stood up. "Get in the car, we're off".

I looked at the time on my phone. "What, not now. It's only one past seven, mum. You said we're leaving in three hours".

She shrugged and smiled. "I lied...oops".

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my suitcase. I wheeled it outside to the car, before dad shoved it in the car-boot. "Motherfucker", Dad mumbled.

I let out a small laugh. "That's what you get when you let mum pack everything, she goes overboard", I opened the car door.

"Tell me about it".

I got in the back seat and pulled out my phone and headphones. Soon after, mum and dad jumped in the car as well, before dad started the car engine.

"Here we go", Mum said cheerfully.

I rolled my eyes and put my headphones in. 2 hours of this...great.

So, this is the 1st chapter. Sorry that it's short, I will try to make them longer.

Also, sorry if this book is boring, I'm writing it for fun, so it will probably be boring:) XD
