Turning Point (A.I.)

chapter 9- you were wrong

"you know him?"  ashton whispers towards me.  owen was still staring at the two of us, but he needed to start singing.  when he lived near me, he was an amazing singer and guitar player so he only could've gotten better.

"yeah, he was an old best friend."  i whisper in awe.  i watch owen sit down on a log in the middle and start playing a song i could easily recognize, it was the first song he ever showed me.  and it just happened to be ed sheeran's song, gold rush.  i remeber he was so happy when he could perfect it and he would sing the lyrics whenever he got the chance.  

"what is his name?  don't you find it weird that he didn't introduce himself?"  ashton whispers with a questioning tone.

"he never really liked talking, more singing and playing," i shrug.  i knew more about him than anyone else. 

"he's good," ashton comments.

"i know, now shh."  i shush him so i can listen to my best friend.

he only preformed five songs which was unfortunate because his voice only got better with puberty.  it was so fantastic to hear him play and sing again, it felt like it has been five hundred years.  i give owen time to talk to other people before bringing ashton over to meet him.

"owen?"  i tap on his shoulder since he was staring off into the distance.

"brin?  oh my, it has been too long.  how have you been and who is this fella?"  he hugs me and looks at ashton.

"you're right, it has been too long.  i've been good and this is ashton."  i introduce him and they do their manly hug.

"nice to meet you, dude.  now if you excuse me, i have to talk to brin."  he says and pulls me along to a cabin.  

he looks down at me and back up before pulling me into another hug.  he then pulls me back in, for which i assume a hug, but turns out for a kiss.  he places his lips onto mine and i retract as soon i feel them.

"woah, woah!  you need to slow down... what has gotten into you?"  i question with a look of disbelief upon my face.   

"i'm so horny and you look too hot.  i was watching you while i sang and go all i could think about was your mouth-" he starts to say all flustered.

"oh my god, owen!  no, what the fuck, i'm not doing anything for you.  just come back to my cabin and we'll talk some more."  i say not giving him much of a choice.  he follows behind me and starts asking questions.

"do you share a cabin with a hot girl who is legal?  if so, please explain to me what she looks like."

"owen you are so gross.  i share a cabin with ashton, they boy i was standing next to earlier, i introduced you two."

"you share a cabin with another guy?  you are such a whore, brin!"  he says much to my surprise.

"i would have never thought you have said that to me.  you changed so much, what happened to you?"  i question with tears starting to form.  what could i say?  i was emotional because my best friend changed and almost forced me to have intercourse with him.  

"people change whether you want them to or not.  it's not a choice you can choose if it's for the good or the worse."  he shrugs like it wasn't that big of a deal.

"i liked the old you," i say while holding my door open for him.  why was i still inviting him into my cabin?  i actually have no fucking clue and i know that i was going to regret my choice.

"sorry," he mumbles before taking a seat on my bed.

"oh hey guys?  how has catching up been?"  ashton peers up, off his phone.
