Turning Point (A.I.)

chapter 22- what do we do now

i pack everything up on the verge of tears and walk back to my car. i have no clue wear i am and no clue how to get back to ashton's house. it was a thirty minute ride to the park so it's obviously a thirty minute ride back there, but we did have to take a large highway to get here.

tears start to fall from my face as i soon as i step foot in the car. it's been a nightmare today and my boyfriend just left me alone with someone who could potentially hurt me or my child. i'm not sure if we're broken up, all i know is that i want ashton in our child's life.

with all the crying, i didn't even begin to realize that i was in fact shivering. i was wearing jeans and a shirt and the october weather was providing weather that implies that it will be a super cold winter.

i back my car out of the parking lot and attempt to remember the major points that we hit on the way here. i have stopped crying by now, but i was beyond upset. soft music was playing the background and every once and a while a couple of sniffs, but mainly music.

i pass the trees that i made fun of on the way here and then find the exit i was supposed to get on. i look for exit names, but it's hard since i had to look where i was going due to going fast on a major highway. i look for signs that have the name of ashton's home town, but i can't seem to find it.

eventually, i pull off of the highway and go try to find somewhere to eat. i pull into a small diner's parking lot and sigh deeply. i hated crying because it was such a time of vulnerability. i step out of the car and lock it while walking away and into the restaurant.

i look for any sign of hostess, but i spot a sign saying seat yourself, so i simply do that. it wasn't long until a waiter came over and gave me a menu. i ordered my food and then i sat there with nothing to do. i didn't want to text ashton because i knew he needed time to process and get his emotions under control for the most part. i would be speaking to him, whether he liked it or not.

i wanted my child, correction, our child to have both of it's parents in his/her's life. it wouldn't be fair and we both did and they wouldn't. i stare down at my stomach and quickly lift my shirt up, but only a little. there was a small bump considering that i would be huge soon and i was only two and a half months pregnant. it's strange to think that there was a living child inside of me and it was depending on me to survive. i was going to deliver this child in a mere seven months and it will then continue to depend on me to live and be happy.

i sigh and pull my shirt back down and then rub my stomach a couple of times. suddenly, a boy was that i've never seen was sitting in front of me with his friend i suppose. i feel like people just show up all of the time and i don't get why.

"hello?" i question even though i attempted to say it normally.

"you look extremely familiar so i thought that sitting in front of you with my friend josh here would do the trick." he says softly with a smile.

"who are you exactly?" i ask another question. josh had red hair and small gauges while the other person had a couple visible tattoos and brown hair and a sweet smile.

"tyler. i'm not sure where i have seen you, but i know i have." he says and puts a finger up to his mouth while pondering. moments later, a loud gasp comes from his tyler's mouth and i almost jump. "do you know ashton irwin?" he asks with a hopeful gleam.

"yeah, he's my boyfriend." i sigh, of course that's how he knows me.

"oh, so you're brin, who wrote that song about? where is he anyway?" he asks and starts looking around. he wrote a song about me and didn't tell me?

"he's not here. i'm not actually sure where he is at the moment," i say the last part under my breath.

"where is he and i heard that last part by the way." josh finally speaks up.

"i suppose back at home, we sort of got into an argument and i'm not sure where he went." i say quietly.

"interesting, that doesn't exactly sound like ashton." tyler comments.

"well, i kind of overwhelmed him with big news, i'm not surprised he ran away. i had it coming." i say sadly.

"well, here's my number if you need anything, it was nice to meet you, brin, good luck." he says softly and slides me a piece of paper.

i watch as the two slip out of the restaurant and i was once again left with my own thoughts.
