"Aw they get along so easy"
"Why do we even have to care about them Taylor?"
Taylor glares at Tyler

Meanwhile

"Hey Aiden can you get the first aid kit from the bus? We have to restock it"
"Sure"
Aiden walks into the bus, before he steps up the second step he hears Taylor talking.
"Why should we care..? Oh well I don't know maybe because-"
he was going to greet them but notices Taylor is having a serious conversation and doesn't want to exactly interrupt so he sits and listens.
"Ashlyn has been alone HER WHOLE LIFE, she's never really gotten along with people ever since she was a kid ,she's always been lonely.. now she has us and she's actually getting along with us, this is probably the most I've ever seen her talk to someone. How could I just not care? Ashlyn looks so happy with Aiden she ALWAYS laughs with Aiden" Taylor looks at Ben, she asks
"What about Aiden? Has he ever been actually close to someone?"

Ben looks down, grabs his book and starts to write, all eyes were on him for a few moments. Ben turns the book with the words
"Not really he's a pretty extroverted person but like he said to Ashlyn he'd just talk to people to kill time and wait to move to the next place he never cared about them, they never cared about him."
"See Tyler! I consider Ashlyn my friend and i'm happy I was able to get close to her"

Aiden smiles at the thought that Ashlyn likes spending time with him. He walks up after a few seconds of silence
"Hey guys what're you doing?"
Taylor stiffens
"Uh hey Aiden did you hear what we were talking about..?"
"Oh- you guys were talking? I just came it was pretty silent so I wanted to say hey"
Everyone relaxes
"Oh yeah we were just talking"
"Okay I'm going back out sorry for disturbing"
"Alright bye"
"Thank god he didn't hear.."
Logan looks out the window to see Aiden and Ashlyn, you could see she lit up as soon as she talked to Aiden it was the same for Aiden
"Taylor's right..they do look happy together" They all once again, gather near the window watching them

Aiden leaves the bus but he isn't really happy, he felt bad for Ashlyn
"Finally what took you so long"
Aiden look down at Ashlyn, he smiles.
All he could about was what Taylor said
"Ashlyn looks so happy with Aiden"those words really meant something to him
"I think i can finally admit it. I do like Ashlyn.. I love liking Ashlyn so so much"
"Hey Aiden? Hello?"
Aiden put down the first aid kit and hugged Ashlyn.

Ashlyn stood there, confused but she felt all warm and tingly she could feel herself getting hot, blush rushing to her cheeks
"I-"
"Shh"
Ashlyn hugged Aiden back with a smile, they stay like that for a few moments until Aiden finally lets go
"Oh.. uh sorry-" Aiden smiles sheepishly
"I mean I hugged back so I guess I didn't really mind" Ashlyn looks down and picks up the first aid kit
"What was that hug for?"
She starts to refill the kit with other items
"It's nothing I just felt like it.."
Aiden starts to help her

"Okay so you're telling me that they still haven't admitted they like each other?" Tyler sits there flabbergasted

"Yep pretty much- Ben said that he is pretty sure that Aiden likes her but when I talked to Ashlyn she said nothing will ever happen" Taylor groans

"How can they act like a couple, literally flirt before and they still say they don't like each other.The tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife. they're so blind" Tyler groaned

"It probably will take time for Ashlyn to actually open up" Logan tried to support them but he knew that they were actually just super oblivious

"We just have to come up with a plan I don-" Taylor was interrupted
"I have a idea actually" Logan interrupted Taylor

The 3 turn to Logan
