Key word yet.

But I did find one guy that I liked and he didn't like me back. My parents called me once a week, just to check up and see how I was doing. They asked if this "guy" ever came back yet, and I told them that he wasn't due for another 3 months. Ashton and I were still texting and talking, and he wanted to hear my voice and see my face, but he didn't get anything, just my sarcastic response in reply. He was too shy too admit it, but I could tell that Ashton had a big crush on me. Not like the normal crush, but like over the top crush. Ashton made sure to hide it, but it was cute when he broke down. Most of the time though he was asking about me, to try and figure me out.

It was 1 month til we could meet and Ashton and I were over the moon. He couldn't believe it, and he never got around to "5071." Which I was fine about. I never broke down in front of him, even if he pushed it. I was always happy. Until it wasn't. I got called by my dad that my mom and the baby; Ajay, along with Lola, Layla, and Bailey had all got in a car accident, and that they all died on impact. I gasped into the phone, and I told my dad that I would be at the funeral. My dad wasn't having any of it though, he wanted me to stay in California. I tried to argue against him, but Zak got on the phone and basically yelled at me to not come. Harsh, more like. I nodded my head and hung up the phone.

After that call, I left my phone on the bed, with Ashton's texts coming in. I just grabbed my money and left Ashton's house. He agreed that I could stay in it, until he arrived.

I was out for about 2 hours, but it was enough for Ashton to worry and to have like 200 text messages waiting for me. I never ignored Ashton's messages, but today I wasn't having any of it. My mom's death hit me hard, and hearing my dad sound like abusive, is what I didn't want for my family. It felt like my family fell apart, because you could understand that my mom was basically the glue that held us all together, and without her, we were all mad and irritated at each other.

I waited until the next day and after my shift til I texted Ashton back. To say he was worried was an understatement.
