CHAPTER 16 - Talk

"Ashlyn?"

"Hm?" The redhead turned her head, lifting it up and was abit surprised to find the H/C hair girl looking at her. "Ah, Y/N. What are you doing up?" Her voice hitched with surprise as she stared into the girl's E/C eyes beside her.

"Couldn't sleep." She replied while turning away from her emerald eyes. "I wonder what the others are thinking. Mostly thinking that this is all just a dream perhaps, yeah... I hope."

Silence hung for a time as the two kept their eyes from meeting each other. Ashlyn could sense the atmosphere of tension and tried making light of the situation, but not before replying to her question.

"I wouldn't know. Though, for now, we'll just have to wait and see." Ashlyn had her gaze fixated on the ceiling, staring at it with thoughts in mind.

The room became silent as the two girls shared a moment of peace, relinquishing some of their worries momentarily from the comfort of each other. Y/N honestly felt relaxed in the company of Ashlyn, which surprised her because she hadn't felt comfortable with someone other than her current relative. That one feeling when having someone close, even if it's just silence, but that didn't bother her because as long as there's someone there it just makes every situation better. She enjoyed this, but only silently.

Ashlyn on the other hand was in thought, thinking while trying to keep herself awake at the same time as it was said with Y/N as she too was slowly finding herself getting sleepy. Despite that Ashlyn had a thought, something she just discovered, and that was that the presence of Y/N's company made her feel surprisingly at ease. (Y'all are so alike :)

The silence remained as they sat quietly while in their thoughts. However, an unexpected, yet familiar voice joined in their peaceful silence.

"Whatcha y'all talking bout?" Aiden asked as he sat up while glancing around the room and turning his focus to the two girls.

"Aiden? What are you still doing up?" Ashlyn looked at the blonde with a slightly arched brow.

"Same as Y/N." He said in a nonchalant tone while a smile slowly emerged on his face.

"Well, shouldn't you be doing the mental exercises as I said?"

"I was, but then I got bored."

Ashlyn looked at the blonde with an unknowing expression, staring at him briefly, and turned away as she lowered her head slightly while breathing out a closed-eye sigh. Aiden stared at the two girls for a few seconds before taking the initiative for himself.

"Mind if I'd join?"

Y/N sat there silently whilst the ginger-headed girl-Ashlyn was contemplating her decision.

"Sure..." Ashlyn had some doubts, but just kept an unsure look without any of them noticing as she turned her head to the side slightly.

Aiden then made his way over to the wall where the two girls were located but was heading in the direction of Y/N. Ashlyn and Y/N moved over slightly with the amount of space they had remaining to make him sit. He sat down and then looked directly at Y/N with a smile which made her look his way.

The two stared at each other, Y/N looked into the blonde crimson-red eyes, which somehow reminded her of a lot of rubies and Redstone. However, this did make her wonder.

'I never noticed before, but... how come his eyes are red? Does he perhaps have contacts or something?' Logically speaking, this is the first time she's ever met someone with red-colored eyes, which is interesting and unique, to his character at least.

On the other hand, Aiden seemed to find himself in abit of a trance, but not entirely since he was just staring at her face while also keeping eye contact.
