Changing The Future

CHAPTER XVII

○°~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~°○

Asher was allowed to leave the nurse's office and that's why he's standing in front of the doors of Mr. Primson's mansion. He opens the front door and sees A standing in front of them. She was waiting for them. Or more specifically Asher. Asher runs to A and hugs her. She hugs him back. "A. I missed you." Asher says. A pushes Asher away in shock. Wasn't this what she saw in her vision? "Is something wrong A?" Asher asks, confused thinking he did something wrong. "Oh nothing. I just thought about something." Alice walks over to them. "Alice, father wants to talk to us." A says with a smile. "I understand." Alice says eyeing Asher. A embraces Asher and looks at Alice with a smirk. "I'll see you later." She lets go. "Bye Asher." Alice walks away with A following her. "Bye." Asher waves at them as he watches them walk away. Asher sighs and looks around. What can he do now? He's all alone again. He misses his parents. He has so much to tell them. But he has a new family now and he's happy with them.

Asher has been walking around the mansion for some time now, but he couldn't find anyone. He decides to go to Alice's room and knocks on the door but no answer. He knocks again. But sadly, no answer. "I'm coming in." Asher opens the door and looks around. No one. He was just about to leave when he heard a sound. He turns around and sees one of the walls opening. What is happening? He can hear voices coming from behind the wall. The voices belong to A, Alice, and their father. What were they doing behind a wall? He can hear them coming closer. Deciding he doesn't want to be seen he quickly exits the room and closes the door. Alice walks into her room and notices her bedroom door close. "Asher was here." Alice says, narrowing her eyes towards the door. A and her father look to where Alice is looking. "Are you sure?" A asks, pursing her lips. "Yes. I heard footsteps and saw the door close." The wall closes behind them. "Well let's hope it's Asher and not someone else." A says. "Or let's hope Alice saw wrong. Either way, someone saw us and now we have to deal with it." Their father says in a serious tone.

Alice walks over to Asher's room. She knocks on the door. They had decided that it was the best choice to send Alice. Mr. Primson would just be intimidating, and Alice didn't want A to go. Even though A is close with Asher, in these kinds of situations she can go over the top. "Come in." She can hear Asher say from the other side of the door. She opens the door and walks inside his room. Asher is laying on his bed looking at his phone. "What did you do the whole time we were speaking?" Asher turns off his phone and puts it away. He turns his head to look at Alice and sits up. "I was walking through the mansion. I didn't see or hear you guys anywhere, so I went back to my room. Where were you guys?" Alice cocks an eyebrow at him. Could it be that Asher was the one who saw the wall opening while he was searching for them? "We were in my father's room." Alice says hoping Asher won't ask more. "That would make sense. I didn't check his room." "But I didn't hear you guys talking as I passed his room." Asher says while looking Alice in her eyes. Asher's asking too many questions. "Soundproof walls. Now I noticed that you like my sister." Alice says changing the subject. "I like her a little bit. Is it obvious?" Alice hoped that she was wrong. She should be happy that Asher likes her sister. Her sister also seems to like him. To some extent. She shakes her head "No. Not really, but I'm just really observant." "Oh." Asher says facing away from Alice. A blush creeps up his face. "Why don't you ask her on a date?" "A..a..a d..date?" Asher says caught off guard. "Yeah. I think she likes you too." Asher starts to think about it. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Asher asks uncertainly. To be honest, no. But she needs him to think about something else for a while instead of a wall opening. "You could always ask her to hang out as a friend." Asher starts to think about it. He hasn't gone out for a while. Going as friends won't be that bad. "Okay, I'll ask her." Asher stands up and walks out of the room. "Good luck!" Alice says to nobody as Asher already left the room. Now she has more time to ask her father what they should do about Asher seeing the wall.
