Unexpected

12.

"Why can't i just stay here?" I asked my mother while i put my bags in the car.

It was only 2 days after my mom told the news and things were already changing. We were moving in with Ashton and his roommates.

"Because i don't want you to destroy the house and you're a part of this family, whenever you like it or not." She said firmly to me.

"But isn't it moving a bit to fast? Your treatment doesn't start until next week and those guys are almost complete strangers. "

"Becky stop complaining. I want to move in with Ashton because i love him and Ashton and his roommates will keep you and Jack company when I'll be in the hospital." She said closing the trunk of the car. All of our stuff was loaded in the car, ready to move.

"Why couldn't he just live here?" I said with my arms crossed, refusing to get into the car.

"Our house is not big enough. Now get into car." She spoke angry, i was getting on her nerves.

"Only if I'm not grounded anymore." I said with a smirk.

"Fine but don't give me a reason to regret that decision."

I got into the passenger seat with a big smile. Adam was coming to pick me up to go to band practice tonight and i didn't need to lie about that anymore. I only had to tell her that a boy was picking me up which was going to be hard.

"Adam is picking me up tonight." I said out of no where to my mother.

"Who's Adam and where is he taking you?" She asked with her eyes still focused on the road.

"He's a guy from school , he's got a band and he invited me to play something with them." I said not in the mood to completely lie about it.

"Fine but i want you back by 12 and i want to meet him before you leave." She said looking at my for a brief moment.

"And don't be any later than 12. You might not have school tomorrow but that doesn't mean that you're allowed to be out late."

"Sure"

I wasn't planning on being back by 12 but i just was happy that my mom allowed me to leave. Normally i wouldn't even have asked her and just sneaked out but i didn't think that i could do that at Ashton's house, atleast not on the first day.

"We're here." My mom said happily while we pulled into the driveway of a huge house.

"Jesus christ, are you sure that only 4 people live here." I whispered under my breath to my mother.

"Please be nice to them. I want you to make a good first impression. " she turned around and looked at Jack who sat in the backseat. "That also counts for you. No silly business."

We all got out of the car. I held Jack's hand as my mom gave Ashton a long hug, as if they didn't see each other yesterday.

The other guys also walked out of the house with big smiles in their faces. Only one of them was unfamiliar to me.

Jack let go of my hand and ran over to Luke to give him a big hug. It made me angry that Jack would rather be with an almost unfamiliar man instead of his own sister.

I took a deep breath and put on a fake smile as i followed my mom into the house. I gave all the guys handshakes and empty smiles. I learned that the unfamiliar guy was named Michael, he was a oncologist and was going to treat my mother.

The idea of living with your doctor kinda weirded me out but i guess that my mother didn't care.

It felt weird to have male presence in my home environment again. I hadn't had that in almost a year. This whole situation started to overwhelm me.
