Loving You / Paul Lahote - [EDITED]

2 - [EDITED]

Days went by quickly and eventually became weeks. Ashley missed Edward, all of her family did but they tried not to show it, especially around Ashley.

History was her last lesson before the lunch break and Ashley threw her stuff to the table in frustration. "Hey, kiddo, what has gotten into you?" her father asked her.

Ashey groaned. "You cannot possibly believe what Mrs.Ryland gave out as a project!" she responded.

She liked Mrs.Ryland's lesson, history. Other than her family witnessing most part of history, she really enjoyed the past. Learning about it made her feel closer to her family and know about their lives before her. But the teacher, not very much.

"Cmon, what could be that bad?" Jasper asked her with a smirk.

Ashley rolled her eyes. "She wants us to get to know our local history better. So she wanted us to be in groups and research. I got paired with Bella and guess what is our topic. The tribe. Quil, something. We need to go to La Push and get some photos with the natives and all. So, nothing I can copy off the internet,"

She realized her family getting stirred up by the mention of the name. "Uhm, Quileute?" Rosalie asked her daughter.

Ashley nodded. Rosalie furrowed her eyebrows. "Oh, absolutely not!" her mother exclaimed loudly.

"Rose," Emmett started but Rosalie shut him with her glares. "Emmett, do you honestly expect me to let our daughter into there?"

"Uh, hey, hello, what's up?" Ashley asked, interrupting her parents.

Everyone turned to her with bitter expressions on their faces. Ashley waited for an answer but none of them spoke up. Ashley sighed.

"Can't you switch the topic?" her father asked her.

Ashley shook her head. "I don't think so, and, what is it that you're not telling me?" she asked again, this time expecting an answer.

The answer didn't come, again, and Ashley sighed in frustration. "Fine, have your adult secrets," she said angrily as she got up.

She walked over to Angela's table. "Hey guys, do you mind if I sit?" she asked them. After the acceptance, she quickly sat down.

"Hey," Angela said to her. Ashley turned to her friend. "Is everything alright?"

She shrugged. "Because your siblings are looking over here and they do not look happy," Angela said.

Ashley turned around and looked at her family. Especially her mom seemed furious. She turned back. "Yeah, we're just arguing over something," she said.

Then Ashley turned to Bella. " Hey Bella, how should we do the history project?" If her parents didn't want to tell her Ashley was sure as hell that she was going to find out herself.

"Uhm, I actually have a friend who lives there, maybe we can ask for his help," Bella responded.

Ashley smiled. " Great, when can we go?"

Bella shrugged. "I don't know, whenever you're free, I guess, I am sure Jacob's not busy," she answered.

Ashley leaned back on her chair and smiled. She knew damn well that her parents were listening to her conversation. "Super, can we go today, after school?"

It took a lot of effort to avoid her parents, but Ashley managed to get on Bella's truck and they started driving. Bella had called his friend and he was okay with them coming.

While they were driving Ashley's phone blew up with calls from her family and she ignored all of them. When she caught a break, she quickly texted them, letting them know of her whereabouts.
