The scent of his sweatshirt only made you miss him more, but you still wore it. You put the hood on as you got in the car and slouched in the passenger seat.

"I can't believe you." Your dad says, getting into the drivers seat, chuckling.

"What? What'd I do?"

"You know you and your mom are very alike... it took me four times before she finally decided she wanted to be with me. That was in high school."

"Wow dad," You laugh. "no comment."

"Look you have his sweatshirt and everything." He chuckles.

"Okay dad, let's change the subject." You roll your eyes playfully.

He shrugs and laughs. "Alright fine, but I gotta see something happen SOMETIME soon."

"Oh we'll see." You say as you put your seat back. You were pretty tired, so you slept the rest of the ride back.

You knew Asher wouldn't be able to respond as fast and wouldn't respond for at least a couple hours, so you didn't really know what to do once you got home. Then you got a text from Annie.

After that, you decided to sit in your bed and watch Netflix. Before you could actually choose something, your dad called you to eat lunch with him and your mom.

It was 11:00 in the morning, so it was an earlier lunch than usual. You went and sat at your kitchen table with your parents, confused.

For one, you never really eat lunch at the kitchen table, you were usually allowed to eat in your room or anywhere else as long as you didn't make a mess.

And second, it was either one parent or the other that sat with you at the table. Your parents were always pretty busy, so you were used of not always eating together.

"Why are we eating so early?" You ask.

Your mom and dad give each other a look. Now you definitely knew something was going on.

"I mean, it's nothing too bad." Your dad shrugs. "We just want to let you know that we need to start boxing and packing things."

"So," Your mom pauses. "I would like if you started putting things in the boxes downstairs, and maybe throwing out anything you don't want anymore, I don't think it's a bad idea to start early. But otherwise that's all."

"Oh okay, sounds good."

They made it seem like it was something big, but thankfully it wasn't.

After eating, you started going through your closet to throw out stuff you didn't want. You ended up finding some of your old school stuff from when you were in public school.

Then that gave you an idea.

Since you'd be moving, you wouldn't actually know any of your neighbors or anyone around your area. You've only been in Arizona, and there's gonna be new people. You really wanted to try and get back into public school. You hadn't been in public school for awhile, and maybe it was time for more socializing in your life.

But you also weren't sure of how nice and welcoming people would be there, so your idea might've been a bad one. But who knew?

Another con of going back to public school was the fact that you wouldn't really be able to see Asher as much as you'd like to. You'd probably only be able to see him on weekends.

Then your mom calls your name.

"Y/n!! You left your phone in the kitchen, Asher's calling!" She yells. You quickly run to the kitchen and grab your phone happily. He was finally off the plane.

"Thank you mom." You smile, looking at his name on your screen "ash💙" then you answer and go back to your room.

"Hi Asher!!" You say, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hey y/n! I miss you!!"

"Aw, I miss you. Whatcha doing?"

"We just got off the plane like five minutes ago, just thought I'd check on you before we head to our hotel."

"Okay, well I'm doing good over here, I just want your hugs." You sigh, he chuckles.

"Aw angel, I wish I could give you all the hugs in the world."

His hugs were your favorite, and he knew that.

"You're so sweet ash, oh also, I have a question."

"What would that be?"

"What do you think about me going back to public school?" You ask him hesitantly.

"Public school?" He pauses. "I haven't been there in a looong time. But If you really want to go then go, as long as it makes you happy."

"Really? I just think it could shorten how much time we spend together."

"I mean yeah in a way, but if that's what you want then I don't want to stop you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I can make time for you."

"You're the best Asher."

"So are you." He chuckles. "Okay I gotta go now, we can call later on tonight okay?"

"Aw, okay. Bye, love you."

"I love you too, bye."

You wish he could've been on call longer, but you also knew he was busy. You continue going through your closet and organizing your room, then sit on your phone for awhile.

And of course, Asher was all over your feed on almost every social media app you had. You liked scrolling through some of Asher's fan accounts to see what they thought of you or just to see cute fan stuff, and you'd sometimes find some fan accounts of you. It was nice, but it sometimes felt like the whole world wanted to remind you that Asher wasn't home. You went to your snap memories to see all the recent pictures you and him took, making you feel a little better.

He always knew exactly what to do to make you smile and laugh, and somehow you made him smile and laugh too. It was weird, Asher Angel, liking a random girl from his hometown instead of a girl that actually has something going for her life, like Annie. Or the many other pretty girls you see on social media.

But instead, he chose you.
