Kennedy (Also now known as Ashley):

"K, Ash don't do this." Justin pleaded as I shoved my clothes back into my luggage case. "No, no, no. I can't take this knowing that they are in the same resort as us." I snap. "You're flight is in two days, why are you packing now?" Justin groans, tugging on the strands of his hair. "Like it matters, I'll be in the room in my pyjamas for the next two days, not talking to Kory or my dad." 

Justin sighs, gently pulling me off my knee's as he guided me towards the kind sized bed. We sat down together with our arms wrapped around each other. I took in his amazing scent. "I know how you feel like it's wrong, but they did say they were going to tell you about it. Plus, Kory is twenty three she's old enough to make her own decissions." He is right but that's still not right to me. Was my mom and Kory's own mother not enough that he had to go for Mrs Pearls daughther? "I'm still going back," I whisper into Justin's ear. He smiles against my shoulder, "I know, It was worth a try though." He says, kissing the visible skin on my shoulder. 

A knock on the hotel door brings us apart, "I'll get it." Justin murmures, pressing his lips against my cheek as he gets up. I lay down on the bed and stay quiet. "I know she doesn't want to see me or her dad but we just wanted to her to get this. We understand if you two don't accept but it would mean a lot to us if you guys did," I heard Kory say to Justin. My 'boyfriend' replies to her but I didn't quite understand what he said before I heard the door shut close. 

"What did she want?" I grumble, turning onto my side so I could face him. "She gave me this, I think you should open it." He nods towards the envelope. I sit up on the bed and Justin walks into the bathroom. I sit there, staring at the white paper. Justin returns in basketball shorts as he pads over to the bed, leaning up the headboard of the bed. He stares at me patiently, waiting for me to open the envelope. I open it and take a deep breath before I start to read;

Ashley,

I know you aren't happy with what has happened and i'm sorry you had to find out like this. So i'll be honest with you, we've been seeing each other for awhile. We didn't want anyone to know because we were scared to get reactions like this. We were planning to tell you guys at the upcoming family dinner in two weeks. We understand if you don't want to come but I was even planning on inviting Kennedy to come. 

I know what happened with Carter and you're mother was hard. I also know that our family parting off was hard too. Example, Kennedy moving to Seattle to stay with Aunt Jamie, Ross being depressed for three years, you're mothers issue's as well. 

"Wait, Ross was depressed for three years?" Justin gasped and I nodded, tears swelling up my eyes. I wiped my eyes to get rid of the foggy sight and continued reading,

What happened with Kory's mother stopped and I promised to never do it again, but that changed when I got to know Kory after New Years. I know she's young and I understand how uncomfortable it is for your cousin and your old man to be in love, but we are. 

And i'm sorry I didn't tell you kids sooner. Remember this doesn't change a thing, we are still family. I hope you can see it in your heart and join us for the dinner, Justin is also invited. If you don't want to come, we understand.

-Mason & Kory

I placed the letter on the bed side table, going under the covers. Justin wrapped his arms around me, snuggling me closer into his chest. I placed my head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. Justin's thumb rubbed against my arm as we both stayed quiet for a bit, "I'll go if you don't go." Justin said out of nowhere. 

"Really?" I said in a surprised tone. He nodded, "Yeah."

"I'm not going to go." I say and Justin bites down on his bottom lip with a shrug, "Maybe Kennedy will go." He whispered, closing his eyes, placing his head back down on the pillow. I shuffled even more towards him, going back to my position from before. 

"Ya, maybe she will."
