Hey guys. Sorry I took so long to update.
Here's Chapter 3!
Chapter 3
"Do you like him?" Serena asked for the millionth time.
It was after school, and the two girls were walking down the hall to get out.
"No, Serena." Hilda replied. "I just met Ash today. We're just friends."
"C'mon Hilda." The blonde said with hands on hips. "I saw you two running and holding hands in the morning."
Hilda blushed. "We were late, and he didn't know which way to go!"
"Yeah, uh huh." Serena said, unconvinced. "But you still held hands."
"So?" The brunette asked.
"So," Serena started. "Didn't you feel something?"
"Um,"
Hilda remembered the feeling of electricity she felt when her skin came in contact with his.
And she thought the cute little lightning bolt marks on his cheeks had something to do with it.
"No?"
"That is a huge fucking lie."
Hilda groaned. "Ok, I'll admit. I did feel something when I got his hand."
"Haha! I knew it!" Serena shouted and threw her arms up in the air.
"But it still doesn't mean anything." Hilda said.
"Keep telling yourself that sister." Serena replied. "Meanwhile I have to start planning the wedding."
"Serena." Hilda complained.
"Hilda." Serena said, mimicking the brunette's tone.
Hilda gave her a glare.
Serena put up her hands. "Ok, ok. I'll stop."
Hilda sighed, relieved. "Thank you."
"So where are you going right now?" Serena asked, opening the metal doors
Hilda stopped in her tracks.
She looked down.
"Ash's house." She muttered.
"What?" The blonde asked, putting her hand up to her ear.
'ѕнιт.' Hilda thought.
The brunette cringed her eyes and spoke louder. "Ash's house."
"Haha!" Serena started spinning and prancing around the schoolyard. "The wedding is gonna happen sooner than I expected!"
Hilda face reddened, and she started to walk to the parking lot.
She started to look for the car that Ash described was his.
Finally, she found the raven haired boy leaning against the hood of a red 1967 Camaro.
"No way this is your car." Hilda said.
Ash smirked. "Well it is."
He opened the door to the passenger seat. "Wanna come in?"
Hilda smiled and nodded.
Ash got in the car and Hilda soon followed after.
Once they were settled in, Serena's head popped up Ash's window.
"Gah!" Ash jumped back. "Who are you?"
"Oh! I'm Serena." The blonde started. "And I just came to say that you better take care of my friend! I'm shipping you two already. 'Alda', I call it."
Ash and Hilda remained silent.
"Well you two have fun! I've gotta find my bae Calem. Bye!"
Serena skipped away.
"So," Ash started. "That just happened."
"Sorry 'bout that." Hilda said. "She's my friend. She saw us in the morning, and now she kind of ships us."
"Kind of?" Ash blurted. "That was mega fangirl-ing right there."
Hilda giggled.
Ash smiled.
He liked her laugh. It was cute.
Ash pulled out of the parking lot.
Hilda looked around the car. "Wow, even the inside is nice."
"So what up with you and cars?" Ash asked.
Hilda crossed her arms. "What? A girl can't like cars?"
"Well yeah, but this is an old car." Ash explained. "You just don't normally see girls that like 60's Camaros."
Hilda sighed. "When I was a little girl, my dad used to take me to car conventions and races."
A tear slid down her cheek.
"What's wrong?" Ash asked.
Her lip quivered. "I just miss him."
She broke down into tears in Ash's shoulder.
Ash hugged her warmly.
Hilda hugged him back even tighter.
They stayed like for a few minutes until Hilda's sobbing died down.
She wiped her eyes and pulled away.
Ash also pulled back, a bit disappointed.
"I'm sorry." Hilda said.
"For what?" Ash asked.
"Having to see me like that."
Ash chuckled. "You honestly don't have to apologize."
Hilda nodded.
"So, what happened to your dad?"
"I caught him sleeping with someone who definitely wasn't my mom, and they were divorced the next year."
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine."
They drove until Ash finally broke the silence.
"Look Hilda, you seem cool, and I get what your going through. Do you want to be friends?"
Hilda smiled. "I'd love to."
"Well, we're here." He announced.
They got out the car and entered the house.
"So, you got a piano?" Hilda asked, placing her things on a nearby chair.
"Yeah, there's one in the room upstairs, first one on your left." Ash replied.
Hilda started going up the stairs. "You coming?"
"Yeah, I'll be right there, just need to do something."
Hilda nodded and went up.
Ash went to the living room.
There, he saw the picture of his beautiful mother. He kneeled before it.
"Hey mom," Ash said. "We're in Seattle now. The house's really nice."
He tried not to cry.
"I think it's a great start to a new life." His voice cracked. "I promise I'll be a better person."
Suddenly, he heard a shriek coming from upstairs.
He wiped his eyes and rushed upstairs.
"What is it?" He asked, once he went upstairs.
"This room is awesome!" Hilda said.
Ash sighed with relief. "God, you scared the crap out of me. I thought someone was kidnapping you."
"Sorry." Hilda apologized.
Ash looked around the room. He hadn't seen this room. All his dad told him was that there were instruments in here.
Not a fucking recording studio.
There was recording a booth in the corner (with some instruments inside), a piano on the left side of the room, a couch with a flat-screen tv in the middle, a fridge in the right side of the room, and music notes decorated the walls.
Wow.
"Let's just work on the song." Ash said, sitting down at the piano bench. With Hilda soon following after. "A slow ballad right?"
"Yeah." Hilda replied. "I actually kinda already have something."
"Can I see it?" He asked.
Hilda handed him a journal. Ash read the following song,

"This is beautiful." Ash said. "You wrote this?"
Hilda nodded.
"We're definitely gonna use this."
"Thanks."
"Ok, so now we have the lyrics down," Hilda said. "But let's work on the music."
"Ok, how about this?" Ash asked and played and a series of notes on the piano.
Hilda smiled. "Perfect."
"Where were you?" Hilda's mother asked. "It's been five hours since school let out."
Hilda noticed that her mom wasn't slurring and was dressed nice as if for something formal.
"I was doing homework with a friend." Hilda replied.
"For that long?" Her mom marveled.
Hilda remembered that after they had finished a chorus for the song, they watched a movie, listened to music, and played a game that ended up with Ash's underwear glued to the wall and Hilda was owing him ten bucks for it.
"Apparently."
"Well anyway, I'm off to visit a relative in Chicago for a few days." Stella kissed Hilda's forehead. "Take care sweetie."
Her mother got her bags and left.
Her mother had just called Hilda sweetie, then left.
Typical.
Hilda went up to her room and set down her things. She took out her phone and called Serena.
"Hello?" The blonde picked up.
"Hey Serena." Hilda said. "Do you wanna sleep over? My mom's out of town for the weekend."
"Sure! I'll be right over."
"Ok. Bye."
Hilda hung up.
Twenty minutes later, the bell rung.
"What took you so- Woah." Hilda said when she saw what Serena was carrying.
"I got everything we could possibly need for the weekend." The blonde said with her head buried under her pile of things.
"That sounds about right." Hilda said and let Serena in for an interesting weekend.
Thank you so much for your reviews. I took some of your guys advice under consideration.
Some of you guys said that this story is kinda rushed. But I just wanted to let people know that there is a spark between Hilda and Ash.
Please review! I don't care if it's just a word like, "Awesome." Just review.
Peace out lovelies,
~Eevee
