Ashton's day had started out well, he had been able his father for days, which included meals. The argument had started because Ash's choices of university had been made knowledge to his father. When the old man had found out that he had applied to every university outside of UCLA he had hit the roof. His father had told him that he would go to university where his father told him to go and that was that.
Ashton was currently sleeping in the back of his car, he was in talks with some friends who had moved away to join them. He had friends who owed him favours and, he was waiting for said call. He expected to be told it was okay, his phone rang looking down at he didn't recognise the number so he answered.
"Hello?" Ashton said into the phone.
'Ash baby is that you?' he heard he nearly dropped the phone he hadn't heard that voice in many a year. 'Your friend gave me your number.' his mother said to him. 'Said you needed a place to stay.' she added.
"Why call me now?" Ashton asked.
'Baby I've wanted to contact you and Sage for a while now.' she said. 'I heard you had a blow out with your father.' she said to him.
"From who?" Ashton asked.
'Sage found me here in New Mexico a while back.' she said.
"Your lying she would have told me." Ashton said to her.
'Honey I'm not, your sister had her reasons, I want you to come join me.' she said.
"You want me to come to New Mexico." he said to her.
'It has to be better than the back of your car.' she said to him. 'Do you have pen and pad handy?' she asked he answered in the affirmative and started to write. 'When would you be leaving?' she asked.
"I can leave right now, I have the afternoon off." Ashton said which was technically a lie but she didn't know that. "Are you sure about this?" he asked.
'Yes I'm sure about this, your get to meet your little brother when you get here to.' she said to him.
"I have a brother?" he asked.
'He'll be ten this year.' she said.
"That's why you left?" he asked.
'Yes honey.' she told him it started to make some sense now, who would want to bring up a child in that enviroment. It hurt that she didn't take them with her when she left.
"Okay, do you want me to pick up Sage?" he asked.
"No need, I'm ready to go." Sage said softly from behind him. "Its time to go before dad realizes something is up." Sage said he tossed his keys into the air and caught them.
"We'll see you soon mom." Ashton said into the phone.
'We can't wait to see you both.' he heard he said bye shutting his phone of he looked at his sister with her bags and all.
"Lets do this." Ashton said to her she smiled as he took a couple of her bags.
Twenty minutes later the two of them were headed for the highway, Ashton was sad that it would be the last time he stepped inside the school. He still had friends here, but he needed a fresh start and this was the best way to do what they were doing. How his father felt was second to what they wanted, what they needed more to the point. This was a chance to make sure he didn't have to worry about his sister when he went of to college. That was all that mattered to him at the end of the day, knowing his baby sis would be okay.
