Chapter 12

Ashley's POV:

I show my phone Meredith and she gives me a sign to answer it. She might be the one with those ideas but she always takes responsibility for them. I know my dad is going to be mad. No, he's going to freak out.

"Hello?" I answer my phone shyly.

"Asli? Nerdesin?" My mom is on the phone asking where I am. She sounds angry but also sad.

"Anne, I am in London. I told you I am not going to engage me with Kerem. Not now..." I say and regret what I said. She's maybe in pain because she was afraid if I'm well and I'm so heartless.

"I thought so, I... I read your letter and your father too. He's very mad at you and doesn't want to speak with you anymore. Samir told us you marry Kerem when your back but don't you thought of us? Which parents accept their daughter to be so far away?" She's crying. Now I get glassy eyes and Meredith brings me while this to the Mall toilet.

"Anne, don't cry. I will call you every day and as soon this is over I'm back and it will not take long I promise. Just let me make my dream come true before I get married, please." Some tears call down my cheeks but I try not to whine on the phone. I don't want my mother to recognize how much this call hurts to me.

"Dad is not happy with your decision and he will not talk to you until your back." She whines.

"I know, Anne. I will call you again tomorrow and say everyone that I love them. Goodbye." I say and much more tears fall down my cheeks.

"We love you too. Please take care of yourself and don't forget to talk again. Greet Marie-Anne from me and..." She speaks without breathing.

"Ok, ok Anne. Don't worry everything is fine and I will greet Marie-Anne for you. Now I have to go. I love you goodbye." I hang up after she is whining goodbye to me and I hold my hand in front of my mouth.

"Hey honey, you did it finally ok? Think positive, it's over now you can live your dream." Meredith comforts and hugs me tightly.

After a moment she is my lifesaver by having a concealer in her purse to refresh my makeup. We finally head out from the bathroom and all this drama. I am still hurt that my father doesn't speak to me but I am here now and I don't have to bother myself with those thoughts and feelings. How Meredith promised me we going to have a great time here.

"Is everything ok?" Hudson asks curious and I think he looks worried. It's maybe a little egotistical to think like this but I feel good when he's worried. I feel like he's carrying how I am.

"I'm fine thank you." I smile at him. And he starts to smile in relief. While we stare at each other I forget Meredith beside me.

"Uhm, hello? Are you two hiding something or what is this adoring here?" She playfully asks and smiles at us. I roll my eyes but feel nervous when she asks.

"Meredith, stop." Hudson glances at her.

"Ok, ok I'm sorry." She fears but when he turns away she starts to giggle quietly. I think the thought of me with her brother doesn't bother her much. She almost doesn't mind. But I do. I mean, there is nothing but I do mind if there were anything.

We had to the H&M store because I need some bra's but I told Meredith to lie that she needs it. She starts to laugh at me when I ask her if she would pretend and I slap her playfully on her arm. When we search for bra's Hudson is clinging at us. Why doesn't he go to the men's wear or something but stays like a bodyguard behind us? When Meredith tells him to get her something to drink from the grocery store nearby H&M he finally is not present so I can look for my bra.

I find something nice but have to try it out. Meredith likes it and wants to try it out too. She comes to the cabin next to mine and as we are trying Hudson's voice appears again.

"Meredith you texted you were here but which cabin are you?" He almost yells.

"Here!" Meredith yells and I have to smirk. Hudson's steps are loud enough to hear them coming near. When I turn around to the mirror to picture myself someone opens my curtain. I immediately turn around and let out a frightened noise while there's Hudson with wide eyes. Obviously, he opened the wrong curtain.

"Oh my God, sorry!" He almost shouts.
