"josie. hi, it's ashton" the voice coming from the phone stated.

ashton. ashton freaking irwin. I honestly dont know how long I stood there, completely baffled. he cleared his throat eventually and I blushed.

"sorry, um, hi ash" I mumbled. regretting calling him ash almost immediately.

"that's alright sweetheart--" he said before I cut him off.

"wait, how did you get my number? and why did you want it? I thought you didnt even like me" I sighed.

he was silent for a moment; "well, I saw your message from calum this morning and stole your number while he was in the shower. why did you think I didnt like you?"

I blushed at the little thong I'd thought about repeatedly. that little scowl. "I, well, when I went to hug you when we met, you looked upset and a little angry. I just thought you didn't want to hug me but felt like you had to"

"no no, don't be silly. but hey i like your Twitter username" he says laughing quietly while teasing.

"oh shush irwin, it's not my fault you're the cutest one" I say before I actually think about what words I'm letting escape.

"the cutest huh?" he pushes.

"not to be a fangirl or anything but I literally screamed when you and calum followed me" I admitted, blushing.

"even after we met and you had been texting calum?" he sounded a little hurt but I ignored it.

"its different" I say, about to explain when I hear another voice on the phone, telling ashton to get back to work. I realise he must be really busy and decide to say a quick bye before I out the phone down.

the ashton irwin: why did you hang up :(
josie: you were busy, and I dont like being a burden
the ashton irwin: you're never a burden jo
josie: no one calls me that anymore
josie: it's weird
the ashton irwin: well it has to be better than calum calling you 'babe'
josie: no, I dont mind that
josie: wait, are you jealous??
the ashton irwin: ...

I don't reply to that because I know he shouldn't be texting me, and the only way he will stop is if I do.

I sit in my room, listening to gotta get out to help calm myself down. it works, and eventually im breathing normally and decide to scroll through Twitter for a couple hours, which is how I spent most of my days honestly.

-♡-

after a couple of hours, my phone vibrated in my hand. the name making me smile and freak out a little. and the actual message making me freak out even more.

cal pal: we should meet
josie: we did, the other day, remember
cal pal: no, I mean, just us
josie: but why?
cal pal: it will be fun
cal pal: when are you free?
josie: I'm free all day every day
cal pal: meet me tomorrow?
josie: are you not supposed to be in the studio?
cal pal: not tomorrow babe
cal pal: 2pm at my hotel *insert hotel name*
josie: okay, I'll be there <3

I'm really glad he texts me because I screamed throughout the whole conversation. he wants to meet me.

to say I'm scared is an understatement. this still feels like some twisted prank. but I guess this is make or break now.

josie wosie: I need you NOW
bella smella: need is a strong word
josie wosie: calum wants me to go to his hotel tomorrow. I NEED you to help me pick an outfit
bella smella: chill, I'll be there in 15 minutes

my leg bounced the whole 15 minutes, when I heard my door open and close, my heart seemed to start again.

"so, what are you thinking? hot as frick or adorable as usual?" is the first thing of out her mouth.

I imagined me trying to look hot and just laughed at the idea; "I cant pull off hot. just help me!" I stressed.

she stood looking at my wardrobe. picking up clothes and putting them back.

"this and.... this. with that jacket and those shoes" shes says putting everything on my bed. it's a green crop top, with a cute neckline and little flowers all over it and light blue high waisted jeans. 'comfy and cute' she states.

I thank her and practically beg her to sleep over bc I guarantee tonight will be sleepless.

(a/n) pls I was listening to gotta get out while writing this. I spent about 10 minutes crying in the middle of the chapter. help
