Blake's POV

It's a beautiful Sunday morning this summer. The sun is shining and the weather is perfect. Caroline and I decided to meet up with our friend Alex to go to our favorite ice cream shop. It's right next to the river and the view is perfect.

I got out of bed and slipped on a pair of ripped up high waisted shorts and I put on my favorite My Chemical Romance t-shirt. After applying light makeup and sticking my hair into a french braid, I slipped on my black high top converse and was ready to go.

"Blake lets go! Alex is already waiting for us.", Caroline yelled up to me.

"Okay I'm ready. Let's go." I responded with a smile. I just love the summer. It's my favorite time of the year.

Caroline and I walked to the ice cream shop. It was only about a 5 minute walk from our apartment. I loved it.

-----------------

We were walking up to the doors and saw Alex waiting outside at a table. When he realized we were here he stood up and hugged us both.

"Hey guys! I'm so glad the summer is finally here", he said while chuckling, "we are gonna have the best summer our lives."

Alex is the best. He is always in the best mood and I have to admit he's pretty cute. Caroline always teases that he's "in love" with me. I don't believe it though.

------------------

"They seriously have the best ice cream", Alex says as we walk along the riverside with our cones.

"Agreed!", Caroline says, "it doesnt get much better than this."

I just nodded my head. I felt like my head was full of thoughts but I had no idea what I was even thinking about.

"You okay Blake?" Alex asked pulling me out of my trance.

"What? Yeah fine." I quickly replied.

Just as I said that I bumped hard into someone causing me to stumble and my ice cream cone to fall to the ground.

"I am sooo sorry!" the voice apologized, "I wasn't looking where I was going. Let me buy you another ice cream."

I looked up to see a familiar face. It was the drummer guy from Luke's band. I couldn't remember his name though. I'd never met him. I only ever knew Luke, Michael, amd Calum.

"No no it's fine. You don't have to buy me another one." I told him.

"No really I want to." drummer boy smiled at me.

I looked over to Alex and Caroline. Caroline wiggled her bold eyebrows at me while Alex just stared in disbelief.

"Go on Blake. You can catch up with us later." Caroline said smirking.

I sent her a glare. I really didn't want to go with this guy. But maybe he could tell me about Luke and the other guys. I'd been missing them a lot lately.

"Sure," I said, "thank you."

He replied, "It's the least I can do. I'm Ashton by the way." He held out his hand for me to shake.

"I'm Blake," I smiled, "Blake Edwick."

"Great to meet you Blake Edwick." Ashton winked at me. I kind of liked this guy.

-----------------

Ashton and I walked around for a while with our new ice creams. I had so much fun with him. We talked about almost everything and I learned a lot about him. He talked about the band but I decided not to ask about Luke yet. Ashton had band practice so we exchanged numbers and parted ways.

When I arrived back at the apartment Caroline was waiting for me to tell her everything. I've told her about Luke before but not much.

I told her everything that happened and that I might even have a crush on Ashton. Of course she freaked out. I never really had a real boyfriend before so she was so happy that I met someone. Even though she would always say Alex and I are her "ultimate OTP". There is something wrong with my best friend...in the best way possible.

------------------

Later that night just as I was about to fall asleep I recieved a text. It was from Ashton :)

AshTheSexyMan: Goodnight beautiful! :)

I laughed at the contact name he put for himself.

Me: Goodnight "AshTheSexyMan" <3
