"Peed?" Luke passes by.

"Really Luke? No!" I yell. Sometimes he's such an idiot.

He sips on his drink and watches the mess. Ashton and I were looking dysfunctional.

Ashton offers, "I have an extra dress in my car, do you wanna change?"

"Why do you..." I was very confused.

"Long story. So yes or no?" He didn't want to explain.

I nodded and followed him out. We passed by Mikey.

"I'll be right back, I spilled soda all over my dress," I rushed every word out of my mouth.

Ashton opened up his trunk and pulled out a royal blue fit and flare dress. It was the perfect size-- 4.

"Here you go," he hands it to me, "I had bought it for someone, but forgot to give it to her. You can keep it. It's kinda weird if I keep it."

"Thanks, you're a life saver," I hugged him.

"You can change in the car, by the way. I'll wait out here."

I struggled to take off the dress. I knew I shouldn't have worn such a tight dress. I couldn't get it over my head.

"What's taking so long? It's getting cold out here," he rubs his arms to keep warm.

"I'm stuck!" I muffle with the dress over my face.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Nothing," I yell, "I'll get it... I'm almost..." I couldn't get it off at all. I couldn't even pull it back down.

Ashton opens the door.

"STOP! Wait!" I shout while slamming the door shut, "close your eyes, then help me."

"I don't know how this is going to work..." He shuts his eyes tight.

I tell him to pull off the dress as I pull away from it.

"How'd you put this on in the first place?!" He struggles to pull. He takes a quick peak.

"Hey! Keep your eyes shut! And it wasn't easy," I respond. I continue to pull and pull but it seemed useless. This was such an awkward situation. but I didn't focus on how weird everything was getting; I just wanted to take the stupid dress off!

The dress tears a little and finally comes off.

"Phew," I breathed, "finally! I was suffocating." I put on the blue dress easily, "okay all done!"

Ashton opens his eyes, "don't ever ask for my help again." He was all tired out.

We walked back in.

"There you are, we've been waiting for you two," said Calum.

Mikey, Calum, and Luke were all sitting at a table... Oh and I forgot to mention, so was Arielle. I sat next to Mikey and Ashton went across to sit by Arielle.

"Well, I have something big to tell you guys!" Calum gets excited, "the manager of this place really liked our performance and wants us to do shows here regularly, every Friday night!"

I was happy for them. This was a big deal, so I celebrate with them. I looked across to Ashton; him and Arielle were snogging. What a whore, that's how she congratulates people?

"Yes! It's all thanks to me, Luke," he says confidently. Sometimes I can't tell if he's kidding, or just actually somewhat dumb.

"Of course Luke," I play along.

"Hey Sherry," Arielle calls, "could you come with me to the restroom?"

Uh no, I thought. "Sure." I follow her.

"I know we don't know each other well, but I really need someone to talk to right now," he tells. "You're the only person who'd understand where I'm coming from."

What she had to say seemed urgent. I felt kind of bad.

"What it is," I ask.

"I think I'm pregnant," her eyes saddened.

I felt my heart drop from my chest and into my stomach. I was hoping she wasn't going to say it was Ashton's. I gulped; I didn't know what to do, or say, or how to react.

"I haven't told Ashton, and I don't know how I will. It's his child," she finishes.

That was it. I felt my body crumble into a thousand pieces. Ashton, 20 year old soon to be dad. I couldn't breathe. I teared, not because I felt bad, but because he was officially going to have his own family. I didn't want that for him just yet, especially with someone else.

What was I saying? I had Mikey in my life and he made me happy. I'm confused. Why?!

"I'm sorry... Congrats... I don't know what to say," I stutter. "When did you find out?"

"I wasn't feeling good Wednesday morning and I threw up a little, but I thought I was just a little sick. I just took the pregnancy test a half hour ago. I don't know what my parents will think, or Ashton," I knew she was nearly going to cry.

I wanted to, also.

I try and comfort her, "don't worry, everything will be just fine." I couldn't hate her anymore, I pitied her. "I'll help you, it's going to be okay."

I couldn't believe what was happening.
