Can't Stop Runnin'

Chapter 3

Ashton's POV

After a 2 hour jam session, Michael finally orders the pizza.

"Pepperoni please!" Madison yells, walking out of the bathroom.

"Of course." Michael smiles at her.

"So, how long have you guys been together?" I ask them.

"6 months." They respond in Perfect unison, followed by a giggle.

Luke walks up from the basement smiling. He had just gotten off the phone with someone.

"Who is she?" Calum teases.

"My new girlfriend." Luke replies smiling more.

"I thought you were dating that Kathryn girl or whatever her name was." Michael says rolling his eyes.

"Kaitlin, and we broke up about a week ago." Luke tells him.

"She's coming over tomorrow." luke adds walking back to his room, trying to hide his big ass grin.

The pizza finally arrives, by the time Luke come out of his room we had eaten it all. He bickers with Michael about that (Michael always are the most pizza) for thirty minutes. After that Kaia and Calum go home, and everyone else goes to sleep. I was woken up at 3 AM to the sound of Madison sneaking out. She was only wearing a bra and booty shorts.

Morning arrives sooner than I expect it to. It is Friday. We practice for 5 hours to try and perfect every song. I am quick to learn. Michael teases Luke the whole time about his new girlfriend.

Around 2:30 there is a knock on the door. "That's her!" Luke squeals. I have never heard him so excited before.

"Kylie, this is Ashton and this is Michael." Like introduces us to a long haired brunette. She is about 5"10.

"Hi, I'm Kylie." she says shaking our hands.

All these girls are perfection. I am the only one of the boys without a girl. Tomorrow I'll go out with them to try and find some girls.

Kylie is really nice. I catch Luke staring at her 99% of the time she is here. The other 1% of the time he is looking at his pizza.

"Bro, now you need a girl." Michael tells me at dinner.

"Tomorrow we should go out to look for some." Luke puts in.

"Sure." I say calmly, trying not to get too excited.

Night sneaks up on us too quickly. Before I know it I am yawning every 5 seconds (of summer {sorry I just had to put that in}). Everyone goes to sleep shortly after dessert which is ice cream.

When morning comes Kylie leaves and we start to head out. Our first stop is the mall. Immediately I spot the perfect girl for me. She has short blonde hair, and a brilliant white smile. I hear her order a latte. She has the voice of an angel. The one freckle that is on her face is perfectly placed right below her frown. Wait, why is she frowning? I notice that she keeps looking at the clock. Finally her frown turns into a beautiful smile again. The moment is ruined when a tall, blonde, muscular male walks up to her and gives her a hug and a kiss. Ew. I look away. Luke then points out a red haired girl. She has perfectly natural curled hair. Her cheek bones are perfectly defined. Then I notice that she her arm wrapped around a short, stubby, bald male. Her dad will get in the way. Ok. Third times the charm.

"Ashton! Come over here." I here Calum scream.

"What?" I ask. He then points to a girl. She is pretty, but not as perfect as the other girls. Freckles cover the bridge of her nose. Her hair is brown ombrèd into red. Her eyes are green. She doesn't have a perfect smile, but maybe that's what makes her stand out. Or maybe it's the red hair. Nah, I think it's that she's not as perfect as everyone around her. I gather up all the courage I have to go and talk to her. She is standing alone, on her phone.

"Hey." I startle her.

"Can I help you with something?" She asks me confused. She's American.

"I was wondering if maybe you would want to go out on a date sometime?" I get straight to the point.

"With you, or another stranger that I don't know?" She says, clearly playing hard to get.

"You don't even know my name." she adds.

"Well, what's your name then?" I ask trying to hide my smirk.

"Elise. What about you?" She asks me right back.

"Ashton." I tell her. "Hey, I'm playing at a concert tonight at 10. Here's the address. You should come." I hand her a slip of paper with the address and my number on it.

"Maybe." She smiles.

"If you do come, meet me back stage after the show." I tell her.

"Sure." she says sarcastically, then I walk away.

When I look back I see her with another boy and a girl. I don't see her saying anything about me though. Is that good or bad?
