I hesitated before clicking accept and lifting the phone to my ear.
“Hello?” I murmured into the mouthpiece cautiously.
“Oh my god it’s you it’s really, really you!” I heard Ashley shrieking on the other end of the phone, “oh my goodness, wow!”
I didn’t know what to reply, “Hey Ash,” is what I came up with ingeniously.
“Oh my God January it’s been so long!” she said. She was right since then she had got married to Harry and had a baby with another man and got a very public divorce from Harry.
“I know,” I sighed, remembering how close Ashley and me had come to being really good friends.
“I can’t believe you never told me about…about Darren,” she said, I was wondering how soon she would bring him up.
“I didn’t tell anyone apart from the people that needed to know,” I fobbed her off weakly.
“Jan, we were still in the country when it happened why didn’t you call us or come over?”
“And how would that conversation have went?” I asked her, “Sorry Ashley but my crazy ex boyfriend just attacked me?”
“I know, but we were your friends, I know I still am your friend,” Ashley replied.
“Where are you?” I asked her suddenly.
“Um, I’m outside the X Factor studios,” she admitted sheepishly.
“Really?” I asked her stunned, she made a noise of a agreement, “right stay there I’ll be down in a minute.”
“Jan…” but I had already hung up, I went over to the green room and stuck my head round the door, “hey guys I need to do something, is there anything you need before I go?”
“Em…” Tanya said, “what do you think of Little Talks?” I nodded.
“Fun song, why not?” I chirped, “I’m down with anything really.”
“Oh we need you’re solo songs, we need two from you, and then you and Jamie doing a duet.”
“Oh, em Teenage Dream and Scars for the solo I guess,” I picked wildly, where had Scars come from? Oh well I loved that song, “I dunno Jamie what do you want?” I asked him as Tanya scribbled wildly.
“Just a Kiss?” he asked me, I nodded smiling.
“oh and the last song we’re going to do is, Don’t You Forget About Me,” Lucy told me, I nodded, well I wasn’t nervous about leaving them anyway.
I ran out of the room and out the front door passing Harry on the way and nearly ramming straight into him.
“Wow Jan what’s up?” he asked me, I was still angry at him so I couldn’t help but ignore him, I had ignored Niall’s calls too, he had lied to me just as much as Harry had.
I was straight out the front doors and there she stood. To be honest, she hadn’t changed too much.
Her hair was blonde and hung down her back, she wore wet look legging and an over sized army jacket paired with a black tank top and black high heels. A dark green beanie hung off her head.
“Ashley!” I called, and she turned around her eyes lighting up instantly, I ran to her and gave her a tight hug.
“Oh my God it’s so amazing to see you!” she gushed, taking my hand and examining me at length.
“You too!” I said, and then it hit me, I had dated her ex husband. Her. Ex. Husband.
“So…” she began.
