Ashton's not in a great place and given a recent life decision, her brother Adrian, doesn't trust her to be alone for more than 2 minutes. What will happen when Adrian enlists one of his friends to watch after his sister while he's away on tour?

I closed my phone screen and put it back in my pocket before rolling out of my bunk to get ready for the day. Andy and I were fine. We weren't together anymore but, we were fine. So, people I barely know trying to make it seem like we're not was really shitty or, maybe it wasn't but, it felt like it was.
"Hey Ashton-," Andy came into the back room on the bus and froze when he saw my tear stained face, "what's wrong?"
"Oh," I chuckled through a sniffle, "it's nothing. Just stupid people who I don't know."
Andy just examined my face for a minute before setting down the leather jacket he was carrying and taking me into a hug. It bugged me that his touch still calmed me down so easily. I guess I shouldn't have expected for it to just change but, I didn't think being around him would be as hard as it was.
"They're no one," He sighed, "just idiots that think they know everything."
"I know. It's just hard."
"That's what she said," Andy said making me laugh, "there we go! I knew that would get you."
That made me laugh a little more, before giving one last sniffle.
"Thank you for that."
"It's really no problem Jo-," Andy said before scrunching you his face a tad, "shit! I'm sorry I'm really trying to stop doing that."
"It's ok," I chuckled, "I've gotten used to it so, I don't mind."
We just stared at each other for a minute, each one of us getting lost in the other's eyes. Then, Emerson cleared his throat.
"Sorry uh- am I interrupting something?"
"No," Andy cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck, "you're all good. What's up?"
"Nothing special," Emerson shrugged, "just uh- you're meet and greet starts in like 10 minutes."
Andy scrunched his face in confusion before looking at the watch on his wrist, "oh shit."
He looked back to me with a smile.
"You ready?" He asked picking his jacket back up and throwing it over his bare shoulders.
"I'm- yeah," I nodded, "I'm ready let's go."
——————————————————————————
"That looks great you guys!" I cheered examining the photo I just took of Andy and one of his fans.
"Thank you so much Ashton!" The young girl said. If I'm being honest she seemed like she was my age, "and thank you too. I'm so happy I got to see you!"
The girl hugged Andy for a couple seconds before coming up to me, "Can I give you a hug as well?"
If I'm being honest, it felt nice to have one of his fans show me kindness. They kind of all hated me right now.
I eagerly accepted, and she gave me a squeeze before whispering in my ear, "I hope you rot in hell for the shit you put him through you skank."
Well so much for that.
She pulled back and sent me a big smile, but that didn't stop me from noticing the plastic laced through it.
"It was nice meeting you," she said before smiling and walking away, "hope I get to see you again."
"She was sweet huh?" Andy asked with a small smile on his face.
I nodded with pursed lips, "oh. Absolutely."
"You think it'd be weird if I got her number?"
"Uh."
Yes.
"No, if you like her it wouldn't be weird," I smiled not even convincing myself, "gotta- gotta shoot your shot- right?"
I couldn't quite place the look on his face.
"Eh maybe," He scoffed with a smirk on his face, "I was completely joking though."
"Oh ok," I said shutting down my camera and starting to take down the backdrop, "you pussy."
Andy's jaw dropped at my mumbling, "I- what."
"Yeah," I shrugged, "you don't have the guts."
"Oh I could do it if I wanted." He smirked again.
"Oh really," he nodded, stepping closer to me, "well then, what's stopping you?"
Andy froze for a second, the look on his face falling, "I don't know."
He chuckled a little more but, it was more awkward this time.
