"What is that suppose to mean?"
Ronnie's P.O.V
A bit later in the night after the audition, I was getting ready to head to Michael's house.
I wasn't sure what it was going to be like but I knew it wasn't going to be anything fancy so I just put on a Good Charlotte t-shirt, to represent who I covered today, & a pair of shorts. I thought that sufficed & if we did end up sleeping at Michael's, I'd be comfortable enough in that.
But I was going to Michael's house...with Ashton? It was so weird.
Later on, I saw Ashton in his room & he yelled out his window at me.
"Are you ready?"
"Yep. I'll meet you in like two minutes." I yelled back at him.
"Cool." He smiled.
Ashton smiled at me.
He was doing that a lot lately.
I told my parents Seth got off work early, that he was picking me up & that I'd possibly just be crashing there tonight & they didn't seem to mind.
Then I walked next door to Ashton's driveway. He was standing out by his car waiting for me.
"Hi again." He said as I walked over towards him.
"Hey."
I wasn't sure how to act or what to say.
Once Ashton opened his car door, I opened the passenger side & I slid into the seat next to him.
"It's weird to see you in my car." Ashton said once he backed out of his driveway.
"Yea. It's weird to be in it." I said looking around. I noticed he had cds all over. I had them all over my car too as well.
"It's weird that we're talking & not fighting." He then said.
"You read my mind. I was thinking the same thing."
"Maybe I just ran out of insults or something."
"Right. Give me a week to come up with new ammo & then we'll be back at it." I joked back. But I didn't want to be back at it. I liked this Ashton so much better. I really did.
It wasn't that long of a drive to Michael's. We spent the drive just talking about our auditions after breaking the awkwardness of being in a car together.
Once inside Michael's, we discussed our auditions again.
"Ronnie. You were like beyond sick!" Luke was literally on his knees bowing down to me. "You were insane!"
"Stop. You guys were great too."
"I think we both have a shot at making it." Calum said. "I really do think we all made top ten."
"I sure hope so."
"But if we do then we need to step up our game if we want to beat you." Michael gave me a death glare. "I hate to say it but a female in a rock band is definitely going to be a crowd favorite."
"What do you mean?"
"A hot girl who can jam on guitar while singing the way you do...every guy in there will just be like it's heaven." Ashton said. But did Ashton just call me hot? Even if indirectly, he did, right?
"Oh." I bit my lip. This was awkward. "Uhm, thanks?"
"Let's get this party started! It's not every night my parents are gone!" Michael yelled. Ashton reached into his bag & he pulled out a bottle of whiskey while Michael ran into the kitchen & he came back with a case of beer.
