Chapter 18

~~Ashley's P.O.V~~

Holy mother of God, I can't believe I almost kissed Ross Lynch! I mean, it's not like I didn't want to, cause honestly I really did. Maybe the timing was just wrong. Yeah that's it, the timing was off. Why is love so confusing! I flopped face down on the living room couch and closed my eyes. I needed about an hour to just think, recollect my thoughts, and be alone. The peace and quiet didn't last for long due to the ringing of my stupid cell phone. I groaned and reached into my pocket. Without checking the caller ID, I pressed the phone to my ear.

"What?" I groggily stated. All I heard were screams, shouts, and whoops. Then a loud girly scream blasted through the phone causing me to remove it from my ear and take a few seconds to stop the ringing in my head. I glanced at the caller ID which said Rydel. Of course, leave it to my cheery spirited best friend to demolish my hearing. "Del! Calm down! What's going on over there!" I yelled into the cell.

"OMG ASH, YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT!!!!"

"What!"

"R5 is going on tour!!!" she exclaimed into the phone.

"Wait, like another east coast tour!" I asked getting bit excited.

"No, in Europe!!!" And that's when my spirit fell.

"For how long?"

"Two months!" Rydel exclaimed.

"Oh....... well that's great!" But it wasn't great, my friends were leaving me. The Lynches were like a second family to me, after all we've been through, I really can't bare to see them go. I really don't mean to sound selfish but, what about me?

"I know right! I'm totally speechless! This has been like our dream for so many years and the fact that it is actually coming true is..... it's amazing!" Well wait to make me feel even worse Del! This was their dream and I couldn't ruin that because of selfish reasons. "I gotta start packing Ash, can you come over tomorrow? I need a little help deciding on what to bring. Oh gosh, I can't wait!"

"Why pack so soon?" I questioned.

"Well, we leave Sunday." Del replied. Sunday?! That's only two days from now!

"Oh..... then I should probably let you get packed."

"Come over tomorrow, kay."

"Yeah, bye." I removed the device from my ear and threw it on the couch. My friends were leaving and I couldn't except that, but maybe I just had to.

~~Ross' P.O.V~~

R5 touring in Europe, huh. Wow that's...... that's amazing, I guess. It's just...... why Europe? Why couldn't we just tour somewhere closer to home, like....... the neighborhood. Well...something like that. Truth is, I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay here, in Los Angeles, with Ashley. The bedroom door clicked opened and in came Riker. "Hey, dude, did you hear? R5 is--"

"Yeah, I heard. You guys are very loud speakers." I bluntly stated.

"Well you don't sound too psyched about it."

"I am, it's just.....never mind."

"Well something is obviously bugging you," said Riker, "wanna talk about it?"

"Na, not really."

"Good, cause.... I didn't really wanna listen."

"Gee, thanks." I replied sarcastically.
