 After about a half hour the game and the boys began to set up their equipment to practice. Luke had a old drum set that his brother used to play but gave up on that Ashton could use. Before practice Ashton learned how to play the song with his mom's boyfriend in his garage, just so he wouldn't disappoint the guys that he just joined a band with. The boys had so much fun practicing with the occasional outbursts of random jokes and rocking out to All Time Low and Nickelback.

 Four hours passed and soon Ashton and the others had to go home. Which made them upset because they didn't want the night to end so soon. As Ashton was leaving Luke had some encouraging words to Ashton. " Hey Ashton I'm glad your'e in our band, your'e a really great drummer." All that Ashton could say was "thanks"  because those few words meant so much to him. As Ashton left his new best friend's house and faced the cold once again he couldn't help but smile to himself knowing that he had  the best day that he had ever had in a long time.

The wind whipping and leaving the boy's cheeks flushed hit his face hard as he walked to the bus station. Although it hurt a bit he didn't mind because nothing could ruin his day. As approaching the bus he got a phone call from Michael asking if he wanted to hang out tomorrow. Excited about the next day he said yes and took the bus ride home. Ashton finally felt like he belonged somewhere and happy that he had the boys as friends. Later that night Ashton while in bed prayed that this "band" would last forever. Because that's all he wanted to do play awesome music with his friends, and hopefully not only at their houses.
