Cambridge

Not Too Sure

Rachel's P.O.V.

After just chatting with Ashton for a while about the randomest nonsense, I could tell he was feeling better. There was no way I was leaving without cheering him up first. I honestly couldn't believe that he felt that way about me. I guess Louis had been right after all. I mean Ashton was amazing. He really was such a lovely person and I found it so easy to hang out with him, but I had Louis. We had only recently gotten together and although things right now might not be as good as they could be, I liked Louis. I liked him a lot. But the question was, how exactly did I feel about Ashton?

I was so sure that we were just friends. But now I was questioning everything. Maybe me and Ashton were just better off being friends for now. Especially when I had Louis. I really wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardise what we had.

In all honesty, the whole situation was giving me a headache.

"Hey Ash, I'm gonna head back to my place now, okay? I'll see you tomorrow" I decided finally, rolling off of his bed.

He nodded.

"Okay.. I'm sorry about, you know, kissing you" he mumbled softly, blushing ever so slightly.

I shrugged, giving him a grin.

"Don't worry about it. Let's face it, I'm hot. I would've kissed me too" I winked at him, causing him to burst out laughing.

"Yeah, yeah.." He rolled his eyes.

I laughed along with him.

"But really Rach, please don't mention it to anyone. Tomlinson in particular. I really don't want him picking a fight again" he added, in a more serious tone.

I sighed.

"I'll sort it out with him, don't worry" I promised.

He nodded.

"So, you two?" he asked, raising an eyebrow inquisitively.

I bit my lip, nodding slowly.

"Yeah.. Us two" I replied softly.

He seemed unsurprised by my confession but a little hurt at the same time.

"Well bye Rach" he gave me a small wave as I took off.

When I walked out of his room I noticed Skylar had left. She'd probably just gone back to our room. The other three were sprawled across the couch.

"So what happened?!" Calum asked as soon as he saw me.

"Is he okay?" Michael added.

"Is he feeling better?" Luke pressed.

I rolled my eyes at their gush of questions.

"Well we- em- we just talked. He's feeling better now.. He's not injured too badly" I started off.

Calum nodded.

"So what exactly were the fighting about?" Luke asked. He had been too distracted by Skylar when they had first started.

I shrugged, feeling my cheeks flush.

"Rachel" Michael answered simply.

My blush deepened.

Luke raised an eyebrow.

"You and Louis?" he seemed surprised.

"You and Ash?!" Calum added.

I shook my head quickly.

"No - I - it was just a big misunderstanding, okay?" I said, unconvincingly.

Michael rolled his eyes.
