Drummer

Rachel's P.O.V.

I giggled loudly as Ashton pulled me into his room.

I had already text Louis saying that I wasn't able to meet him in the theatre since it had been so late when we had gotten back to the boys place. I told him I was sleeping over at a friends and thankfully he hadn't asked which friend, cause I really wasn't n the mood to argue with him.

"I have some clothes you can borrow if you want? I assume you didn't bring anything? Or maybe you did. That'd be weird cause it's not like we planned this.. " Ashton trailed off, as he began shuffling through his drawers, looking for clothes.

Laughing, I rolled my eyes.

"I didn't bring any" I told him, chuckling.

He nodded to himself, finally pulling something out.

"Okay, these are gonna be pretty big.." he mumbled, tossing me a ball of clothing.

I shrugged.

"I'm sure I'll manage" I told him.

He just nodded.

I headed off to the bathroom then to get ready. Once I had locked the door I got changed quickly into the clothes Ashton gave me. He was right - they were huge on me. He had given me a large blue t-shirt with some witty catch-phrase written on it which hung halfway down my thighs. He had also given me a pair of white football shorts which were hanging off me. Though they were big, they showed off quite a lot of my legs, with made me somewhat uncomfortable.

It was strange that I would feel that way, because I normally wasn't too bothered about it. But for some reason I felt a little worried of what Ashton would think. I ran a hand through my hair quickly, knowing I was being stupid. It was only Ashton.

Using the hair-tie I had on my wrist to tie my hair up into a messy ponytail, I washed my face with a clean towel the boys had. I knew I pretty much looked like shit at this point, but there was no sense in just staying in the bathroom. And so I walked out, heading to the living room.

I could hear chatting but once I walked into the room, there was silence.

Both Skylar and Ashton turned to face me from where they were sitting on the couch.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" I asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Ohh nothing!" Ashton called out quickly, looking a little flustered.

I frowned but felt my cheeks redden as he scanned over my body. I subconsciously pulled the shorts lower down on my leg.

"Okay look I know I look really bad-" I began, feeling unusually nervous.

He shook his head quickly, frowning.

"No, no. You look great. You always look great" he cut me off quickly.

I felt my blush deepen at that.

"Er, thanks" I mumbled awkwardly, as he looked down, cursing himself under his breath.

Skylar just giggled at us.

Before I had a chance to think much further into the situation, Luke came out of his room, plopping down on the couch beside Skylar. Michael walked out of his room too, heading towards the kitchen.

"Hey Ash?" he shouted from the kitchen.

"Yeah?" Ashton called back.

Michael appeared in the doorway then, smirking.

"Didn't you say you were going to teach Skylar to play the drums?" he asked, glancing innocently at me and then back at Ashton.

I raised an eyebrow.
