If You Can't Hang (Book Two of the Follow Your Heart Series)

Chapter 6

The valet at the Radisson Blu Hotel arranged for a taxi for TC, and he went back to his hotel in denial. Ashlee went back to the room that she shared with Chels. The girls were doing manicures and pedicures, but they all stopped when they saw the tears streaming from Ashlee's face.

Chels closed up the black polish and said, "OMG Ash, what happened?"

Ashlee's tears turned into sobs. She tried to explain what happened, but the phrases came out broken. "He said....kiss....Michelle...managers...flirt, and...break for now."

"Wait, what?" Bree said, while fanning her Fire Engine red nails, "You're taking a break?"

Rebecca wobbled over to Ash so she wouldn't ruin her toenail polish and just hugged her. "I'm so sorry Ash." Bree and Chels joined in the hug. They stood there like that for several minutes until Ashlee's sobbing quieted.

Chels pulled away and plopped onto the bed. "This sucks! We should have NEVER come out here."

All of the girls squeezed onto the bed, and Bree said, "Don't say that."

"Well...it's true. We should NOT have come. It's been a disaster. We flew all of this way to find out that the guys have moved on."

Bree insisted, "No they haven't. We just need to spend a little time together."

Bexx rolled her eyes at Bree, "You're only saying that because you're with the one you want to be with."

Bree winced at Bexx's statement, but not long enough for the girls to notice. She was not with the person she wanted to be with. Instead, she was pretending to date Bobby, which wasn't so bad after all. She and Bobby were actually becoming friends. Sometimes, when he called, it wasn't just for show...sometimes he called just give tell her about his day, and about how the guys were doing. Yet, for some reason, he'd never mention David or talk about how David was doing. She only found out that David and Jen broke up, because she refused to tell Bobby that Chels rejected Drew until Bobby would give her a David update. She snapped out of her momentary thought when she realized that the girls were wallowing and regretting their trip.

"Guys...we're in FREAKING GERMANY, and you're telling me that you guys just want to turn around and go home? We've done nothing, but watch VFC interviews and shows since we've been here. I say we stop worrying about the guys...and, let's start having fun." The girls groaned and grumbled at Bree's excitement. Bree continued, "Tomorrow, when I get back from breakfast with Bobby, we're going to go shopping. That way, if you guys STILL want to go home after their show tonight, we'll be going home in style."

The girls could not object to shopping in Germany. Ash figured it would get her mind off of her break up with TC, and she definitely needed a distraction. Bree and Bexx left to go to their hotel room. All of the girls were worn out from the crazy day.
