Chapter Nineteen

Ashley's POV*

"I'm your biggest fan, other than Brycie, Fallon and Kels of course." I laugh, "And I always will be."

"Thanks sis. That means a lot, ya know?" Chad smiles as he ruffles my hair.

"My hair." I whine as I try to fix it.

"You're just like Joe and Caleb with their hair." Alan laughs.

"So?" I ask.

"It's just funny cause you married Joe." Chad laughs.

"Do you know how it takes to do my hair?" I whine.

"I dunno. How long?" Chad asks.

"Don't know!" Caleb corrects.

"It takes her like 30 minutes, bro." Joe laughs.

"Really?" Chad laughs.

"Have you ever done a braid? It takes forever to get it just perfect!" I sigh.

"Girls." Morgan mutters.

"You should not have said that." Spencer laughs.

"I'm letting it slide this time." I say, glaring at Morgan.

"Like I'm scared." Morgan teases, throwing his hands in the air.

"Bro, you shouldn't have said that. Have you met Ashley?" Joe asks.

I fake a manical laughter, while rubbing my hands together like a witch. Let's just say that they all looked at me like I was crazy. Which I slightly was.

"You're super crazy." Chad laughs.

"I know. But you all love me." I smile sweetly.

"Says who?" Chad teases.

"I do." Joey smiles as he wraps his arm around my waist.

"As a sister." Caleb answers.

"Same." Alan agrees. Morgan and Spencer nod along.

"Man. You guys were supposed to be on my side. Not her's." Chad whines.

"Sorry Chaddy. I win." I laugh, sticking my tongue out at him.

"And I'm the child?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." Joey smirks.

"Oh ha ha." Chad mocks.

"It is very funny." I smile.

"Ashley Faith." Chad warns.

"Whatcha gonna do?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah! What are you going to do?" Caleb cringes.

"Sorry bro." I laugh.

"Guys; soundcheck." Alan says, breaking up any battle that's about to begin.

"You coming baby?" Joey asks.

"Yeah. You boys coming?" I ask Morgan and Spencer.

"Yeah, we'll come." Morgan answers.

"Alright, let's go." Alan urges.

"We're coming." I laugh. Joey took my hand, and we walked to the auditorium.

The guys got everything set up and went through the set list. As they ended, Morgan, Spencer and I applauded. Alan, Chad and Caleb shook their heads, Joey just smiled at me. I smiled back.

They hopped off stage and ran towards us. I laughed as Joey hugged me.

"Sounds great guys." I smiled.
