~evening next day~




So today I'm going over to Drew's, as usual. Brianna's coming too.

I kept replaying the conversation me and Ash had in the car yesterday. Did she really mean what she said? Well, yeah I was being an ass. But in my defense, she was being rude to Bri. But I shouldn't have called her a bitch. I didn't mean it.

Hopefully, things can go back to the way they were before. Or maybe even more. I still have feelings for Ashley. Brianna is just a distraction. Yeah I know. Thats such a douche move, but I'm pretty sure she's cheating on me. I should've broken up with her by now, but I wasn't sure if Ash liked me so I tried to make her jealous. Obviously that backfired.

I pushed away those thoughts and walked into the house with Bri. I saw Drew sitting on the couch with Keaton. Keats rode his board over here like 5 minutes ago.

"Hey Drew," I said.

"Hey bro!" he replied. We did our bro handshake thing.

"Where's AC?" Keaton whined.

"Upstairs," Drew replied. Keaton got up and bolted up the stairs. I seriously wish that could be me. I'd do anything to be close to her again.

"So uh, Ash is going on her date today right?" I asked Drew.

"Yeah. He seems like a good kid. But if he hurts her I'm gonna twist that little shit into a pretzel," he replied.

I laughed. I'll most likely do the same to him. I heard steps coming down the stairs and I looked up. My mouth literally dropped to the floor.

Keaton and Ash walked down with their arms linked together. Ashley looking beautiful. And I mean BEAUTIFUL. Well she always does, but like she's just...wow! She was wearing a pink flowy dress that stopped right above her knees. And her blonde hair was curled perfectly. I don't even know what to say right now. I was brought back to reality, when Bri hit my arm.

"Ugh, Wes! You're totally checking her out! You're MY boyfriend," Brianna said in her annoying voice.

"Yeah. I'm one of your boyfriends. One of many," I mumbled.

"Excuse me? Whatever. I'm done. I'll be at Christian's house. Bye." And with that she left. Haha ok then?

"Uh dude. What just happened?" Drew asked.

"I think Brianna just broke up with me," I said laughing a little bit.

"You're laughing?" Drew asked confused.

"Well yeah. She wasn't really my type and...it's complicated."

"Oh ok. Sorry man," Drew said while patting my back. I just shrugged. Now that I'm not in a relationship, I can try to regain Ashley and get her to be mine.

Wait.

I forgot she's going on a date tonight. And they're probably gonna end up dating. But maybe I can at least try to be her friend again. That would be fine. As long as she's happy.

Keaton and Ash came walking over to where me and Drew were.

"Aww! My little sister is all grown up! You're gorgeous Ash!" Drew said and hugged her. I could see tears faintly begin to brim her eyes. They really love each other. It's great how they look out for each other. Just like me and Keaton.

"Drew I love you. Thank you. But this isn't my first date," she said giggling slightly.

"I know but it's just...I love you. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I love you too Drew. And I know but Austin is a total sweetheart," she replied. I'm really happy for her. But part of me wishes she was saying all of that stuff about me. I wish I was the one that was taking her out on the date. But I guess I blew my chance.

Drew nodded and as if right on time, the doorbell rang. Ashley went over to the door and opened it. Austin stood there with a bouquet of roses and was wearing a pink polo shirt and khakis. They matched. Ugh.

"Hey Ashley. You look amazing!" he handed her the flowers and kissed her cheek.

"Thanks Austin. You do too. And thank you for the flowers. Shall we go now?" she said with a fake British accent.

"We shall!" he replied in the same voice. I remember over hearing them doing that the first time they talked. Ok, I will admit that was really cute.

She giggled and held his hand. "Bye guys! See you later!"

She smiled at Drew and Keaton. Once she looked at me, her smile dropped a little bit. Ouch. I smiled and gave her a thumbs up. Her mood instantly got better.

That made me feel amazing.

She left with Austin, and we all sat on the couch. I hope she has fun with him tonight, but I couldn't help but wishing she was mine.



*Ashley's POV*

Austin ended up taking me to this really fancy restaurant. I know it's a date, but I feel bad. It's so expensive. He shouldn't spend this much money on me. We're not even dating.

"Are you okay?" he asked. He must've saw my facial expression.

"Well yeah. I feel bad. You're spending way to much money on me."

"Don't worry about it. Just order whatever you want," he smiled. I looked at the menu and hesitated a little bit.

He must've noticed because he put his hand over mine. "Seriously. Don't worry."

I gave him a small smile and ended up just getting spaghetti. I giggled because it reminded me of a song the boys wrote. It's actually called Spaghetti xD

(A/N: I know that song was after the X Factor, but lets just pretend it was before haha.)

"What so funny?" Austin asked.

"My brother and his friends have this band called Emblem3 and they wrote a song called Spaghetti. And that's what I ordered," I said laughing even more. I probably looked crazy, but oh well.

Austin started laughing too. "That's awesome that they're in a band. Are they good?"

"Amazing. They're auditioning for the X Factor," I replied. I'm really proud of them. I thought about Wes. I feel really bad about yesterday. It got way out of hand. And plus he approved of Austin. Not that it would matter if he didn't. But since he did, it made everything so much better.

"That's awesome! I hope they win," Austin said. I smiled and nodded.

About an hour later we decided to leave. We were at my house. He held open the car door for me and I got out.

"I had a lot of fun tonight. Thank you," I smiled.

"It was an amazing night. With an amazing girl. But do you know what would make it even better?" he asked. I shook my head.

"This." He started leaning in and so did I. Soon enough our lips were moving in sync. Except there was a problem.

I didn't feel any sparks. As cliche as it sounds, I really didn't feel a connection. He's a great guy and all, but I don't think our relationship would go any further. Maybe he's meant to be just one of my friends.

We pulled away from the kiss and looked at each other. I had to tell him now before he got the wrong idea.

"Um Austin, I'm really sorry but I didn't really feel a connection between us. I thought I'd feel something during the kiss." He looked hurt. I feel really really bad.

"Really? I felt something. But I can't force you into dating me. Friends?"

"No thanks," I replied. He looked shocked.

"W-what?"

"I couldn't be friends with you. Ever. We'd have to be BEST friends," I giggled.

He laughed, "Deal." I grabbed his hand and he walked me up to my door.

"Thanks again for tonight," I hugged him.

"Anytime!" he said while hugging me back. "Goodnight Ashley."

"Goodnight Austin." And with that he walked away and drove home. I walked into my house and saw the guys sitting in the kitchen. They were just talking.

"SHE'S BACK!" Keaton yelled. He ran up to me and hugged me. "How did it go AC?!"

I smiled and walked to all of them. "It went great!"

"Does my Ashbug have a boyfriend?" Drew said while poking me.

"Um, actually no. When we kissed I didn't feel a connection. But he agreed to being my best friend."

"But I thought I was your best friend!" Keaton said while fake pouting.

"Keaton, you're my bestest best friend," I said while slightly laughing. He laughed too and said he knew that.

"Sorry it didn't work out Ash," Wes said.

"It's fine. Him and I are on good terms," I smiled. Wes smiled too.

"Well, it's been a long night. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Night boys!" I kissed them all on the cheek and headed upstairs. I was in my room getting my pajamas.

I was about to walk to my bathroom when I saw Wes in my door way.

"Hi Wes."

"Hey. I just wanted to say I'm sorry about yesterday. I had no right to say what I did. I didn't mean any of it."

I smiled. "Me too. Brianna just made me mad and you were defending her...so yeah. I overreacted. Sorry," I apologized while looking at the ground.

He walked closer to me. "You have nothing to be sorry about."

Now we were only inches away from each other. Wes started leaning in and so did I. But I stopped myself.

"Wait Wes. I can't."

"Why not?" he asked with a hurt expression.

"I-I'm just not ready yet. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I understand." He started walking out, but then turned around. "But I want you to know something," he said.

I looked up.

"Ashley Brinley Chadwick, I will make you mine soon." He smiled and walked out.

I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. That boy gets me every time.

My mind also drifted off to Austin. I'm so happy I made a new friend. I knew that me and him would definitely become the best of friends.
