Where's Ashton

23|| Where's Ashton?

~Luke~

"Guys?" Stephanie asks, peeping her head into the room. "Will you guys be alright by yourselves here tomorrow?"

Calum shrugs. "Yeah, sure."

"Where're you going?" Mike asks from his starfish position on the floor.

"I have a football tournament tomorrow," Steph answers with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Oooo," Ash says excitedly and, by now, I already knew what he was going to say. "Can we come."

A look of panic quickly passed over Stephanie's features but it was gone as quick as it came.

"Only if you want," she said hesitantly.

"We'll come," I answer her for everyone, knowing that they wouldn't have anything on because we have no life.

A genuine smile appeared on her face. "Okay."

"Sounds good," Calum says, smiling back at her.

"What time are we gonna leave?" Michael asks suddenly.

Steph mumbled to herself, "We have to be there by 7:30 and it's about an hour journey, then we have to think about the traffic. So we'll have to leave at 6:00"

Michael chokes on air. "In the morning."

She sighs. "Yes, Michael. In the morning."

"It doesn't sound that good anymore," we hear Michael whisper under his breath.

"Thanks for the encouragement Michael," Steph says sarcastically.

"But why is it so early in the morning?" Michael argues.

"I don't know," Steph argues back. "Don't ask me."

"You guys coming or..." Steph's sentence trails off.

"We're coming," Ashton clarifies, glaring at Michael.

Nervousness was evident on her face as she smiles at us. "You guys better not make me late."

"Mike might," I laugh as Michael glares at me.

After Michael stops glaring at me, he looks back at Steph. "Eh... Luke's right."

Stephanie shakes her head at all of us, walking out the door. "Go to sleep early," she orders.

"Okay mother," Cal shouts after her.

I start following her out the door but the boys stop me.

"Where're you going?" Ash asks.

I shrug at him. "I'm just gonna ask Steph something."

"Don't worry Cal," I add. "I won't steal her from you."

Calum groans, throwing a pillow after me as I walk out the door.

I knock on the door of her room.

I only realise now that I have never seen Stephanie's room before.
