Ashton's POV:
It's 10:00pm and she hasn't called.
She never calls.
I always call her. I don't know where she ran off to this morning, I was so sleepy. All I can remember is her saying something about Drake.
You don't think she left with him, do you?
That little voice in my head asks. No. She couldn't have. She loves me, I know she does.
I dial her number.
"Hello?" She speaks in whispers.
"Eve, I was jus-"
"I can't talk Ash, I'm grounded." She sighs into the phone. I can almost feel her hot breath on my neck.
"Oh… I um, you-"
"I really have to go, I'm sorry baby I love you." She hangs up.
At least she said she loved me before she left, that's a good sign, right?

Eve's POV:
I've been in my room all day with nothing to do, I'm not aloud any phones, iPods, computers, iPads, TV's, mp3 players, speakers… I have two huge ones in my room, or even any radio. I mean c'mon.
My dad said he expected better from me, which is ironic since Michelle sneaks out all of the time.
Like, all of the time.
I hear the front door open and I hear a familiar voice, my door opens and I see beautiful blonde locks curled up perfectly. A pair of beautiful brown eyes peering at me from her bangs.
"Grace?"
"Eve what the hell." She walks in and shuts the door.
"Where were you?" She asks, genuinely concerned.
"Why does it matter to you?" I snap.
"Eve." She says. I sigh.
"I was just at Ashton's place…"
"And you spent the night?"
"Yea. So."
She pauses for a moment. Grace pretends to be offended and says "And you didn't tell me?" with all of the dramatics. I can't help but smile.
"I wanted to trust me…" I say with a soft smile. "It's just… We weren't talking and I was still upset about what you said and-"
"Look… About that, I'm so sorry about what I said."
"Grace it's fine-"
"No. Listen." She silences me. "I didn't mean any of it, to be honest I was probably just reading off a scene in my acting class." We both laugh lightly. "But look, if you and Ashton are a sure thing-"
"We are." I make myself clear.
"Well then I'll bud out. I'll cover for you and I'll stop blabbing on about Luke and-"
"No. Don't stop blabbing on about Luke. I love to hear about you and stuff… It's just I was so jealous because you guys are the same age and you can do basically whatever you want, and me and Ash can't… And it pissed me off and I blew my top. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, water under the bridge, right?"
I smile. "Right."
"Okay now hug me you little bitch." She opens her arms up and I laugh, taking her gesture kindly.
"I've missed you so much, Eve." She whispers.
"I missed you too, Grace."
***
Thank god Dad allowed Grace to sleep over, otherwise I'd be bored out of my mind.
Me and Grace sit on my bed, eating popcorn, as we browse through movies online.
"What about 21?" She asks.
"Nah,"
"Unusual suspects?"
"No."
"Casino Jack?"
"Okay, what is it, Kevin Spacey night?" I ask and she laughs.
"Fine, forget the movie. Lets talk about the boys." She smiles, turning herself so she's facing me instead of the laptop.
"Okay… Uh, how's Luke?"
"A-MA-ZING" She says, I laugh. "He's so sweet and perfect, and ugh… Such a great kisser let me tell ya…"
"Um… About that…" I start. "Is that um, is that the farthest you've ever gone with him? Just kissing?" I ask shakily, Grace thinks.
Good lord, well if you have to think about it…
"Well… We've done first, you know, just kissing… With tongue."
Yea, I've been to first.
"And uh, we got to second base, which is…" Grace puts both of her hands on her boobs, I giggle.
Yea, I've been to second.
"But that's about it, we haven't been to third. Which is, well, you know…
Yea, I've been to third.
"Yea, so what's the farthest you and Ashton have ever gone?"
"What?"
"You and Ash, how far?"
I gulp. If she's only hardly gone to second, how can I tell her I've already been to third?
Twice.
"Um."
"It's fine, you can tell me. It's okay if you guys only kiss."
"Well uh… We kiss."
"With tongue?"
"Yes, and uh, we got to second."
"Really? Woah."
"Yea and um… And then we went to third."
"Third?!"
"Twice."
"Twice?! Damn Eve, what's gotten into you?" She says and I laugh.
"I don't know." I say.
"Maybe a little bit of my crazy rubbed off on you, huh?" She nudges my elbow. I'm so thankful that she isn't going completely judgmental on me.
"Yea…"
"But you guys have never… Gone like, all the way, have you?"
"No. God no."
"Well do you want to?" She asks. Do I? I don't know, I never really thought about it. I mean, I know I love him. And I know he loves me, but… I was always scared about that.
But I know that if I do it with anyone I wanna do it with Ashton.
"I don't know… I guess."
"Well does he want to?" Oh good lord, does he? I doubt it, to be honest. I'm not like Grace, I'm not beautiful, I don't have perfect tanned skin and amazing beach, blonde hair.
"I don't think so." I say, she gives me a are-you-kidding-me kind of look.
"What?" I ask.
"Eve, I'm pretty sure he wants it. Trust me. A lot of guys do. You just have to talk to him about it."
"Talk to Ashton? About sex?"
"Well yea, that's what me and Luke did. And I thought he didn't want to either, but it turns out he just wanted to so badly that it was hard to kiss me without, and I quote; "Jumping on top of me and ripping my clothes off right then and there."" She says, I laugh.
"Luke's very graphic." I kid.
"Oh, you have no idea."
