I woke up and I could feel Ashley's arm around my waist. My eyes finally adjusted to the brightness and I looked at the clock that stood on the table. It read 7:30am. I could see just about see Ashley sleeping soundly behind me, so I eased his arm off of me and put my legs out of the bed. I stood up and walked towards the door.

"Trying to escape?" A voice came from behind me that made me jump almost a foot in the air.

I turned to see Ashley sitting up with a smirk on his face.

"Ash! You scared the hell out of me" I still had my hand on my chest, recovering from my heart attack.

"Sorry. Just wondering where you were going?"

"I WAS going to surprise you and the guys with some breakfast, because once I'm awake in the morning, I'm awake. I can't sleep again for the day." I walks towards him and jumped onto the bed.

"Woah, someone's hyper today!" He exclaimed.

"I know. I'm just so happy! I'm here, on tour with my favorite band, no homelessness, no hunger, no cold. Just happiness." Was my reply as I took his hand and attempted to drag him from the bed.

"I'm happy you could come too. I wouldn't have left you. And you have to be the weakest girl ever. No muscle! You can pull all you want, I'm not getting out."

I thought for a second.

"Okay then."

I leaned forward and stared into his eyes, our noses just touched... Then I started tickling him. He leaned forward and started grabbing his sides. It was uncontrollable laughter.

"S-Sha-annon! S-S-Sto-op! HAHAHA!"

I eventually stopped and he fell back onto the pillows.

"Never do that again! I thought I was going to die!"

"Okay then. Haha."

"You know, for a second there I thought you were going to kiss me..." He said quietly.

"Well that was the whole plan. To make you think I was going to kiss you and then tickle time!"

We heard footsteps outside the door. Who should walk in? CC.

"You guys must be getting along great together!" He grinned like a Cheshire Cat, then winked at Ashley.

Ashley sighed.

"CC, we're not "together". I don't know why you keep thinking that.

"Oh, alright so..." CC walked out and closed the door.

I kept staring at Ashley. He's so cute. I can't love him, but I do. And if he finds out it'll totally ruin our friendship. Okay, I'm just going to have to hide it.
