ASHTON'S POV

I rubbed my face tiredly as I woke up in my bedroom, half naked and hungover. I guess you could say I don't hold my liquor. I tiredly reached over and grabbed my phone off the bedside table, checking to see if anyone was trying to contact me.

1 missed call from Gracie poo♡'

1 new text from Gracie poo♡

I wasn't surprised that she tried calling. I mean, I practically ran out of her house straight away, without letting her know where I was going. I couldn't blame her, either. If she did that to me, I'd probably run after her. I sighed and opened the text message. 

Good night, Ash. Hope everything is okay, call me when you get this xxxx

"Ashton!" The annoying, deep voice shouted from behind my door before he stormed in, "oh good you're up" he grinned. I chucked my phone on the pillow, knowing it wouldn't be good if Landon found out I was texting her.

I rolled my eyes and sighed at my high school friend, "What do you want?" I sighed tiredly.

"Aw Ashley" He cooed, "It's okay. I know you're mad with me, but your time is up. You need to tell them" he stated a matter of factly. I glared at my too happy friend and threw a pillow at him."It's not my fault that you agreed to do it" He pointed out.

"Leave me alone, Landon. I'm sticking to what I said to you all last night. After they know, we're not friends anymore. You'll leave, and you'll never speak to me or the boys again, alright?"

"You weren't that harsh on Kyle or David" he grumbled.

"Just get out" I growled.

"Whatever, lover boy" he smirked, before slowly picking up the pillow to annoy me, before he slowly waltzed out of my room, leaving my door ajar to piss me off even more. 

I'm going to detroy him.

Grace's POV


"Hey guys" I smiled as I walked through Luke's house. "Morning Liz" I grinned, giving Luke's mum a quick hug. Lola and Jordan dragged me over to the corner of the room almost immediately, which worried me slightly. Was something wrong?


"Who's Ashtons new mate?" Lola asked immediately, I gave them a confused look as if asking what they were talking about. Ashton has a new mate? That's probably who texted him last night.

"You don't know?" Jordan asked, "Oh my god Lola she hasn't met him yet"

"Who?" I asked. Before they could answer, loud laughing and heavy footsteps came down from Luke's room. I turned around and noticed Ashton and Luke with a stranger. I smiled at Ashton, who smiled back when he saw me, but it didn't reach his eyes like normal.

Oh.

"Hey" I said awkwardly, waving at him. He smiled weakly at me and turned towards his friend.

"This is Landon, we went to school togetherl" He stated. I smiled at him and mumbled a shy hi before going over to Calum and sitting down next to him. ignoring Ashton's gaze and Landons smirk. Calum had a scowl on his face, which got me too curious. 

"What's up?" I asked him, nudging him with my shoulder.

"Landon is a dick, that's what" He sighed out, nudging me back. "You okay?" He asked me after a moment of silence between us. I wouldn't have called it an awkward silence -Maybe more of a tense silence.

"Who is that?" I asked him, ignoring his original conversation.

"That's Landon" He muttered, "Complete ass if you ask me. Last time he was here, Ashton almost quit the band" He sighed, "I'm hoping he isn't here too much longer. If he is, we'll have to make sure he doesn't get Ashton on his own"

"Why?" I asked. 

"Like I said, last time he was he here, Ashton almost quit the band. Why? Because Landon asked him to. Apparently he wanted Ash to join his band with these other guys, David and Kyle I think" He muttered, "Ashton actually went over to see, without telling us, but liked us more" He smirked, "Landon thinks he can sing, but he really can't" He chuckled

"Ash ran out of my house last night. I'm assuming because of him" I muttered, nodding towards the dark haired guy.I stared at Landon blankly as I took in his appearance. He was tank, and had dark brown hair. He had blue eyes and a sleeve tattoo, which didn't suit him at all.
