Conor's P.O.V.

It's been a few days since Ashley broke up with Dylan and ever since then she's been acting differently. She's been all down and not her cutely ditzy and funny self. It was saturday and I decided to go and visit Ashley as she didn't came to practise. I walked to her house and knocked on the door. Suddenly a younger version of Ashley stood infront of me, her 12 year old little sister.

"Hello" She said.

"Hi, is Ashley home" I asked.

"Yeah, she's upstairs listening to you belong with me by Taylor Swift on repeat. If you can get her to stop I'd be so thankful" She said and chuckled.

"I can try" I said and walked inside.

I took of my shoes and my backpack and walked upstairs with her little sister after me. Honestly this is the first time I'm inside her house. I hear the music and quickly figures out where it comes from. I open the door quickly to see Ashley silly dancing and singing along to the music. I smiled for myself because she was adorable while dancing around.

"Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time. If you can see I'm the one who understands you. Been here all along so why can't you see. You belong with me! You belong with me!" Ashley sang and spun around to notice us. Her eyes got big and her cheeks turned deep red.

"Avery stop letting people in without knocking!" She said and glared at her sister.

"What? I thought you wanted to see him after a whole day of singing about how much you want hi...." Avery said but didn't got to continue as Ashley put her hand over Avery's mouth.

"You can't just say that infront of him. Now leave before you do anything more stupid" Ashley whispered as she pushed her sister out from her room and locked the door so Avery couldn't come back inside. "Sorry for that. Younger siblings are so annoying" She turned to me and said.

"It's okay... So how are you? You didn't come to practise today and I was worried it had with the breakup to do..." I said.

"I guess I'm still abit hurt by it..." She said and sat down on her bed.

"You can't let him crush you. You need to show him that you are stronger than that and forget about him" I said and sat next to her.

"It's not that easy because my brain won't let go of it..." She said.

"Maybe you could do something that makes you happy and forget about it for a while, like gaming" I said.

"I already tried it but I still think of him and like takes out my anger on him by pretending it's him I shoot but it doesn't work. The only time when I don't think of him is when I danced around to music like before" She said and sighed.

"That's it!" I said and smiled widely.

"That's what?" She said confused.

"You don't think of him when you dance so that's what you should do!" I said.

"Okay I have no idea what you're talking about" She said sounding like her normal ditzy self which is one of the things that I love about her.

"Well I thought you could sign up for a dance class or something and maybe it will keep you distracted and stuff if you have to practice much like if they have some competition or something. I know you're a great dancer because remember when we won the dance competition and saved Billy?" I said.

"Oh yeah I remember and thanks. I guess it's worth a try." She said and smiled.

I smiled back and then I stayed for a while and we played some sims 4 together and our characters tortured the character of Dylan. It was actually kinda fun and we made him die on purpose. Ashley laughed so much and it made me happy to see her happy. One thing that got stuck in my brain is what her sister said about that Ash wanted to see me after a whole day of singing about how much she wanted me. I couldn't figure out what it meant. Like Ashley doesn't have feelings for me in that way right?
