Roommates

Chapter 10 | Caught in the Middle

JAMIE'S POV

We break apart from our hug. "Ashton, I-I...don't know what to say." He looks at me and smiles. "You don't have to say anything," he grabs my hand," I just wanted to get that off my chest." I feel my face get warm, so I turn my head away. Ashton grabs my chin and moves it back. I take steps back and look over at the stage. "I need to head back, but let's meet after the show and talk some more." He smiles and walks towards the seats and I go back to the stage.

As I reach backstage I can hear everyone getting ready for the concert. They're warming up their voices for the big show. "Hey, you have a special guest in the audience today." They all look at me confused. "Who?" Liam says questioningly. "It's no one famous, but it's Ashton." Two of them chuckle while Niall says, "of course." The stage manager comes around and tells the guys to get ready. Harry kisses my cheek and then goes off.

About half way through the show they stop singing. "A little bird told me that there's someone special in the audience tonight. Now this person isn't famous, but he should be. Can we bring up Ashton Irwin to the stage!" Girls start to go crazy and then recreating the parting of the Red Sea, girls start to move so that he could get through. Ashton's face is red and he is smiling out of nervousness.

He gets up on stage and waves to the crowd. "Ashton everyone." The crowd goes loud. "Is there a song you'd like to sing for us?" Ashton turns his head, sees me, then turns away. "I have one in mind." He says taking the mic from Harry. Ashton walks up the guitarist and whispers in his ear. He starts playing and soon the other ones join in too. "Her name is Noel, I had a dream about her, she rings my bell, I got gym in half an hour, oh how she rocks..." I start to get lost in the song. I can picture him grabbing my hand and taking me in his arms. I snap out of it and I beginning to know why he is singing this song.

I walk over to the bathroom. "What is happening. I'm here with someone else and now Ashton's sing a song, basically, about me. This can't be happening." I hear a knock on the door. "Jamie are you all right?" It's Harry's voice. I fix myself and open the door. "I'm fine." I smile for him. "Good, since Ashton's here. He's free to hang about backstage. Just thought to let you know that." I hug him and kiss his cheek. "You have a show to finish." I say giggly.

I walk up next to Ashton. "Nice song." Ashton jumps and turns around. "God damn, you really know how to scare the shit out of someone." He places his hand on his chest. I laugh at him. "It's not funny," I nod wiping my tears away, "you don't see me doing that to you." I calm down and catch my breath from laughing too much. "Yeah, but you just need to be more aware of your surroundings."

"About what I said earlier." I look at him. "Before you say anything I want you to know that it's true. I haven't been able to say it because...because I didn't know how to. Looking at everything I wouldn't have changed a thing....okay maybe a few, but what I feel for you is real and I know deep down inside you that you feel the same way." I take a step back and look at him in the most sincere way. "Ashton look, I'm with Harry. I came here with Harry. I agreed to go on tour with Harry. I guess what I'm saying is that you're too late."

The show ends and everyone says their goodbyes to Ashton except me. I can't face him after what happened between us backstage. I walk over towards the stage and look out to see it empty. Nothing left, but the stuff people left behind. I start to hum 'teenage dirtbag' by wheatus. I start to have a flashbacks between Ashton and I. All the good and bad flashing through my mind. I turn back and walk back to everyone.

I get there and all the guys are looking at me. Harry steps forward, "You like him...don't you?" I blush and look away. "Please don't get mad at me," He smiles and places his hand on my cheek, "I liked you too. It's just that he has been in my head." Harry smiles and wraps me in his arms. "I think you should be with him." I can sense that his upset, but I kiss his cheek and smile. I mouth thank you and I run to find Ashton.

I run through a crowd of people shouting Ashton's name. I see some one turn around and it's him.
