Best Friend Zoned

Chapter Nine

~ Calum's POV ~

While jas was in the shower I went to talk to the boys about her birthday, which is in a couple days.

"So guys, what are we doing for Jasmine's birthday?" "Obviously she wants to spend it with you" Ashton scoffed. Even since we got back on the bus Ashton has been as sour as lemongrab, "no she'd want to spend it with us" I gestured to our group. 

"you know what, you guys can plan her birthday cause she doesn't give a damn about how I feel." Ashton stormed out of the room, "okay what should we do?" I asked completely ignoring Ashton's out burst. "Um.... let's just have a hang out, just us?" Luke suggested, I nodded so did Micheal. 

We were discussing what food we should get as I heard jasmine get out of the bathroom. 

~ Jasmine's POV ~

Once I get dressed I walk out of the bathroom, then I walk into the living/dining area to find 3 of the 4 boys that I have to share a bus with. "Where's Ash?" I asked, the boys just shrugged at me. I went to his bunk first, he wasn't there, I went into the back room to find him in a ball on the couch in the dark.

"What are you doing by yourself Ash?" I ask approaching him with caution, "nothing" he replied bluntly. "Come on, you can tell me" I pushed him, he sighed and turned towards me. I noticed that his eyes were red, "have you been crying?" I asked sitting next to him. He nodded shyly, "why?" " you wanna know why?" I nod " it's because I'm so in love with this girl, but she just started going out with my best friend and it tears me up inside!" He must be really frustrated about it.

"I'm sorry Ash, this must be really hard on you" I replied, "the thing is that she asked me for advice about telling him about her feelings awhile back and it took a lot to not confess my own feelings." He confessed, 'is he talking about me?'  I thought, I don't want to ask just encase he over reacts.

"Ashton, who are you talking about?" I ask hesitantly,  he took a deep breath before saying anything. "The girl I'm talking about is............. is you." I was shocked to say the least, sure I heard them arguing the other day about some girl but I didn't think that they were arguing about  me.

I was at a loss of words, "how long?" I hesitantly ask, there was dead silence between us before he answered. 

"Um.... 3 years" he said, again I was shocked. He has liked me for 3 years?!?!  

"I....uh....I need to get back to......uh the other's" I say shakily rushing out of the room.

I need to think about a whole lot of things, and I don't think I'm gonna sleep well tonight.
