*Claudia's POV*

I'm really nervous. Like really, really nervous. There are going to be thousands of people at this concert. I know it's only morning, but I'm still extremely nervous.

Sarah and Rachel aren't even up yet, in fact, it's only 5 in the morning. My phone rand and I picked it up before it woke the others up.

"Hello?" I half-whispered.

"Hey Claudia," Ashton said.

"Hey, Ash. Why are you awake?" I asked.

"I usually wake up early. What about you?" He said.

"I-um..." I sighed, "I'm really nervous, Ashton." I admitted.

"Claudia, you'll be fine! Come on, lets go down and get breakfast, okay?" He offered.

I smiled even though he couldn't see me, "okay, see you in a second."

I hung up, and quickly got dressed in something decent, and ran a brush through my hair. I opened the door, and saw Ashton walking down the hall towards me.

"Hey, Claud. Ready for breakfast?" He asked and slung his arm around my shoulder.

I nodded and we made our way down to the lobby. They were just starting to serve breakfast, and we happened to get there before other guests did.

We sat down with our food on the couch, his arm still around me. "Still nervous?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said as I played with my food, "do you ever get nervous?" I asked and looked up at him.

"Sometimes. But I'll be right there with you, you know that." He promised and squeezed my arm reassuringly.

"I know," I said and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"So what do we do all day?" I asked.

He sighed, "well, we have to do a sound check, and right about in the middle of that, some of the VIP fans get their seats early. Then, Lou does our hair, and make up for you..."

"Woah, make up? No, I don't wear make up, sorry." I said.

"Hmm, you know, I noticed that about you." Ashton noted.

"Really? Is that a bad thing?"

He shook his head, "no, not at all. In fact, some girls wear way too much make up."

"Oh, okay. What else do we do?"

"Well we basically just hang out in the dressing room and just mess around before the show. It's quite relaxing." He said.

"Okay. I feel a little bit better, now that I know everything that's going to happen." I admitted.

We sat in silence while we ate, and it was a comfortable silence. I liked being in his presence, it makes me feel at ease.

I got up, "you finished?" I asked and he nodded and we threw away our trash.

"Well, this was nice, Ashton. Thank you, but I have to go back upstairs because Rachel is probably wondering where the heck I am." I said after I checked the time.

I didn't even realize that I was holding his hand, as we stood next to each other and I blushed. "Yeah, Calum's probably thinking the same thing. See you in a bit," he said and kissed my cheek, after we got back to my room.

I blushed again, thankful that he couldn't see me anymore since he was already halfway down the hallway. I opened the door to see that Rachel was already dressed, and had a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth as she was running a comb through her hair.
