"You can take the bus." Lou said, patting my back.

"I know, I'm kinda looking forward."

"You're blushing." Lou said and I look at the ground.

"Am not!" I say, smiling. "I don't know what's in store for us. I just, I want to know." I say, throwing my bag over my shoulder.

"See you in about two hours, okay?" She says, hugging me.

"Deal." I say.

I drag my suitcase and hurry onto the bus. I hand my suitcases over at the driver who stuffs it in the compartment under the bus and I make my way on. What now? What do I do now? Should I act differently? Do you think he told anyone? 

I get on the bus and I hear shouting and squabbling.  I get on quietly to see a messy-haired, tired-eyed Calum talking to himself in the bathroom mirror. I can't see him, but I can see his reflection.

"Calum?" I say quietly, trying to hear him.

"Yeah, okay. I l-... Uh yeah. See you soon." He says and hangs up the phone. He runs his hand through his hair and looks at himself in the mirror.

"Calum?" I say, wrinkling my eyebrows and coming up. I knock on the door and he turns around.

"Oh. Hey!" He says. "Sorry, I was on the phone."

"I can see that." 

He just nods and I nod back before walking pass him and heading back to my bunk where everything is placed jut as messily as I last left it. I sit down for a minute, my back to the wall as I listen to Luke and Michael argue some more and Ashton talking loudly; probably keeking.

"What're you doing?" Calum says, coming into the room.

"Why are you talking to me?" He frowns but I shake my head. "I mean, not rudely. I mean, why arent you with the boys?" I ask.

"It's kinda weird, now.. I mean, there's you and Ashton b-"

"Ashton and I aren't together. I don't really know what we are but we're not together." I say, correcting him.

"Sure, sure." He said, nudging me. "But anyways, I like Beat." He shakes his head. "No, I like Melodie. But they tease me, you know." 

"Uh. Yeah. I don't know where Ashton and I stand but..."

"I'll be your wingman!" Calum shouts, jumping into action. "Only if you're do the same."

I nod and he hurries out of the room and heads to the lounge, quickly closing the door after him. I manage to get a quickly glimpse of Ashton who smiles at me and I feel my cheeks turn pink.

I pull out my phone and begin scrolling through my tumblr dashboard, but I don;t pay attention to any of the photos. I'm mostly trying to hear what the boys are saying but when they're all together alone, they're accents get thicker and talk so much faster. It's as though they don't need any air when they're talking.

I get up and knock on the door before opening it. Everyone goes quiet and I walk in. After a few songs of silence, they return to their little conversation.

I sit down beside Ashton, who's sitting on the floor between Michael's legs. 

"Hey." I say and smile. "What're you guys doing?"

"Well, we were talking but now everyone's just playing around." 

"Talking about what?" I ask, smiling a bit.

"Uh.." He runs his hand through his hair. "Actually, us." 

"Oh? Like what?" I ask, trying to keep a smile off my face.

"It doesn't matter." He says and turns back to them. "Are you gonna keep talking about us or are you gonna play?" 

"Do we have to chose?" Michael said. 

"I kinda enjoyed the talking of you guys." Luke said, chipping in.

"We ship it." Michael said, nudging Luke and laughing.

I look down at my phone, trying to hide my peeking smile. I scroll through twitter and my facebook but nothing seems to be happening important. Other than.. Wait.. What?

THERES A FUCKING PHOTO OF ASHTON AND I KISSING FROM OUR FIRST DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERES

A 

PHOTO

I gasp as I click on the photos. There's no denying that it's not Ashton and I. The front of my shirt wet, Ashton's curly hair and dimple peaking through and my colourful hair. It couldn't even be played off as an edit. Who got this? How many people have seen this? 

"Uh.. Ashton.." I say, pushing onto his arm. "I've got something to.. Uh, show you."

"What?" He says, turning away from the boys a bit angrily.

"Look!" I say, turning my phone towards him and showing him the photo. He grabs my phone from me and looks at the photo, squinting.

"Is that us?" He asks, looking at the photo. 

"Yup." 

"Why?!" He nearly growls and turns around, showing all the boys the photo.

"Uh...." I just look around.

"What're we going to do?" Luke says, shrugging.

"Do we approach?" Calum asks and Ashton nods.

"And I have the perfect idea." Michael says, speaking up.
