ch.3--ugly as heck

DEV'S POV :)

"Oh my God I think I'm gonna pass out." Hailey murmurs while blankly looking at the ground, hands atop her head.

I wheeze-laugh and drink some more water. Jack had decided today was agility day. Usually not that big of a deal, I mean, the next morning your thighs are sore, but not that bad. It's just, today he added weights to our shoes, heavy weights as well, making it much tougher to sprint and jump.

"Let's get out of here, yeah?" I ask between breaths. She just nods her head. We quickly pick up salads and head back to our apartment. I sit on the couch, watching some junky reality show.

Hailey walks over. "So, whadya think of those boys today?" She asks.

"Cute, I guess." I shrug.

"Well, I thought they were all super hot, and that one-" I stifle a laugh. She glares.

"What are you not telling me?" She asks, more like commands, actually.

"Nothing." She moves off the couch. "Er, something." I admit. Her face softens, and she raises her eyebrows.

"They're part of one of the most popular boybands in Australia." I say, eyes fixated on the screen. Hailey's jaw drops.

"They were ugly as heck then, let me tell you."

ASHTONS POV

"So boys. What's the plan then?" Calum asks about tonight.

"I think we have studio time?" I respond, not entirely positive.

"No, I think that's Monday. Me and Luke are going to go out tonight. Would you like to join us?" Michael asks.

"I would. That actually sounds like fun." Calum says.

"Ash?" He continues.

"I don't really feel that well. I think I'll just stay in tonight." I respond. It's true. I don't feel all that great, but I didn't really want to go to some party (which I would bet is what they're doing.)

They nod.

We talk, play, and mess around for a little bit, before it's time for them to go. I wave goodbye and watch them leave.

I wish I was tired, because the whole night I've done nothing, and I want to go to bed.

I just can't sleep.

DEV'S POV

I just can't sleep.

I don't know what's wrong. Am I sick? Is that even what happens when you get sick?

Hailey left early tonight to go to some party probably. I tried doing yoga, and realized that, well, I couldn't. So I gave up and went to my room.

It's pretty late, and I can't sleep.

Is the gym open? A good workout would put me to sleep. They probably are.

I pack a bag with clothes to change into, grab a water bottle, my phone, and a key and head out.

It's dark on the roads and a little hard to see. I'm focusing my attention to the roads, but finding it hard to concentrate.

I swerve. At least their are no cars on the road tonight. My eyes flicker to a bright light to the side of me, and in that brief second, a car comes screeching on my blindside, making a horrific sound, and turing the lights out.
