Ashton's POV
We were waiting in the lobby for about 10 minutes before Ebony showed up. She apologized for being slightly late, her train was slightly delayed. We introduced ourselves to her, although she already knew who we were. I hadn't really looked up until I had to introduce myself. She was so beautiful. Her long brown hair hung over her shoulders. Unlike Aria her eyes were brown. She wasn't that tall either. She had one of the nicest smiles i have ever seen. She didn't seem to shy away from us. She was very chirpy and hyperactive, which I liked.

She looked at me directly in the eyes as I introduced myself and I could've sworn I saw her blush. She smiled at me before giving me a hug. It was a warm hug, I felt like I hadn't been hugged in a very long time. It was like she knew what I was going through and that I needed the embrace, because she lingered for longer than she did with any of the other guys. I smiled at her as she pulled away. It's funny how I instantly felt slightly better after she hugged me. Like that hug was keeping the shattered pieces that were my life back together for a little longer.

We sat down in the restaurant for a little while to discuss the plan of action. Today we were going to explore Baltimore before having to come back to the venue tonight, where we were performing. I was really looking forward to having someone share the stage with us. We had always wanted to sing with a female singer and this was that chance. We set off about 10 minutes later and headed out to the city center.
