Don't Cry ➳ a.i

[six]

We had been driving for about an hour, and I was tired. It was like 10:00. For most teenagers, that's party time, but for me, I fall asleep. I hate being sleep deprived, so I go to sleep early. Ashton punched me playfully in the arm so I would wake up.

"What?" I groaned grumpily.

"We're almost there. Don't go to sleep." he said.

"Will you tell me where we're going?" I asked.

"No." he said.

"Well then I'm going to sleep." I said, laying my head on the window.

"We're here." he said. He pulled into a parking lot of a huge building. It looked somewhat like a theater of sometype.

I walked in with him, trying to stay close. There were teenage girls everywhere... some dressed like Rydel from R5, others in R5 tee shirts with signs. We were at an R5 concert.

Ashton gave someone four tickets, and we bumped into the tall band. I stood frozen, my usual method of telling someone I was scared. Ashton patted my back and laughed.

"Hey, I'm Ross." he said, sticking out his hand.

I unfroze and shook it.

"I think she knows that. She came to our concert." Rocky said, laughing.

I laughed too, and said "Yeah. I'm Taylor."

I noticed that Rydel and Ashton were staring at eachother. Riker noticed this too, because I could see him tensing up. I laughed and elbowed Ashton.

"This is Ashton." I said to Rydel. "Usually I'm the one who is awkward, not him." I laughed

Rydel laughed also, and she turned to me so I was the only ne able to hear her "Is he single?" she asked.

"Yeah, I think so." I laughed.

I looked over at Ashton, who was talking to Ellington and Riker. Rydel did the same, and smiled. Its too bad we're on tour. I'd ask him out. How old is he?" She asked.

"He's 16, like me." I said.

'Woah, really?" her voice raised, causing Ashton and Ellington and Riker to look at her. She quieted back to a whisper. "He looks 20. He's cute. That's too bad... I would've totally ask him out if he was my age."

Someone asked Rydel for a picture, we said our goodbyes, and went into the room where the concert would be held.

We waited for about an hour. "What were you and Rydel talking about?" Ashton asked.

"She thinks you're cute." I said, laughing a little bit.

"What's so funny about that?" he asked, blushing.

"Nothing." I laughed, and Ashton rolled his eyes as R5 walked onstage.

-

"Rocky seems intense." Ashton yelled in my ear during one of the songs.

I laughed. "How so?"

"I don't know... he just... I don't know." he laughed.
