Chapter Fourteen: Ashton is just PMSing
--------------------------------------

{Ashley}

We've been on tour for a week. I have had my camera out most of the time, filming the guys when they weren't even aware of it. I got footage of their silliness, seriousness and just all around plain stupidness. I got a video of Michael and Calum playing chess. Yes, chess. I'm sure it sounds lame, but it was quite entertaining. Neither of them knew how to play correctly, and they argued the entire game.

It's been a good week.

I got into a food fight with Calum, beat Niall at FIFA, had a staring contest with Liam, watched The Internship with Louis, let Zayn sketch me, played twenty questions with Harry, and taught Michael how to say please. At least, I was trying to teach Michael to say please.

It's been awkward between Luke and I since the kissing incident at the start of the week. We've basically ignored each other a lot, trying to stay away from awkward silences and being alone together.

Ashton and I haven't done much together. We only did things together with the rest of the group. He seemed to be avoiding me after his little fit the first day. I wasn't ignoring him, but I wasn't trying to talk to him either.

It's been fun spending time with the lads, but I was getting sick of boys. I needed another girls night, but Dani had already left. She had to go early due to something coming up at work. But we had fun together while she was here, and as I had suspected, we were instant friends. We had exchanged numbers and were already planning to get together again soon.

After the first concert, my mind barely turned off. With everything that everyone had said, I was still mulling over the idea of Ashton liking me. The idea had been becoming less likely every day. After that first day, Ashton and I hadn't spoken a civil word to one another. We were back to the way we were before they were stars.

Though, he did have his moments. He could be such a sweetheart one day and the next he was a complete arse. Maybe I should take the lads up on the jealousy idea. I admit I was curious about the truth.

"Hey, Ashley," Harry said, drawing my attention as he sat down next to me. I was sitting on the corner of the stage, my camera in my hand. I was getting ready to film the lads during their sound check. They were the biggest dorks during sound check and I finally had the brilliant idea to bring my video camera.

"Hi Haz," I smiled over at him as I messed with the settings on my camera, fixing the lighting. "What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out with me tomorrow night?" He rubbed the back of his neck in a shy action. It was cute how nervous he seemed.

"Aren't we going to a club tomorrow night?" I asked setting my camera aside. Was Harry asking me on a date?

"Well, yeah." He looked down at his lap, playing with the hem of his shirt. "But I was thinking we could start that jealousy thing. I mean, if you wanted to."

"Oh," was all I could say. Would it have to be Harry? Wouldn't it be obvious though? That I was trying to make Ashton jealous? "Are you sure it's a good idea? I mean, you being the guy?"

"Well, why not?" He asked, turning to face me.

"I mean, you're a major flirt." I stated, pointing out the obvious.

"Yeah, that's true." Harry nodded, scratching his head in thought. "Maybe Louis? He's the only one other than me who isn't in a relationship right now."
