     "Ally?" I am shaken awake with a start. I open my eyes and look around.  I am back in my room. Ashton stands above my bed with a look on his face I had never really seen before.

     "Did I fall asleep in Luke's room?" I ask him quietly. He nods and sits opposite me on the other bed. I crawl out from underneath the covers and sit facing him.

      "He carried you over after you fell asleep." He answers me. I look around the room, feeling awkward. There was obvious tension between us. I needed to talk to him.

     "I need to talk to you." He surprises me by basically taking the words right out of my mouth. I blink a few times, surprised.

     "Okay, shoot." Say smiling weakly at him. He takes in a deep breath, and lets it out slowly. He rubs his palms against his legs nervously before he speaks.

     "We have to break up." He states. My mouth drops slightly. I am so shocked.

     "Wh-what? Why Ashton?" I ask him. Suddenly I don't want to break up. I would have felt differently if I did the breaking up not him. Takes another deep breath.

     "You are in love with Michael." He says quietly. I feel myself tearing up. I hadd never felt more guilty in my entire life. I am about to say I am sorry when he surprises me once again.

     "But thats okay Ally," he says quietly,"you love him too." I look back up at him, tilting my head.

     "How is that okay with you Ashton?" I ask him, slightly annoyed sounding.

     "Because, you are meant to be. And everyone can see that. Even me. So, even though I love you. Even though I think you are beautiful, funny, talented, and the most loving caring person and the best mother. I won't keep you." He says, a tear slipping out of his left eye. I nod slowly.

     "Because Michael deserves that. Not me. He deserves you. And this time, I am accepting that." He adds on to his speech.

     "Oh Ashton, I'm sorry." I whisper, looking down at my folded hands in my lap. I bite my bottem lip to keep it from quivering.

     "Hey, don't be sorry. I'm not sorry. I'm happy." He says, in a not too happy tone. More serious than happy or sad come to think of it.

     "You-You are?" I stumble over my words out of nervous habit. I fliddle with my fingers and glance up at him.

     "We can still be friends. And as long as I have that, I am happy." He states. This brings a small smile to both our lips. We both stand and face eachother.

     "Thank you Ashton Irwin." I say grabbing him into a bone crushing hug. He wraps his arms around my shoulders and gives me a squeaze.

     "No problam Ally Brighten. Good night friend." He says smiling and walking out of the room. 

     Once he leaves I sit on my bedand face the wall. I fiddle with the ends of my red hair and think. The tour is four more monthes. I couldn't do it. I would bring trouble, and drama to every interview, every concert, and ever public outing.

     "I can't stay here." I whisper. I grab my phone and check the time. Around nine thirty at night. I nod to myself and start shoving clothes into my suit case. I strip from my pajama shorts into leggins and an over sized sweater. I shove my feet into vans and gather all my stuff from my room. I straighten out the bed covers and the bathroom. 

      Last but not least I write a note to Luke, Calum, Jenn, and Ashton. I explain to them why I need to go. Why I can't stay. Why it is such a bad idea. Why I need to get home to my girls. I have been away for far too long. It's time to go home.

     I heave my bags over my shoulders and excite my room quietly as not to alert any of the boys or Jenn of my departure. I tip toe over to Luke and Jenn's door, sliding the note underneath. Then I hurry down the hall to the elevator.

     Once outside the hotel I call a cab. We are currently in Italy. I grabbed my translator app on my phone and was able to (with great annoyence and frustration) translate where I wanted the cab to take me. The airport. I needed the first flight to New York. I needed to get home.
