I woke up and draped my arm across Ashton's bed.

"Ashton?" I asked with a sleepy voice, still tired from last night.

I shrugged, since he was probably downstairs. I stood up and grabbed all my clothes before running into the bathroom.

I put on my clothes from last night, which was a smiley Blink-182 shirt, some black high waisted shorts, and black converse high tops. I checked myself in the mirror, just to make sure I didn't look messy from what happened.

I opened the bedroom door and went out into the hall. I walked around, trying to find out where Ashton was, and I bumped into two people.

"They're both very pretty." I thought.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see where I was going." Said the one with the long brown hair and matching brown eyes.

Her friend, I assumed, just shrugged, and kept walking. She had blonde hair and blue/green eyes and was very pretty.

I assumed they were still here from the party last night, so I kept walking.

I couldn't find Ashton anywhere.

I decided to go downstairs and see if Luke was there to help me find Ashton. I've known Luke since we were kids in middle school, but we're just friends. He's more like a brother to me, and I would never want to change that.

"Luke?" I half-shouted into the living room.

I didn't get a reply, so I walked into the kitchen instead.

There, I saw Luke trying to sober up some people that probably crashed here for the night because they were too drunk, or for whatever reason they couldn't drive home.

"Oh, Hey Alexa." he said, with a calm tone. I don't think he knows where Ashton is, but it's worth a shot asking.

"Hey Luke, you haven't happen to see Ashton lately, have you?" I asked him.

"Ashton? Why do you want to know where he is?" He scoffed.

Luke and Ashton have a bumpy road behind them, and Luke knows that I have this thing for Ashton, ever since the 7th grade. Both Luke and Ashton are a year older than me, but Luke doesn't think that Ashton is a very good influence.

"Well, we may or may not have done some 'things' last night.." I started.

He immediately stopped everything he was doing and turned around to face me.

"Alexa Ryan, tell me you did not hook-up with Ashton." He stated sternly. Why does he care anyways? It's my life, he doesn't have to keep protecting me all the time.

"Why do you have to be so damn overprotective all the time? I'm 17 years old, why can't you let me live my life? I may be under age but I'm still a person, you know.

I don't have to be taken care of all the time. I can do that myself. I really do thank you for protecting me, but I think it's time you have a little fun in your life too." I spat.

"What the hell has gotten into you Alexa?" He looked at me as if I was crazy. But i'm not crazy, he's just over reacting about what I said.

"Just- Have you seen Ashton?" I asked. I didn't want anything else to start up again, so I maintained my thoughts to myself, like always.

"I saw him walk out the front door earlier." He spat.

"Thanks for the help." I said in a sarcastic tone. Just as I turned around, I bumped into someone. They looked very familiar to me. Then I realized, it was one of the girls who I bumped into earlier.
