"Hey how are you feeling today?" Luke asks as I walk into the living room where my three band mates are sitting and watching tv.

"Eh."

"We have to go to start more promoting next week are you gonna be okay by then?" Mike asks.

"Don't baby me, guys. It's just a break up. I'll get over it." I say, but I don't even believe myself as the words come out.

Yesterday meeting Jenna was refreshing, but as soon as I got back to the hotel I started looking through my pictures again. And I miss her so much, I can't believe she already moved on.

"What happened yesterday?" Calum speaks up. "You were doing better but then you just kinda.. Ya know."

I was doing better, I left the apartment for gods sake, but by the time it set in that Cleo probably didn't really love me like I loved her, I was a mess.

"I called Cleo yesterday." I say not looking at the guys for a reaction.

"And?"

"She has a boyfriend already." I laugh bitterly. I really couldn't tell if I was still hurt or just angry at the whole situation. I gave that girl a year and I did everything in my power to make her happy but it wasn't good enough.

"Ashton.."

"I'm gonna invite a friend over, is that okay?" I ask remembering Jenna. She cheered me up yesterday, maybe she could do it again.

"Yeah sure." Luke says. With that I go back to my room dialing her number and pressing call.

"Hey, what's up?" She answers. I can hear the sound of her skateboard rolling over crack after crack in the sidewalk along with the wind blowing around her.

"Nothing, just in a shitty mood." I tell her.

"Well that's no fun." She laughs in a breath, in assuming she's going uphill by the lack of breath in her words.

"Wanna hangout?" I ask her hoping she's not busy.

"Yeah, sure. Just send me your address and I'll skate over." I find myself smiling at the idea of seeing her again.

"Alright see ya soon. Oh and my friends slash band mates will be here is that okay?"

"As long as they don't try to consider me a groupie" she jokes.

"No promises." I laugh before saying a goodbye and hanging up to text her the address of the hotel.

Soon enough there's a knock on the door, I jump up and go to answer the door before my friends can embarrass me. Jenna is standing there with messy hair and breathing heavily; skateboard in hand.

"Remember when I said half of this town is uphill?" She breathes. I nod, "I wasn't kidding." She concludes making me laugh.

"Want something to drink?" I ask stepping aside to let her in. With a nod and her bending over to catch her breath she requests, "water please"

I walk away to the kitchen but first say, "Oh, Jenna this is Luke, Calum and Michael and guys this is Jenna. Don't scare her off okay?" I warn before going to grab Jenna a water bottle.

I come back to see the brunette has taken it upon herself to lay on the couch taking a breathe. "Here." I begin laughing when I barely seeing how red her face is.

"Thank you." She smiles before basically drinking half of the water bottle in one gulp. "So.." She starts finally sitting up and adjusting her shirt.

"You guys just gonna stare at me or?" She asks raising an eyebrow at the guys.

"Sorry, we just don't really know you.." Luke says shyly.
