18 Years // A.I.

Ch 11

Lily's POV-

When I finally get my turn in the bathroom, which is last, I take my sweet ass time trying to get my uncooked breakfast off me. I get out the shower and change into fresh clothes. I see one of Ash's bandanas lying on the counter. I smile and retie it so it will fit onto my head, bless him and his big head.

"Hurry up we are late!" I hear Luke pound on the door. I laugh and open it. Luke's hand stops midair. He quickly puts it down.

"I'm ready!" I shout, walking ahead of Luke to the door.

"Good, let’s go we are late for our own show!" Ash says, walking out the door and into the back entrance.

We have to stay here all day for rehearsals and then I leave tonight, so me and Ash don't get any alone time. I am bummed out because we don't get alone time before I go home. He won't be back for a long time.

I walk down to the chairs and sit down. I watch as the boys of One Direction warm up. They soon begin singing Don't Forget Where You Belong. Ash comes and sits beside me and watches them rehearse with me. 

"I got to go perform now." He says kissing my cheek and running onto the stage.

This is my favorite part of the show. Watching them yell at each other on stage about what song to do next. Luke groans and yells about hating the band, Ash bangs on drums really loud and screams when Mike and Cal just goof off and try to outdo each other. During a pause I hear doors open and footsteps running down the aisle.

"Lily!" A voice screams causing a big smile to grow on my face.

"Meg!" I shout running into her arms. I hug her and only let go when I feel taping on my shoulder.

"I'd like a hug to." Stan says smirking at me. I laugh and hug him.

I hear a drumstick fall onto the symbol causing me to look up and see Ash staring at me with a hurt expression. I unravel my arms from Stan and hop onto the stage with Cal's help. I walk up to the drums and sit beside Ash.

"Why the long face?' I ask nudging him.

"Who is he?" He asks hurt.

"That would be Stan. Is someone jealous?" I ask, looking at him qoth a smirk.

"So he isn't anything to you?" He asks smiling.

"No, I have my eyes on someone else." I say standing up and walking back down to Meg and Stan. I see Meg and Luke staring at each other.

"Eww, that thing is my brother." I say, causing them to break their staring.

"He is so cute" She says still looking at him from over my shoulder.

"Just sit and watch them." I say, sitting back down in the seat. Her and Stan take my sides and watch them rehearse the show from the top again. Before long we are rushed backstage as fans start to pour in for the show. We chill backstage as they all prepare for the show.

------------------------

I zip up my bag as Stan takes it to the rental car. I catch Luke and Meg switching numbers, I will admit they would be a cute couple. I get my purse and walk to the car as the boys pile in beside me. We drive to the airport and get out. I check in my bags and just sit around before the flight is called. 

Ashton's POV-

"Flight H184 to Sydney, Australia is boarding now." A voice booms over the speaker. I see everyone's face fall. Stan, Meg, and Lily stand up and grab their carry-on bags. Lily goes and hugs everyone before stopping in front of me. She wraps her arms around me and hugs me tight.

"Hey, can I ask you something before you leave?" I ask her, looking down at her.

"Yeah what did you want to ask me, Ash?" She asks smiling.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask. She smiles and looks up at me before connecting our lips. 

"It took you long enough to ask." She says, pulling back from me. I smile and hug her tight. 

"I'll see you soon." I say, letting go of her.

"Last call for Flight H184 to Sydney, Australia." The voice booms again. Lily sighs and turns to catch up with her friends. That is how I will have to remember her for a long time, smiling and walking away from me to go back home.
