*Ashton's POV*

Deciding that if I wait any longer to get something to eat I'll pass out so I reluctantly pull myself out of my bed and away from my phone. I look to my clock seeing that I've been sitting there waiting for Jenna to call or even text for almost three hours.

Sigh.

I step out of my room to see the guys sitting around the living room. Their eyes fall to me as I roll mind walking into the kitchen and making myself a sandwich. They pile in one by one giving me the, "we need to talk about this" look, but quite frankly I have nothing to say.

"Ashton.." Calum speaks up, but I don't say a thing.

"Listen we didn't mean to-" Luke starts, but I put my hand up to stop him.

"Save it. I don't care."

"Obviously you do." Michael mutters. With that I slam the mustard bottle on the counter looking up at my band mates.

"Fine, you wanna talk about this? We'll talk about it. Why? Why would you let Cleo try and find a way back into my life?" I question trying to make sense of the situation, but i can't.

"We know what happened okay, we saw how she hurt you. But she made you happy at one point, the happiest you've been and if we could get that back for you then why not?" Calum explains.

"Well jokes on you because I was more miserable with her than I was without her." I laugh. They look at me confused so I continue, "I didn't feel that way for Cleo anymore, I don't know why, I don't know what changed, but she just annoyed the shit out of me. I had to force myself to be with her so I could try and remember things. In reality, I wanted someone else rather than her."

"Jenna." Calum guesses. Now It was my turn to be confused.

How the-

"Oh, come on I've seen the way you look at her. And you almost kicked my ass just for hugging her." Calum laughs.

"Well now that's to shit because she ran out this morning and I have no idea why." I sigh lifting myself on the counter.

"Why? You guys looked cozy this morning." Michael winks.

"We-uh we kinda.. Hooked up last night." I admit making all their faces drop.

Suddenly a chorus of "Ohh!!!" We're followed and they started chanting, "YOU LIKE JENNA YOU LIKE JENNA."

And this time I don't deny it because I do like Jenna, a lot actually.

"Anyways!" I call out making them quiet down, "I get what you guys did now.. With Cleo.." I trail off.

They were trying to help me find my old happiness again, it's not their fault they didn't know i wouldn't feel the same.

"We were just worried about you ash.." Luke shrugs.

"I know, thank you." I smile awkwardly at my friends not being good at this whole heart to heart nonsense.

Finishing my masterpiece I take the plate and walk to the living room taking a seat and biting into my sandwich as the guys follow me. Staring at me I finish chewing before I ask, "What now?"

"You and Jenna." Calum says simply like its obvious.

"What about us?" I play dumb praying they won't try playing match maker.

"You hooked up and she ran out, aren't you a little curious as to why?" Michael points out. They all take a seat on the couches with me signaling that they're not letting this go.
