Runaway Baby

Ashton did what?

"I'm standing here in only my bra. Please don't!!" You shriek. But before you got the last word he was already inside the bathroom; with his hands in-front of his face.
"Hey, This might not be the right place. But we kinda need to talk." While he slowly removes his hands from his face, with a little smirk on his face.
You blushed and tried to get the last part of your suit dry.
"Seriously you have to do this right now. While I'm standing here half naked. And my favorite band is about to play?!" You spit out frustrated taking a last piece of paper and running it over your neck.
"Hah, nothing I haven't seen before; remember. And i thought that MY BAND was your favorite?" He said while rubbing his thumb over his chin.

He gave you a hand to help you with the clasp of the suit, and handed you his drink. "I think you need this more than me tho. That gang looks like a handful."
You grab the drink to take a sip, and fix your hair shortly in the mirror.
"I thought you where mad at me? Since you didn't exchange a single word to me until today!" You now had a intense look in your eyes.
Remembering the way you left it off in Sidney, you didn't even believe that he would ever talk to you again.
He put his hand on your shoulder, and rubbed some slow circles.
"It was you who left remember. I was left in the shadows" he gave you an ensuring look, while trying to make eye contact.

The time in Sidney was more intense than you could ever imagine. You met this dude at the airport, and he all of a sudden becomes one of your best friends. You have movie nights, and parties to the crack of dawn. The guy who gave you all the attention, and brought you to all his local shows because he wanted to show what he was doing for a living. And then there was you who had lied about your life as an ordinary grad student, but actually was in line to own one of LA's biggest arenas. And here you where once again all alone in a bathroom, and all that comes out of your mouth is "I'm so sorry Ash! I should never have left you." You could feel some tears slowly falling down your cheeks.
Ashton as the gentleman he is took his shirtsleeve and wipes them away.
"Y/n, it's ok. But I need an explanation you know. But for now this is more than enough." He wrapped his hand around your shoulders and brought you back out to the consert.

You made it just in time. Jack and Alex runs on stage, and you experience all the emotions all at once. Your teenage heart is beaming with happiness.
"Hey, is it ok if I stand here with you guys instead of my fake crew?" You laugh at yourself while pointing over at your overly exited and drunk friends.
Crystal and the boys nods at you, and jumps up to give you a big group hug.
"Our fave Drummer groupie is back!!" They say in synch. While Ashton tries to hide his face in embarrassment, and shakes his head.
Were you really doing this? Were you gonna back out once again? Or should you stick around for real this time? Time will tell.
