Ashton's POV

As I ran back to my car, a million thoughts and questions ran through my mind, was I too clingy? will she ever text me back? she's obviously going to avoid me. She waved one last time, I waved back and drove away. The studio wasn't very far so it took me about 20 minutes to get there, I hated that I had to go, but maybe it was better to go because I was going to seem too clingy if I wanted to hang out a little more. 

I got to the studio and parked my car. As I entered the building. "Heey Ashton." Michael says sounding really tired "Hi guys.." "Hey Ashton, are you ok? you sounded.. strange, while we talked on the phone."Luke said as he was tuning his guitar. "Yeah.. i just wasn't expecting to come today.." they answered by nodding. I didn't really tell them about Effy because they would ask too many questions and start making assumptions. 

2 hours later, we finish practicing an writing a few songs. As I reach the door to go back to the house, I hear Michael say "Ashton! there's a party on friday, we should go.. Luke and Calum are also going, and Calum is taking Mia (Calum's girlfriend)" he says with a smile "Yeah, sure then I'll see you there on friday!" and Michael just nods and we walk to the parking lot. Maybe I can ask Effy if she wants to come... but I'm sure she has something to do on friday, but I'll ask her anyways.

Effy's POV

it was already 8 pm and i thought that maybe today I would go to bed early, i really need it.  I heard the door open and immediatelly knew it was my mom, "Honeey? are you home?" "Yes mom i'm in my room!" i basically scream. She walks up to my room and asks me about my day, but i don't want to explain all of the Ashton fiasco, so i lie and tell her that i hung out with Poppy, She just nods and says goodnight.

I pick up my phone and i have 2 texts from Ashton that i didn't really expect

From: Ashton 

Hey Effy.. soo there's this party on friday.. and I was wondering if you wanted to come?

From: Ashton 

But you don't have to if you don't want to or if you already have plans.


I'm not really sure about the party, maybe it can be fun.. so i decide that i might as well go.

From: Effy

I don't have any plans on friday, of course i can go!

 From: Ashton


Perfect! i'll pick you up at 8:30 on friday ok?

 From: Effy

ok! see you on friday :)

I am a little nervous about the party since I don't really go to any parties and if I do, it's with Poppy (Who's pissed drunk most of the party) . Suddenly my phone rang and the caller ID said it was Poppy 

"Hi Pops, how was your day?" I say in a mocking tone

"Shut up, it was awful. I had to basically babysit my cousins who DESTROYED my room, anyways, how was yours?" Poppy said to change the subject

"Not that bad i guess..." i say sounding a little in doubt

"And why is that? did you meet anyonee?.."she says jokingly, if she only knew.

"Well, sort of....it's a long story, i'll tell you about it when i see you" i tell her

"Really? I didn't really expect you to actually give me that answer, anyway, I want to know who it is! How about i see you on friday?" Poppy says eager to know

"Yeah about that...i'm busy, so how about saturday or sunday?" I tell her, noticing my chipped nails, I should paint them again soon.

"Ok then, i'll text you then . Byee!" Poppy says as she hangs up

****Friday Night****

Effy's POV

This week was kind of weird, it was full of mental breakdowns and anxiety attacks because of today. I don't really know why since it's only a party, the only difference is that I'm going with Ashton. Why did  I agree on going? I know what he wants, and I am not willing to give it to him.. God I am so stupid for not thinking that before! fuck, I can't do anything about it now, so I might as well try to have ' fun '. 

Ashton and I didn't talk much this week, I still feel weird about him because he's basically a stranger and invited me to a party. I mean it's not like I was going to say no, but I'm not really sure about him.

it was 7:30, so that meant I had an hour to get ready. I lazily got inside in the shower and after that I walked to my closet to choose my outfit but, I don't really know what I should wear. Is it casual? is it semi formal? Whatever I'll go with a skater skirt and a white flowy top and my black tory burch flats, that never fails. I look over to my phone to see how much time I have left and it's 8:15, so I quickly do my hair and makeup, I just apply a little eyeliner and brown eye shadow, finally, I curl my hair just a little so I don't look that badl

I look over to my phone again and it's 8:30 already, that means Ashton should be here any minute. I feel very nervous and immediately regret going.My thoughts are interrupted by the doorbell, which made jump a little. I walk over to the door and open it revealing Ashton wearing a gray t-shirt, a black leather jacket, some black skinny jeans, and black vans. He looks amazing...wait, no. Stop Eff, remember, he obviously just wants another hook up.. or maybe not .. My thoughts are interrupted by Ashton "Hi Effy, ready to go?.." he says with a questioned look.. he noticed i was checking him out.. fuck. 

"Yes, I'm ready" i answer sounding more awkward than ever. He just nods and we walk towards his car, I can't really imagine what will happen tonight and I don't really want to.
