"Okay, I call shower first!" Callie laughed as we walked into her house.

We had just got back from getting our nails done and she insisted on us getting ready at house. She thought I'd get too distracted being at Luke's (which I don't disagree). I sat on the counter in her bathroom, shaving my legs while she showered, and we just talked. I was hardly paying attention due to Ashton sending in text after text. My stomach turned and I felt like I was going to vomit.

Kissing Ashton last night felt absolutely amazing, almost as amazing as the show itself. That's what scared me so much about everything. I couldn't bring myself to tell Ashton about Luke because then he'd tell Drew, who'd tell Michael, who'd kill Luke. So, I just kept talking to Ash, which didn't bother me because I wanted to talk to him. I wanted the fast replies and smart-assed comments he'd make whenever we were talking just because he knew it made me happy. My heart jumped before slightly weighing down, a feeling I thought I had gotten rid of.

I felt water splash on me with the sound of Callie, "Lacy? Hello?!"

"Hm? Sorry."

"Have you been listening to anything I've been saying?"

I sighed, "Sorry, I'm really distracted."

She laughed, "Let me guess, texting Mr. Lover-boy?"

I shook my head, sarcastically laughing, "Kind of."

She popped her head outside of the curtain, looking me dead in the eyes, "You did not! Lacy, please tell me I'm wrong."

"Depends if what you're referring to is Ash and I kissing last night and that's why Nate was smirking when he went to get me for warm-ups."

"Exactly what I'm referring to. So, Nate caught you guys, but didn't tell anyone?" She turned off the tap, wrapping her hair up and a towel around her.

I put my head in my hands, "I don't think so, I hope not."

"Are you going to tell Luke?"

"And say what; Oh, hey, Ash and I kind of made out before the show last night while we were in the bathroom and he hasn't stopped texting me since, but I don't mind because I'm still kinda love the kid; I can't just do that."

"Whoa," Callie stopped me, "Two steps back, you still love Ashton?"

I shrunk down, "Well, I never exactly got the chance to stop. It was just a continuous thing from day one, Luke couldn't make that disappear. I mean, Ash and I dated for over 2 years."

"Yet you say you love Luke too."

"I do love Luke, but in so many ways, with Ash it's plan and simple. There's a difference; I need Luke, but I want Ashton."

Callie sighed, pulling me in for a hug, "You'll figure it out, you always do."

After both of us showered and shaved we blasted music throughout the entire house. I curled both off our's hair before doing our makeup. Keeping mine neutral and Callie's slightly smokey, I lined her lips before putting on a pinkie nude, whereas I put on a red lip stain. We zipped up each others dresses, I wore a black strapless dress, with small sequins and an almost mesh part around my torso. Callie's dress was blue with a silver beaded bust. After that we just slipped on our heels and whatever jewelry before checking each other.
