"Crystal why can't I just go in and get my suitcase on my own?" Lexi groaned and let herself fall back on Michael and Crystal's bed. Currently, Crystal and Lexi were getting ready for a 'dinner' that was apparently planned. Crystal had been spending her entire day with Lexi and Lexi was now pretty sure something was going on that she had no idea about.

"Just chill, I'll go get it for you." Crystal rolled her eyes and got up, leaving the hotel room and walking in to the corridor to go to the room next door. Lexi rolled her eyes and grabbed her phone, scrolling through Instagram for a little until Crystal appeared in the doorframe with her toiletry bag and a white dress. 

"Uhm," Lexi furrowed her brows and sat up straight again. "I didn't have much time, just wear this dress you'll look perfect." Crystal said, throwing the dress towards Lexi and walked in to the bathroom. "Now, do you want me to do your makeup or do you want to do it yourself?" Crystal asked. "Seriously, what is so important about this dinner?" Lexi got a puzzled look on her face and got up, staring at the nude heels that Crystal had brought.

"There are going to be a few people from management, we need to look perfect." Crystal hurriedly said, closing the bathroom door. "I'll do my own makeup." Lexi sighed, walking back to the bed and grabbing her toiletry bag that Crystal had brought over. 

Lexi just wanted to go over to her room, she was apparently sharing it with Ashton again. This had become kind of a habit, which she did not mind at all. She started applying her makeup and eventually finished. Around that time Crystal walked out of the bathroom and smiled, "love the makeup." Lexi said, finishing with the last coat of mascara.

"I'm wondering why Ashton hasn't come over yet to check if I'm alright." Lexi sighed whilst undressing and grabbing the dress. "He looked pretty busy with the boys when I walked in to the hotel room, they probably just want to finish it before we have to leave." Crystal replied nonchalantly. 

"Right." Lexi sighed, walking over to Crystal so she could zip up her dress. "You look really pretty." Crystal smiled. "I'll go tell the boys we're ready." Crystal said, checking her phone for the time and walking out of the hotel room.

Lexi slipped on her heels and then walked towards the bathroom to pin her hair up quickly. When she walked out of the bathroom, everyone except Ashton was there. "Where's Ash?" She furrowed her brows, Luke looked up from his phone.

"He, uh, forgot something. But you should go over to him and ask if he's alright." Luke said, biting his lip. "You're all acting strange today, but sure." Lexi chuckled, walking past them out of the room and over to the door of her and Ashton's room. She knocked and didn't get a response. Lexi looked over her shoulder to see her friends staring at her.

Lexi rolled her eyes and then pushed open the door, getting surprised by a few dozens of white balloons on the ground and see-through helium balloons filled with confetti. "What is all of this?" She said surprised, holding one of her hands against her chest and the other on the door handle.

Ashton stood on the other side of the room with another see-through balloon with confetti in it. "What are you doing?" Lexi laughed, trying to walk over to him but being careful to not break any of the balloons with her pointy heels. "Come here." Ashton chuckled, holding out his hand. "You match the balloons." Ashton smirked, staring at her white dress and at their surroundings.

"Ash," Lexi said, staring straight in to his eyes, "what's going on." She said, holding on to his hand. "I need to ask you something." Ashton said, softly biting his lip. "But I accidentally put it in the balloon, so you need to break it to see the question." He giggled, making Lexi chuckle, "you should be happy I decided to pin up my hair." Lexi laughed, grabbing a pin from her hair and poking it in the balloon, making it pop.
