-Andy's P.O.V-

I reluctantly climb out of Ariel's bunk, knowing she doesn't want me there anymore. I close the curtain tightly and sigh before turning around and almost bumping into Ashley. 

He's leaning against the wall and takes a small sip of his smoothie through his bright pink swirly straw. 

"What were you doing in there?" He asks, staring at me. Ashley, always so nosey. 

"Talking." I say dryly and push past him into the kitchen where I grab a bottle of water from the fridge. 

"Talking?" He chuckles. "That's what they all say." He winks at me and smiles creepily. 

"Fuck Ashley! We were just talking, get off my back." I don't mean to snap at him but I'm just in such a bad mood and he's being so annoying. 

Ashley is unfazed by my rudeness and he just shrugs. 

"Well, in a week or two when she tells us she's pregnant, I'm not helping pay your child support."

Ashley rolls his eyes and turns away, walking down the hallway and I hold my breath until I hear the bus door close. Then I exhale loudly and open my water, chugging all of it down quickly.

-Ariel's P.O.V.-

It's far too bright for me to be out of my bunk, but Tom said I had to get up at some point. 

I plop down onto the couch and take a sip of my water before resting the bottle on my forehead. 

I stopped keeping track of where we were, but wherever we are, it's hot.

The door to the bus opens and in walks Austin Carlile. 

"Ah! Just the lovely girl I was looking for!" He says much too cheerfully and much too loud for my still pounding headache. 

I put a finger to my lips and shush him quietly.

His booming laughing stabs through my skull and I momentarily think how challenging it would be to  murder him. 

He's a lot bigger than me so it would probably be pretty hard. 

"What do you want, Austin?" I sigh, pushing the murderous thoughts away from my head. 

The only person I should be murdering is Andy. 

I can't believe he kissed me last night! I mean, I kissed him back but I was totally wasted and he  took advantage of that. 

And obviously he doesn't like me because he doesn't even want to try with me. I understand his girlfriend just broke up with him but still. 

You can't just kiss somebody and pretend that isn't a big deal. 

"God Ariel. Why do you care so much. It was just a kiss. You've done more than that and haven't thought anything of it." My asshole subconscious chimes in with me and I sigh audibly. 

"Did you hear a word I just said?" Austin interrupts my thoughts and I save my argument with myself for later. 

"Hmm, oh what? Yea no." I say standing up and stretching. 

"Tom wanted me to come get you because he said you should get some backstage shots and they're going on in ten." Austin reexplains himself and I nod. 

"Yea okay. Can you wait for me? I just have to grab my camera." I walk down the hallway to my bunk, not waiting for his answer. 

I grab my sunglasses and camera and close the curtain on my bunk tightly.
