I woke up in the morning with Carmen’s arm around my waist and I stretched to get out of bed then she pulled me back

“where are you going?” she mumbled

“I…unlike you, have school…” I said getting out of bed

“what time is it?” she asked

“six thirty…” I told her “…and you need to get up…” I added

“why…” she complained

“um…because I have parents…” I said simply then she seemed to jump out of bed

“alright then…” she said “…look after last night spence…” she started

“…Carmen I don’t think I can do a relationship right now…”

“because of Ashley?” she asked

“no…” I told her “…because of myself…” I told her “…but I have to take a shower…”

“I’ll probably be gone before you get out…” she told me

“ok…thanks for coming over last night?” I told her

“yeah no problem…but um…I’m leaving tonight…so, I guess you know where to find me if you want to talk or hang out…” she said

“ok…” I said then I turned to go into my bathroom

************************************

There’s nothing better than having your phone ring at eight in the morning am I right? No…it sucks having your phone ring that early

“yeah…” I said answering it in a groggy voice

“Ashley…it’s ethan…” he said over the phone

“yeah I know…”

“oh…ok well, I scheduled a press conference for you today at noon…and there’s something we need to talk about before hand…”

“ok? so talk…” I told him

“do you think you could come into the studio?”

“ugh fine…I’ll be there in like an hour…” I told him then I hung up my phone

And hour went by too quickly, and I walked into Ethan’s office at the recording studio

“Ashley…I feel like I haven’t seen you all week…” he said

“well maybe that’s because I’ve been avoiding you…and all this crap…”

“all this crap? Ashley I thought this is what you wanted?” ethan questioned

“I do want this…music is all I have ok? I’m real when I sing those songs, then you put Kyla in there who can’t even sing…” I started
