    Emily was going to reply about his girlfriend comment, but as they walked outside and Ashton pulled away from her, she just bit her lip, looking at the girls before she looked at Ashton. It hurt, it honestly did, because Andrea and Connor did just fine with their public relationship. She bit her bottom lip hard and moved away from the band and the girls, waiting over to the side for them to finish.

    "Hey." Clark smiled, as they all walked up, "Can we get a picture, please?" The young girls, begged.
    "Uh, sure..." They all kind of shuffled around and the girls took pictures with them, seeming to melt, "We love you so much." They said, thanking the boys, as the band went back to their cars, "We love you too." Ash smiled, and they all waved, as the girls left.

    Emily had eventually moved over to Ashton's car, sitting in the passenger seat silently. She didn't even look at Ashton as he got in the vintage car, and instead she pulled out her phone and unlocked it, going to Instagram and scrolling through her feed. She was hurt, but at the same time she was angry, though she just seemed tired if you looked at her.

    Ashton bit his lip as he put on his seat belt and closed the car door, turning on the radio. He glanced over at Emily as he pulled out and got back on the rode, "Do you want me to drop you off at the apartment?" He asked, seeing she seemed really bored. He looked at the clock, they had time before they needed to be there, and a small gig in the mall wasn't a very formal event.

    Emily paused for replying, glancing at the time herself. "So I actually get a choice of I want to be locked away or not?" She asked him casually enough, starting off slowly. "That's a first. But then again, so is denying your girlfriend a public relationship." She stared out the window, awkwardly tense. She didn't want to glance over at Ashton, in fear that she would break down crying.

    "Emily, you mean back there with those girls?" Ash asked, immediately getting onto the topic, "I didn't deny anything." He defended himself, they had gone round and round about stating their relationship. His look on it was that the less the public knew her, the safer she was. He looked back over at her, "Emily, look at me." He said, "And tell me what you're thinking."

    "No, it's not just back there. It's the fact that I can't post cute pictures of us, that I can't walk around with you now because of your irrational fear, the fact that we can't have a proper relationship because of the fact that you're scared of me getting hurt. I was completely fine during high school, I was fine with my parents remarks." Emily said while slowly getting worked up. She was now looking over at him, and couldn't seem to look away.

    "Emily," Ashton rolled his eyes, "You can do all of that stuff, I don't care." He said, "We're just so young, and I want us to last so badly, but we need to be slow about this. You don't need to post cute pictures of us to know that I love you." The drummer assured, letting off the brake as he focused his eyes back on the road, "I honestly, am not the kind of guy who wants to make out in public, just so people know I'm not single, Em."

    "What the hell are you talking about?" Emily asked him with her eyes slightly narrowed. "Do you even know what I'm talking about?" She asked him. She was ready to talk about this, though he was busy, she honestly thought they needed to talk about it. She shook her head at him and looked back out the window, crossing her arms over her chest.

    "I'm talking about the fact that you seem to be mad because I don't tweet about you, or take cute selfies and post them." Ashton answered, with a deep sigh as he used a free hand to run his fingers through his hair, "Is it Con and Andrea? Because I'm so down to be that couple, I would love to kiss you 24/7, Em." He reasoned, glancing at her with raised eyebrows, "What do you want me to do?"

    "It's not even that, Ashton." Emily said while shaking her head. "Why didn't you tell everyone that I'm your girlfriend on the radio show?" So she might've found out about that from Shannon, but that didn't matter in the moment. "What're you so scared of?" She asked him. She knew what he was going to say, about the fact, but that didn't matter to her.

    "Because Emily, the media is an aggressive place, you see how all these relationships are torn apart by gossip and nobody knows the name of our band, but hopefully, one day, they will, and it's gonna be even worse. We all see it coming, Andrea and Connor were fighting just last month, because it looked like she had cheated on him with one of the boys from One Direction!" Ashton looked at Emily, "And I want this to be our little something, something special, something not everyone gets to know about, except for our really cool fans, and the band and..." He trailed off.

    Emily stared out the window, swallowing hard as she looked down at her lap. She then looked over at Ashton, her blue eyes training on him for a moment. She looked like she was going to say something, but then just stopped herself and looked out the window, holding back small hiccups. She twisted her fingers together, just wanting to get to the mall now so that she could listen to the guys.

    Ashton looked back over at her, flexing his fingers on the steering wheel before moving up a little more in the traffic. They were now going to be running late, if they kept going at the pace they were moving at. He was already a little tired of traffic, and it had been four days in LA. It was a relief when he got on the exit and turned into the mall parking lot.

    Emily got out of the car as he parked, looking over the parking lot before she pulled out her phone and looked at the text Shannon sent her. She paused for a moment before replying. She then glanced at Ashton before walking towards the mall's entrance doors, since she was just going to be apart of the crowd anyway, from what Ashton had told her earlier.

    Sure sure sure.
    Sorry, I'm hyper.
    Okay, so three weeks, they're cool now, Luke is riding again, album release party. Alright let's go.



    Ashton was actually a good cook as he made breakfast for four the morning that LA was buzzing because Shiloh Monroe was releasing her well-anticipated album, announcing her tour and hosting a huge party at one of the biggest venues in the state. Somehow, the band had landed invitations, they weren't the only one's but Charlotte had worked magic, and Ashton planned on surprising Emily when she came down for breakfast, knowing she was a fan of sort. Connor and Andrea had spent the night at her house, just because she needed to water her plants, but they all knew what really went down.
    Clark and Jake were already eating and Ashton was making plates for him and Emily, knowing her favorite breakfast. It made him happy to know she had been sleeping in like crazy, and he couldn't wait to tell her about their plans.

    Emily made her way down the spiral staircase slowly, her feet lightly padding across the wooden floor as she moved into the kitchen. She brushed her hair out of her face and looked at Jake and Clark before looking at Ashton, her vision still a bit blurry as she tried to get used to her contacts. "Morning." She greeted the boys, reminding herself that Connor and Andrea weren't there.

    "Good Morning." Ashton smiled, wrapping his arms around her from behind and placing a couple soft kisses on her neck, before presenting his meal, that Jake and Clark had already downed plates of. He smiled brightly, sitting on the edge of the counter.
    "Who knew the baby of the band would be in a cute relationship before us?" Jake turned to Clark, smirk on his face.
    "We all did. We saw this coming since we met Ash." Clark reasoned and Jake seemed to agree, very quickly.
    Ashton rolled his eyes and turned to Emily, sipping from a water bottle that cheesy grin on his face.
