- Ashley? What's going on? - Aubree asked concerned, shaking me.  

But I couldn't breathe, nor blink, or close my mouth, and much less arrange my thoughts. The truth is that this only meant one thing: Nathan and Dionne broke up. 

My eyes went from one object to another in Aubree's room, while I tried to think what this truly meant. Did I have the opportunity to be with Nathan? What would happen with Patrick? How did Dionne take it? Did I want to be with Nathan? What was I going to tell him when I see him? Many questions, not even an answer. 

- Aubree... - I gasped - Nathan... and... Dionne... - 

- What? What happened to them? - I couldn't speak more. I was shocked. I handled her the note so she could read it herself. When she was done, she added: - Oh, my God. Ashley, do you know what this means, right? - 

I turned my head towards her. - I have a lot of questions in me head right now and I honestly don't know what to think. - 

She rolled her eyes. - You silly, he obviously broke up with her for you! Because of how she treated you today! - 

That seemed to add more weight to my head. I swallowed and blink, incredulous. - Do you think he did it for... me? Plus, how do you know he broke up with her and not vice versa? - 

She put on her poker face. - You could notice that he couldn't take her anymore. In another part, Dionne seemed to torture him and he is not a fool. I don't think he liked taking her orders and stuff. -

I supposed I had to believe her, because she's been -what? One time with them? And if only with that time she managed to notice Nathan didn't cope... I think I was the only person who thought the loved each other. 

- I don't... umm... It's too much for one day. - I collapsed on her bed. 

- When are you going to see him again? What are you going to tell him? - Aubree inquired. 

- Tomorrow... - I answered. - I don't know. I don't have the slightest idea of what to tell him. It's not as if I'm going to walk towards him and tell him "hey I know that you broke up with your girlfriend yesterday but I wanted to ask you if it was for me, and if it was not, it's all right, but still like that I want to be with you kiss me." - I raised an eyebrow. 

She sighed. - Not so straightforward, I mean. You should say innuendos about you wanting to be with him. - 

- You know that my name and the words "flirting" and "saying innuendos" don't go in the same sentence. And he should also take a time himself, you know, to forget about Dionne. - 

- How is he going to forget Dionne when he never wanted to remember? - 

I don't know why, but I giggled, and soon Aubree joined me. It was good to laugh, it eased the tension of the day. 

I stayed in Aubree's room for a while after that, until I remembered that the next day I had to get up early as well because of the second soundcheck. - Aubree, I have to go. Do you wanna go to the soundcheck tomorrow with me? Only if you can, of course. - 

She accepted, and opened the door of her room so I could go to mine. 

When I entered my room, Roxanne wasn't there, and I supposed that maybe she was going to arrive later, but I didn't bother to send her a text, since I didn't want to interrupt her. I turned on my laptop and checked my mail. There was one entry that really got my attention. It was from Nano. the subject of the mail was Pre-Launch Party - The Wanted: The EP. I frowned and clicked on it.
