**Ashley's P.O.V**

I woke up with my hand sprawled upon Matty's chest, we weren't under the covers and our clothes here still on, he was still fast asleep, I could hear him softly breathing in a rhythm, I close my eyes, I look up at him, his messy dark hair spread all over his face, he was so beautiful, I admired him for a minute, I get pulled out of my daze by a knock at the door,
"Ashley," it's Anthony, "you better be awake, we have interviewers coming in twenty minutes,"
'Shit' I think looking at my phone, it's later that I thought it was, Matty's still not awake, I don't want to wake him, also he can't just stride out my apartment like nothing's happened, I leave him there, I creep out the room and close the bedroom door, I step out into a large kitchen/dining area, I'm glad this is more than an apartment than a hotel room, I open the door, it's Anthony, Jenna and Sheppard, no Peder thanks god just in case Matty steps out,
"Hey guys," I say gesturing a wave at them,
"Your still in what you were wearing last night," Jenna says sitting down,
"Uh I didn't change, I went straight to bed,"
Anthony puts his hand in my shoulder,
"How did ur go last night, you Omsk, with you telling Matty and all,"
"Yea it went fine," I say quickly avoiding the topic.
I make tea and pray that Matty realises not to come out, soon the interviewers start to arrive there's a small lady with blond hair, I shake her hand and we begin the interview,
"So Ashley, do you notice any differences between your UK fans and your US fans?"
"Well, yea, actually in the UK there's a lot of fans which are guys as well as girls which is really cool cause in America I haven't met as many guy fans compared to girl fans, also there very accepting, like if I have to rush off, they don't like try and keep me, they respect I have things to do which is really awesome."
"Can you tell be a bit about your up bringing?"
"I had a different up bringing from most kids, my mom and dad had me when they were very young and I was musically influenced by different artists, my dad was listening to Biggie and Tupac and all the hip hop scene, and my mom was listening to The cure and Nirvana and the kinda grunge genre, and so when I was younger I was listening to Taking Back Sunday and Brand New and Panic at the Disco!, and I would skip school to go to concerts, which Kids do all the time bower days but they like ask their parents, when I was just taking the train into New York and I was like 13," the interviewer laughs,
"I have some questions that have been tweeted in from fans,"
"Oh cool," I say,
"okay the first one, do you like living in LA at the moment,"
"Yea! I love LA, it's so different to New York, but when I first moved there it was awful because," I pause, "everybody is so slow there like id be in Starbucks and this girls making me a coffee and she slime "so how's your day? Do you live around here? I've never been you come in this Starbucks before? Like I know everyone," and I was just like, I want my coffee, I'm on my red eye, I need it now, like what are you doing?" I laugh and so does everyone,
"Okay, this one says, what's the last movie you watched, the last drink you drank, and the last thing you ate,"
My brain automatically turns off at this point, "um the lag movie I watched was like a sad chick flick what I watched last night, the last drink I drank was tea but the last proper drink was beer and a lot of it, and the last food I ate was Pizza, last night, we went of this amazing Pizza restaurant," I pause, I look at my friends,
'We didn't go for Pizza last night,' Sheppard mouths, shit.
"Whats the best lyric you've ever written?"
"Um I think the Fan favourite comes from a song called Colors, it's, You were red and you like me cause I was blue, you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky, and you decided purple just wasn't for you, and it's a pretty personal lyric, but when I put it on tumblr, it went VIRAL, like millions of hits on tumblr, so when people first staring heparin the song, they were like 'you stole this from Tumblr,' and I was like that's my tumblr," I roll my eyes and smile,
"Okay last question, how do you exercise and work out,"
I her Anthony snigger,
"First of all," I point at Him, "I've very athletic, so fuck you," he laughs, "no I don't work out, I don't eat healthily, I live on shake shack and sugar fish and ice cream and donuts," I pause a shrug, "I just have a lot of sex," everyone laughs in shock.

They pack their stuff away and go, I'm left with the other 3,
"Who'd you have Pizza with?" Jenna asks curiously,
"Uh, no one, I just made it up," I lie pathetically,
"You went with Matty didn't you?" Sheppard says rolling his eyes,
"No," u cross my Arms, he makes eye contact with me, "maybe,"
"What are you doing Ash? After what he did to you?" Anthony says looking disappointed,
"What he did to me? What about what I did to him? Maybe I owed him," I say walking away,
"You didn't owe him," Jenna pauses, "you still love him don't you?" She shakes her head,
"And so what if I do?" I say loudly throwing my hands up,
"Because you know what he's like? Your know his reputation? You experienced it for god sake Ashley," Sheppard yells,
I open my mouth to speak, but as I do so, a tired eyes Matty appeared from the bedroom, he has his jacket thrown over his shoulder and his hair messier than usual, if that's even possible, he looks up at Sheppard,
"I'm actually not that bad," he says, he turns his head and winks at me, I smile back, there's silence,
"Well I best be off then," Matty announces,
"Good to see you again you guys," he nods at them, he looks at me and pauses,
"I'll call you later," he nods before walking out.

"You have to be fucking kidding me," Anthony explodes,
"It's not what it looks like," I reassure him,
"How is that not what it looked like," Jenna rolls her,
"You guys don't fucking get it, do you? I need him, it sounds fucking weird, but we didn't have sex, we didn't flirt, we didn't do anything, he makes me feel a hundred time better," I say storming out of my own hotel room.
