Ashley's P.O.V.

I felt like I was about to swallow my tongue at the sight of the boys, espically Jack. Seriously is it legal to look that good? Everyone was telling each other hello and I remembered I had yet to speak to Alex, so I quickly made my way over to him, giving him a tight hug.

"Hey Alex, I just wanted to thank you for even considering letting my band tour with yours." I thank him before dropping my arms and stepping back a bit.

He smiled, rubbing the back of his neck slightly, "Not a problem, it was Jack's idea really."
I tried to keep my giddy smile off my face, but it seemed to not work very well. I wasn't sure why, but I didn't want Alex to know how happy I was that Jack had been the one to request us.

'Hopefully he wanted to meet me the most.' I thought and then felt guilty, the rest of LLC was just as good as me; if not better. "Well no matter who came up with it, we're all super excited to be here. All Time Low has been Nicole and I's favorite band for years."

Alex smiled nodding, "Same with Jack and myself, we've been fans of Lost Love Crisis for about four years now."

"Really?" I cheered, my smile growing wider at the thought.

Alex chuckled and right when he was about to say something else Jack popped up beside us saying, "Of course the singers are already paling around."

If I had been paying better attention I would have sworn Alex blushed at the remark, but I was a bit too distracted by Jack at the moment.

I shrugged lightly replying, "You could say that."

Just like that Jack was off again, this time heading for Bree. There was an awkard silence between Alex and I, but thankfully Liam saved me from the embarrassing moment by striking up a conversation with Alex. My eyes traveled around the small crowd of people to find Nicole eyeing Jack and I felt a tingle of jelousy crawl under my skin. What does she mean exactly by she looks up to Jack? Does it mean something more? I don't like, a crush? I honestly hoped that I was wrong, very wrong.

Alex's P.O.V.

After meeting everyone, we all piled back onto our own buses. My mind was still lingering on Ashley's hug, oh god I feel like some kind of fucking fan boy. The rest of LLC was just as nice as her, I could tell this tour would be a good one. The only thing that bugged me was the obvious fact that Ash was into Jack, I could tell she was trying to hide it for the sake of everyone else, but I had seen that look on too many girl's faces to not know it right off hand. I wished it didn't bum me out as much as it did, so I just kept reminding myself this is for my career, I don't need this right now.

"So Lex how was it talking with your dream lady?" Rian teased and I rolled my eyes.

"She's not my dream girl." I mutter.

"Aw poor little Alex is mad because she wants this." Jack cooed gesturing to his body, causing me to shake my head.

"Guys I think he actually might be." Zack remarked and Rian frowned.

"Don't worry she'll figure out what a nimrod Jack is soon enough." Rian reassured me with a pat on the shoulder.

"Hey!" Jack whined and I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "I like Nicky anyways."

"Nicknames already?" Zack questioned as he grabbed a beer from the fridge and tossed me one as well.

Jack shrugged taking a seat on the couch next to me, "I'll help you if you want me to Lexy."

I raised an eyebrow and opened the can asking, "What are you talking about?"

"I'll just kinda push Ashley in your direction. It might take awhile, but I will make it happen; I promise." Jack stated holding out his hand to shake on it, like we were making some kind of deal.

I shook my head no and Jack sighed deeply saying, "Come on Alex, I know how you are. You hopeless romantic bastard, always wanting the chick that doesn't want you back. Well this time we're fixing it! You're getting the girl dammit if its the last thing I do!"

I burst out laughing, "Alright Jack, calm down I'll let you do it, but I don't think its going to work."

Jack shook his head murmuring, "That's where you're wrong Lex."

Is it bad that a part of me somewhat wishes that Jack might be right?

Jack's P.O.V.

I was determined to make things work out for Alex. I have seen too many girls like me over Alex and I kind of feel like a tool. I knew that Ashley liked me the moment I saw her, her cheeks were burning a fire red and her eyes were wide open, now don't get me wrong, Ash is really cute, but I want my best friend to finally have the girl that is perfect for him, and Ashley is that girl. I mean, lets think about this for a second: Ashley is the girl version of Alex, considering they are both the lead singers of their bands, but Ashley is so much prettier than Alex if I might add, and Nicky... I mean Nicole is the girl version of me, we are both the guitarist of our bands, but I'm not sure if she is quite as pretty as I am. I laughed to myself. If all works out the way that I plan it to, we will be with the girls of our dreams.

"So how are you going to try to lead Ashley to Alex?" Rian asked sitting at the table. I thought about it for a second.

"I was thinking maybe showing Nicky more attention, or making Alex look good," I replied.

"How would you make me look good?" Alex asked. He had a bit of concern in his eyes. An evil grin grew on my face.

"How about I tell her how great of a kisser you are?" I laughed. Alex rolled his eyes and laughed before he stood from his seat.

"Um, don't do that okay?" Alex grinned before going go to the back of the bus to his bunk. I followed behind him. Its not just going to be me who is going to help him with getting Ashley, he is going to be involved too. When I reached his bunk he was laying down on his back and staring at the ceiling.

"Bro, you look pitiful," I said before he looked in my direction.

"What if things don't go as planned? I mean, I really do like her, and it's not like that fan boy crush, it's real," he admitted. Damn he has admitted more in an hour than he has in years.

"Look, I have a proposition, not only will I try to lead Ashley your way, but you have to put yourself out there and get to know her, and get close to her." He leaned up on his elbows with a look of interest.

"I'm listening."

"Okay, so as you know, I was just kidding about telling her about the way you kiss, but I will say some good things about you. You on the other hand need to be social instead of standing there with a dumb smile on you face when she talks to you. You need to act cool, be your-laid-back-self. I have never seen you act this way about a girl, and it's sort of terrifying," I said.

"You're right. Why am I acting like a little bitch? I like Ash, and I'm going to make and effort to get to know her more," I said with a wide grin. I'm not sure if he was talking to me or giving himself a pep- talk.

"Which leads me to my next proposition, who ever tells the girls they like them first gets 50 dollars." I smiled, he gave me a 'you're fucking dumb' look, a look I know all too well. "What, there has to be some other motivation other than getting girl of our dreams, what do you say?" I said holding my hand out for him to shake it. He grinned and nodded.

"Deal," He said shaking my hand. I smiled before walking back up to the front of the bus with Rian and Zack. This is going to be a very interesting and competitive tour, but hey, we have a year ahead of us.

"So tell me exactly why you like Nicole more than Ashley," Zack demanded as he sat on the couch next to me.

"Nicky," I corrected him, he rolled his eyes. I'm sorry but the name Nicky is cuter than Nicole.

"And I like her more because, first of all, I like brunettes, second of all, have you heard her play the fucking guitar? She's fucking amazing, and third of all, she's adorable and Alex doesn't like her." I answered.

"That's it?" Rian asked.

"She's just adorable?" Zack asked in disbelief. I grinned, I knew what they were getting at.

"Okay, Okay she is so much more than adorable, but I'm not gonna get into that with you two," I smiled. They chuckled at my statement. I sat and thought about the reasons why I liked Nicky, and it's almost like she is my exact dream girl, and on top of that, I don't have to worry about Alex liking her. Now for Nicky and Ash, I wonder how things will play out for them considering they both like me... Hmmm, this should be fun.

Nicole's P.O.V.

I was sitting on the couch with my guitar, strumming a few notes random notes, when I got a text on my phone. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that it was a text from Jack.

'Hey there, Nicky :),' My heart almost jumped into my throat. Wait... Did Jack just call me

'Nicky'? A huge grin grew on my face.

'Hey :)'

'What's up?'

'Nothing much, just strumming on my guitar'

'That's awesome, I wish I could hear it; your a great guitar player,' My stomach was instantly filled with butterflies. 'Did Jack just say I was a great guitar player?' I thought to myself.

"Hey, why are you so smiley?" Liam asked as he sat next to me on the couch. I eagerly handed him my phone.

"J-just read the messages," I stuttered. When he finished reading the messages he smiled and chuckled.

"Well, he isn't lying that's for sure," He said handing the phone back to me.

"Who isn't lying?" Ashley asked as she walked in from the back of the bus. A part of me wanted to rub my message in her face, but then I thought, It's just a complement, and it's just Jack, We both look up to him and I'm sure she will get a complement from him sooner or later, there shouldn't be a reason why she would be jealous.

"Jack told Nicole that she was a great guitar player, and Ms. Nicole over her was just having a mental break down because of it," Liam chuckled, nudging my arm. When I looked up at

Ash, it looked like she had a tad of frustration in her expression, but she still smiled.
"Nice Nick, I mean, he is your role model so if it were me I would have been freaking out too." Ashley's smile grew bigger. She walked to the passenger seat of the bus and sat down and rested her feet on the dash board. A since of relief went through me, this means there isn't any competition over Jack... just two girls that look up to the same person. I realized that
I hadn't texted Jack back, I went to grab my phone and noticed another message from him, I eagerly opened the message and it said:

'I'm really excited to be spending the next year with you, and the rest of your band. Alex and I have been fans of LLC for a long time now, and I'm glad I actually get to spend this tour with a band that I genuinely love the music of,' my smile grew even wider, my cheeks were starting to hurt.

'The feeling is definitely mutual :),' I replied. I looked up to the very front of the bus to find Ash looking at me suspiciously, I grinned softly and simultaneously she returned the grin.

Moments later my phone vibrated again.

'Good :) I'll see you later gorgeous, tell Ashley I said hey," My heart sunk to my stomach when I saw the text. 'OH MY GOD!' I screamed to myself. 'JACK JUST CALLED ME GORGEOUS!' I kept my composure and started strumming at my guitar again.

"Oh Ash, Jack said hey," I smiled, still strumming at my guitar. I saw her expression light up at my words. 'HA! I knew she liked him!' I said to myself. 'Or am I wrong? Ugh! I want to know!' still strumming at my guitar I realized that I was playing 'Damned If I Do Ya, Damned If I Don't' by ATL. I looked up at Ashley and saw her grinning and stood up and started dancing and singing to the song. I laughed and kept playing. Later I saw Liam and Bree start to dance around too.

When the song was over I put the guitar back into its case and put it back into the storage cabinet above the couch. I sat back down and when Liam did the same I rested my feet on his lap and put my head on the arm of the chair and started to think. 'If Ashley liked Jack too, who would Jack want to be with? I mean, Ashley is super pretty, so it wouldn't surprise me if he choose her over me,' I thought to myself. I started to get sad. 'I don't stand a chance. Ash is the lead singer, she's beautiful, she's what everyone looks at on stage, and what am I? That one girl with the brown hair and the guitar... Yep, that's me.'

"What are you thinking about, Nick?" Bree asked, sitting at the table across from us.

"Oh, just about what's ahead of us on tour," I lied.

"Well, all I know is that this is going to be the best tour we have been on so far, and we are going to rock the shit out of Indianapolis tomorrow," Devin said from the driver seat of the tour bus.

We all smiled at one another. Devin was right, we are going to rock the shit out of them tomorrow, and I can't wait to do it with my best friends. I know that we have been a band since... forever, but I will never get tired of playing along side my best friends. Touring with ATL just puts the cherry on top.

Notes

Well there's chapter two! God I'm working with such a wishy washy person! So my friend helped with this part too, but I have a feeling I'm going to have to take over soon...
