More Than Anything

Chapter 2- Foolish Games

~*Ashley's Point Of View*~

"Are you coming to the show tonight?" I asked, though I already knew the answer.

"No. I'm still not feeling well. I'm just going to stay here."

"You should really see a doctor Amanda. You haven’t been feeling well for about two weeks now."

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure its nothing but a simple cold. It'll go away. I just need to rest ok? I love you. Good luck at the show. I'll see you in he morning."

"Night Manda. I love you." I said, giving her a light kiss. I smiled at her sadly and the turned and left.

Once the door closed behind me I sighed. She hadn't been feeling well for almost two weeks and it was really starting to worry me. I hoped that she was all right. I mean if something was seriously wrong with, I don't know if I could handle that and I certainly couldn’t handle losing her.

The show went off without a hitch. Jacob sang 'Meant For You' to Janie.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw her crying like she always did. They were so in love with eachother. Sometimes I envied their relationship. They never seemed to have any problems. The only problem they did have was the distance, and even that didn't seem to be a problem anymore.

After the show was over we signed autographs. Once the last one was signed Trevor, Erik and I decided to go clubbing, while Janie, Jake, and Dan went back to the hotel.

Trevor and Erik picked the club. The bouncer let us right in.

Trevor and Erik immediately hit the dance floor. I decided to get a drink first.

As I was sitting at the bar drinking my Kuhlua mudslide when a pretty brunette sat down next to me.

"Kayla." She said extending her hand in my direction.

"Ashley." I replied shaking her hand.

"You look awfully lonely sitting up here all by yourself Ashley."

"Eh."

"You wanna dance?" She asked as she stood up.

"I don't know."

"Oh c'mon. Please?" She said pouting. It was hard to resist her. She was a beautiful woman. She was wearing a tight red leopard print tube dress, with short slits on both sides.

"Ok." I agreed, allowing myself to be dragged onto the dance floor.

Just as we were about to start dancing, a slow song came on.

"Still wanna dance?" She asked. I nodded and pulled her into my arms. Her arms found their way around my neck and my rested on her hips.

As we danced I realized that the song playing was 'Don't Wanna Miss A Thing'. I suddenly felt bad about dancing with her to this song, but somehow, I couldn't stop myself either.

When the song ended a fast song came blasting through the speakers. Neither of us said anything; we simply started dancing to the music.

~*Erik's Point Of View*~

As I walked off the dance floor I did a double take.

"Tell me that I need glasses."

"What?" Trevor asked obviously confused.

"Tell me that my vision isn't right and that I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing."

"What the hell are you talking about."

"Please tell me that Ashley isn't dancing with a gorgeous brunette."

"Uh, what."

"Over there. Ashley is dancing with some hot chick, and it ain't Amanda."

"Oh...whoa.....dude. I don't think Ash grindin with some other girl is gonna make Manda happy."

"You're gonna tell her?"

"Well, I can't keep it from her."

"It's not like Ash cheated on her. He's just dancing very closely with someone else. There's no need to get Amanda all worried for nothing."

"Uh, I, uh, I wouldn't exactly call that nothing."

"Huh?"

"Turn around." Trevor said, pointing behind me.

I turned around and did another double take. Ashley had his tongue shoved down that girl's throat.

"What the hell?!?!"

"I don't know man. Do you think we should go over there and get him."

"Yeah, before he gets himself into anymore trouble." I growled as I headed in Ashley's direction.

"Your ass is mine Angel." I said once we had reached him.

"Erik I-"

"Save it. We're leaving."

He gave an apologetic smile to the tramp and then turned and followed Trevor and I out of the club.

I had Trevor drive seeing as I was too angry to do so.

"What the fuck was that? What the hell were you doing."

"Erik, dude, chill."

"Chill? You want me to fucking CHILL?? You were shoving your tongue down some tramp's throat and you want me to CHILL?"

"You aren't gonna tell Amanda are you?"

"You aren't gonna tell Amanda are you?" I mimicked. "Of course I'm gonna tell her. She's like a little sister to me. I can't believe that you did that. You're engaged Ashley. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I don't know. I wasn't thinking. Please don't tell her yet. I want to be the one to tell her."

"You fucking better. Or else I will."

~*Amanda's Point Of View*~

I sighed to myself. It was a week later and we were in, ell I don’t know what city we were in, but we were somewhere. Ashley was at yet another photo shoot. I was so bored it wasn't even funny.

Deciding that reading trashy tabloids might solve my boredom problem, I picked up Aurora and headed downstairs to the mini-store in the lobby.

I scanned through the trashy tabloids until I saw one that caught my eye.

Enraged, I took the tabloid from the shelf and took it to the counter where I bought it.

~*Ashley's Point Of View*~

Two weeks after the club thing had happened we were in a hotel in Atlanta. I still hadn't told Amanda about what had happened. I couldn't bring myself to do that.

All of us were sitting in Jake and Janie's room. We were all bored and basically had nothing to do. This was one of those rare nights that we didn't have a concert and we weren't traveling.

"Ooo.....hehe...I thought of something that we could do." Amanda said, with a grin on her face.

We all turned to her, expectant looks on our faces.

"We could play Truth or Dare. I know that that's like the oldest game ever and none of us have played it since like high school, but it could be fun."

Seeing as we had nothing better to do, we all agreed.

"Ok, I'll go first." Trevor said.

"Jacob, truth or Dare?"

"God, I feel so stupid. Uh, truth."

"Wuss, uh do you still have feelings for Amanda."

"Those disappeared a long time ago, no offense or anything."

"None taken." Amanda said with a smile.

"Ok, Dan truth or dare?" Jacob asked.

"Dare."

"Ok, I dare you to go next door, knock on the door, say room service and then leave."

"Ok easy enough."

After Dan had completed his "dare" he came back in the room and sat down.

"Ok Amanda. Truth or dare."

"Truth."

"What's the kinkiest thing that you and Ashley have done?"

"No comment."

"C'mon, you have to answer it."

"Do you really wanna know?"

"I asked didn't I?"

"Ok well there was this one time he tied me up and-"

"Ok, Dan may wanna know, but none of the rest of us do. It's bad enough hearing it. We don't need to know what actually went on." Amanda blushed a bit and then turned to face me.

"Ok Ash, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Did you or didn't you kiss a sleazy girl at the club you, Trev, and Erik went to two weeks ago."

"Amanda, I, uh, well, you see, and then-"

"Thanks Ash. Thanks a lot." Amanda stood up, picked Aurora up and stalked out the room, harshly slamming the door behind her.
