I Don't own anything

Summary: Ashley has the time of her life with an unkown blonde while on vacation. But, when things get complicated and a strange encounter occurs, Ashley will have to fight for what she wants.

Previously:

"This better be important."

I dialed his number and it rang a couple times before he picked up.

"It's about time Ashley!" he yelled into the phone.

"Geez I'm on vacation. What do you expect." I said in a monotone voice.

"Well...I have news for you."

"OK. Do tell."

There was a short silence.

"Ethan? You there?"

"Yeah. Well here it goes. Your next album is being cancelled.

"WHAT?!?!?"

x~o~x~o~x~o

Spencer's POV

The door to the room Ashley is in is shut, the TV is on a pretty high volume, and I can still hear Ashley yelling into the phone.

"Is Ashy OK?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah, she should be fine."Aiden replied.

I wanted to stay so I could talk to Ashley after, but I could tell it would probably be best if I wasn't here when she got off the phone.

"Tay, are you hungry?" he nodded.

"Well let's get something to eat then. Thank you for watching him Aiden. And can you tell Ash she can call me whenever." I asked him as Tay and I got up getting ready to leave.

"Yeah. No problem. Sorry about her yelling and everything." He said

"Don't worry about it." I said and shut the door.

I really hope everything is going to be ok with her.

Ashley's POV

I was pacing back and forth with my hand on my forhead.

"How the fucking hell is it possible for my album to be cancelled?" I yelled into the phone.

"Ashley, please calm down."

"Calm down? Why the fuck should I calm down Ethan?! My next album is being cancelled! And you still didn't answer my fucking question." I said as I sat on a chair in the room.

"Apparently, when you signed the contract, you signed for only 3 albums with the company."

"So I can't I renew the contract? And why would they want to get rid of me? I gave them so many top-of-the-chart songs." I said as I curled my hand into a fist and pounded it on the table infront of me.

"Don't you think I asked them that?" he said irritated. "I tried everything I could and for some reason they just didn't want you recording with them anymore."

"God dammit Ethan. I worked overtime almost every single night just to make my next album the best. Now it was all put to waste."

"I know Ashley. And I'm sorry. But I can't do anything about it."

"Why didn't they tell me this before I started recording?" I said lowering my voice a little.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out. They either didn't know, which I doubt. Or someone there really hates you."

"Fuck that. Ethan, you better find me a new company to sign wtih. I don't wanna go back to being an unsigned artist. I hated those days."

"Don't worry Ash I'm already on it. Besides, you're the princess of rock so there are going to be tons of companies begging you to sign with them."

"I know, it's just that I've been with Record Central my entire career and that's the studio my father recorded with," I said in a calmer voice.

"I know. And again I'm sorry. I'll try figure out what really happened and I'll call you back."

"Alright. Thanks." and I shut my phone.

Fuck, how the hell could this be happening. I took a deep breath in and exhaled. My body felt less tense and I rubbed my temples hoping to bring my anger down. "It's ok Ash, Ethan will find a better company and the album will still be released and be top of the charts," I said to myself. "I could maybe even write some new songs and put it on the album. Maybe some ballads. The kind Spencer likes." And that's when I remembered Spencer was still waiting. I jumped out of my seat and swung the door open but only saw Aiden sitting on the couch.

"Where is Spence and Taylor?"

"They went to get something to eat. What did Ethan want and why were you yelling?" he asked as he walked towards me.

"The label cancelled my next album." I said looking down. I felt big arms immediately wrap around my body.

"How could they do that Ash?"

"Apparently my contract said 3 albums only and they didn't bother to tell me it expired."

"What the hell?"

"I know. But Ethan said he'll take care of it. He may know how to really piss me off on vacation, but he was my dad's manager and he is good so I trust him."

"I understand. So are you going to be ok the rest of the time we're here?" he asked.

"Yeah I'll be fine....hopefully. I was just thinking about it, and I think I might want to make some changes to the songs."

"Well then, I guess it's a good thing the album isn't coming out?" he asked in a confused voice. I nodded. "Ok good. Cause I don't want my best friend being bitchy the rest of our vacation." he said with a smile.

I really do love Aiden. He always knows how to bring my mood up when I'm down. I don't wanna know what would have happened if he wasn't here.

"Hey so wanna tell me what happened last night?" he asked with a smirk.

"Haha wouldn't you like to know."

"Well if I didn't want to know I wouldn't have asked." he said with a smart-ass-voice.

"*sigh* It was probably the best date I've ever been on honestly. And I should probably call her."

"Oh yeah, she said call whenever."

"Thanks for the info."

x~o~x~o~x~o

I'm sitting on the big couch in the lobby Starbucks waiting for Spencer. When I called her, she was on her way back to her room from McDonald's picking up chicken nuggets for Taylor.

"Hey Ash" she said greeting me with a smile and a small McDonald's bag. I looked at her with a confused look. "Taylor insisted we buy you a happy meal so you can be happy again."

I couldn't help but laugh a little. This little boy is the cutest thing I have ever seen. "Aww thank you Taylor. Come give Ashy a hug," I said with open arms. He ran into my arms and clung to me as I wrapped my arms around the tiny boy. "I'm so much more happy now," I told him.

"You're welcome Ashy."

"Tay, why don't you sit down and eat your nuggets before they get all soggy," Spencer said.

"Okie dokie Spency."

Taylor grabbed a chair and began eating. It was quite entertaining watching him pretend to be a monster and his food being people running away from him.

"Is everything OK?" she said sitting next to me and placing a hand on my knee.

"Yeah, I think so. Ethan called and told me my contract with the label apparently expired and my next album is being cancelled."

"I'm sorry." she said bringing me to a hug. "I know how much music means to you."

"Yeah. But after thinking about it for a while, I realized there are some changes I wanted to make, so it kinda works out."

"You're such an optimist," she said with a small laugh.

"I try to be."

"So you aren't that mad that your album isn't being cancelled?"

"Honestly, I was. But now I'm not. I'm just more pissed that no one bothered to tell me my contract expired."

"I would be too." she replied.

"Anyways, what are you doing today?" I asked to get off topic. I didn't want her to feel sorry for me because I hate that.

"Well, I was hoping to spend some time wtih my nephew and my favorite rockstar," she said with a smirk.

"I like the sound of that," I said returning the smirk.

"I'm in the mood for something risky and daring." I said as I got up and walked towards Taylor.

"Daring?" she said with a suggested look. "Please tell me we're thinking the same thing," she said as she gathered Taylor's rubbish and threw it away.

"I don't think so babe. I don't think so."
