Chapter 7 Johnny and Ash's fight ending their partnership

As the night of the holiday concert came closer with each passing day as always all of the singers were hard at work. As promised before anyone else showed up for rehearsals whenever Ash could she helped Lance with his song with in time he got a lot better. "I have to say Lance you really improved on this song and I believe you'll do just fine at the show" Ash pointed out and Lance replied, "Thanks Ash I couldn't have done it without you. I appreciate you taking time to help me even though you're busy yourself." Ash felt happy that Lance appreciated her for what she was doing for him. While Ash and Lance were practicing Johnny was on his way to the theater and on the way he was thinking about Ash and how close they were becoming and the couple of times they shared a moment. He especially felt like Ash and him had a connection the night Johnny saved Ash from falling down hard at the ice rink. "Ash is such a wonderful and talented girl but does she like me and do I like her?" Johnny thought to himself but chose to keep to himself because he was unsure.

Johnny arrived a bit earlier than he normally did and heard music. "Is Ash here already? I better go see." When Johnny arrived at the rehearsal he saw Lance and Ash rocking out on their guitars. Johnny saw Ash smiling as she and Lance continue to play when Ash turned to the door and saw Johnny standing there. "OMG Johnny you surprised me. I didn't expect to see you until later" Ash said as soon as she stopped playing. "What is going on here?" Johnny asked them both. "Dude it's not what it looks like. Ash was just helping me and that's it. I have no intention of stealing your partner" exclaimed Lance. "Ash may I speak to you in our rehearsal room alone please?" Johnny requested. Ash went with Johnny leaving Lance alone to continue rehearsing on his own.

"Johnny is something the matter?" Ash asked him and he answered, "I'm a bit curious to know why is my partner working with the guy who broke her heart for another girl and always put you down for not being able to do things on your own." "Lance just came to me for help. I have no intention of becoming his singing partner. The holiday show is next week and I don't have time to be his partner anyway." "You don't have time to be his partner and yet you two were rocking out with a big smile on your face. To me it looked like you were happy to be jamming with him again. Are you two back together?" Johnny flat out said which shocked Ash to hear and she answered, "No I'm not back together with Lance. Look a few weeks ago Lance asked for my help to make sure his song choice Carol of the Bells sounded awesome. Even though I'm not back together with Lance what does it matter to you? Is there something you're not telling me?"

After Ash said that Johnny was a bit surprised and didn't want to reveal how he has been feeling about Ash so he told her, "Look I just don't trust Lance. After what you told me and everyone else about him I really think you shouldn't be helping him. What if he planning to not only get you to take him back but to take advantage of you all over again?" "I can take care of myself. I'm a big girl Johnny not a little kid that needs to be looked after. I don't see the harm of helping out a fellow rocker like myself" Ash said. "Well if you like helping a fellow rocker out then maybe you two should be partners with him then!" Johnny angrily stated. "FINE I WILL. WE ARE NO LONGER SINGING PARTNERS!" Ash screamed as she stormed out of the rehearsal room and went to see Lance. "Whoa Ash what's wrong?" Lance asked when he saw the sad/angry look on Ash's face. "Johnny and I had a huge fight because he didn't like the idea of me helping you even though there is nothing going on between us other than me helping you out. Johnny said I should just be your partner instead since we've been secretly working together. So how about it. Still need a partner?" said Ash. "Sure Ash that would be great" replied Johnny as he and Ash shook hands and continued to rehearse but as partners for the holiday show.
