The next few days were a little awkward between me and Megan. I was waiting for her to apologize and she never did so I went on like everything was okay. Drake had to go away for a few days to New York he was going to be on TRL for like the 50th time. He was so loyal to him since they were the first to give him his first real shot at the big time. He asked me to come along but I was just so friggin tired anymore that I just wanted to stay home.
----------------------------------Phone Conversation-------------------
Me- Hey baby, I was just calling to see how things were going. I miss you.
Drake-I miss you too. I have just been hanging around the hotel trying to relax. I did TRL yesterday and a CD signing today and tomorrow I'm doing the today show. I'm beat, how are you feeling?
Me- I'm okay I was just trying to get stuff done for the baby's room. I just wanted to ask you if I could have some money so I can hire someone to come finish it for me. I'm just too tired to do everything and the due dates coming up and I don't want it to look half assed.
Drake- Baby, I don't think the baby will mind if it's only half done. (He laughed)
Me- Please don't laugh I'm being very serious. I'm so tired anymore I don't want to clean or cook I just want to lay around. Plus schools gonna start in like 2 weeks.
Drake- Okay baby you can call whoever you want to come in and why don't you call our old housekeeper I mean she cooked and everything.
Me- Drake I like doing that stuff for you it makes me feel like a real wife like I'm contributing something since I don't work.
Drake- I know baby but how about just until you're feeling better and we can let her go whenever you feel like you can take it all on again. I mean you don't want to get yourself too tired out before the baby comes.
Me- You're right I will give her a call.
Drake- Okay I love you baby please just relax I'll be home in tomorrow night days. I love you
Me- I love you too.

I decided to go look for the numbers later right now I was in middle of a Top Model Marathon on VH1 and I had the house to myself Megan and Josh drove up to San Diego to visit with their parents for the night. I got up to get myself a glass of water and a bowl of ice cream. I craved room temperature water with ice. I know it wasn't as good as pizza with peanut butter but it also wouldn't make me barf. As soon as I was about to sit down I heard a knock at the front door. I put my stuff down on the coffee table and walked over to answer it.
"Hey Jared what are you doing here Megan's not here she went to spend some time with her parents." I said letting him come on a sit down.
"I know I just wanted to come over here and see you. We use to spend every day together and now we never even talk." He said putting the box of pizza down on the dining room table. "Plus I knew you were home alone and I thought we could have a little pizza party."
"I am really sorry I know we haven't spent too much time together lately, I mean this whole thing happened between me and Megan and I think it's just better if we keep our distance."
"I know she told me." He said sitting down pulling out a piece of pizza from the box and putting it on a plate for me. "Can I get you a drink?"
"I have one on the coffee table." I said sitting down at the dining room table. "Well I'm glad she told you, I mean she has no reason to be jealous."
"Well think of it this was if Drakes best friend was a girl how would you feel." He said handing me my glass.
"Hmmm… I didn't think of it that way." I sat quietly for a few minutes just concentrating on the pizza, being with him alone felt a bit awkward and I was afraid of what Drake would think.
"So what did you have planned for today?" He asked putting his hand on mine.
"Nothing really I was just going to veg out in front of the TV."
"Top model marathon." He asked slyly. I smile spread across my face he knew me all too well.
"Ash I think you've seen like every season like 3 times each." Mimicking a cali girl.
"Does Megan know you're here?"
"Ash look you're my best friend I don't want to lose that because she's jealous. If we haven't done anything by now, come on were friends and that's it."
"I know that it's just that you mean so much to her you're her first."
Jared laughed a little and then coughed in his hand to cover it up.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Ash, Megan and I didn't have sex we didn't even get up to that. And I can almost be positive that I won't be her first. She wanted to and I wanted to take it slow."
"But she was naked."
"Yeah and I wasn't! She got naked on her own I was still in my boxers. Ash you do know there's more then sex that can be done."
"I know smart ass it was just… she said you guys did it and used a condom."
"Ashlee I'm still a virgin."
"Oh…hmm." A smile went across my face I could see that he was embarrassed and I still laughed a little.
"Ash come on don't laugh!"
"I'm sorry, I really am. I just though …you're so handsome and smart and you're a great guy any girl would love to have you."
"Well I'm waiting for the right person." He said laughing a little.
"Okay well I'm glad we had that all cleared up. I mean Drake wanted to kill you."
"Come on let's just chill and watch some Tyra."
Jared and I spent the entire day on the couch not moving unless we needed a bathroom break. Jared fell asleep first around 10 we were still only on season 3 and I didn't want to wake him so I just leaned my head on his shoulder and shortly after feel asleep too.
"Good morning Ash we're home." I heard Josh yell I thought I was still dreaming. I opened my eyes slightly to find that I was still lying on Jared's shoulder. I nudged Jared awake. "Get up Megan's home."
"Ash calm down we didn't do anything wrong." He said fixing himself.
Josh walked by me with a ton of bags in his hands.
"Jared what are you doing here? Did you guys just wake up?"
"Josh look we fell asleep watching a top model marathon, we didn't do anything."
"I didn't think you did you're like 20 months pregnant what can you do?" he said with a smirk.
I attempted to lift myself off the couch to bop him on the head but failed and sew-sawed back and forth a few times until I gave up.
"Here your gonna hurt yourself let me help you up." Jared offered.
"Thanks at least there's on gentleman around her."
"I would have helped you but my hands are full plus you were going to hit me."
"Where's Megan she's gonna flip when she sees him here."
"Well she's coming in now. Don't lie to her just tell her the truth." Josh said with a sighing.
"Jared what are you doing here with her?" Megan screech, her voice rang through my head like a siren.
"Megan relax I came over yesterday to hang out with her and we both feel asleep in front of the TV."
"You didn't answer you phone last night!"
"I must have left it at my house, I'm sorry."
"Who doesn't carry around there cell phone? Your lying!"
"Megan I don't even know were mine is." I came to his defense.
"Ashlee stay out of this."
"Do you like me Jared?"
"Yeah you're a great girl."
"Well if you want to keep me, you can't see her!"
"Megan I'm sorry then I'm not going to be with someone who can't handle me having friends. You don't want me to hang out with guys from my frat because you're scared I'm gonna cheat and I can't hang out with Ashlee because you got this weird possessive thing. I don't like it and if that's how you're going to act then I don't think I want to keep you." Jared said putting his shoes on and walking to the door. "Ash I'll call you later." He walked out of the door without saying another word. Me and Josh said nothing we just looked at each other.
