"Lay i don't know what to do with her anymore? Kevin and the guys were being really nice to her but she just told them off for it" Steph confessed sitting with her sister Layla at the arena in Layla's locker room after the show.
"She's hurt Steph, you can't blame her for it. Imagine if i did that to you?" Layla explained and Steph gave her an evil glare. "Even though i never would and you know that" she added laughing.
"What else can we do?" Steph asked.
"There's not that much that we can do... It's all up to her. We can't exactly tell anyone what's happened because she asked us not to" Layla explained.
"Can we tell Kevin? He seems good to her" Steph asked. She thought telling Kevin might be a good idea as he seemed to have a liking towards her.
"NO! Don't tell Kevin." Layla sighed. She was just as confused as Steph.
"Don't tell Kevin what?" Kevin said cheekily knocking on the open door.
"Why must you do that? You come at the worst of times, honestly" Layla sighed not knowing what to say to Kevin now.
"Tell me what? You kind of need to tell me now" Kevin laughed taking a seat opposite the girls.
"Kevin, as much as we may want to tell you... You're a fool who doesn't keep his mouth shut AND we're also meant to keep our mouths shut so... NO" Layla exclaimed.
"That's offensive! I can to keep a secret. It's to do with Ashley isn't it?" Kevin asked. Layla and Steph just looked at each other nervously. "It is, i can tell it is. Please just tell me. I like the girl i have nothing against her, i just want to help her out because she's obviously going through something. Let me help her, who knows... I may do a better job of it than you two" Kevin explained. Layla looked at Kevin and thought to herself that he seemed really honest and sincere, telling Kevin may not be such a bad idea..
"Kevin, if we tell you... If you so much as open your mouth and tell any of the guys, i'll beat the living shit out of you" Layla laughed along with Steph.
"I won't tell them, i promise. Now tell me, i want to know already" Kevin said anxiously. Layla sighed and began to tell Kevin exactly what Ashley told him, that Eve her sister was dating Ted behind her back.
"NO!" Kevin gasped putting his hand over his mouth.
"YES! And that's exactly how you will keep your mouth, SHUT!" Layla demanded.
"I feel so bad for the girl. I honestly didn't expect anything like that" Kevin sighed. He wanted to go find Ashley and comfort her, but he knew he couldn't.
"I know, AND EVE" Layla exclaimed, her eyes widening.
"AND TED! I'm gonna kill Ted now, honestly" Kevin shouted, his face filling with anger. He couldn't imagine his friend doing anything like that.
"So, I'm guessing we're not telling Ashley Kevin knows now?" Steph asked and Layla nodded.
"I don't think it would be a bad idea if she knew" Kevin mumbled.
"KEVIN, NO!" Layla shouted slapping him.
"Any ideas on the whole Ashley thing?" Cody asked sitting with Kevin and Randy over dinner.
"Nope, none. Think I'm going to give up though" Kevin said.
"Yeah right. You're hooked on the girl, you're not just going to give up like that" Randy laughed.
"She's got too much baggage. I need someone who i can handle" Kevin lied. He didn't want the guys to know he knew the truth.
"Woah, man. Now you're just lying to yourself" Randy laughed. "Oh, can we leave?" he added noticing Layla walk into the hotel restaurant with Stephanie.
"Leave it alone Randy. They're not sitting with us" Cody exclaimed.
"Yeah but still. Whose the chick with her though?" Randy asked watching them take a seat together at a distant table.
"That's Stephanie her sister" Kevin explained to Randy.
"She must be a total bitch like her sister, i can tell i won't like her" Randy groaned rolling his eyes.
"She's actually a really sweet girl, just like Layla, Randy" Cody laughed. They all hated the fact that Layla and Randy disliked each other so much, for no apparent reason that they knew of.
"If you think Layla's sweet you need your head examined, bro" Randy smiled patting Cody on the arm.
Ashley and Stephanie were in their work room again getting ready for the next show. Ashley wasn't in a good mood so she hardly spoke two words to Steph. Steph wanted to speak to Ashley but Ashley just cut her off every chance she could, which Steph wasn't expecting. She knew Ashley was upset yesterday but she didn't know what was wrong today as she thought she was finally getting closer to Ashley.
"Oh shit" Stephanie mumbled once she saw Eve's name first on the list of who they had to do today. Luckily for her Ashley didn't care enough to ask what Steph said so she just thought she wouldn't mention anything to her. Steph tried to think of what to do and all she could think of was getting Kevin to come in, she didn't know why but she just ran out of the room to find him to tell him to be there when Eve came.
"You've got to do this okay?" Stephanie said after she explained to Kevin that he had to be in the make up room when Eve was there.
"Of course. I'll wait outside it to see when Eve's making her way in and i'll quickly run in before her, okay?" Kevin said. He agreed to it without a second thought. Steph quickly rushed back to the room finding Ashley sitting there in the stool silently. Steph took a seat next to her, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
"I'm here. Make me up now please" Kevin exclaimed rushing into the room and signaling something with his eyes to Steph who knew that meant Eve was on her way.
"Take a seat" Ashley ordered Kevin who went to take a seat. She turned away to get the powder when Eve walked in, so she didn't notice at first.
"Ashley?" Eve sighed noticing her sisters back towards her. Ashley felt her heart sink at that moment. She didn't want to turn around, she just wanted to hide and not have to face her sister.
"Eve" Ashley struggled to say turning around. Kevin and Steph looked and each other and didn't know quite what to do. Silence and awkwardness filled the room. Ashley stood there and felt a tear roll down her face. "I'm sorry i can't do this" Ashley mumbled rushing out of the room.
"Go after her" Steph exclaimed looking at Alex who jumped out of his seat to go after Ashley.
"I'm sorry i don't know what just happened" Eve giggled nervously.
"Sit" Steph said not wanting to talk to her since she knew everything that has happened.
"ASHLEY, STOP!" Kevin exclaimed rushing after Ashley who ran out of the room. "Please stop" he added and Ashley stopped slowly turning around with tears filling her eyes.
"What do you want?" Ashley exclaimed wiping away tears from her cheek.
"Please talk to me... I want to help you with whatever it is you're going through" Kevin said sincerely looking deep into Ashley's eyes.
"Why you? I don't even know you" Ashley said, not understanding the interest Kevin suddenly had in her.
"I feel like i know you though. It's weird but, i do" Kevin confessed. He felt this weird connection pulling him towards Ashley.
"Just let me be" Ashley said turning away from him to walk off, but Kevin placed his hand on her shoulder for her to stop. "WHAT?" Ashley exclaimed turning around irritated.
"Why won't you talk to me? I'm a good guy, Ashley. I might be good for you" Kevin said.
"No guy will ever be good for me, and i'll never be good for any guy. I'm supposed to be alone, that's just how it works" Ashley cried visibly.
"You are good enough. Whatever it is your holding onto that's making you think these things, let go of them" Kevin explained.
"You don't know the half of it, so don't pretend like you do" Ashley said. Kevin just wanted to tell her he knew, but he knew he couldn't.
"Please let me help you" Kevin sighed putting his hand back on Ashley's shoulder softly.
"You can't, and neither can anyone else" Ashley said running off. Kevin just stood there and sighed. He wanted nothing more than to be the one that Ashley could talk to.
