I had never told Hugh about Ashley and me. She had always been careful to protect me from the press; she even changed my name in her autobiography so that no one except our friends at the time would have to know about us. I had always been too afraid to tell him. I mean, he doesn’t have a problem with homosexuality but I don’t know how he’d take it if I told him that I had been in a very serious relationship with a girl. Let alone if that girl was Ashley Davies.

                So two days later I was once again getting ready for a date with him. This time we would more than likely meet Ashley and I was doing my best not to throw up from being so nervous. Erica was once again watching me from the bed but this time she looked suspicious. She wasn’t my best friend for nothing. She could always tell when something was up with me and that night there was definitely something up. I kept cracking my knuckles, something that I only did when I was extremely nervous.

                 I was wearing faded jeans and a blue t-shirt that Ashley had bought me, claiming that it matched my eyes perfectly. I hadn’t worn it but once and that was the night she had given it to me. My thick blonde hair was pulled up in a simple ponytail and I was only wearing a bit of mascara.  I knew that the concert would be crowded and that combined with the LA heat meant that I’d be sweating so I didn’t want to get too dressed up to just have it ruined.

                “What is wrong with you? For the last two days you’ve been drifting around here like a ghost. Oh my God, are you pregnant?!” She asked, in a fake concerned voice though she had a huge smile on her face.

                “What? No!” I answered, making her chuckle. Erica thought that it was terribly funny that Hugh and I didn’t sleep together and she took every opportunity to tease me about it. “Bitch,” I said, making her laugh as I went to answer the door. Hugh kissed me in greeting before walking into the apartment. He was also wearing jeans and a simple t-shirt with tennis shoes.
