I Gave It All

Claudia's POV~~

The bus ran over a large bump in the road, causing me to wake up. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, remembering last night while a huge smile spread across my face. I got out of bed and walked out to the lounge, noticing only Ashley up.

"Hey Ash." I said. He looked up at me and smiled. I took a seat next to him.

"Hey Claudia. How are you?" He asked.

"I'm good. How does it feel being engaged to the man you love?" I asked him with a nudge. He smiled.

"Like... everything I've ever wanted in life. I just didn't know it earlier before we got together."He said.

"That's what love does to you." I said. I looked at him.

"So, you and Austin huh?"

"Me and Austin.." I agreed.

"You know, he's liked you for a while now." Ashley said.

"I know." I said. CC walked out and kissed Ashley before sitting next to him.

"Are we going to have another end of tour party?" CC asked.

"Sure. Claudia, you going to help?" Ashley asked.

"I don't think so. Not this time guys. I'm going to go over to Austin's and hang out." I said. Ashley groaned.

"But you're my party pal!! We always throw parties together!" Ashley whined.

"And really awesome ones at that." CC said.

"Maybe CC can sub in for me this time. Sorry Ash." I said. Ashley pouted and looked at me with sad eyes.

"Pouting won't work." I said.

"I'll help, don't worry babe." CC said. Ashley sighed and then turned to CC with a smile.

"Alright." Ashley said. CC grinned and pecked Ashley's nose. I smiled at their cuteness and Andy walked out just as the bus hit another bump.

"Motherfucker."Andy muttered.

"Such sweet words, Andy." I said. He looked at me and grinned while giving me the finger. He took a seat on the floor in front of me.

"I ran into Austin last night." Andy said.

"Is that so?" I asked.

"It's so. He told me that you guys are finally dating."

"And he wasn't wrong, either." I said.

"Congrats... and you two.." Andy pointed to CC and Ashley.

"You guys are meant for each other." He said. Jinxx and Sammi walked out next, holding hands.

"Where were you two last night?" I asked.

"Well, after the show, I took Sammi here out on a date." Jinxx said with a little smirk.

"Why are you smirking? Nothing good ever happens behind a smirk." I said.

"Well... long story short, we're engaged." Sammi said.

"Congratulations you guys!" I said.

"Thanks." Jinxx said. Jake then walked in, his hair a mess, and puffy red eyes. He looked horrible. He looked at me, rolled his eyes and sat down across from me. I just looked down and shook my head.

"Hey Jake.. uh what's up with you?" Andy asked.

"It doesn't matter." He snapped. Jinxx looked up at him and raised his eyebrows.

"Well.. it looks like it matters." Sammi said. Jake just sighed.

"Fine. I'll tell you. Ella dumped me last night. Happy?" He said.

"Why would that make us happy?" I muttered?

"What?" Jake asked, making it clear he didn't hear me.

"Why would that make us happy?" I repeated again, this time looking at him.

"Maybe because you.. are already in a happy relationship.. a relationship that I used to have... but not anymore." Jake said. I looked at him as my mouth fell open.

"Well, you sure fucked that up, huh." I snapped. I stood up and returned to my bunk the rest of the way back to Ashley's place.
