A Beautiful Mess - A Before You Exit Story *On Hold*

6~Drop In Visits

Riley went off to get pictures with the fans, sending smiles in my direction every few minutes. And then I caught someone else's eyes. And soon enough, he was making his way towards me.

"Hi." He said as he stood in front of me.

"Hello." I replied.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Tegan." I said.

"Well Tegan, I'm Ashton. It's nice to meet you." He said reaching his hand out to shake mine.

"It's nice to meet you as well." I said, shaking his hand and sending him a smile.

"So you know Before You Exit then?" He asked.

"Thomas is my brother." I answered.

"Ahh, okay. Well, are you joining us all for lunch?" He questioned.

"Well Thomas and I were getting lunch, so I would think so." I said.

"Ahh, great." He said smiling.

"Tegan!" Riley yelled from the other side of the crowd of girls.

"I'll see you later Ashton. It was great to meet you." I said with a smile before rushing to Riley's side.

"Want to go grab some Starbucks with me?" Riley whispered in my ear as I reached him. 

I nodded in response before he took my hand and we slipped out the door and down the street. 

"Thomas is going to hate me by the end of this tour." Riley said.

"He'll hate us both, it's okay." I said with a laugh.

"What do you want to drink? My treat." He said as we entered the Starbucks.

"Grande Mocha Cookie Crumble." I said.

He turned and looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He said as he shook his head, a grin on his face before ordering, "Two Grande Mocha Cookie Crumbles please."

He payed and we walked over to wait for our drinks. When they were done, we took them and walked over to a table near the back, trying to stay away from the windows and avoid anymore fans for right now.

"Oi McDonough! You're brothers have been looking for you." a British voice said from the store enterance.

I turned to face none other than THE Olly Murs. 

"We just came to get drinks. I'll go back in a few." Riley responded.

Olly ordered a drink before coming to our table and sitting down next to Riley.

"So, you must be Silvers' sister, am I right?" Olly asked.

"That would be correct." I said.

"Well I'm Olly, it's nice to finally meet you." He said.

"Tegan, and it's nice to meet you as well." I said.

"Well, I should get going, get ready for the concert and all. Riley, you probably should too." Olly said as he stood from the table. 

"Right." Riley said as he stood as well.

I joined them, not quite sure I was ready to face Thomas just yet. Riley took my hand in his as we walked, reaching the venue quite easily and going in for sound check. I stood and watched the boys do their soundcheck only to have some unexpected guests join me.

"Hey Silvers." an Australian voice said as they sat down next to me.

"Ashton." I said.

"These are the other boys. Luke, Calum, and Michael." He said as he introduced the rest of the band.

"Tegan." I said with a smile and wave.

They all waved and smiled back as they stood at my sides. 

"So, which one are you dating?" Luke questioned.

"None of them. My brother won't let me." I said simply.

"You and Riley seemed pretty close earlier." Ashton retorted.

"We're just friends." I stated.

"Okay, so you're single then?" Ashton asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Cool." He said.

"Ashton thinks you're pretty." Michael threw out quickly.

I raised and eyebrow, my arms crossed over my chest, and turned to look at Ashton who was red in the face and trying not to look at me.

"Is that so?" I asked.

"Yep. He told us earlier." Calum said.

"Well, Ashton, anything to say?" I asked.

"Want to go for coffee later?" He asked as he looked at me.

"I don't see why not." I agreed. 

And who knew one coffee date would lead to so much trouble...
