“Yes,” Ashley replied with a hesitant nod. “Several times… the relationship was just physical, nothing more.”

“I see,” the blonde muttered lifting an eyebrow.

The rocker frowned in confusion. “Okay,” she stretched. “What does that mean?”

“Nothing,” Spencer whispered heading towards the rocker’s dressing room.

“Spencer,” Ashley called after her girlfriend helplessly. The rocker turned towards the Trouble Makers. Her eyes were glazed over with anger. “Why didn’t anyone tell me her band would be opening the shows,” she hissed. “That couldn’t have been anymore awkward.”

“Their band always opens for us,” Ryan interjected.

“It’s not a big deal,” Brian shrugged.

“Not a big deal,” the rocker yelled. “My fiancée and my ex … fuck buddy are going to be touring together! Trust me when I say this is a big fucking deal!”

“We’re sorry,” Tom whispered. “We didn’t know-”

“Save it,” she hissed storming towards her dressing room.

“What a way to kick off a tour huh,” Eric deadpanned.

Danny shoved him. “Dude, shut up, this probably all your fault anyways.”

“My fault,” he rebutted. “Excuse me; I’m in charge of transportation not the booking of the opening band idiot.”

“It’s not your fault it’s mine,” Clay sighed looking down. “My first big job as a manager and I’ve already screwed up. How could I have been so stupid?”

“Hey, Clay you’re doing a great job as manger,” Ryan assured patting his back. “Besides, who cares if you’ve hired Heather’s band? Ashley’s changed remember? This shouldn’t affect her.”

“Okay that’s fine Ashley’s changed we know that,” Tom interjected. “What about Heather? Who’s to say just because Ashley’s a changed woman Heather is going to change?”

The boys got quiet.

When Ashley entered her dressing room she saw Spencer fiddling with her stage makeup on the vanity. The rocker quietly shut the door and moved over towards her fiancée.

“Angel,” she sighed. “I had no idea that she’d be touring with us. Had I known I would have never had her billed for the tour believe me.”

“I understand that Ash,” Spencer said with a light smile. “I’m just acting like a baby. I’m sure there are a lot of women from your past that I don’t know about.”

Ashley opened her mouth to speak. The blonde stopped her. “That’s fine. I don’t want to know about all of your … encounters. The past was the past and I have no right to get all jealous over a … past fling.”
