Last time on “seventeen forever”: I watch as Spencer makes her way to the school entrance. She looks so sexy in those jeans. I pull out of the parking lot when I see her enter the building. As I’m heading home my cell rings and I look at the caller ID to see that it’s my manager Ethan.

            “What can I do for you today Ethan?”

            “How do you feel about going on tour next month?”

******************************************************************************

            “Um”, I say hesitantly. Can we say bad timing Ethan.

“Come on Ashley, this will be perfect to promote your new album”, Ethan tells me.

“Ethan you  do realize that my album doesn’t come out for another three months.”

“Well that was before the record company pushed the release date up”

“Pushed it up to when”, I asked, getting pissed off that I’m not being informed about my work.

“Two weeks from today”, he tells me.

“And just when was I going to be informed or were you all gonna wait until I saw it in stores.”

“Ashley calm down I’m telling you now. Now what they are proposing is a month long tour. You’d be in twenty-two cities and you’d have a weeklong vacation during the tour”, he tells me simply.

“Do I have a choice?”

“Not really. I thought you’d be happy about going on the road. You love touring”, he tells me.

“Yeah, I know I do, it’s just I have something well more like someone here”, I tell him thinking how it’s going to kill me to leave Spencer already.

“Well Ash knowing you I would think it wouldn’t be too hard to leave. I mean you’ve never had a problem with it before.”

“Oh my gosh I am so sick of everyone making it seem like I’m such a heartless slut”, I yell into the phone.

“Whoa Ashley chill I didn’t mean it like that, I was just saying that you don’t normally “date date” people.”

“Well I am dating someone and I really care about her. Ugh why am I even telling you this. When do you want me to come into the office to see you”, I ask him totally annoyed with the whole conversation.
