	Ashton didn't speak at all, throwing Alex off a bit. It appeared like she thanked him for the water and he nodded with a smile. He caught the small fond smile she gave when he asked about singing and guessed that she hadn't always been mute. He wanted to ask why she didn't speak, but didn't want to be rude either. She conveyed to him that she didn't talk and he nodded in understanding. After a second she applauded him and gave a thumbs up. [color=00bfff][b]"You think I did well? Thank you."[/b][/color]

	She seemed to be surrounded by friends and, while he was bitter, he understood she was probably out to have a good time with them, not be awkwardly hit on. He watched a couple of girls stumbling around and was about to stand when Ashton turned back to him. She pointed to herself then the two girls and Alex nodded, those were her friends. The tall blonde took both of his hands and shook them with a smile. [color=00bfff][b]"I hope to see you around, Ash,"[/b][/color] he said as she ruffled his hair. 

	He was about to stand up and return to Thomas when a woman with beautiful long brown hair sat next to him and spoke. [color=00bfff][b]"To each their own, let 'em dress how they wanna,[/b][/color] he spoke with a hint of attitude after he noticed she looked at Thomas as she said that. No one insulted his friends. The woman offered him a drink and he shook his head, [color=00bfff][b]"No thanks, I have to get back to my [i]friend,[/i]"[/b][/color] he stated and walked back to Thomas. He noticed the shot still sitting there and a new drink also placed in front of him. He also noticed he didn't really seem okay. [color=00bfff][b]"Do you wanna go get some air? I could use some,"[/b][/color] he offered hoping that he could help.
