12 Honey, I'm Home!

After Ashton had published the video there was a moment of silence in his room between himself and Drew. All day they had been working on this video trying to make it as good as humanly possible with what they had at their disposal. Ashton for one was impressed with what they were able to accomplish in such a short period.

*Ding!*

As they were sitting there staring at the screen where the video had been posted waiting for something to happen there was a sudden ding where the first comment had already been posted for the video not even a few minutes into it being published.

[Solce: How come I have never heard of this group before? This is really good! Even better than the group though was whoever was able to make this video.]

It was a perfect comment to a perfect production. This put a smile on both Ashton and Drew's faces making them feel validation for all the hard work they had just put in over the last 24 hours.

Little did they know that seconds later there was something else waiting for them in regards to their efforts.

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

Ashton was not the only one looking at his video as all of the other members of the Burning Roses were watching the video in the comfort of their own homes. The only difference between each was how low each of their jaws were as they watched how they were able to interact with the video and each selected themselves as the focus of the video to see how they did during the concert.

It was one of the coolest things they had all seen but especially for Miko who was sitting huddled in her chair watching the video play out. The entire time she had been home she had been trying to calm herself down wondering why in the world Ashton hadn't been paying attention to her and the others.

Why were his eyes not on her when she was right in front of him? This was the first time his eyes weren't glued to the stage during the concert and she didn't like it at all. She knew that if it happened again she wouldn't be able to perform in the slightest or even attempt it. She needed his gaze.

When she got to such an extreme thought, she got the notification that Ashton had just posted another video to his blog post on the Burning Roses. She had honestly figured that he hadn't filmed anything this time since he was so concentrated on his computer the entire time but her curiosity spoke faster than her mind leading her to begin watching the video understanding why he had been acting the way he was.

"This... this is amazing. He is too perfect." Miko spoke to herself as she sat there watching the video and clicking on the different members of the group. Miko thought that there was only one person who could truly capture her in a good light. There was only one that could truly make her shine like she longed to. That person was Ashton and she needed to find a way to make sure that he was hers and hers alone in addition to making him pay attention while filming them.

While she did appreciate the video and everything around it, she wouldn't be able to perform at her highest level if he wasn't staring at the stage that they were on.

This reaction was shared by the other members of the group while they did vary in intensity and how people were reacting to it there was a consensus that Ashton was important to not only their group but themselves as well.

Back at Ashton's house Ashton and Drew were now also sitting with their jaws on the floor as they watched their video blow up in real time. With the combined efforts of the Ashton and Burning Roses they had somehow made a smash hit of a video and some were saying that it could even be considered a music video of sorts for their music. It would be a first since the group had never done much online when it came to music and lyric videos or anything like that.

*Ring!* "You have a call you son of a &%$!" *Ring!*

Suddenly while they were watching the video and all of its success Drew got a sudden call with his strange ringtone. When he grabbed his phone to quickly hang up he stopped himself and had a weird look on his face when he saw who the caller was, "I- i have to take this I will be right back." Drew said nervously before walking out of Ashton's room and entering the bathroom just down the hall.

Ashton just nodded his head saying not to worry about it and not questioning anything despite the weird look on his face and went back to looking at the positive feedback of the video.

However, this moment didn't last very long before there was a sudden knock and ring from the doorbell of Ashton's house down below, 'Who could be showing up this late?' Ashton thought to himself wondering if Drew called in pizza or something like that.

With the doorbell going off Ashton made his way downstairs slowly while still looking at his phone at the progress that the video was making which made him happy beyond belief.

He did have to stop looking at it when he reached the door opening it to hopefully see a guy with a pizza. This was not the case. Instead of a pizza guy, there was a girl slightly shorter than Ashton staring at him intently, "Mai?! What are you doing here?!" Ashton shouted in shock as the youngest member of the Burning Roses was standing at his doorstep staring expectantly at him.

"Well don't just stare, are you going to let me inside or what?" Mai shouted in annoyance as she looked into the lobby of the house behind Ashton.
