I've always known that I'm alone (Andley)

I didn't push you away, I saved you from me

Ashley's POV

"Aw you guys are so cute!"

"Shh! He's still asleep." Andy shuffles and slides off me slightly, leaving me with room to escape. I walk to his bunk and grab his Batman blanket, placing it over him to keep him warm. "Ash, you better not hurt him again or I swear to God you will not have eyes to see, ears to hear, a nose to smell, a mouth to talk, legs to walk and your dick will be rammed so far down your throat you'll lose it and only find it little by little in your shit for months." CC warns me. "Wait a minute, one second you're squealing over how OTP we are and the next you're threatening me? Get your shit together. Get all your shit so it's together and put it in a backpack. All your shit, so it's together."

CC rolls his eyes. "Look I'm protective over my friends and I'm talking about both of you. No matter who said or did what, it broke both of you and almost broke all of us and the band. We're lucky you guys are professional in public otherwise we would be fucked." I grunt in agreement and rub my eyes. "I'm gonna go get some stuff from a store nearby and hopefully be back before he wakes up."

"Alright, just remember to get me some waffles and coffee too." I grin and nod. We have our own special code that we've all developed as a band. A store basically means breakfast and we usually get either waffles or pancakes. Fresh air either means a smoke break or about to have a break down and a drink means you won't be seen for the rest of the day/evening.

"Sure but you have to pay me back."

"I'll pay you half and you can forget the coffee."

"Three quarters and you have to help me organise a date."

"Deal." We shake on it before I head out. That's a good point, what am I going to do for a date? We could have classic picnic or cinema or I could take him to loads of concerts so maybe one every other day for a week...yeah I'll do that. And I'll write him a song. With a smile on my face and the sun soaking into my skin I plan the dates I could take Andy on. I'm so happy I have him back, maybe he can fix me, maybe we can fix each other.

Andy's POV

I wake up without Ashley. I start to panic. He doesn't want me. He changed his mind. He lied. Oh God he hates me.

"At the top of our lungs there's no, no such thing as too young. When second chances won't leave you alone. There's faith in love.". I wonder why those lyrics come to mind right now. Am I making the right choice by being with Ash?

"Morning Batman, why you pouting?" CC asks, entering the room. "Ashley's not here." I say. "He went to get breakfast. Waffles and coffee." I smile and lie down again. Maybe he does love me. That's all I've ever wanted. To be loved.

"Wassup fuckers!"

"Quit shouting!" Someone, Jake I think, yells from the bunks. "In here." CC calls. "I brought breakfast." Ashley's grin grows wider when he sees I'm awake. "Hey." I lift my hand and wiggle my fingers. "Hey." He says back. CC grabs a box from the bag Ashley's carrying and leaves. "I brought breakfast." He reapeats in a soft voice. "Thanks." He leans down to kiss my lips. "You taste like coffee." I giggle.

"You really haven't changed. It's funny," he sits down next to me, "how much you've stayed the same. I know it sounds weird but even though we've seen each other every day this tour and pretty much every day since we split up, you've stayed the same and I haven't noticed. You like the same things, act the same, eat the same. The only thing that's changed is that you've grown up. It's weird how much I've missed without realising it. You've grown up Andy," he caresses my cheek, "and you're so beautiful."

I know he's being serious and that speech was adorable but I just have to ruin it. "Ash that was sweet but, you sound like my Dad. It's weird. Stop."

"I can be your daddy." He says, straight faced. "Ok you ruined it but I'm scared. I think you're being serious." Ash winks at me. "Oh yes." I reattach our lips and fall backwards, pulling him on top of me.

CC's POV

"Jake." I call, dragging out the 'a'. "What?" He mimics me. "Ash wants me to help him plan a date for Andy but I don't know what to do." Jake's features immediately harden and his gaze turns into a glare. "If he hurts Andy again I'm gonna rip his fucking dick off and shove it down his throat." He growls. I hold out my hands, palm facing him. "Woah, chill. I threatened him earlier. It's ok."

"Good. Someone has to. Why don't we all? He deserves it."

"Because Andy's happy. Threaten Ash, Andy gets upset. Just leave it unless something happens which it won't Ok?" Jake shakes his head but doesn't say anything. "Good, now. Got any ideas?" He shakes his head again. "I'm not getting involved." Jake turns to walk away but I stop him. "You and Andy have been friends for many years, you lived together, have been in the band together the longest and now you're not gonna help someone do something to make him happy? Don't you want him to be happy?"

"I want him to be happy Chris but not like this. If he wants to be in this relationship then that's his choice and I'll be here when it goes wrong but apart from that I'm staying out of it." Then he leaves.

"There's faith in love." I whisper to no one. I guess I'm alone in planning this. Unless....

I cup my hands around my mouth and shout from the kitchen "Jinxx!"
