Third person POV

The grass was dry with the hot weather rolling in, temperatures of 40 -50° tackling the states. The feeling of the green ground beneath his feet was rough and crunched with every move. He didn't care though, the alcohol had taken control of him and changed his reality. He no longer felt the heat on his skin, he only felt the effects of the liquid flowing through him, making him feel lighter than before.

He may have felt lighter but his thoughts were dark, his emotions filled with sorrow and heartbreak. The tears trailing down his cheeks the only evidence of the darkness within, the only sign that something was wrong. Nobody cared though. The people walking past only saw him as another drunk. Nothing more and nothing less. But that was okay, he thought. That was okay because it wasn't HIM walking past him and ignoring him.

The dark thoughts of the past entered his mind, creating a tunnel back to the different time and unleashing the demons within. His smile. His laugh. His eyes. Everything. Everything about HIM was a bomb. Inviting him in and killing him quickly. Leaving scarred remains behind. Fragments of who he was before.

Ashley fell to his knees, the tears falling onto the dry ground as his body shook with each sob. The past memories bombarded him, the alcohol making the images clearer instead of blurring them as it usually did. Instead the world had taken a darker turn and the sadness within him erupted after its caged prison shattered from the pressure held inside.

He promised himself he wouldn't go for another after him. He promised that he wouldn't fall for anyone else. Yet fate had chosen a different path and had led him back into betrayal and heartbreak all over again. This time he wasn't prepared for the fall. He didn't mean for it to happen and he crashed and burned as he hit the floor, exploding into flames that grew wild and out of control. All because of a mistake.

Andy never left his thoughts and he knew that it had gone too far. He had known it for a while. Yet he never did anything about it. He let himself fall into loves clutch again and he wasn't going to escape this path. Andy had Juliet and that was where the story ended. He wasn't in the equation at all. He was just a side piece, an extra. No one important. Nobody needed him, he just helped everyone else get back on track as he went down a dark path. Nobody to care for him besides himself.

Afterall, everyone who loved him either died or left...

Andy left him though and that was the thought that had torn up this man. He thought he was saving him but instead he let the dragon catch him. Leaving him with a broken heart and a lost mind. It had happened again and he willingly let it run its course this time. He let him go and he was feeling the effects of his choice full force. Ashley once again lost another person close to him and he couldn't handle the facts.

Unknown to Ashley, a figure stood near him, watching him break down onto the dry ground. He watched anxiously at Ashley's large figure, confused thoughts and memories returning. The figure, dressed in black, walked towards his dark form. Slowly. Stopping a meter away from Ashley.

"Go away!" Ashley shouted, not looking up.

"No, Ashley. Not this time." The dark figure spoke, his voice strong yet friendly.

Ashley's head snapped up to look at the stranger, his eyes red and tears still leaking down his cheeks. Recognition shone in his eyes as he took in the large person standing above him.

"W-what?!" Ashley mumbled, his body shaking as he cried.

"Everything's fine Ashley. Everythings gonna be fine." He smiled, helping Ashley up.

"Everythings going to be okay..." He told Ashley as they made their way down the street, Ashley still crying his heart out as the large person held him close.

Hi guys, what do you think of this chapter? Sorry it sucks, I am not really good at writing third person but I didn't want to do it in Ashley's POV so I was stuck.

What do you think of the person helping Ash? Who do you think it is?
