Everyone Deserves A Happy Ending **In Editing**

Chapter 6

*The next day*

I woke up on the bench. My hair was still a little wet and I was freezing. It was cold out this morning. I got up off the bench and reached under to find nothing....I looked under. My bag was gone. Damnit. That had my phone, iPod, clothes and still about $315 in it. Shit. I got up and looked around. The sun hadn't even fully risen yet. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"Looking for this?"

I whirled around and saw Ashley standing against a tree, holding my bag. I rolled my eyes and thought I must look like a sight.

"Yes, actually I'm looking for my bag. You haven't seen it anywhere, have you?"

"No. This is my bag, so I don't know what you're talking about."

I smiled and walked towards him.

I stopped about 2 or 3 feet away from him and he said "About the other night when I was drunk and tried to....uhm...." He was silent for a second and my thoughts drifted to the other night. "Well, I'm really sorry about that. You know I would never try anything to hurt you. I really didn't mean it."

"Its ok...."

"So...Why did you run off? Andy won't tell us but we know it has something to do between you two."

"He wanted to ground me for getting caught by the police for a 5th time for underage drinking and I said he couldn't do that because he wasn't my guardian and....Then I said something about leaving and he said go ahead, see if I care, so I left..."

"Oh...Well, you know everyone is worried sick about you, and he seems a little distant since you left. He keeps forgetting the lyrics to our songs and he forgets what time our sound checks are. He doesn't hear when one of us calls for him...He's worried Rie."

I sighed and thought for a moment, then said "Then why did he say 'Leave, see if I care'???"

"I don't know Rie. He was mad at you. He just wanted to keep you safe. He is worried sick though Rie. Please, just come back."

"Fine...But give me my bag first."

"Whaa??? This is my bag, I told you I don't know where your bag is."

I cocked an eyebrow. "Okay...Fine, catch me though." Then he took off running and I took off chasing him. I chased him for about 5 minutes and he finally stopped. I was breathing heavily. I looked around, we were somewhere were I didn't recognize. I looked at him. He put my bag down and walked towards me. I looked at him and cocked my eyebrow again. He snaked his arms around my waist and looked me in the eyes. His eyes melted me. He leaned down and his warm lips met mine. His tongue entered my mouth after a minute and swirled around. He pressed lightly into my sides and I moaned. He smiled into the kiss then....His phone rang. He answered it.

"Why...I'm out looking for her while you're sitting on your ass doing nothing. At least I care."

I could hear Andy's voice through the phone, then my phone rang. It was Jinxx. I answered it.

"Hey, you finally answered. Were are you?"

"Uhm..." I looked at Ashley. He nodded and I knew he meant to tell Jinxx were I was. "I'm standing next to Ashley."

"WHAT?!?! He found you!!!"

"Noo. I'm standing next to another random guy named Ashley who plays in another band called Black Veil Brides with four other guys named Jake, Andy, Jinxx and CC...."

"You're just as sarcastic as Andy...Now both of you guys need to get home, we have to leave...Like now, we are almost 2 days behind schedule."

"I don't know...I'm still kind of mad at Andy..."

I heard a sigh and then some rustling, then Andy's deep, still incredibly sexy, voice. "Rie, please come home. I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said, but I was serious about grounding you. Just come home now please and I won't ground you....I'll give you another chance, but next time please listen to me. I a worried about you, so are the rest of the guys. We are off schedule because of you. We stayed behind to look for you. Ashley found you. Please come home."

I listened to his words. What he said was kind of a blur, but what I kept hearing was home...I heard home 3 times. I didn't consider the tour bus a home. I considered it a temporary living place. Until I got an apartment or something. His words were kind of frantic. Definitely apologetic. He did mean what he said. I decided to go back.

"Ok...I'll come back." I heard cheering in the back ground and figured I was on speaker...I rolled my eyes and said "Ok...See you guys soon." I hung up and turned to Ashley who had snaked his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. He was kissing my neck gently, hitting the right spots. I had to hold back some moans.

"Do you know how incredibly distracting that was. What if I had moaned, then the guys would have heard me. I was on speaker Ashley."

"I know....Thats why I did it." He smirked evilly but gave me a puppy dog look. I couldn't resist that look. I smiled, giving in. He picked me up and ran to his car with me. He put me in the passenger side and ran around. He started the car and drove 15 minutes to the tour bus. As soon as I walked up the steps, I was bombarded with hugs and millions of questions from the guys....It was good to be back. Maybe I should call this place home.
