Ashley sat in his bunk again, like he did for hours every day, thinking about what was to come of him. He knew that one day he would have to open up and tell the band; once that was done he would have to leave, forever.
Andy stood outside the bunk room contemplating whether or not to open the door and find Ashley, his dearest friend. He knew Ashley had to have his 'private time' but Andy wanted to find out what was on his mind constantly. He went to open the door, as he did the door swung open reveling Ashley.
"Hi Andy," Ashley said slowly looking for an emotion in Andy's face. Andy's mouth slowly curved, finally turning into the biggest smile Ashley had ever seen.
"Ashley!" Andy exclaimed, "Ash, we-we need to talk." Andy suddenly got more serious. Leaving Ashley anxious about the future chat.
"Okay, will it be with all the band?" Ashley asked, shaking. Andy grabbed Ashley's shoulders, looking into his eyes.
"Yes Ash, the whole band. Think of it as a band meeting!" Andy suggested, trying to make Ashley think more positively. Ashley just nodded and started to head out.
"We love you Ashley!" Andy called as Ashley grabbed the door handle.
"I love you guys too," Ashley replied, "more then you think" he whispered.
Andy smiled and headed to the living section, where Jake, Jinxx and CC were sitting watching Batman.
"Are you guys serious? Batman, without me?" Andy asked pausing the movie, "Anyway, we need a band meeting tonight, when Ashley gets back."
"Yeah, we do, he's been acting strange," Jinxx agreed as the others nodded.
"Agreed then." Andy smiled sitting down to was Batman.
Ashley walked back from the shop he had visited with two bags of groceries. He stopped as he grabbed the door handle, whispering to himself.
"I need to tell them; be strong Ashley."
