Mute [Andley]

Chapter Three: Untold Secrets

"Mr. Biersack!" The teacher shouted, Andy's head quickly shot up, his eyes closing from the sudden opening.
"Come on Andy, it's period two, take me there!" Ashley announced. The teacher motioned Andy to get up, of which he agreed. They walked towards the chalk bored, Andy's fear rising.
"You are not aloud to leave until you explain to me the reason behind you sleeping in my class," The new teacher told Andy, Ashley gulped as he stepped forward explaining Andy's problem to him. The teacher listened to his explanation, nodding his head at points. He shortly let them leave, they rushed to their next class, Science.
"Close one Andy, if I wasn't there you would've been stuck there a whole lot longer," Ashley glanced at the young boy beside him, smiling to himself as he remembered the single word spoken by him. Andy felt Ashley's eyes on him as he shuffled uncomfortably under his gaze, "Andy, this may be weird but, do you want to ditch today?" Ashley continued awkwardly, Andy nodded, turning to the school exit they were passing. He opened the door waiting for his companion to follow. As they walked down the empty street Ashley started mumbling questions to himself.
"Ashley?" Andy whispered, Ashley looked at him happily, "Can we talk?"
"Yes Andy, We can talk," Ashley smiled, "Your voice is amazing to be honest." Andy thanked him, as he started to see his house he began to run towards it.
Sitting on his bed, Andy started to speak.
"I want to talk Ashley, but it won't let me, he won't let me," Andy frowned.
"Who's 'he'?" Ashley asked.
"'He' is Alex, he is my ex, he did things to me which made me fall into a deep depression, that's why I don't talk anymore." Andy gulped, realising how much he is opening up to this young boy. He had never physically felt the need to open up to anybody before, so why now? Andy felt as if Ashley was trustworthy, he felt a strange sense of love towards Ashley, unlike any he had felt before.
"Andy, tell me what he did, please," Ashley spoke softly, careful not to scare Andy.
"He just hit me a lot, said some stuff. Just thing, you know Ashley, I like you, so much, I just want to have fun with you," Andy trailed on, "Can you sing?"
"Yes Andy, bug just a little, I'm better at bass," Andy smiled at his reply, his thoughts played out a perfect future to him, where they were in a band together.
The others were all onstage, all that was left were Andy and Ashley. Ashley looked at the tall blue eyed boy, smiling as he said three words.
"I love you," The words melted off his lips, it was possibly the truest thing he had ever said.
"I love you too," Andy replied before they both ran on stage. As the instruments started playing and Andy started singing, the crowd grew louder and louder. Screaming three words 'Black Veil Brides' The atmosphere was amazing, and Andy couldn't wait for the next show in his home town of Cincinnati, Ohio.
"Andy?" Ashley asked, waving a hand infront of Andy's face. He quickly returned to reality, smiling as he realised what Ashley had said to him in his daydream, "What were you thinking about?"
"I want to start a band," he thought for a second before adding, "I want to sing in it!" Ashley smiled, Andy was coming out of his shell. Andy wanted to sing for a crowd, without Ashley he would've never spoke a word, but now be wants to sing for a band.
"Well then, bub, let me hear you sing" Ashley smiled. Andy looked at him dead in the eye, contemplating whether or not to sing for Ashley. Choosing to sing he took a deep class in, thinking of lyrics.
"We are breathing, while you're sleeping. Go, now leave us alone!" He song, trying to make up the lyrics as he went along. Coming to the conclusion that he couldn't finish the song, he gazed at the floor.
"What song was that?" Ashley asked confused.
"I don't know, I just made it up," Andy admitted. Ashley clapped, informing Andy that it was already one of his favourite songs and he hadn't even heard or made all of it.
"I write songs Ashley," Andy smirked.
"Your amazing Andy, truely amazing!" Ashley announced, "I love you bub!"
Andy stared at Ashley in shock, did he really just say that? The longer he thought the more real it felt.
"I love you too Ashley," Andy whispered.
Slowly their faces came closer, and then they finally.
"Hi!" Ashley laughed, kissing his nose, "I love you!" Ashley said before placing his lips on Andy's, shortly they pulled away.
"I love you too!"
