Andley: I Love Your More Than I Can Ever Scream

Chapter One: It's All Just Smoke And Mirrors

*Ashley's POV*

 

"Ashelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!" I turned around just quick enough to see Andy throwing himself at me and knocking me onto the floor, landing so he was on top of me.
"Hey..." I raised an eyebrow at him as he giggled and climbed off of me. He sat beside me and patted the floor next to him until I sat up. "Someone's hyper." I laughed, giving him a cheeky wink. 
"Yeah!! It's sooooo great to be back on tour! We KILLED it tonight!" He jumped back up and ran over to CC, the pair of them jumping about like lunatics. I just laughed, stood up and went over to see Jinxx and Jake. 
"Right, which one of you gave them two coffee, or energy drunk, or both?" They just laughed, shrugging at me. I had to admit, it was great to be back on tour, doing what we do best. CC and Andy seemed to have calmed down, so I went over and sat on the sofa next to Andy. He looked at me, a great, big grin spread across his face and his crystal blue eyes shining with pure happiness. He looked so adorable like this. Wait, what?! What am I thinking? I shook the thoughts from my head and Andy looked at me funny. It was kinda...cute? Stop it! I mentally scolded myself.
"So...?" I looked up and realized Andy had been talking to me.
"Huh?" 
"Never mind." He rolled his eyes at me and laughed. "Someone's still stuck in Ash-land."
"Is it me?!" Called CC, causing us all to crack up. Trust him! 
"Haha! Well, I'm gunna go get some rest, bit exhausted from the show." 
"Awww... Come on! Stay up!!!" CC pleaded, and Andy gave me the puppy eyes. Oh God, those puppy eyes, so hard to resist. Yet somehow I managed to. I shook my head and headed towards the bunks, Andy and CC making whimpering noises behind me, causing me to chuckle to myself.
I go into the bunk area and quickly stripped down to my boxers then climbed into bed, the one opposite Andy's. Why was that something that I cared about... Ever since him and Juliet had broken up, something had just felt...different...between us. I couldn't stop thinking about him, I knew I was acting weird around him as well, he probably guessed something was up. But what was bothering me, I had no clue. All I knew was I couldn't stop thinking about Andy.
It wasn't as if I liked him, he was just a mate, nothing more. We'd been best friends for years, and I'd known him and been in the band with him the longest, so we were closer. But that didn't mean I had feelings for him, did it? No, of course not! I was a straight guy, the man-whore Ashley Purdy, and Andy was my friend, just my friend. So why did my heart skip a beat when he called my name, why did I blush when he made dirty jokes around me, why did I always get lost in his eyes, his smile, the sound of his voice...
No! I refused to believe I was not only gay, but in love with Andy! It just wasn't true. Plain and simple. Maybe it was just the hype of the start of a new tour that was getting to me. Yes, that was it. With my mind finally at rest, I closed my eyes and started to fall sleep. Just as I was drifting away, I heard the door open. I peeked one eye open and saw Andy, undressing. I just ignored him, and carried on trying to sleep, but I couldn't help peeking just a little at him. That was OK, right? I didn't know anymore...
