Desirous (Sequel to Surviving Him)

Just Stay

Morgan's P.O.V

I stuffed my suitcase with random clothes, not really caring about organization. I was going to unpack them anyway so what was the point?

"Here, take this." Mom said and handed me a sweater.

"What for?"

"I heard it's cold up in New York. Want my little baby to be safe and warm, right?" She said, a tight lipped smile on her face. I could see tears starting form in her eyes but she held them back and went back to helping me pack.

Kayla was going to pick me up from the airport then we were heading out to the studio where we would be taking a shuttle bus to Hopkinton, New York. That's where the competition was being held and we'd be staying there the three weeks before. During that time we were going to be training religiously by the words of Priscilla.

My phone buzzed and I looked down to see it was a text from Ashley, telling me to... open the door? I frowned in confusion before walking towards the front door and opening it to see Ashley standing there.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.

I'd already said good byes through text to them and seeing as I hadn't gotten a reply, I thought it didn't matter that I was leaving. It was only because of Samm that we'd seen each other and now that she was on Honeymoon, it was safe for me to go back.

"You can't leave." Ashley stated and stepped into the guest house.

"What? Why can't I leave?" I asked in bewilderment.

"I can't tell you that," He said and I could see the pleading in his eyes. "You can't leave, Morgan."

"Ashley, you can visit me." I laughed, patting his shoulder.

We've grown close since when we first met. I remember not being able to be in the same room as him in the beginning and now look at us. I considered him a best friend.

"Don't go." He pleaded and grabbed my hand.

I eyed him carefully, "Ashley, what's wrong?"

"I can't tell you... But you have to believe me when I ask for you to stay. I know that you have school back in New York but you have--" He cut off abruptly and looked down at his feet.

"What?"

"You have somebody here who needs you to stay. For them."

I stared up at Ashley's face, waiting for him to break out into laughter and tell me this was a joke. Who could possibly need me to stay here? Penny was going to visit me in a couple of months and I've already said bye to dad. Who else did I miss?

"Who's them?"

"Just stay. Give them a chance." He continued to beg, ignoring my questions.

"If they really wanted me to stay, Ash, they would've came here themselves. They wouldn't have sent you." I said softly.

He looked like he was about to object but mom cut him off, wobbling into the room with my suitcases. I helped her and loaded them into Greg's limo, which he had nicely loaned to me for the day. Ashley didn't say anything and stood beside mom as I got in. At the last second, I turned around and hugged him tightly.

"I've given him chances, Ashley. I can't afford to keep doing it." I whispered into his ear before fleeing back into the limo.

The last thing I saw before leaving LA was Ashley's disappointed face. Who was he disappointed in more? Me for leaving or Andy for not trying?

I casted the thought away.

Like I had said to Juliet, there was no chance of us getting back together.

.....

I was one of the first on the plane and sat in the window seat. I toyed with my phone for a moment, deciding whether or not to send Andy a good bye text. I sent everyone but him one and I was starting to feel guilty. He had saved me and he stuck beside me when I needed him the most, and what'd he done yesterday?

I had to.

On accident I pushed the dial button instead of text and my eyes widened. What?! No! I kept pushed the deny button but it went through and soon enough it was ringing. I can't just ignore him. Maybe I could pretend it's a butt call?

"Sorry I can't get the phone, just leave a message and I'll call you back." Andy's rough voice message said and I decided that a text message would put what I wanted to say to shame.

At the beep, I cleared my voice.

"Hey Andy, it's me. I just wanted to call and say thanks for helping me when I needed you the most. It was real sweet of you and..." I hesitated and looked out the window. "Juliet's really lucky to be dating you. You two look real good together. I'm sorry."

I quickly hung up and stared at the seat before me. What was the "I'm sorry" thing? God Morgan, you can be so fucking stupid. I should've just left it at the Juliet part. But... I was sorry. I was sorry that I got drunk and that I slept with somebody and I'm sorry that things couldn't work out between us.

Or, what if he took the "I'm sorry" a different way? Like, "Oh I'm sorry you're dating Juliet".

I groaned and held my head. I should just turn my phone off for a while.

Sorry for the long wait and all you get is this crappy chapter :/ I saw Andy in person and holy freaking cow, he looks amazing with brown hair and you guys should've seen what he was doing with his tongue.... and Ashley was just as perverted if not more like people say.
