Save Me (Drew Chadwick Fanfic)

Chapter 7

Ashley's POV

I'm leaving today to go on tour with the guys and I'm actually really nervous. I've opened up a little bit more with Drew, and even with Wesley and Keaton. Drew and I have become kind of close actually. We're not dating or anything but we act like we are. Without all the kissing. We will cuddle while watching movies and sometimes he'll take me on lunch dates. It's kind of cute.

Drew told me he would pick me up and we would head over to the bus and get settled in. I hear his car horn beep and I walk out with all my stuff. He has to come over and help me I have so much. Well sorry but I am a girl.

"Nice shirt." Drew says as we get into his car. I look down at my outfit. I'm wearing a Blink 182 t-shirt with jeans and black spiked boots. I straightened my hair too.

"Thanks." I say and spend the rest of the car in silence. It wasn't until 5 minutes away from the bus that we spoke again. "So, where are we playing first?" I ask him.

"Umm. We're going to play a few shows in Cali and then go to the East Coast." He tells me. I just nod my head and soon we pull up to the tour bus.

The bus is huge! We each have our own room, though they aren't that big; it's pretty big knowing that it is a bus! Woah! There is a game room too! This place is like heaven! I knock on Drew's door and he tells me it's okay to come in.

"Hey it's you." He says with a smile. I smile back and sit next to him on his bed. "What's up?"

"Hey. Just wanted to say hi. This bus is huge!" I tell him and lay back on the bed. He laughs and lays back with me. We turn our heads so we are facing each other.

"I know. It's crazy!" He says and I sigh. I didn't mean for it to be so loud but it was. "Something wrong?" He asks me.

"Just thinking." I tell him.

"About what?"

"Why am I doing this Drew? Why am I on this bus opening up for you guys?" I ask him.

"Because we want you here. Because your music moved me. Because your lyrics will move others." He tells me.

"You really think so?" I ask him.

"I know so." He says and kisses my forehead. "Now can I ask you a question?" I nod my head and he continues. "Ashley, what are we? Are we a couple? I mean we hang out almost everyday and I like you a lot." He tells me. I feel like butterflies just did flips in my stomach. I don't know what to say.

"I don't know what we are." I tell him.

"Well if I asked you to be my girlfriend would you say yes?" He asks me. I turn to face the ceiling and slowly shake my head no. From the corner of my eye I can see him frown. I see him turn his head to the ceiling as well. "I won't ask then." He tells me. I can hear the disappointment in his voice. I feel awful but I'm not ready for a relationship.

"Drew-" I start to say but he cuts me off.

"Ashley it's okay I get it. It's too soon. I shouldn't have brought it up." He explains to me. "I just thought that-" I cut him off by smashing my lips to his. I don't know why I did this, or what possessed me too. He kissed me back and I pulled away.

"I do like you Drew. I'm just not ready to be in a relationship. It wouldn't be fair to either of us." I tell him. He seems surprised and confused at the same time.

"What do you mean it wouldn't be fair for either of us?" He asks me. Shit. Did I just say that out loud.

"Forget I said that." I say a little nervous. "I'm going to go ask Tom about my song list for the show tonight." I say quick and rush out of the room.
