Who Can Save Me Now? (Andley)

Chapter 6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was gone for six days in Ohio. It was fun but I felt like I was neglecting you because I didn't have any Internet! Could you ever forgive me?? But one thing I thought was super ironic was that AshEatsRainbows is team Ashley but their profile picture is Andy and xdisasterologyx_ is team Andy but their profile picture is Ashley. I just kinda laughed at that for a minute and figured that I would share that because I can.------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashley POV

I stood at the doors of Los Angeles High, dreading what lay inside. People would notice that I was wearing a black 'Hustler' jacket and not the usual t-shirt and clear wrists. I haven't cut since seventh grade. When I was bullied daily. I shuddered at the dreadful memories. I shut away all my thoughts and pushed through the doors. Everyone stopped and stared as I walked through the doors. Some started whispering and pointing. I kept my head down and silently opened my locker. Just I had taken my things out, my locker was slammed shut. I mentally sighed, knowing who it was.

"I heard about your little 'play date' with the fag." Derek said, smirking knowingly.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I said preteding to be oblivious to his accusation.

"Don't play dumb Purdy. I have the picture to prove it." He replied, getting frustrated. My heart stopped. Who would've gotten a picture of that?

"See for yourself...... I always knew you were a faggot." Derek spat at me, shoving the phone in my face. There it was. Me with my lips smashed against Andy's. I felt my blood run cold as I continued to stare at the picture.

"Uh....I......Um...." I managed to get out before a hard fist collided with my jaw.

"I don't play football with gays." I stayed on the ground. Afraid of what would happen if I tried to get up again. I heard Derek walk away so I sat up. There was suddenly someone at my side, asking if I was okay.

"Ashley? Ashley? Answer me dammit!" I recognized his deep voice amost instantly. Andy.

"Someone got  a picture...... of us...." I mumbled.

"You really need to work on the whole mumbling thing." Andy chuckled. A small grin reached my face.

"Whatever." I mumbled and wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my head into his shoulder.

"Just take me home." I whispered, my voice slightly cracking.

"Okay." Andy said gently before looping one arm under my legs and wrapped the other around my back and picked me up bridal style. Turning around, he walked swiftly towards the doors. 

"FAGGOTS" Someone yelled. Andy suddenly stopped and turned towards whoever yelled.

"Do you still want a dick tomorrow?" He growled.

"y-yea."

"Then shut-up." Andy said before continuing down the hallway. I buried my face further into his shoulder trying to escape this world. He smelled of  cigarettes and cologne. It was intoxicating.  No one talked as Andy walked past them. I heard the doors open and Andy's boots clicking against the pavement. I was soon gently set down into the seat of a car. I suddenly felt cold when Andy's arms slid out from under me. He shut the door and walked around the car to the driver's side.

Time Lapse: At Andy's

Andy POV

We came to a stop in my driveway. I turned the car off and got out, walking over to the passenger side door, I opened it and lifted Ashley back up and headed towards my front door. Luckily, both my parents worked, so I wouldn't get pounded with questions of why I was home early. I walked upstairs and set Ashley on my bed. He removed his shoes and lied down. I gathered up my covers and draped them over his body. Just as I turned around to walk out of the room, Ashley grabbed my hand. I turned my head back toward him.

"Stay. Please." He whispered, Looking up at me with pleading eyes. I sighed and slid into the bed next to him. He moved over slightly so we were both fully on the bed.

"Thank you." He mumbled. I softly dragged my fingers across his jawline before kissing his forehead and whispering, "You're welcome." In response. His cheeks started to turn pink and a small smile graced his perfect face. My hand traveled down his arm and landed on his waist. I slid closer to his warm body so I could wrap my arm all the way around his torso. I then pulled him into my chest, an action he hapily obliged to, moving so our two bodies had no space between them. 

"I love you, Andy." I heard him mumble almost incoherently. I smiled and kissed the top of his head. I let my lips rest on his hair.

"I love you too Ashley." I whispered back and moved my head so the underside of my chin was resting on his head before falling into a light slumber.
