Chapter Twenty Four - Can Someone Forgive?

I saw Ashley standing there. I knew what he wanted; forgiveness... But it was forgiveness he wasn't going to get. I didn't think I ever could. He'd fucked everything up... Somehow I wished my dad hadn't said anything, then it'd all be fine... But i guess life didn't want it to go right and be fine.

"Alex..." He tried to look me in the eyes but I avoided them. "Please. I can't stress how sorry I actually am. I wish you could forgive me but I understand if you can't... I know I'm in the wrong, but it's not the same without you... It's like there's an emptyness in my heart. I don't know what I'll do without you! Please, give me another chance?" I sighed. He looked like he genuinely meant it.

"I'm sorry Ashley. I can't... I mean, I'll come back to the bus... But that's all... But it's not for you. It's for the rest of the guys." I grabbed my bag and we walked down to the lobby.

We all silently walked to the bus. I was the last one on so I shut and locked the door. Straight away it began to move. Everyone was looking at me so I ran upstairs and put my bag down before coming back and sitting on Jinxx's lap. 

"Thanks Jinxx." I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"It's fine." He hugged me and I just stayed there. It was nice, but in a brotherly way. But it was nothing like one of Ashley's hugs... Being mad at him was going to kill me.

Stacey's P.O.V

I was worried about Alex, I knew she would never be completely mad at Ashley. It would tear her apart. She had a history with things like this... She would try her best to be mad at those who screwed her over but pressure always gets to her. She will end up forgiving him, no matter how hard she tries not to... She's just one of those people.

The guys soon got up to get ready and we were left downstairs. She stayed quiet until CC came downstairs and lifted her up. He was being all weird, like he usually was...

"Come on you! You're coming with us tonight!" He picked her up and carried her halfway up the stairs. "You too." He looked at me before I followed him. 

I sat infront of Andy as he did my warpaint. It was like what Jinxx's used to be. I could see that CC had done Alex's so she looked like him. I knew what was happening tonight so I knew I could just go in normal clothes... I decided to wear my Black Stone Cherry t-shirt and black skinny jeans. Alex, however, had to wear her leather jacket, black skinnies and Marilyn Manson boots, plus the mohawk had to be up. She was probably going to hate us all afterwards but we didn't even care. It was all for a good cause.

We got to the venue and me and Alex waited by the side backstage. They went on straight away... I wasn't paying attention to which songs they were playing... I was too bothered about what was about to happen. Alex seemed bored, but that was just because she was overthinking.

Ashley's P.O.V

I had to try so hard to keep my concentration. I was too nervous for what was about to happen. Once we finished playing our set, CC went off stage and dragged Alex on. Andy pushed me towards the mic while Jake, Jinxx and Stacey held Alex there.

"Dear fans," I knew my voice would no doubt crack but I kept going. "I have a confession to make... I'm currently holding the title of worlds biggest prick. But it's taught me not to screw people over again. This time, it's crushed me. All the other times that I've done what I did, I felt nothing; I had no regrets about it... But this time, it's destroyed me. I've lost the best thing that's ever happened to me, and you guys need to realize, you can be completely happy, but you can lose it as easily as you got it. Don't fuck up like I did!" 

I passed the mic back to Andy just in time to see Alex running at me. It was a good job I had put my bass down because she jumped up at me, wrapping her arms around me. 

"Ashes..." I didn't expect her to say anything, but it still was a whisper. "That took serious guts... I forgive you, as long as you promise one thing.." I nodded at her so she'd continue. "You have to promise not to do it again, and promise we can wait a while before getting re-engaged..." 

"That's completely fine with me..." We were right in the middle of the stage, just lost in each other's eyes. Then we heard the crowd chanting thanks to the guys.

"KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS!" It went on for a while until we gave in to the *slightly annoying* crowd. 

Andy's P.O.V

We were walking back to the bus after leaving the venue. Everyone seemed pretty happy that peace had been restored... Well, everyone except CC... I pulled him behind the group. He was never normally like this.

"What's up Chuppy?" He just sighed and looked to his feet.

"I just don't trust him with my daughter anymore." I laughed a little. 

"I'm not surprised... We all know what he's like. But maybe you should cut him some slack. I think the past few days have gave him a bit of a reality check." He looked up and smiled. I think he was a little relieved.

"Thanks Andy." 

"It's fine Chuppy."

We ran the rest of the way to the bus. Stacey was giving me a questioning look. I sent her the 'I'll tell you later' look as I sat down beside Jake. He had the Xbox controller in his hands and was currently  being beaten by Alex. It always made me laugh when she beat people because she didn't really play it. I could see Stacey asking Jinxx something and they kept looking over to me.  

We all soon went up to our bunks. Stacey and I lay together and we were just talking for a while. It was just the usual talk when I heard my phone buzz and I lifted it off the little shelf.

"So Andy, I heard you got yourself a girlfriend?" - Mom

"Yeah I did :)" - Me

"When do we get to meet the girl?" - Mom 

I knew she'd ask something like that...

"When you come out to our show in a few weeks time :)" - Me

"Alright then :) In the mean time, be careful on stage!" - Mom
