Save Me (Drew Chadwick Fanfic)

Chapter 25

Ashley's POV

Today was the day of love. It was the day couples went out to eat and the day they expressed their love for each other. It was the night of my last concert on tour. It was also... my birthday. My actual birthday when I turn 20 years old. It's weird. I'm no longer a teenager. 20. Holy. Fucking. Shit. I'm 20 years old.

I don't have any plans for today. I have the last show at 7:30 and then I spend the night at a hotel and make my way back to California tomorrow morning. I haven't really talked to the guys sine the party. Occasionally  I would send a text to Wesley or Keaton but I haven't talked to him since that night. And I think I'm starting to move on. Don't get me wrong, I still love him. As I think I always will, but I've realized I have more to life than loving one guy who obviously didn't love me the same way back.

So let me update you on what you might have missed since my new appearance. Everyone loves my new look, and I'm still in awe about it. Apparently Lauren and Tara are really hitting it off with Keaton and Wesley. They try not to talk about it too much, thinking it brings back thoughts of Drew, which it does, but I tell them not to worry about it. I'm moving on. Slowly but surely.

Alex actually asked me out tonight. After the show he wants to take me out to dinner to celebrate the end of tour. I said yes of course. He's a super sweet guy and he's been helping me move on from Drew. Now I don't know where it may lead, but as of right now we are still just friends. I don't want to rush into anything, and I don't think it's fair for me to start dating him either until I'm 100% over Drew.

I was just getting ready backstage when I heard a knock on my door. It was Amanda and she was holding a blue box in her hand. No doubt a present. I rolled my eyes and continued fixing my lipstick. "I thought I told you no presents?" I asked as I set the ruby red lipstick on the counter.

"It's not from me. It came for you today." She told me.

"A fan?" I questioned? Most fan mail went into a bag for me to look at later on the tour bus in between cities. Why one was super important for me to open now was beyond me.

"Not exactly." She set the box on the table and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. 

I looked at the tag off the box and read the names that this gift came from.

'You're going to kill it tonight. See you soon and happy birthday.

Love, Wesley, Keaton, and Drew.

Drew.

I unwrapped the box and lifted the lid off to reveal a diamond infinity necklace (Will be in her concert outfit later in the story). I unclasped it and put it around my neck. I was playing with the infinity sign hanging around my neck when Jake walked in and told me it was almost time to start the show.

I didn't watch Alex perform. I just waited about an hour before I walked back stage and waited for him to come off and for the crew to set up my stuff. I was excited and nervous and worried and confused and my mind was honestly all over the place.

My set list for the night was pretty awesome though. I have to admit that. It consisted of:
