1) EVERYONE MUST GO SEE AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

2) I don't know if I wan't to continue this story... Should I or not?

Chapter Twenty Five - I Hate These Things

I was sat with Ashley in his bunk. It was still a little awkward but I guess it would be fine over time. At least I hoped it would. 

I was hugged into Ashley and I had to admit it felt wrong; it was like I shouldn't be there. It was the total gut instinct that I was trying to ignore... Everything regarding Ashley didn't feel right and I hated it. I wanted it to be like it was a few days ago, but right now it didn't feel like it would. I think Ashley had realised too...

"Are you alright?" I snapped out of my thoughts to see Ashley's chocolate eyes looking at me with concern.

"Not really..." I sighed. He was still looking at me, concerned.

"What's wrong?" I couldn't look him in the eyes. I knew he'd realise what was wrong and then he'd feel bad. I'd much rather feel awful than have him feel this way. "Wait, I think I know why..." He got up and jumped out of his bunk and walked downstairs. Upon hearing the door open and shut, I decided he had gone out.

Jinxx's P.O.V

I had decided it would be best to follow Ashley and see if he was alright. He usually never left the bus unless it was over something really important or bad. I could see him ahead of me, just stood there. When I caught up to him, he was just stood there. When he looked at me it was just like he was looking through me. I had to admit I was worried about him, he was basically my brother...

"Jinxx?" He sounded weak and a little depressed. I nodded at him to continue. "It's never going to be the same is it?" I knew exactly what he was refering to; Alex.

"You know what Ash? It probably wont..." He looked saddened. "But that's because this recent experience will have taught you not to do things that you know you'll regret. You'll have or at least should have learned something about treating people right..."

"Thanks Jinxx..." He smiled and started walking back towards the bus. I followed him.

It was a longer walk than I had thought since it took about half an hour to get back. Maybe the time it took was more down to the fact that Ashley was a REALLY slow walker when he was tired.

We finally got back to the bus and stepped on. Only one person was awake; Alex. I decided it was best to leave them alone and went upstairs to sleep.

Ashley's P.O.V

"Ashes... Are you alright?" Alex was genuinely concerned, but I'm not surprised. I'd given her enough reason to be worried ever time I left the bus.

"I am now. I guess I just needed to clear my head a little." She weakly smiled. I guess she'd realised it wouldn't be the same as it used to be. "Come here..." I pulled her into a hug and she hugged back.

"I want it to be normal again..." Alex's voice was muffled by my shirt and the fact that she was crying but I could still tell what she was saying.

"I know, me too..." I slowly rocked her back and forth a little. "But it will, we'll just have to give it time."

I decided it was about time we went upstairs since it was 2:57am. I picked up Alex and carried her upstairs, putting her in her bunk. As I went to turn around and go to mine, Alex grabbed my hand and pulled me back.

 "Stay here?" I looked into her eyes and nodded, climbing into her bunk beside her. "Thanks Ashes."

Pretty much as soon my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.

Andy's P.O.V

I woke up and it was only 9am. There was knocking on the door so I decided to go down and get it. I saw that Jake was already stood there talking to whoever it was. I recognised the two voices straight away; my parents were here.

"ANDY!" My mom really needed to learn to use her 'inside voice' more often.

"Hi mom." I gave her a hug. "Hi dad." I hugged him too.

"So, where's this girlfriend of yours?" Trust my mom to bring that up before even caring how her own son was.

"Urm I think she's still asleep." Just as I said that, a very tired version of Alex came downstairs and gave me a hug, like most mornings.

"Hi Mr and Mrs Biersack." Alex shook hands with my parents and continued to the fridge for food.

"Well your girlfriend seems lovely." I glared at my dad and I saw Alex do the same.

"No, I'm not his girlfriend." She laughed weakly. "I'm CC's daughter, I'm dating Ashley not Andy."

"Oh, sorry." My dad chuckled a little as he sat down, followed by my mom.

Soon enough, Stacey walked downstairs and began to get asked loads of questions by my parents. Surprisingly, she didn't seem that bothered by it all. Most other people I had dated were annoyed by it but she seemed calm.

Suddenly, Ashley came downstairs and decided it would be funny to tackle me to the ground. I have to admit it was but my parents didn't seem too impressed. He apologised to them and then walked over to Alex who was still by the fridge. Then again, when wasn't she.

"So Andy?" I looked over to my mom. "When's the next concert?"

"It's tomorrow night." She just smiled and nodded.

"Wait..." I looked over to Alex. "Where's Jake gone?" I looked around and sure enough, Jake was gone.

"Hmm... I guess he just went to get something...

Jake's P.O.V

I had gone out for a walk to clear my head over me and Ella breaking up (Author's note: No they haven't in reality). I wasn't really looking where I was going and I ended up walking into someone, causing them to drop the coffee they must have just bought.

"I'm so sorry." I felt like an idiot, even more so when I saw her face. "I'm Jake." I outstretched my hand and she shook it happily.

"I'm Candi." She smiled at me and pushed her hair back out of my face.

"Tell you what, I'll buy you another drink since I just made you drop yours." Her smile quickly faded and she looked down.

"Oh no. I couldn't let you do that."

"Well, I'm going to so I don't feel like even more of a douche than I already do." She laughed and we walked along to Starbucks together.

We went in and she ordered her drink. I handed over the money and we sat down beside the window. I soon found out she was the same age as me, into the same things as me, and she wasn't a Black Veil Brides 'fangirl'.

"Jake?" I looked up and nodded. "Do you know a girl called Alex?"

"It depends which Alex you mean. I do know one but it's unlikely you mean the one I know..." She looked at me weirdly.

"I recently heard she was Christian Coma's daughter..." My eyes widened.

"Yes, I do know her. How do you know Alex?" Her smile faded and she looked to the floor.

"Well, I used to go to school with her and if I were you, I wouldn't trust her." I gave her a questioning look. "Let's just say, she's not always as loyal a friend as she might seem..."
