We'll Brave this Storm (An Ashley Purdy love story)

Chapter 14

ASHLEY'SPOV

Andy went out for a cigarette while the rest of us say on the couch watching some lame television show I'd never heard of.  It was pretty much our nightly ritual while stuck in a bus for months on end. I enjoyed the guys' company most of the time, but other times, like tonight, I wasn't really into friend time right now. I just wanted to be in my bunk... alone. It didn't help that Ella and Juliet was there.

When I looked at them all cuddled up with their girlfriends, it was like a stab in my heart, why didn't I get to have someone to love me like that? Oh wait I did, but I fucked up, and now I haven't seen my love for over two years. If only I had one more chance to make it up to her.

While I was thinking to myself like some crazy person, I heard the door open. It was only Andy, So I thought.

"Hey guys. I found something, or more like someone  peeping around our bus." Andy said, making us all look up. He moved out of the way of the short woman standing behind him. What I saw made my mouth drop. I would recognize that body anywhere.

It was the body I've longed to hold for two long years.

"Marissa?" I said as my voice cracked.

I didn't know whether to be angry or happy. I was happy to see her, but I was all of sudden pissed. I was pissed that she left me. She left me crying in the living room that day. It was my fault yes, but she should have let me explain.

"Yes, it's me." I heard her beautiful voice say. At that point, all I wanted was to hold her, all anger I felt left once I heard her voice. I was once again madly in love with the rainbow- haired beauty that was standing in front of me and my band mates.

MARISSA'S POV

I walked in and saw Ashley. I could see hurt in his eyes. When he said my name, I almost saw a glimpse anger. Why would he be angry at me? What did I do? His face soon turned soft and I saw a glimpse of happiness in his eyes. I stood there staring at my first love for what seemed like an eternity. He hasn't changed in the two years, he looked almost the same except his eyes weren't as bright and his hair was slightly longer. Other then that, he was the exact same man I fell in love with.

I felt the same butterflies start a riot in my stomach. All I wanted to do at that moment was kiss him, however that would not be appropriate. If I was going to make this work,we had to take it slow. That is, if he wanted to give me another chance.

I managed to take my eyes off Ashley to look at the other band members that were sitting with their mouth hung open. Was it really that shocking I came back? Was it really that surprising that I came to my sister? I asked all these questions but the main one was did they still like me? I couldn't tell through their wide eyes. I was getting nervous standing in front of them like that. I felt like I was giving a presentation in high school again. I felt so vulnerable at that moment.

"MARISSA!!" I heard a sudden shout come from the couch, which caused me to look up with a start. I looked up,but only saw a black haired man with a bandanna charging at me. I laughed as CC picked me up and swung me around. The gesture was soon continued when two other men tackled me. Jake and Jinxx. One was missing, Ashley.

I looked back over to the couch where he was once sitting to see empty leather. The couch where he sat was now deserted.

"I'll go talk to him." I heard Andy say. I just nodded as I was dragged away by the other guys and forced to sit down. They tried cheering me up, but there was one thing, i couldn't get off my mind. Why didn't Ashley hug me with the others? Did he really hate me that much? Why is he the one who was angry? He cheated on me when I loved him, but he was angry?

The guys spent the next 2 hours with me, talking about what I missed and making jokes about Cake and Janxx. It was hilarious to know people put them in homosexual relationships with one another. A secret between me and you, I read them to, which just made it more hilarious.

"Janxx is so much sexier then Cake!" Jinxx yelled. Were they seriously yelling about this? CC and Jinxx were now in a full blown argument over Jake. Jake just sat there shaking his head and rolling his eyes at the two boys.

I told all about Motionless and Ricky, all the way up to Ricky hitting me that night. After I told them that, all three boys were ready to kill a certain member of the motionless gang. I just shook my head and we continued to talk that entire night, up until we all passed out from either exhaustion or alcohol.

I can truly say this night was the best I've had in 2 years. The only bad thing was that neither Andy or Ashley came from the bunk area that night.

This caused me to wonder, Did they both hate me or was it all in my head?
