I'm in love with an Outlaw- Andley

Chapter 9

~Andy’s POV~

Ashley had been gone for a while now. Jinxx was refusing to tell me what had happened to Ashley, and it was making me freak out. Bad thoughts kept running through my head, like Ashley was dying, he has cancer. Anything my mind could conjure up to terrify me further.

Eventually Jake came back, alone I may add. No Ashley.

“Where’s Ashley?!” I commanded, glaring at Jake.

“Doctor said he wanted to keep Ashley in a room, alone for now. We might be allowed to visit him later.” He said, leaving out the information I so desperately needed to know.

“Well what’s wrong with him then?” I pressed on; hoping that someone would tell me what was going on.

“Now that’s something that we can’t tell you...it wouldn’t be very nice of us to tell you. Ashley would want to tell you himself...” Jinxx said quietly.

“Fuck you both...” I muttered, crossing my arms and letting out a loud sigh.

“Andy, he’s not dying. Calm the fuck down.” Jake whined as I paced along the floor of the waiting room.

“I’m worried! Shut up!” I glared harshly at Jake before continuing with my nonstop pacing of the room.

A doctor walked in, “Friends and family of Ashley Purdy?” he called out.

I immediately ran over, the guys following me, “Yes?” I asked.

“You can see him now, although he’s still in a bit of a state so please be quiet and don’t stress him out anymore than he already is.” The doctor led us down the hall; we all followed silently until we reached the room that Ashley was in, all alone.

I knocked on the door, and I heard a faint, ‘come in’ from somewhere inside the room so I entered, the guys staying outside for now, understanding that I wanted to be alone with Ashley for a minute or two.

“Hey baby...” I murmured as I slowly walked over to the bed.

“H-hi...A-Andy...” Ashley whispered, tensing slightly as I took a seat beside the bed.

“How are you feeling?”

“Um...sore...I guess....”

“What happened? Please tell me...”

“I don’t know...you’ll be mad at me...”

“I could never be mad at you, just tell me...”

“Well y’know the night I came back late from going to the shops...?”

“Yes?” I breathed.

“Well someone sort of pulled me into an alley way...and they...well they...” he seemed to be struggling for words.

I nodded, watching him.

“R-raped...me...” he whispered and looked down, “I’m so sorry, Andy! I should have fought back harder...” he whimpered.

“Baby, don’t be sorry...at least you’re not too badly hurt that it’s fatal...right?”

“I guess so...” he mumbled.

“And I’m so sorry...that must have been traumatising...”

Ashley nodded and shrunk back slightly when I reached over for him.

“Baby, I won’t hurt you, I promise.”

“You promise...?”

“Cross my heart.”

“O-okay...” he allowed me to give him a gentle hug and kiss his head.

“I love you, Ashy.” I whispered to him.

“I love you, too, Andy~” he murmured.

I kissed his forehead, again, trying to comfort him in any way I could.

“We can cancel the rest of tour if you’d like? I can explain to the fans that something bad happened and we had to cancel the rest of tour while we all get over it?” I suggested.

He nodded into my chest, “Please...although I do feel bad for the rest of the BVB army that we haven’t visited.”

“You’re not fit to do any concerts, hush now~” I Eskimo kissed him, causing him to giggle slightly.

“You’re laugh is adorable~” I murmured.

Be flushed red, heat radiating off of his face. “I...uh...Thank you?”

“You’re very welcome, baaaabyyy~” I sung.

He laughed again, at me messing around and looked into my eyes.

I looked back at him and before I realised, our lips were connected in a gentle yet passionate kiss. I was pouring every emotion I could into the kiss to show how much I loved him and that I would never leave him.

We pulled away when the guys came into the room, I at back down on the chair beside the bed, smiling softly at Ashley. They all said ‘hey’ to him and asked him how he was feeling, all of us aware of what had happened to him now.

We just chatted for a while about anything and everything, till the guys and I were told to leave. Ashley’s face fell at this request.

“No...Please don’t leave me here...” he whispered, clinging onto my arm for dear life.

“I’m sorry Ashy...you need to be monitored while you recover for a couple days. I’ll be back tomorrow morning as soon as I get up, I promise.”

“Really...?”

“Really~” I kissed him quickly and hugged him before slowly backing away and following the guys out the door with a saddened wave. Ashley just stared after me helplessly.

“Bye...Andy...” I heard him whisper as I left the room.

“Bye, Ashes.” I mumbled.

The guys and I made our way out to the bus which we were going to keep in the hospital parking lot. It made it easier for visiting Ashley, and for when he got to leave in a couple days.

When we were all on the bus and sitting doing whatever, I heard CC mutter. “It’s so quiet without Ashley...”

“I know, Cee...” I mumbled leaning back on the sofa, pouting.

“It’s only a couple days till he gets to come back though...and we need to cancel the rest of tour while he fully recovers...physically that is.”

The guys all nodded, “Yeah, I feel really bad for him...he’s never going to be the same...” Jinxx said quietly.

“I know...I just wish that I could turn back time and one of us could have been sent to go with him...or he just didn’t go at all.” Jake mumbled.

A silence fell over the bus and we were all left to our own thoughts as we stared aimlessly at the walls or playing on our phones in attempt to distract ourselves until we headed to bed.

After a while I was the only one still up. I was watching the TV because I couldn’t sleep, no matter how hard I tried. I was worried that something might happen to Ashley overnight. I wouldn’t want that to happen.
