Chapter nine ''Recovering.''

Andy's POV

After four days in the hospital, I'm allowed to go home again. I walk out and Hanna is waiting for me in the car. "Hey Andy, how are you doing buddy?" I close the door. "I'm okay. My arm still hurts a bit but I can live with that." We both smile. "That's good to hear. Let's take you home.''

Hanna waves. I want to take my key but it isn't in my pocket. I start panicking. Suddenly I see that the front door opens. It's Ashley. "Sorry Andy, I took your keys. I wanted to surprise you when coming home." I start blushing and smiling like an idiot. That is so sweet of him. "No problem Ash, that's really nice of you." We hug eachother and go sit on the couch. "I asked my mom if I could crash at your place for a week to take care of you. She said yes." He smiles at me. "I could take care of myself." I say brave. I know it isn't true, but I don't want him to think I'm a baby. "Andy, you broke your arm. Helping is the least I can do. I don't mind. The less you do, the earlier you are better and can get back to work again." He pokes me in my side. "Ash stop it!" I laugh.

The doorbell rings. "Who could that be?" Ashley asks me. "I don't know." He walks to the door. I immediately reconize Gina's voice. "Andy! You asshole, I was so scared!" She hugs me tight. "Gina watch my arm, it hurts!" She let's me go. "Sorry, I'm just so happy to see that you are okay." I look at Ashley, he laughs. "Yes, it's all thanks to Ashley. He found me and called 911." She runs at Ashley now. "Thank you so much Ashley for saving my best friend." They hug. "No problem." he says. "Well, I have to go to work now. Bye guys!" "Bye Gina." We say in union. We both laugh.

I sit at the kitchen table. Ashley is making us some supper. Macaron with cheese. We both eat, while talking. After we are finished, he puts all the stuff in the dishwasher. I already sit on the couch. Ash comes in with two glasses of coke and sits next to me on the couch.

"We really need to talk about...the kiss." It's hard to get it out. Ashley sighs. "Yeah I think we should." I see his hands shaking a bit. He is nervous and so am I. "Andy it wasn't your fault. I was scared. I was just scared. I'm such a stupid baby." He looks sad. "No Ash it isn't. I was way too hasty. I didn't even know if you liked me. It could have ruined our friendship. I just should have told you how I felt." He gives me a hug. "I think we both did stupid things that evening. Maybe we should just forgive and forget?" He looks me right in the eyes. Ash is so beautiful. "We should. I don't want to lose you. I will give you the time you need. You can't force love." He starts blushing. "Thanks Andy, you're the best." "No you are. Thanks for taking care of me. I really appreciate it." He smiles. I melt again. "No problem." We both go to our rooms and try to sleep.
