Save me From the Darkest Places

Chapter Nineteen: Epilogue

Well. To put everything together, me and Danny made it. Ashley ended up just leaving us alone and giving us space so we have had all the time in the world to love each other. We just cuddle in his bunk or sing together on stage and the fans are happy we are together.

Danny had taken me on our official first date, to get ice cream of course, and it was fun. I was surprised at how funny and charming he is. Everything about him is just perfect and Im glad Ashley broke up with me. Danny is my 'knight in shining armor'. Let just say Im the 'girl' in the relationship, thats at least what everyone teases me about. Me and Ben have gotten really close and he even jokes about my makeup, apparently that proves Im the most feminine on tour or something.

It turns out that Ashley's band is really

nice and now me and Kayden are like best friends. We are actually starting a new tour soon with Asking again and Kayden can play bass, so he's gonna be in our band!

Danny had also moved Into an apartment with me and brought his dog cowboy, who is a golden retriever. Cowboy is so sweet and adorable I see why he's Danny's dog, *wink*.

My band and me have also grown a lot closer even though I was barely with them the whole tour except show times, but after the incidents that occurred we have had a real eyeopener.

I just wished I said yes to Danny sooner instead of having all the problems I do now. The abuse from Ashley went away mentally, but physically I have really bad back problems and my back has a scar or two from the beatings. But! Thats just an excuse for making Danny buy me one of those really expensive and soft beds. Sometimes he'll also massage my back like that night when Ashley broke up with me for good.

Out of everything though, i'm glad Ashley left me, although it could've been in a nicer way, because without this tour I wouldn't have found the love of my life. And he's British, thats a plus.

So all in all, right now Im doing pretty good. Hopefully nothing will drag us apart and he'll grow enough balls to pop the question. Since i'm the girl I don't have to propose, its his job. Jk. But I think he wants to do it and has to do it to make up for the stall of making me think he didn't love me. I say it'll be about two years before he mans up and does it, but we'll see.

"Andy! Baby we gotta go!" I snapped from my thought as Danny yelled from the doorway and I groaned. "Coming, calm down." "You have been standing there forever!" "Its just a party!" "P- yeah. A party." He ran to the car and I raised an eyebrow before following him out the door.

We pulled up to a parking lot and I locked my phone before noticing we weren't even close to the destination. "Um.. Bear.. Where are we?" "I still don't get why you call me that." "Youre my big teddy bear!" As he got out of the car he told me to stay and I continued talking. "And everyone calls you Danny, I wanted something different." He opened my door and as I stepped out I thanked him. "Thank you, but seriously, party?" "Come." He grabbed my hand and we walked wherever he was leading. I immediately recognized the beach and smiled as we passed the gates. "Its so beautiful.. are we gonna watch the sunset?" "Yup, and I wanna tell you something." I looked at him in curiosity and he sighed. "When I first saw you I knew you were special, and I love you more than anything. Everything about you is perfect and without you I feel lost. from you calling me.. Bear?.. to cuddling with me at night, your presence is alway needed. I need you. Andy you make my day everyday and having you around makes everyone of my troubles disappear. I love you so, so, so much." I was smiling widely before kissing him deeply, only for it to drop when he turned around. "Thats it." "What? You expect a proposal?" He chuckled and kept walking making me sigh. "Of course not." I caught up to him and grabbed his hand before looking at the water. "Did you surprise me with a new bathing suit? Or at least bring them?" He chuckled before shaking his head and groaning. "Sometimes.. baby you can be a pain." "Says you who doesn't appreciate my nickname for you." He scoffed before shaking his head. "I appreciate everything you do for me baby." "So original.. baby."

We walked for a while before I started complaining. My feet were tired! "My feet hurt! Are we done?" "Fine, lets go--" "Oh my god!" I screeched as I saw Cowboy running toward us and Danny gasped. "What is he doing here?" "Cowboy! Wh--" I saw something on his collar and raised an eyebrow before pulling a small sticky note from the bandana. "What the hell is this?" I opened it to see it said 'Turn Around' but as I did I just about died. Danny was right behind me holding a ring. "Danny.." "No bear?" Tears welled in my eyes and he chuckled before speaking. "So excited over a promise ring." I went wide eyes and he shook his head. "Kidding! Anyway, baby. There really isn't anything to say that I haven't said before. So, will you marry me?" I nodded vigorously and he slid it on my finger before pulling my face in his neck. "Careful, don't hurt your neck." He laughed as tears slid down my cheeks and I groaned. "I'm so the girl in this relationship!" "And I love you for it.. baby."
