Heartbreak and Heartbeats (Andley)

The Dragonfly's Sting

A/N Juliet would never do this and I have nothing against her and Andy, (in fact I think it's the cutest thing ever, I mean come on there adorabubble) I just need a reason for Ashley and Andy to be able to date and not cheat. The song for this chapter is "Walk Away" beacuse it just fits so well!

The fine winter's morning, where the snow was thick, clean and not trodden on, was the same morning I would propose to the woman of my life, my dragonfly. I knew from the moment I met her she was the one, it wasn't the love you think is true and strong, this was so much more. I strolled down the street she lived on, I would be spending Christmas with her, my favourite time of the year. I still remember pestering my mum to put the tree up as soon as possible and take it down way after the Christmas season had ended. We never had any outside lights so I would go all out inside. The bands great at Christmas, I still remember Jinxx hosting the ugly sweater parties. As I stepped up to her door my courage all but left me. I couldn't do this, I wasn't ready, but I knew that wasn't true. I loved her so much.

I walked around in tight circles clutching the rose's I had got her. I rubbed the back of my head, the habit I've always had when I'm stressed. I went to bite my lip ring but I'd forgotten I'd gotten rid of it, I might get it back. Taking deep breaths I quietly muttered "I can do this" over and over again. I was being silly, she would say yes, I know she would.

I walked up to her front door, roses in hand, ring hidden, after tumbling though my pockets for the key she gave me, the cold of the frosty morning effecting my fingers, I finally found it, I put it in the lock, gulped, and turned the key. I kicked my boots off before going in, then quickly shut the door, not wanting to let the heat out. "Dragonfly, it's Andy", no answer, that's strange.

I walked into to her open space living room and kitchen, she wasn't there making pancakes like she normally would. I did come a day before I said I would. I wanted to surprise her with the best gift I could give her. She must still be in bed, not wanting to leave the warm, and if she didn't answer or hear me come in she must still be asleep. I decided I'd wake her up nicely, I quietly walked up her stairs and waited outside her room, listening in. I slowly grabbed the handle and walked in, but what I saw crushed me, destroyed me. I felt my eyes welling up, I cursed my lip at its trembling, I blinked making sure the sight I'd seen was true.

"ANDY!" Juliet shouted,

"What whose this?"The man between her sheets asked. I bolted and ran down the stairs, dropping the red love flowers on my descent. Tears began to blur my vision and I fell on the last couple of stairs hitting my hip, arm and head against the floor. "Andy are you okay?" I got up and smashed open the door, I felt blood drip down my head. The suffocation of the walls leaving me, I could breathe better. I was so betrayed I hurt more than words, I treasured her, respected her. I never even looked at another woman after I met her, not one glance. My crimson blood hit the snow and dyed it. She threw my admiration away. I started to run away, the person I let call me white rabbit left me for another man while I still had a beating heart for her.

Was she faking all this time?

"Andy, Andy wait, don't go Andy I can explain!", I didn't want to hear that voice, not at this moment, not anymore, so I walked away. Fists clenched, heartbroken and eyes streaming.

I got to the studio, dried my tears and put on the bravest face I could manage. I needed something to distract me from the loss, the hurt. Music, and the guys always did that pretty well. "Hay Andy, wow, dude you look like you just got hit by a truck" CC stated. "Thanks for summing that up" I replied, "You okay Andy, CC's right you look terrible" Ashley said, "wait have you been crying, and this that blood?" All the guys then turned their heads towards me.

"You alright man?" Jake asked. I Couldn't and wouldn't tell them, at least not now.

"I'm fine, I just slid on the ice outside and it hurts like a motherfucker." They all looked at me, almost expecting more. Then Jinxx spoke up "You okay, that looks like it could need some stitches."

"It does?" I questioned, Ash handed me a mirror. Yep, that's going to need stitches. Ash then spoke up, "I could drive you to the hospital, it's still kind of bleeding, and without stitches, it will probably stay that way." I agreed and he drove me there, we met some fans, took some pictures, I joked about my injury and said it's my new war paint, and Ash dropped me home.

"Thanks Ash"

"It's okay, see you tomorrow."

"You bet" and with that he left." I burst in to tears, as I lay on the coach, I couldn't hold it in any more after a whole day of pretending not to care. My phone buzzed, and I checked it 23 missed calls, 35 unread messages, I switched it off and just laid there slowly soaking the pillow.
