Forbidden Fruit (Cashley Fanfic)

Chapter 14

~CC'S P.O.V ~

Andy and slump into the tour bus exhausted. My face is damp from my crying and Andy's shoulder has a few dark tear marks.

Andy pulls me into a friendly hug and begins to comfort me.

"He'll be ok CC, trust me. Nothing's gonna stop him from coming back to you."

Andy's words make me cry more and I bury myself in his chest. I let hot tears pour our of my eye sockets and drip down Andy's shirt. All I can think about is why I got so mad at Ashley.
He wasn't the one who went in for the kiss. He was taken advantage of in a drunken state.

I pull myself away from the hug and speak.

"I'm going to take a shower now."

Andy looks at me intently and nods. He knows that I need time to be alone right now. I heave myself up from the sofa and drag myself to the bathroom. I take off my clothes and hop into the warm shower, letting the water wash away any tear marks.

As the water runs down me I hear Jake and Jinxx start talking to Andy.

"You have to." (Jake I assume.)

"No." (Andy, definitely Andy.)

"You must." (Jinxx?)

"Keep it down!"

A silence fills the tour bus. I lean myself closer to the bathroom door and listen in:

"Look," Jinxx begins, "this is getting stupid. Either you tell him, or I will."

"Yeah Andy. You need to sort this."

Sort what??

I hear Andy take a deep breath and sigh.

"Fine. I'll tell him."

The tour bus is silent once again and I hear footsteps come towards the bathroom.

"Uhh...CC? You got a minute?"

Andy.

I swallow hard.

"Yeah. What is it?"

"Well before we left the hospital, a doctor pulled me aside and started talking to me about Ash."

"R-really? What did they s-say?"

I was beginning to shake and my stomach sinks.

"It's....it's his heart. They don't think he'll make it." I hear him fighting back tears as he speaks.

I fall against the bathroom wall and lay there. I can't move, I can't feel, all I can do is sit there. My pulse slows down dramatically and my breathing pace drops. The only noise managing escaping my mouth is a raspy cry.

I let myself drop and I start sobbing uncontrollably, beating the surroundings with my fists.

This. Can't. Happen.
THIS CAN'T HAPPEN!!!!

I slam my head against the wall and a little blood drips from my forehead. I smak the wall again, this time more blood comes out.

I smak myself again and again, each time the force getting stronger.

The blood pours out of me.

I do one last smak before all fades to black.
