The First Call

It's official

It was time to leave the hospital. Andrew and I haven't spoken since, you know...

He was in the waiting room with AJ and others. Before we left his room I asked him not to tell them anything. Then I helped him sit in the wheelchair and we left not anymore his room.

I left him with Nina and others. As his caregiver, I had to sign one more paper and when I did, we were ready to go.

I heard them laughing as I was approaching them. Nina coughed a bit and they stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked a bit suspicious, but still I smiled.

"Nothing babe," Andrew said.

If I could kill him with only my look he would be twice dead by now.

"What was that?" Caleb asked smirking.

"Nothing." I answered in a flash.

"You know we aren't deaf, right?" AJ asked but it was more like a statement.

Nina just looked at me with the same smirk Caleb had. How cute.

"Are you not going to tell us anything?" Caleb asked looking at both me and Andrew.

"Do you really don't know how to keep a secret? Is it really that hard?" I mocked Andrew, trying to hide how furious I actually was.

"C'mon Ashley, tell them already!" Andrew smiled wisely.

"Tell us that you're dating?" Still with the smirk on her face, Nina came closer to me and hugged me. "Congrats bestie! I'm so happy for you!"

I hugged her back. "Yeah, thank you. We were supposed to tell you all at the same time, but someone here doesn't know how to keep their mouth shut." I glanced at Drew and smiled.

"You guys will be the definition of couple goals," Caleb said and before Nina was able to do anything to him, he added "Of course after Nina and me."

"You wish," Drew said and winked at me.

I felt butterflies and all the cute flying bugs in my stomach.

"Shall we go now?" AJ asked rolling his eyes, but you could see he had a small smile in the corner of his mouth.

"Poor AJ, he's disgusted by our boyfriend-girlfriend talks," Nina said and we all laughed, expect for AJ who once again rolled his eyes, with the same small smile.

I gave Andrew a quick kiss on the cheek and went behind him so I can push his wheelchair.

Nina smirked once again before we finally left.

Caleb and AJ helped me get Andrew in the car and after that up the stairs in the building we lived in. We had no elevator so it was really challenging to go up and down whenever Andrew needed to leave.

When we entered the apartment Caleb facetimed Ben and Brent and Nina facetimed Daisy. They both said everything about Andrew and his broken leg and our relationship, of course they didn't forget that.

Ben and AJ agreed to come to help every time when we have to go to school.

When everyone left, Drew and I set and talked about everything. It was quite emotional. At some point a few tears formed in my eyes.

"Come here," Andrew said opening his arms. "Give me a hug."

I did as he told me.

"Just watch out for my leg." He laughed.

Without any words, I carefully set on his lap and he gave me the loveliest hug ever. We stayed like that for a while.

I woke up to the sound of Andrews voice.

"Ouch," he said.

I slowly opened my eyes. "What's wrong?" I asked with a sleepy voice.

"I can't feel my legs." He answered with a small laugh following his last word.

"I'm sorry." I got up trying not to hurt him.

"When did you gain weight?" Andrew joked.

"Hey! That's not nice!" I slightly pushed his arm.

"You're so beautiful," he said with a serious face expression now.

"Wow, you already begun with the serious relationship. We aren't even official yet." I had a smile but I actually meant what I said.

"Can you come closer, I think you have something in your hair," Andrew said ignoring me.

"Are you really not going to answer-" I started while I was kneeling down and leaning towards him.

But, instead of taking out that little something out of my hair, he kissed me. This time it wasn't a prank, our friends weren't mocking us. This time it was real. I could hear fireworks exploding in my stomach.

I was the one that broke the kiss. I just started at his beautiful face for a few moments.

"It's official," he simply said.

I smiled and leaned over again. And we kissed. Again. Again and again. Tons of emotions and thoughts were jumping all over my head. I felt like the happiest person on the planet.

"Will you sleep with me tonight?" Andrew asked suddenly.

"What?" I asked a bit shocked.

"It's up to you. I thought, maybe, if I need something in the middle of the night, I can wake you up easier than yelling." He explained himself.

"Who are you lying to? We both know you never wake up at night." I chuckled.

"Is that a yes?"

I nodded. Once again he opened his arms for a hug and I accepted it.

After some time I went to shower. After that I brought my pillow and blanket to Andrews room.

It was about half an hour past midnight. I helped Andrew change into his pyjamas. Nothing serious happend though. With a bit of struggle I managed to lay him down in the bed. I then layed next to him. He gave me a goodnight kiss and closed his eyes. I kept looking at him while he was falling asleep. He was so sweet. I realised that I was finally happy. I had everything I ever wanted. I had that one person who I thought would make my life more easier, who will make me better than I already am, who will forever be there for me. Little did I know I was terribly wrong.
