The Sidewalk Where It All Started (A BVB Love series book 2)

Chapter Twenty Two As Young As We Are Now

(Lily)

               It’s been a week sense that walk in with Andy, the first few days were embarrassing as Andy and Raven kept on poking fun at it. But thankfully they stopped when once they realized that we weren’t going to try anything while on the bus.

                 Walking into the mini kitchen I opened the fridge pursing my lips. Glancing around I snuck one of CC’s monsters and quickly ran to the back room where I had left my guitar. Settling back on to the couch I started playing the guitar again and played a tune that had been stuck inside my head for days now. The few cords that I played sounded actually decent, so I wrote them down before trying out another combination.

               That was how Ashley found me, ten minutes later, trying out chords and writing them if it worked well.

               “You know, that’s actually really good,” He said. Raising my head I smiled at him as he walked in so he could kiss me. Pulling back I moved over so that he could sit down as well.

               “When’s the concert at?” I asked.

               “Eight, so we have a couple hours to kill. We have the entire bus to ourselves for once” at his hinting I looked up to see his smirk. Setting my guitar down I curled against Ashley and wrapped my arm around his waist.

               “Where’d everyone go?”

              Pushing my hair back, he wrapped his arms around my body. “Jake and Jinxx are doing an interview, CC is probably hanging out with some fans, and Andy and Raven went somewhere.” Nodding my head I gave him a smile.

                “You didn’t want to meet the fans?” I asked.

            Ashley shook his head, “No I do, but I didn’t want you all by yourself.”

               “Then let’s meet them,” I said, immediately standing up. Walking out of the back room I grabbed a sweatshirt that was sitting in our bunk and slipped it on. Ashley pulled his leather jacket on and grabbed two different sharpies.

                “Are you sure, I mean they’re fantastic, they really are. But do you want them to know about us?” So that’s why he didn’t go out there with CC. Wrapping my arms around his torso I kissed him, surprising him.

               “I am perfectly fine with them knowing about us.” I whispered.

              “I just don’t want you to get hurt. Sometimes, there can be fans who will hate on anyone that we date. It’s happened to Andy plenty of times before and Jake, and sometimes its ruins relationships. I don’t want to lose you,” Ashley whispered back.

           Putting my hand on his cheek I pecked his lips once more. He kissed me as if he was about to lose me, and I would rather die than not be with him.

              “I’ve already met two fans,” I started, “And they were so nice to Raven and I. You guys have one of the most accepting fan bases that I have ever seen, and so what if you have a couple fans that aren’t happy when you guys date someone? It’s how we react to the hate that decides if we’re going to work it out.”  Walking out of his embrace I smiled and led him to the door. The closer we got to the door the more his smiled grew and the more reassured he seemed to get.

                In minutes the screams got louder as the fans saw the two of us walking out of the bus holding hands. They were smiling as Ashley started signing and taking pictures with them. Standing nearby, but not close enough so he wouldn’t focus on his fans, I put on my old baseball cap to block the sun. We’re in Nevada for one day before we start going into the states that actually got, cold. It was safe to say that I was taking advantage of the sun while we had it.
