Goodbye Agony (Andley)

Chapter Eighteen- Andley

- One week Later -

Ashley's POV

It was already 6:00 in the morning and I had been at work all night, since yesterday afternoon actually. I went up to the front where my manager was and picked up my pay. I worked a double shift to get the extra money to buy Andy something nice since his birthday is today. I had to buy him something nice maybe jewelry or something. I wish he was 18, I'd definitely buy him an engagement ring. I loved Andy so much that I knew I wanted to marry him, I knew that there was nobody else that I would want to spend the rest of my life with.

Within a few minuets I found myself walking in to a jewelry store. I was looking at a case of rings and some lady came up to me.
"Hello sir, How can I help you?" She smiled.
"I'm looking for um promise rings." I said and she nodded then took a case out of the display. I saw two black and silver promise rings and I knew Andy would love them.
"I'll take those two." I said pointing to the ones I wanted. The lady nodded before taking them out of the case and putting them in to individual black ring boxes. I paid for them and I didn't even care that they cost 500$, money didn't matter to me when it came to Andy. I thanked the lady and got took the bag with the rings then walked back outside to my car. I got in and began driving home.

I walked in through the front door and saw Pop drinking a cup of coffee in the kitchen.
"Morning Pop, is Andy awake?" I asked.
"Nope." He shook his head. I set the bag that had the rings in it down on the table and then walked to the coffee maker.
"So what's in the bag?" Pop asked.
"I bought Andy and I promise rings." I said while pouring some coffee in to a mug.
"Oh that's nice. I bet he'll love them." Pop smiled before putting his cup in to the sink. He walked off to the living room and sat down at the table and sipped on my coffee. When I was finished, I grabbed the bag off the table and headed upstairs to my bedroom. I opened door and saw Andy sleeping peacefully which made me smile. I walked over to my wardrobe and tucked the bag in one of my drawers underneath some clothes. I pulled out some pajamas and quickly changed out of my work uniform. Then I laid down in the bed, under the covers and before I knew it, I was falling asleep.

Andy's POV

I opened my eyes slightly and looked around the room. I turned over and noticed that Ashley wasn't in bed. That's pretty weird considering the fact that he gets out of work at 6:00 in the morning and right now it's 12:00 in the afternoon. I sat up and stretched my arms before getting up out of bed. I started walking down stairs then suddenly, Ashley and his grandparents came out holding a cake and singing "Happy Birthday". I smiled and walked over to them as they sang and when they were done, I blew out the 15 candles on my cake. Ashley's grandma took the cake back to the kitchen to cut it.
"Happy birthday, babe." Ashley smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Thanks Ashy." I said and felt myself blushing. He held my hand and led me to the kitchen where Nan had plates with slices of cake on them.
"Pop, you couldn't wait until the birthday boy had his first slice?" Ashley chuckled as we sat down at the table.
"What can I say, I love your Nan's baking." Pop said with,a mouthful of cake. I started eating the slice of chocolate cake in front of me which tasted pretty amazing. I looked over at Ashley who was taking small bites if cake and he looked so tired. Poor thing probably only had 2 or 3 hours of sleep before having to wake up and sing me "Happy Birthday".
"Andy, I have a present for you." Ashley said.
"Okay." I replied excitedly.
"Close your eyes then babe." He instructed. I nodded and covered my eyes.
"Okay, open them." I heard Ashley say. I uncovered my eyes and saw Ashley holding a little black box that contained a silver and black ring.
"It's a promise ring." Ashley explained. I held out my left hand and he slid the ring on my finger.
"I love it so much Ash." I smiled.
"I'm glad you do babe." Ashley smiled back and slid a matching ring on his finger.

Later that night, Ashley and I were laying in bed, just talking and what not. Talking about my parents and how they didn't even call me or anything for my birthday. Then we talked about a bunch of other random things.
"I wanna start a band." I said randomly.
"That sounds pretty cool, babe. Maybe you should start a band." Ashley said before kissing my forehead.
"I really want to. I want to save lives and I wanna be a hero just with out the disguise. I wanna help people." I told him. I don't think I've ever told anyone that before. I've never told anyone about me wanting to start a band and me saving people through music.
"Well maybe a while after Quinn is born, you can start a band." Ashley shrugged. I nodded and laid my head on his chest. I never in a million years thought that I would ever achieve my dream of being a singer but as long as I had Ashley by my side, I knew I could do anything I had wanted to do with my life. He supported me no matter what and I was grateful for that.
"What do you think you'd call your band?" Ashley asked.
"I don't know.. But it's gotta be something catchy, something people can chant when we're on stage." I said and I could just picture everything in my head, the screaming crowd the music, everything.
"I bet you'd make it big." Ashley said and kissed my head.
"Maybe." I shrugged slightly. Then I started to feel Quinn move around in my belly and I figured he was probably restless.
"I'm gonna sing a song really quick for Quinn." I said as I placed my hands over my belly. I sat up straight and I was hesitant about singing in front of Ashley. I didn't want him to hate my singing or anything. I took a deep breath and started singing a song I had wrote called "Sweet Blasphemy". After I had finished singing, it seemed like Quinn was doing back flips in my belly.
"That was.. Amazing." Ashley said softly.
"Thanks," I blushed, "I've never sang in front if anyone. Well only Quinn if that counts."
"You'd definitely make it big, babe. You'd be amazing on stage." Ashley smiled. I laid down, cuddled up to his side and smiled to myself.
"I love you Ash, I'll see you in the morning." I mumbled.
"See you in the morning, beautiful. I love you too with all my heart."
