Who Can Save Me Now? (Andley)

Chapter 17

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, there's this cool new demographics page on the Create tab when I click on one of my stories so I can see where most of you are from which is America and the United Kingdom. But I want to know where each one of you is from. You don't have to tell me your address because that's pretty unsafe to put on the internet haha just the state/province/whatever you call the general vicinity you live in like I live in Missouri, and I have a friend who lives in Essex County in the UK. So just tell me stuff like that. I'm really interested in demographics right now if you couldn't tell haha. Anyway, I'll stop talking now and give you the chapter I have written----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Time Lapse: 5 years (after graduation and they're all famous and stuff)*

Ashley POV

        We broke up. He dumped me five years ago today. In senior year. I sat in my room rolling the promise ring he gave me around in my fingers. I sighed heavily and lay down on my bed. I know what you’re wondering. Why didn’t I just leave the band? Because. I couldn’t. The rest of the band members were my best friends I couldn’t just abandon them; I had no one else to turn to. I lost all of my friends when I started dating Andy because I came out to everyone. God, he ruined my life. He took everything I had away from me, but then again, I let him take everything. Ugh, I hate thinking about this but it haunts my thoughts every day. Tequila and other assortments of alcohol are the only things that I’ve done that numb the awful pain of him not being here next to me. He’s probably having the time of his life right now and doesn’t even remember our relationship while I’m in here on the brink of tears because I loved him with every fiber in my being. No, I love him. I love him so much it hurts my heart to the point of breaking all over again when I see him with someone else, boy or girl. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SO SELFISH? I LOVED HIM WITH EVERYTHING I HAD. AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING. I FEEL NUMB AND EMPTY ALL THE TIME. AND HE’S PROBABLY WAKING UP AND SMILING AT THE SUN AND THE FLOWERS AND I STAY IN MY ROOM FOR MOST OF THE TIME AND CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I groaned loudly and buried my head in my hands. What am I going to do?

Andy POV

                Five years today. Why did I end it? Why was I such an idiot? I hurt him so much. At the time, I felt no remorse for what I had done to him but now, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for what I did. I curled up on my bed and held my pillow to my chest, casting my gaze towards the closed door, imagining his across the hall. Oh Ashley, I’m so sorry. I hope you’re having a better day than I am. I love you. I shut my eyes hard to block out the thoughts that would send me to tears. Just go to sleep Andy. You’ll feel better when you wake up. I pulled my pillow closer to my chest wishing so hard that it was him instead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oooooooohhhhh shit. What’d Andy do????????? Guess you’ll have to wait and find out later haha--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
