Smoke And Mirrors

The End

I rose from bed with the sun. I found myself wrapped in a pair of arms. A body was behind me, and a face in between my shoulder blades. I looked down at the arms for any tell-tell signs of who it may be. They had a slight tan, but looked human. They were covered in bruises and cuts. Just by seeing that, I knew it was Andy. Feeling bad once again about hurting him, I lightly picked up his arm. My plans were to move it and take a shower, but I was stopped by the sound of Andy groaning.
“Mmmmmm…Where are you going?” he grumbled, moving his head and upper torso slightly, but not going anywhere. It was only then that I realized we were both shirtless.
“I was going to go take a shower.” I replied sitting up on one arm so that I could look down at him. He looked amazing. His hair was nappy and really tangled…in a cute way. The cuts and bruises that had once marred his beautiful face where now healed. He looked the way I remembered, before the fight, before Satan, before anything bad ever happened. The only thing left now to heal was his arms and torso. Usually he would have healed within a day, had he been attacked by a human, but of course, I’m not human.
“Why do you look so sad?” he asked picking a piece of my hair up and moving it behind my ear, out of my face. I couldn’t help but let a little smile escape.
“Well, in all honestly, I feel bad for hurting you.”
“Don’t. It’s ok. Really. I promise.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course.” Andy said. That was enough to make it ok for now at least.
We just sat there looking at each other; neither one of us saying anything. After about 3 minutes, I couldn’t take it anymore. I was about to break the silence when Andy beat me to it.
“What would you do if I was to just disappear? Like, if you woke up one morning and I was just gone, how would you react?” he asked, finally sitting up.
“Well…I’m not sure. I would probably look for you for like a day, but after that I would stop and move on. I can’t really say that I would try harder after what just happened between us.”
“That makes sense…” he said turning his head to try to avoided me seeing his disappointed face. It didn’t work.
“Do you love me?” I couldn’t take it anymore; I had to ask.
“Huh?”
“Do you love me, Andy? You said that you did when we were in Hell, but I need to know if it was true.”
“Ashley…A lot was going on. I saw what you had become…I-I needed to say something to try to make you turn back into you…”
I couldn’t say anything. I could only stare in disbelief. I was about to reply when Raven and Yuuki walked in looking rather happy and maybe even glowing a little.
Without thinking twice I ran out the front door.
“Ashley, where are you going?” I heard Yuuki asking from behind me. We were standing in the drive way in front of the house. She placed a hand on my shoulder and gently turned me around to face her.
“I’m running away from Andy. I don’t know where I’m going to go. All I know is that I need to get my things and leave!”
“Why do you feel that way?”
“Because he doesn’t love me.
“But I thought he did…”
“No! He didn’t! He never loved me, and I was a fool for thinking that he did. Once again I’ve made an idiot of myself!”
“It’s ok. Everything will be ok. He’s just not the one for you and honestly, your way too good for him. He’s an ass and you actually have a heart unlike him. Look, your welcome to stay with me and Raven if you want. I’ll even help you with your things and give you my car.”
“No, it’s fine. I want to be alone. I just don’t think that I could handle being with someone right now. Thank you though; for everything.”
“You’re welcome, but please, let me at least give you my car so you can leave and get your belongings.”
“Thanks, but I couldn’t take your car.”
“Then barrow it. I’ll even let you pay me once a month if it’ll make you happy.” She said with a little smile.
“Alright, thank you so much.” She didn’t say anything she only winked and flashed me another smile before going back into the house.
She returned a minute later with a set of keys in her hand.
“Be careful. Call me when you find somewhere to stay and I’ll come by and drop off some food for you.”
“Ok. Thank you.” I said before taking the keys, getting in the car, and going to Andy’s house.
When I got to the house, Andy was already there. How he got there so quickly, I had no idea, but none the less I ignored him as I went upstairs and gathered my stuff. He didn’t try to stop me; I guess that’s because he already knew why I was leaving and knew that he couldn’t change my mind. Once I had all of my things together, I met Andy at the door and whispered a good-bye before leaving the house.
I didn’t know where I was going or if I would ever see Andy again. Non-the-less, I left anyway. Driving into the cool bright morning, never turning back to see what I was leaving behind. My only hope is that things will be better. As for my only regret, I wish Andy had been the man I had wanted him to be, but we all makes mistakes. Mine just cost my life that night at Smoke and Mirrors.

Notes
