Love Isn't Always Fair
Chapter 8
Destinee's POV
"You guys had us so freakin worried!" Andy hugs Ashley then hugs me,
"Come on we leave a in a couple of hours!" He grabs my suitcases and leaves me with his jacket,
"I'll put these in my room, Ashley why don't you help me." Ashley groans a little bit.
"Aggh, dude I'm really don't feel like it I'm tired I just wanna lay down for a while and.." He stops when Andy gives him a look.
"Okay okay I'm coming." They leave and Andy smiles at me as he closes the door, then all I hear is muffled voices. My thoughts are interrupted by an unexpected and extremely tight hug, I could tell his smell and fluffy hair on my forehead it was Jake.
"Hey Jake, am I allowed to breathe?" He loosens his grip and hold my shoulders and looks at me,
"I'm sorry" I laugh,
"It's okay."
"We just thought you guys got some some serious trouble." Jinxx says while walking towards me with his arms open for a hug.
"Na we were fine, I was just really tired so we decided to stay." I say in a muffled voice. I pat his chest as he lets me go.
"Good to know you and Ashley are safe, let's watch something, you guys want a beer or anything?" CC asks while looking in the refrigerator.
"Yeah, pass me one." CC tosses a beer to Jake,
"No thanks I have to finish packing." Jinxx says while walking to his room.
"Want one?" CC asks while holding one out to me.
"Ehhhh, na man I'll be out front, anyone got a cigarette?" I've been craving one since last night.
"Check the counter, I think Andy left his pack and lighter there." Jake points to the opposite side of the room.
"Thanks I'll be back in like 10 minutes." I grab one cigarette from Andy's pack and his lighter.
"Hey CC pass me the hotel keys." He takes them out of his pocket tosses them to me.
"Be careful kid." I smile at Jake as I open the door,
"Thanks I will." I walk down the hall and wait for the elevator. It comes within a minute. I press the lobby button, when the door opens I walk outside. I find a shaded spot against the building, light the cigarette and take a long drag. As I let out the smoke, I let out my life I've just left behind as well.
Andy's POV
"Ashley, what happened." He throws himself on the bed face first.
"Hmmm mhhhhh mmmm."
"Dude I can't hear you get your face out of the damn pillow." He groans and rolls over on his back.
"I said, I fucked her." Rage flowed through my body as I felt myself get hot,
"You WHAT?" Ashley's eyes widens and he laughs.
"Dude relax I'm kidding," I immediately feel embarrassed.
"Oh.. But why didn't you come back last night OR answer any of my calls?"
"Do you have any idea how much you sound like a crazy overprotective girlfriend?"
"Ashley.."
"Ugghh, okay when we got to the house she practically ran out of the car and went inside, I waited for her then I heard screaming and stuff breaking.." My heart starts beating faster, I'm afraid of what he might tell me.
"Oh my god," Ashley holds up his hand, a slight gesture to tell me to shut up and let him finish.
"So I ran inside and her mother was banged up pretty badly, so I told the driver to call the cops. Her mother told me Destinee was upstairs and her father was drunk so I went up to her room and.." He closes his eyes as if it's too painful for him to continue. "Her father was trying to rape her, but I fought him off and the police came to arrest him. She was drained from the experience so she asked me to stay with her, that's all okay?" He opens his eyes again and stares at me with a face that showed no emotion, he seems to be drained from the experience as well.
"Woah, I'm sorry man. I-I had no idea." He shakes his head,
"No, don't apologize. You had nothing to do with it. All that matters is that she's okay." I walk up to him hug him.
"Neither of you should of had to go through that, I'll be back. I'll go check on Destinee, just get ready to leave okay?"
"Okay man, just don't bring it up to her or any of the other guys. That's a conversation for another time."
"Okay." As I open the door to leave I look back at Ashley, could it be possible he has feelings for her too? No, Ashley could have any girl he wants, why would he pursue Destinee? I shake the thought from my mind as I close the door behind me. I look around the room all I see Is the backs of Jake's and CC's heads as they're watching tv.
"Hey where's Destinee? And Jinxx?" Jake answers me without turning around.
"Jinxx is packing, and Destinee went for a smoke outside."
"Okay, thanks." I grab my pack, my lighter is gone, she must have taken it, I put my keys in my pocket and head downstairs.
Destinee's POV
I take one last drag of my cigarette before it was too short. I flick it on the ground and step on it as I let the smoke out through my nose. I should have taken two.
"Hey Des." Only one person calls me that.
"Hey Andy." I say still twisting my foot on the cigarette.
"Uhh, I don't think you have to murder the poor thing." I lift my foot up and the cigarette is a mess.
"Yea I guess your right." It gets quiet and I hear him open his pack. I hand him his lighter from my back pocket.
"Thanks." I nod in acknowledgement. I know I'm being a douche but I really wanted alone time.
"Hey Des, can you look at me please." I look up at him and his vibrant blue eyes are stunning, he's so beautiful.
"I know what you went through," Ashley told him, my face feels hot. I look down at the squashed cigarette. "But I want you to know, I feel horrible about what happened. If I would have just went with you, none of that would have happened. I'm truly sorry." His voice cracks which causes me to look at him. Eyes are watery and they look to be pleading, but his lips are pressed into a straight line. My hand travels to his cheek, I feel his strong cheek bones and jaw line as I hold his face. He closes his eyes and a tear rolls on to my palm.
"I'm so sorry Destinee, I'm so sorry." I bring him closer to my face, my lips brush against his while I talk to him.
"Don't apologize, it wasn't your fault okay? Stop crying. It wasn't anyone's fault. Don't feel bad your an amazing person Andy."
"Andrew."
"What?"
"Call me Andrew."
"Okay, you're amazing Andrew." I feel his cheek press against my hand as his smile widens.
"I think I love you Destinee DeJesus" Love? Does he know what he's saying. Before I have a chance to ask his about his choice in words, his lips are pressed against mine. His lip ring ice cold against my lips but gradually warms up. At that moment I was in bliss, and for a split second, I thought I might love him too.
"You guys had us so freakin worried!" Andy hugs Ashley then hugs me,
"Come on we leave a in a couple of hours!" He grabs my suitcases and leaves me with his jacket,
"I'll put these in my room, Ashley why don't you help me." Ashley groans a little bit.
