Angels and Saviors and Whatnot

ANDY'S POV


I shifted and looked around frantically as I drove home. I was doing maybe 20 miles over the speed limit, and I was surprised I hadn't gotten pulled over yet. Ashley slept next to me in the passenger seat and mumbled incoherently in his sleep.

The look on Allison's face when she saw Ashley tied up reeled over and over in my head and I couldn't help but notice that she looked helpless. She looked defeated.

All these voices in my head were saying "How can you live with yourself?" "You let them get away." "She's dead because of you." "You're a worthless, selfish prick for letting this happen to her."

I couldn't take it anymore, I needed to know.

"Ashley? ASH." I shook the bassist's shoulder hard and focused my eyes back on the road when he woke up.

"What Andy?"

"I need you to tell me if Alli's dead." I gave him a desperate look and turned down a winding road, trying to buy myself more time to hear about the girl who was literally ripped away from me.

"Andy, no, that dries out my Angelic Powers and you know how limited those are." He gave me a stern look and I sighed.

"I just wanted to know if she was okay." My voice came out shaky and I, myself, cried at the sound of how broken it was.

"Andy....." He stopped when he saw the silent tears streaming down my face and sighed. "If I can't use my Powers later on, I hate you."

"Thanks Ash," I said as I sniffled and dried my tears the best I could.

He sat up in his seat and crossed his legs. He made an O shape with his fingers and rested them on his skinny knees.

His eyes closed softly and he mumbled "Dear God above us, give me the strength to travel into the mind of Allison Catharine Creeves, an innocent girl who has been taken by one of Satan's spawns. Give me the strength to know that her well-being is not in danger and give me the strength to continue to have just a slice of Angelic Powers after I do travel into the mind of this girl."

His body jolted and I knew that he was traveling through time and space to get to my girlfriend's state of mind. I focused my slightly blurred vision on the road ahead of me, knowing to never interrupt an Angel during this process.

Ashley twitched and breathed heavily as he was talking to Alli, and I was getting antsy. I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white and waited impatiently for Ashley to jolt back into his own state of mind.

"Andy!"

My foot slammed on the brakes on the deserted dirt road I had just turned on and my head snapped in Ashley's direction.

"What?"

"She wants you. She wants to talk to you."

"A-Are you sure? I can't talk to her, I'll feel so guilty."

"Andy. She needs you." He raised an eyebrow at me and crossed his tattooed arms.

"Okay, okay. Fine. If I start crying while I'm doing this, don't you dare make fun of me."

"Andy, I couldn't give two shits, she's your girlfriend for Christ's sake."

I sighed and mimicked Ashley's actions by bringing my skinny jean clad legs up into the seat and crossing them Indian style. My fingers were shaped into an O and my eyes drifted shut. I let out a deep breath and quietly prayed to my God.

"Dear Father, please give me the strength to bare the thought of what horrors poor Allison is going through right now. Give me the strength to carry on after I endure what she has gone through, and help the poor misguided soul that is her wretched father to cease his actions in torturing her any farther."

My body was hit with a small electric shock, and I found myself in a swirl of colors and scenes of Alli and myself. I finally stopped at Alli's face, her emerald green eyes looking clouded over and dreary.

"Ashley? I told you, I want ANDY!" I heard her say.

"No sweetheart, it's me."

"Andy! Ohmygod, please get me out of here, I don't know where I am, or how I got here!" I saw her eyes frantically dart around and I saw her breathing hitch when she looked into my eyes.

"You can't get me out of here, can you?"

"Not like this sweetheart."

"Please, Andy, please, I don't know what to do, I'm so helpless compared to them."

"Them? Who are they?"

"My father, Tony, and a weird disfigured zombie version of my mother. My father uses her against me in a torture type way, to remind me that she's dead and that she can't come back unless she looks like that."

I could see the tears rolling down her cheeks and hear her quiet sobs and I found myself in the same situation.

"Oh Alli, I am so so so sorry, I will find you and get rid of that monster. I swear to you Alli Cat. I have to go now, and I'll visit you like this as many times as I can to figure out where the hell you are. Okay?"

"A-Andy, you can't leave me, please don't leave me here. You can't leave!"

And I had no choice but to close out any emotions I had right then and get back to Ashley. I could feel my Powers draining and I needed to recharge them.

"Ashley! Ashley how could I do this to her!? How can I just leave her like this!? I'm such a terrible person, I should have fucking died for her!" Tears were flowing down my face and I was screaming at him. I felt so guilty and after everything I had done to her, I deserved to die. I would've died happily knowing I was protecting her from that beast of a father.

"Why Ash? Why did you let me walk away!?"

"If you had stayed, he would have killed you." He wrapped a brotherly arm around my shoulders and pulled my sobbing body into his.

Why? Why couldn't I have been the one who had been in her situation?
