We Can Leave It All Behind
These are my confessions
Vero felt someone gently shaking her awake but she chose to ignore it and turn back over to her other side. The shaking got more violent and she had to give into whoever was trying to wake her up. To her surprise, it was neither CC nor Andy. It was Ashley.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty." He smiled down on her.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up slowly. "What time is it?" She wondered aloud.
Ashley glanced at his phone. "Noon." He confirmed.
Vero looked alarmed. "Noon?! Already?! Shit, I totally didn't mean to sleep that late."
"You were up late, weren't you?" Ashley asked, sitting down on the bed next to her.
Vero looked at Ashley with skepticism clear in her blue eyes. "How did you know I was up really late?"
Ashley stood up from the bed and pulled Vero up with him. "Andy told me. He stays up until you go to sleep to make sure you're okay. You didn't know that?"
Vero didn't really know what to make of this. It was actually really sweet of Andy to care about her so much that he would stay up even until close to three or four in the morning just to make sure she's okay.
"Where is Andy and the guys anyway?" Vero asked, changing the subject. She wasn't really great on the whole topic of emotions.
"Out somewhere." Could Ashley be any more vague in his answer?
Vero just rolled her eyes at him. "Of course they're 'out somewhere'. So, um, has Andy told you anything else about me?" Vero was genuinely curious as to what Andy had said to Ashley and possibly the other band members about his feelings for her.
Ashley sighed. Vero could tell he had a lot to tell. He walked her over to the couch in the living area and sat her down. He sat down next to her and began. "He first told me how much he enjoys seeing you dripping wet in a towel."
"Ashley!" Vero smacked his arm, rather forcefully, and could feel her cheeks heating up.
Ashley laughed. "It's true! He told me that! But okay, I'll get into the more mushy romantic shit now. As I already told you, he stays up at night to make sure you're okay. He checks up on you sometimes during the night to make sure you're still breathing. He gets that paranoid about you sometimes. He loves your laugh, your smile, your eyes, the way you look at him, and even the way you write about him. He says that no one has ever been able to understand him more than you seem to understand him. Then he told me about how you got mad at him. And about CC. He refused to speak to CC for a solid week almost after that happened. If anything happened to you, I'm pretty sure he might die."
Vero could feel her heart swelling with each word Ashley spoke. Her love for Andy just grew more and more as she heard about how much he actually cared for her. She never, in her entire life, ever thought that she would get the chance to be with Andy. All the countless nights she spent crying over him were finally becoming worth it. It was a fulfilling feeling to know that you may have just found your real, true soul mate.
It was a feeling she had never felt before. His personality, his looks, him. She had never felt so close to someone or trusted someone so much before. She liked the feeling of having a guy like that. She never really trusted guys before. Andy made her learn how to trust guys. Andy was the reason why she was still alive. Andy was the reason for her tears, every breath that escaped her lips, every laugh, and every fiber in her being reached to him, desperate to cling to him and never let go.
Realization.
She had come to a realization. She had known she couldn't stay mad at him forever. And now she was realizing that Andy was feeling everything she was feeling for him but for her.
"Where's Andy?" She demanded to know.
Ashley stretched on the couch. All he said was "You'll see him tonight."
"Good morning, sleeping beauty." He smiled down on her.
