Ashleigh baby, you make me feel so alive
Chapter Eighteen - You're The Reason I Still Try
Andy's POV
***a week later***
I walked into the living room to see leelee half naked getting dressed.
"ANDY!!" She screamed.
I immediately covered my eyes. "Sorry! I didn't think you would be awake."
"I am going out today,"
I showed the confusion on my face, "where!?"
She looked at me. Scared to speak, "Ashley's flat."
I sighed, "apartment! And why!? After what he did to you."
She looked at me. "I am going to talk to him like an adult"
She grabbed her purse and left without saying goodbye.

Ashley POV
She sat opposite me at my dining table enjoying the carbonara I made. I slowly built up my courage.
"Leelee?" She looked up. Listening. "I can't believe I treated you like shit, I nearly let you slip through my fingers. I will never let that happen again. Without you I'm a pathetic mess." She smiled warmly. I knelt on the floor. "Ashleigh Crystalle-Cloe Biersack I am hopelessly in love with you, and its the kind of love I want forever. Will you marry me?"
Tears formed in her eyes as she remained silent, she grabbed her bag and ran out.
Great Ash! You scared her away.
My phone buzzed. It was a text from leelee.
I didn't want my next words to be my gibberish! I need some time 2 think. :3 see you tomoz cutie :3 x x x.

Ashleigh POV
I sat in the cafe waiting for ella, juliet, sammi and lauren. The bvb brides.
"She's in lala land!" Sammi's voice brought me back to my reality and smiles and hugs were exchanged.
"So what's up babe?" Ella smiled her concern.
"Me and Ash never broke up, I went round his yesterday for dinner." I stammered.
"Oh! Okay," sammi uttered.
"Why didn't you tell andy?" Juliet asked.
"Why do you think? He beat the shit outta Ash last week!" Lauren sighed.
"That's not all, he proposed." I looked at my hands waiting for the bombarding amount of questions that would be thrust towards me. When nothing came I looked up. They were speechless. "Please say something!"
"What did you say?" Sammi stammered.
I buried my head in my hands, "nothing. I ran out. I didn't know how to answer! I wanted to say yes but I kept thinking that it was too soon."
"Ashley Purdy wants to commit!?" Lauren breathed.
"Holy shit!" Ella exclaimed.
"Babe just follow your heart! That's the best thing you could do right now!" Julied soothed.
I tried to think but my head was spinning.
"Babe. What's wrong?" Ella asked.
I got up to leave, "I need to go," I briskly walked out and got to Ash's apartment block. I walked to the stairs and made the climb to his door. My fist hovered over his door.
The door opened and all I saw was Ashley's shocked face.
"Leelee!?" He smiled.
"Ash I..."
