Ashleigh baby, you make me feel so alive
Chapter Three - I'm Nothing When Darkness Follows Me
Andy POV
John stormed onto the bus looking seriously pissed off and leelee hid behind me, she hated aggression. She never told me why but I can guess it has something to do with her bitch of a birth-mother.
Jinxx screwed up his face in confusion, "what's up man!?"
John sighed, "some haters managed to sneak into the venue early hours of this morning and destroy all of the electronics. Lights and sound ev-"
"So just use the back ups," C.C shrugged.
John glared at C.C for interrupting, "if you had let me finish chris!" C.C winced. "Lights and sound EVEN the back ups. I have been phoning around and we are going to have to wait a week before we can do anything." Everyone grumbled as john walked away.
I pulled my phone out and loaded twitter up.
@andybvb: just want 2 say thanx to the immature haterz that have cnclled our shows 4 a week, hope your life is now fulfilled! #mothafuckerz
I put my phone away and turned to see Ashleigh still behind me, "leelee its okay no one is shouting or angry," I got down to her level which is hard when you are six foot three and she is only four foot eleven! I crouched and ignored the discomfort, "leelee?"
Her hands moved away from her face, "yes?" Her voice was tiny, barely a whisper.
I smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear, "its okay now, no one is angry. Do you want to go shopping sis?" I saw her try to conceal a grin.
"We'll take that as a yes!" Jake cheered.
Ashley POV
Whenever I saw Ashleigh like that I just wanted to scoop her up and take her away so she would be safe. I desperately wanted to hug her but Andy was doing it for me. Damn. She looked over at me and blushed, why did she blush? What was she thinking? I shook my head and grabbed my phone, sliding it into my pocket I followed the guys out towards the city of San Francisco.
Ashleigh POV
We walked into hot topic and a bunch of girls started screaming, I grabbed Ashley's hand and dragged him down. We hid in a circular rack of skinny jeans by criminal damage.
"Thank you," he whispered. His face was so close to mine, I could feel the warmth of his breath on the side of my face.
"Umm Ash I-" My eyes closed instinctively, there was a warm pressure on my lips. I opened them. Ashley was kissing me! What the fuck!!!!!! I kissed him back, my hand went to his neck and then to his hair. He smiled during the kiss which made me smile. Then we both ended up in a giggle fit. We pulled away and tried to control our laughter. Suddenly the skinnys slid across and stood there was Andy. SHIT!
"And I suppose deserting us to deal with a bunch of hormonal teenagers that want to rape us is hilarious!?" I looked at Ash who was looking at me, we both nodded and then carried on with our giggle fit. Jinxx and Jake both joined Andy to watch us, C.C took a picture. My phone beeped after a few seconds and I got out of the rail to check it.
@ccbvb: #gigglefit in @hottopic @ashleypurdy and @leeleeCCB admiring the skinnys!
I laughed and retweeted it, the picture was really funny so I screen munched it and saved it as my wallpaper.
Ashley POV
While Andy was keeping leelee busy me and the guys were shopping for her birthday in two weeks. She would be 18. Wow. I thought back to the kiss, that was the best kiss ever. I'm glad Andy didn't catch us though, if he did then I would be back in missouri by tonight and there would be an advert on craigslist for a new bassist. I picked up some jewellery that I knew she would like and some clothes too, I then saw this awesome ring (not like that!). It had a black star on it! She would love it. I love that we are into the same things, its so easy to buy stuff for her.
After an hour of shopping we all headed back to the tour bus were everyone went off to do their own thing, well Ashleigh went off to do her own thing. Everyone else went off to wrap the presents in the back room.
Ashleigh POV
I was writing in my diary.
"WE DON'T BELONG so far apart, we should be close and I know that IF WE STAND TOGETHER WE WILL BE UNBROKEN. I will LET SHADOWS DIE SO I CAN FEEL ALIVE next to you and your beating BLACK HEART OF CHROME AND BATTLE SCARS. WHEN I HEAR YOUR CRIES PRAYING FOR light I WILL BE THERE to RESSURECT THE SUN. I AM THE CHOSEN WRETCHED AND DIVINE to care about the times you frown. And LIKE A BIRD WHO'S WINGS ARE BROKEN, YOU LIVE WITHOUT DIRECTION so I will guide you to your dreams and desires until the day comes that i find the courage to say to you "I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN EVER SCREAM". For those who criticise you and put you down do not cry when they open your scars, sit with me and together WE STITCH THESE WOUNDS with love and over come ALL YOUR HATE towards the DEVILS CHOIR that taunts you and makes every day harder. I will protect you from the dreams that make you think you have LOST IT ALL. Our life is short and our DAYS ARE NUMBERED so TAKE YOUR HAND IN MINE ITS OURS TONIGHT. But IN THE END I can only wish to be the one who feels your touch. After today YOUR LIPS HAVE BURIED ME. And when I sleep, echoed in my mind is your face, YOUR BEAUTIFUL REMAINS. now that I SEE THE TRUTH, I'VE GIVEN YOU MY HEART TO BREAK. And so now you know we GOT SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR. We will RISE FROM THE ASHES and fly together ON LEATHER WINGS, WE KNOW OUR WINGS ARE FLAWED but no body's perfect. And that knowledge with the love from my heart can be your PERFECT WEAPON"
I smiled at my use of word play.
Jinxx cleared his throat, I slammed my notepad shut and smiled at him. "Hey leelee,"
"Hey!" I smiled.
"What happened today?" He raised an eyebrow which was hilarious, I tried to contain my laughter for the sake of the conversation.
"What do you mean? We went shopping! Did you hit your head again?" I grinned.
He smiled remembering last time, "no I mean what happened with Ash?"
My stomach flipped at the mention of his name, boy have I got it bad! "Umm I dunno. I just remember me and him laughing a lot and shopping why?"
"He is quiet... Too quiet." He slitted his eyes as he said it and I burst out laughing.
"Maybe he is thinking." I shrugged.
His eyes widened, "holy shit its the end of the world!" I doubled over again in hysterics. "Are you sure nothing happened because he has been listening to this song ever since he got back?"
"What song?"
He shrugged, "it goes - duh duh duh duh dada duh duh duh duh"
I smiled at my favourite song, "its called Ashley by Escape the Fate."
Jinxx nodded, "how vain of him to listen to a song like that,"
I nodded and kept my thoughts to myself.
