We Are Unbreakable

Rileys POV

As I walked back to Jackson's stall, my phone continuously beeped with messages from Ashley.
'Riley, please talk to me.'
'Call me back, please.'
'I miss you like crazy.'
And so on.
I gave in. He was my husband after all. Even though he wronged me, he was trying damn hard to make it right.
I tapped call and waited for it to go through. He answered on the first ring.
"Riley! Oh my God, thank you for calling me back!" He said he relief.
"Hi Ashley" I said quietly.
"Baby, I miss you so much. I can't take this much longer. Please come home."
"I can't Ash. I have another four weeks on this. We're not even half way. As much as I want to come home and sort this out I can't. I'm not ready to just yet" I explained.
"Well, for what it's worth, it's really good to hear your voice again. I love you Riley. I miss you so much" he said, his voice shaking with nerves.
"I've got to go Ash" I said, tears forming my eyes. I hung up and looked at my phone for a second longer. "I miss you too Ash" I whispered to myself.

Ashleys POV

The day after Riley talked to me for the first time in two weeks, I noticed a whole bunch of videos showing up online that I was being alerted to.
Before I could even click on one, my phone rang.
I looked down at the caller ID and it was Bryan.
"Hi Bryan" I said unamused.
"Well someone is grumpy. Have you seen the videos being posted?!" He said excitedly.
"I was just about to check it out. I keep getting tagged in them."
"You're gonna wanna watch!"
'Okay, okay, give me a sec" I said annoyed.
I found one that looked like good quality and clicked on it.
As I watched, I realised it was Riley singing onstage with Pierre from Simple Plan... I think.
The duo sounded amazing together.
I had a closer look at Riley and noticed the new tattoos on her arms and leg.
"Well?" Bryan pushed.
"She's amazing."
"Can I do a story on it? Would you be able to ask Riley? I haven't been able to contact her" he said confused.
"Umm, neither have I, but I'm sure she'd be fine with it" I said a little hurt that she didn't tell me about this.
"Awesome. I'll try and do it in the next few days. Thanks for consent" he said then hung up.
I dropped my phone to my bed and watched the video again.
Riley looked so different. She looked happy.
I picked up my phone again and texted her.
'Riles. I love you so much and I want you to be happy. I saw your video with Pierre and you are amazing. Do this as long as you need. I just need to know that you're coming home.'
I sent the text and sighed. I miss her.

A little whiles later, CC and Seth showed up at my door.
"Did you guys miss me or something?" I joked as they walked in the door.
"Well, we thought we'd give Kimber some time to herself. Between this one getting in trouble and you, she needed some time."
"Hey! It wasn't that bad" Seth whined.
"Kiddo, it was pretty bad. You're lucky she's not feeling well otherwise you'd be on lock down."
"What do you mean she doesn't feel well?" I asked concerned.
"She's just getting headaches and stuff. Nothing major" he said calmly.
"Does Riley know?"
"They talk most days.I assume she does. Why?" CC asked. Seth's head continuously turning between us.
"Just wondering. I really want Riley to come home."
"Oh not this again" Seth said rolling his eyes."If you need me I'll be with your guitars" he said heading upstairs.
CC started shaking his head. "I'm not liking the attitude that kid is developing."
"I wouldn't worry too much. He'll be twelve this year. Teenager soon. Have fun" I warned.
"Yep. Plus my own kid in July... It's getting scary Ash. But a good scary."
"Wish it was like that right now. A good scary, but its not."
"She'll come home" CC said trying to reassure me.
"But what about all the videos out at the moment with her and Pierre! She'll get offers and deals! She's more talented than she realises. Then she won't come home ever! She'll have too much of a career for me!" I stressed.
"Ash. We have a big career with all those things and we still find time to have wives and girlfriends. I'm sure she'll always make time for you."
"I want her back CC. More than anything..."
"Give her time" he said putting a hand on my shoulder.

Rileys POV

My social media sites were blowing up.
My Instagram had gone from ten thousand to fifty thousand overnight. My Facebook page was a 'Like' now. And my Twitter was just hundreds of hashtags with my video. I hadn't even touched my messages yet.
I spent a solid five hours trying to contain some of it and reply to people, but it kept coming.
I huffed a sigh as I lied down on my bed in the hotel. We were on an off day and just catching up on rest.
"Do you realise how much my appointment book is filling up?" Jackson said after her got off the phone with another new client.
"No, I don't" I said robotically.
"Riley! Everyone is loving my work! I'm gonna have a waiting list soon enough!" He said jumping onto my bed.
I remained silent and uncaring.
"Why aren't you happy about this?" He asked curiously.
"I am, I'm just not in the mood right now" I snapped.
"Can you get off your phone for a sec?"
I rolled my eyes, but dropped my phone to the bed.
"What happened between you and Ash? It's bugging you now, I can see it."
"It's nothing. I just needed time away, but I really miss him."
"Well then maybe you guys can move past whatever it is..."
I stayed quiet. It's what I wanted, but could I trust him?
"Hey! I know what will cheer you up!" He said, all of a sudden perky.
"What?"
"I got approached by a magazine journalist and they looked at my work and what I'd done on you. And they wanna do a cover spread on you and me! Please tell me you'll do this! Your daggers are done, your underboob ouija piece is done and those will really stand out. You have so many tattoos now. All your major ones on the upper body are done. You will look amazing!"
"One condition" I said giving him a small smile.
"Anything!" He said excitedly.
"I want my moms name on my knuckles first and one of my Simple Plan tattoos done before hand."
"Done. Lets get started then" he said grabbing his tattoo gun and setting up in the hotel.
