Studded collars...

"Words of anger and always words of truth..."

A sudden beeping sound awoke me, making me groan, and look at the clock. It was 20 to 7 in the morning, and I sighed, flinging my legs over the side of the bed, and stood up. I was wearing Ashley's Tee-shirt, and I sighed, looking at the un disturbed person next to me. I smiled, and sat back down on the bed, placing one hand on his shoulder. "Ash baby, time to get up.." I said, softly. He groaned, and turned over, facing away from me. "Ashley we need to go to the airport, we're going to help Andy."
"He can help himself..." He groaned, putting a pillow over his head. "Ash sweetheart, you either get up and get ready, or I make you." I said, and he just lay there, and ignored me, shutting his eyes again. I sighed, and lay beside him, getting closer and closer to his face. "....ASHLEY!!!" I yelled, making him jump and fall off the bed. I laughed as he sat there rubbing his elbow, a small pout on his face.

"That's not nice."
"Well I did warn you." I said, getting up and kissing his cheek lightly. "Come on sweetie, get dressed so we can meet Andy. He needs to go and see Mai." I said, and he nodded, getting up and going into the bathroom. I had already washed, so I decided to get dressed. I put on a guns and rose's crop top, a pair of ripped skinny jeans, BVB wristbands, my R necklace, and my white doc martins. I gave myself a simple hairstyle, and just plain make-up. Ashley soon reappeared with a pair of black jeans, and a band tee-shirt. He brushed his hair, and just let it flop into his eyes. I grabbed my suitcase that I packed the night before, and Ashley grabbed him. We left the house, and got in the car, on the way to Andy's.

We pulled up to Andy's house, and I hopped out. Before I even got to the door he was walking towards me with his suitcase in his hand. "Come on Andy, lets go." I said, and he put his suitcase in the boot, and sat in the back of the car. I got back in the drivers seat, and stepped on it. I looked in the rear view mirror at Andy. He had on jeans and a hoodie, and has his hair curly and in his face. His eyes were red and puffy from the lack of sleep and tears that had fallen. We drove their in silence, and we were soon there, and we brought tickets, and waited for our flight. "So where about does her mom live?" Andy asked me, talking for the first time that day. "Ermm....I got an address off Dan, but he said he's not sure if she's moved or not, but I don't think she would of."
"You mean your not really clear on where she is?" He said, staring at me.

"Not really, but we'll find her, it's not the end of the world." I said, and he sighed, looking away from me. We finally boarded the plane, and I fell asleep on Ashley's shoulder.

----------------------------------------------------------

We got off the plane, and rented a car, and sped off into the nearby neighbourhood. I looked at the little piece of paper. "I think it might be down there." I said, turning down a street. After about an hour of driving we ended up beside a field, completely lost. Andy got out of the car and slammed the door, stomping off and lighting a cigarette. I sighed, and looked at Ashley. I'll go to him, try and calm him down," I said, and he nodded, taking a swig of water. I walked over to Andy and stood beside him. "Listen Andy, We'll find her eventually, It'll just take time-"
"We don't fucking have time! I fucked up big time and I need her back!" He snapped, stubbing out his cigarette. I stared. I could get the truth out of him, I just needed to make him angry. "You don't need her." I said, and he stared at me. "I do. I was stupid to even fucking let her go! She was mine, and I could of forgiven her and she'd be in my arms! I said to her that I wanted something normal in my life! I've now realised I don't want anything normal! Id go through hell on earth If I could stay with her! You don't fucking understand! I love her so much that is hurts and I need her!" He shouted, and I smiled. He looked shocked, and stared at me in confusion

"Words of anger are always words of truth, you just need to listen." I said, and he sighed, smiling at me weakly. "Your right. Now then, shall we ask for directions?" He said, and I nodded. Someone on a horse suddenly pulled up, beside us and smiled. "You lot need any help?"
"Yes please, can you tell us where this address is?" I asked, passing him the paper, he looked at the paper, and passed it back. "I do yes. Hope back in your car and I'll take you there. Just follow me." He said, and we nodded, thanking him and following him down a few streets until we came to a house. "Here ya are." He said, and we thanked him, watching him ride off into the sunset.

I knocked on the door, and a woman of about 40 opened the door. I smiled. The woman looked exactly like an older version of Mai. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, is Mai inside?" I asked, and she stared. "Not at the moment, she's out, but you can come inside and wait for her. I'm guessing your here about that boy."
"What boy?"
"That boy...what's his name? Anthony...Andrew...something like that. The one who was with her?" She said, and Andy nodded. "Yeah, that's me." He said, and she smiled. "Well then, you all better come inside and wait for her. She'll be here in a bit. " She said, letting us inside.
