My Ashley Purdy Love Story *Not Slash*

(Next morning)
I woke up because I was too hot. I opened my eyes and instantly knew why. Ashley was practically on top of me. I slid out of the bunk, picked up my panties and his shirt and put them on. I picked up my skirt and a quick look at it showed that there was no hope of me wearing it until it got fixed. I thought about how it lost all of its buttons and what followed and smirked. I looked at where Ash’s shirt stopped on my body. After a moment’s deliberation, I decided that it was long enough. I made my way to the front of the bus, being careful to not wake anyone up. I got the front lounge and stopped. The bus was moving, we were driving someplace and all my clothes were left behind.
“Don’t worry; we got your clothes from the car before we left. Your friend is nice.”
I breathed a sigh of relief. “I didn’t expect you to be up, Andy.”
“Yeah well I generally wake up earlier in the day anyways, but after everything that happened, I had a hard time sleeping.”
“Oh, okay. You slept though, right?”
"Not enough but I’ll be fine. Today is a travel day anyways.”
I grabbed half a bagel that he pointed out and sat down next to him.
“So what’s the deal with you being all set up to go with us, your friend acted like she expected us come get your clothes. If I hadn’t been there and seen all that happen and the shock on your face before you saw me come up behind him, would have thought you had orchestrated the whole thing.”
I turned and looked at him with wide eyes and an open mouth. He didn’t really think that, did he?
“Don’t worry, unless you are a flawless actor, better than I’ve ever seen, there is no way you could have faked all the emotion and reactions you had last night.”
I continued to stare at him with my mouth hanging open. Something in the way I was looking at him must have erased any last shreds of doubt he had, because he shifted and asked, “So why were you all packed up?”
“I had nowhere to go. My friend lost her job and I had lost mine shortly after I bought the ticket for your show. Our landlord kicked us and for the past couple weeks we have been living in her car, doing odd jobs to help pay for gas and food. Two or three days ago she came up with the idea that I should wait by the bus so that maybe I could meet you and maybe get lucky and lose my virginity to one of my idols. She doesn’t mind your music, but she never was interested in knowing all she could about you guys, so she doesn’t know that most of you are taken. She wanted me to, while I was talking to you, to explain my situation and sing for you, in hopes that you would let me tour with you and maybe sing some back-up parts, like Juliet’s part in ‘Lost It All.’ I wasn’t planning on forcing anything though. If it came up in conversation I would tell you guys, but I wasn’t going to ask for anything.”
He smiled and said, “What about her, what is she going to do?”
“She is going to her mom’s place; she couldn’t before because she didn’t feel safe with her dad in the house. He abused her as a child and her mom never found out. Until, that is, this past Christmas when her mom came to visit and I accidentally split the beans. It turns out that her mom came partially because she wanted to tell her that she was divorcing her dad, to her face instead of over the phone.”
“Oh wow”
“Yeah, now that her father is out of the picture she is going to live with mom for awhile and originally I was going to stay there as well, but that changed, obviously.”
“Wait a second; you said earlier that you were a virgin.”
“Yep”
“Those thugs were going to take it.”
“Yep”
“You were saving it for Ashley or someone that that finally proved he was worthy and those miscreants almost took it from you!!!!”
Right then, as he said it out loud, it really hit me what almost happened and everything came crashing down and I just broke down and started bawling.
“Sh, it is okay, you are safe. Nothing happened with those guys. And now you are in a totally different state than they are,” he said as he wrapped his arms around me and rubbing soothing circles on my back. He continued to hug me until I calmed back down.
“I’m sorry; I should have processed that in my head instead of out loud.”
“It is okay; I needed to cry, to let out the emotions so that I could move on. I don’t regret anything about last night.”
“Good, because you would hurt Ashley if he ever found out you regretted it.”
“Of all that happened last night, everything that I did with him, I would never regret. Even if I ended up pregnant and living as a single mother, I would never regret it.”
“Honestly, if you got pregnant Ashley would at least try to make it work between the two of you. If for some reason, you two didn’t work out, we would take care of you and the baby anyways.”
I smiled and said, “Well that is good to know, but I don’t intend on having a child for a couple more years.”
“You mentioned you sing…”
“Yeah, I sing a bit.”
“Okay, well when everyone wakes up I would like it if you sang for us.”
“Okay, can do,” I replied as I snuggled up to him.
“You don’t mind, do you?” I asked.
“Nope,” Andy replied, putting his arm around me and pulling me closer. I smiled and put my head on his chest as he snuggled down as well. He started humming and after a little we both fell asleep.
