Die for You

Rose's POV:

"So let me get this straight. You came all the way here, because Andy hasn't taken the breakup so well, and you want me, the person who broke up with him, to help him. And you're asking me to do this at," I glanced at my phone, "2:30 in the fucking morning!"

"Easy. For the record, I wasn't expecting to talk to you this late, but someone didn't come home until two in the fucking morning," he mimicks, looking particularly smug, one of the many sides of Ashley Purdy that I have not missed.

I sigh and lean against the back of my chair, trying to process this information. Apparently, Andy hasn't taken our breaking up well (as if I have) and the guys are just worried about him. Now, nobody knows why we broke up, but the guys are suspicious about how it was out of the blue. Giving them the idea that I still have feelings for Andy, which for the record, I do. I'm just not allowed to act on them, fucking parents.

"What do you want me to do?" I ask in exasperation, "time will heal a broken heart, not a reunion with his exgirlfriend."

Ash takes my hands in his and forces me to meet his intense gaze, "yes, but you guys aren't meant to breakup. You shouldn't be his 'exgirlfriend' you should stil be his girlfriend. He'd take you back in a heartbeat, just talk to him, he hasn't been the same since you left."

I look away and blink back my tears, my heart breaking a little bit more at how utterly heartbroken Andy must be. I want to go to him, but all the ups and downs throughout our relationship just hasn't been fair to him, he deserves better. He deserves Juliet.

I pull my hands out of Ashley's grasp and swallow the lump forming in my throat, "Andy has Juliet, talk to her about this, not me."

"What?" He asks, truly sounding confused. I abruptly u stand up, tears leaking out of he corners of my eyes as I shout: "Andy and fucking perfect Juliet Simms! The love of his life!"

Ashley stands up as well, looking more confused than ever, "they aren't dating, Juliet's been helping him get back on his feet, that's all I," he tries to explain.

"By fucking him," I hiss before I can stop it.

"Oh for the love of God, Andy loves you! You Rose, not fucking Juliet! He misses you, but he thinks you had your reasons for breaking up, which I know you didn't. So grow a pair and get him back! It's breaking you both being apart!" He shouts, and I flinch at the intensity of his voice before it settles in.

And then i break down crying, sinking to my knees, my head in my hands as I let it all go. Ashley looks stunned by my whirlwind enotions, but comforts me nonetheless, murmuring soothing words, although they are practically useless if they aren't from Andy.

"My parents," I mumble, barely audibly.

"What?"

I take a deep breath, "my parents threatened to withdraw their funding for school if I continued to date Andy."
