They Don't Need to Understand (Andley Love Story)

Andy's P.O.V.

I am sitting in my car outside my house. I just got back from Jinxx's house and I can't believe I found out Ashley loves me just like I love him. Now for the hard part, telling Juliet. This is going to hurt her, I know she'll cry, but not even seeing what Ashley and I could become is killing not only me but him as well. I look at my wrist and I feel my stomach clench knowing I'm about to do this, I will always care about her, but I know I don't love her. I see the note in my cup holder and that's what gives me the courage to get out of my car. I walk up to my front door for what will probably be the last time. I open the door and immediately she's there.
"Hey babe," she pecks my cheek, "where have you been? I was getting worried."
I sigh knowing I have to get this over with, "Juliet we need to talk."
The smile on her face is instantly gone as she stutters over her words, "Oh...o....okay?"
I sit her down on the couch and take a deep breath. She takes my hand, and that makes this so much harder. I go to look at her and tell her but I almost lose my lunch when I see her eyes are glossy with tears of fear in her eyes. I almost back out, I almost decide not hurting her is worth my pain, but then I think about Ashley. I pull his note out of my pocket and look down at it.
"Wh...What's that?" she asks, her voice shaky from holding in her tears.
"Juliet," I pause and look at her, "this is a note from.... Ashley," another breath so I don't lose my nerve and tell her it's not important, "I have been over at Jinxx's place and Ashley was there too. We both ended up there because we had a lot on our minds, but what neither of us knew was that our stress was the same. In this letter that Jinxx made Ashley write, and the letter of mine that Ashley has contain our true feelings. I am in love with Ashley and he is in love with me. The reason I am telling you this is because not knowing what it's like to be with him is killing me. I care about you Jules, but I can't for the life of me remember the last time I felt about you the way I do about him."
I watch as my final words push her over the edge and the tears roll down her face...


Ashley's P.O.V.

I can't believe I'm alone again! As soon as Andy finished reading my letter and our eyes connected he bolted out the door so fast that he didn't even say goodbye. He went home to her! He's probably laying in bed with her right now. Why!?!?!? When will he be mine?
