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

Ashley's P.O.V.

I look at the note in my hand and I know it's not mine. I watched Jinxx switch them and hand them to us, and I know that means Andy has my letter. I'll have to thank Jinxx later for solving my problem, because I would never have been able to tell Andy. I watch him for a moment, as panic crosses his face when he realizes that isn't his letter, which makes me curious as to why he is so alarmed. What could be in here he doesn't want me to see? I open the note curious to see what's bugging him and why it's so bad he doesn't want me to read it...

Jinxx, I need your help. I am 100% sure that I am in love with Ashley. That day he walked into auditions changed my life. I felt my whole body explode with emotion when I looked into his brown eyes. They have never gone away, and to be honest, my feeling for him were the reason Scout and I fought, those feeling were the reason's she thought I was cheating, because in my mind I was. In my mind I was with Ashley, but he always hooked up with all these random girls, and it killed me, so I decided that I would give Juliet a chance, maybe she could numb the pain. And I know he loves me, and I thought I loved her, but recently I have been wondering, did I ever? It kills me to say I love her when in all honesty I don't remember if I do or ever did. Why did we get our nicknames tattooed? Why did we move in? Distraction from my constant thoughts of Ashley? Whatever it was I can't pretend anymore, I can't pretend to love her when my heart has been with Ashley ever since that first day. When I got back from tour, I remember something didn't feel right and I couldn't put my finger on it until I walked in my door and was greeted by Juliet and not Ashley. In the five minutes from the bus to my house I already missed him. Missed his eyes, his smile, his tour bedhead, and just everything. Then seeing him on your front step, with pain in his eyes over whatever it is on his mind, it killed me inside because I didn't know how to fix it, to fix him and make him the Ashley that I love. I SERIOUSLY need your help Jinxx. I need to know if he loves me too.

I feel as if the weight of the world has just been lifted off my shoulder. I look into his blue eyes across the table and see the same relieve reflected in his.
