You wake up in the middle of the night breathing heavily and shaking with fright. You just had a nightmare so bad you were paralysed for a few minutes. You looked around, you are still on the tour bus, Andy, Jake and Jinxx are asleep. But you have lost your friends CC and Ashley.
You stumble out of bed to find Ashley writing a song and you see your two friends and CC sleeping on top each other. You run to Ashley tears dripping down your face... He looks up and sees you crying. Ashley drops his bass and motions for you to come and sit on his lap. So you do... Ashley pulls you into a hug and holds you in his strong arms.
"I love you," he says
"And I'm always here to protect you" Ashley whispers into your ear. He gently brushes away your tears and kisses you softly on the lips. He picks you up and carries you over to his bed again. But this time instead of leaving you his climbs in with you.
"I'm your teddy bear tonight... Cuddle me" Ashley whispers wrapping his arms around your waist. You look up and kiss him on the lips snaking your arms around his neck. Ashley pulls you closer to him studying your face bathed in soft silver moon light.
"I love you Ashley Purdy" you say closing your eyes. You eventually fall into sleep listening to his rhythmic heart beat.
