Prologue;
He stroked her face softly; he couldn't ignore the pain and hurt in her eyes. "It's alright...Shhh...Don't cry. We will get through this" his voice was barely a whisper as he pulled her into a tight hug, never again would he let this girl go. She was his everything; nothing meant more to him then her and his band. Speaking of his band, he looked up from her shoulder and saw that they were watching him with soft smiles on their faces.
"I love you"
"I love you too"
Chapter 1;
Ashley walked onto the tour bus and threw himself onto the bed, a frustrated groan escaping his mouth. He was anxious to play tonight, especially since the girl he liked was going to be there. Yes, it was official. Ashley Purdy, the Ashley Purdy was falling in love and it frustrated him. Andy watched his bandmate from his comfy spot and chuckled softly, "If you're so anxious to see her Ash why don't you ask security to go find her" he rolled his eyes as Ashley's head suddenly popped up, a shit eating grin on his face. "Andy! Why didn't you tell me this before!" Andy chuckled, "Because I wanted to see how frustrated it would get you. And I can now say...it has gotten you very frustrated" he chuckled and Ashley chuckled a pillow at one of his best friend's head.
"Hey! Just be happy it was me who gave you this advice and not CC or Jinxx or Jake because they would really never let you live it down" Andy grinned and Ashley rolled his eyes, "Jeez thanks. Now I see why you are my top number one best friend" he laughed and opened the tour bus door, getting a fresh cold breeze which helped him calm down. "Invite her back to the tour bus! I want to talk to her" Andy grinned as Ashley gave him the finger as he left. "He is so whipped" Andy chuckled and started playing a Batman game.
Ashley looked around for a security guard and after five minutes he finally found one by the food truck, "Hey! I need your help" He smiled softly and the security guard nodded. "Sure what can I do?". "Well, there is a girl in the line over there I know. Her name is Rachel Bennett. I need you to get her out of the crowd for me, here is a picture to help you" he handed the man a picture of Rachel from his wallet and grinned as he saw her smiling face. "Sure sir, I'll get her now." Ashley beamed, "Great. Bring her to the tour bus will you?" He nodded again and quickly disappeared to go down to the crowd.
Ashley practically skipped back to the tour bus and wasn't all that surprised when he heard Jake's voice, "Here comes lover boy!" Ashley rolled his eyes and laughed, "So what! I'm in love and proud about it" Andy looked up at Ashley then looked at the others, "Well boys this is the day. I never thought I would see it coming...But our man Ash here is finally in love" he grinned and Ashley rolled his eyes. "Well I have been dating her for 5 months" he grinned as his bandmates eyes widened, "What? And you didn't think to inform us of this information?" Jinxx grinned and slapped Ash on his back. "Nope" he said, making sure to pop the 'p'. "Because I knew you would make a deal out of it."
"Well congratulations Ash" he chuckled softly and grinned at his bandmates as a knock on the door was heard, "Sir! I have Rachel here" Ashley practically jumped out of his seat to get the door, causing an outbreak of laughter to erupt in the guys. "Thanks" he grinned and watched as his beautiful girlfriend got onto the bus. As soon as she came into view of the guys, their mouths dropped and eyes widened. She was gorgeous. She had red hair which hung to her mid-waist, her eyes were full with black eyeliner and mascara causing them to stand out more, she was pale but it suited her. And to top off her beauty her lips were plump with bright red lipstick on. "Hey babe" Ashley kissed her cheek and put an arm around her waist, a small blush creeping up in her cheeks. "Hey Ash" she grinned up at him and in that moment. The band could see that they were irrevocably in love.
"You've met the guys. Jake, Jinxx, CC and Andy" Ashley grinned at their expressions as she said her hello's to them. "Want a beer Rachel?" Jake grinned and grabbed one out for her, her eyes lingered on the can and shook her head. "No thanks, maybe later" she smiled sweetly at Jake before turning back to Ashley. "I need to talk to you...in private" she chewed her lip as Ashley nodded, his expression turning from pure and utter happiness to nervousness. "Okay, follow me" he smiled and brought her to one of the bedrooms in the back, as she walked in Ashley turned to the guys and bit his lips. Andy stood up and gave him an encouraging smile. "Go on" he mouthed. The door shut and the band were quiet to listen closely for any sign of voices.
After a few minutes the guys had dispersed and were doing their own thing. Andy was currently kicking Jinxx's ass at Batman, Jake and CC were having their own quiet conversation when all of a sudden a loud thump came from the bedroom, the guys head's whipped to the door, eyes wide. What happened? Chairs shuffled as they all began to move when the door suddenly opened and Rachel came running out, her expression unreadable as she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What happened Rachel?" Andy asked, his deep voice bringing her out of her thoughts. "Ashley fainted" The guys looked at each other before laughing, they stumbled to the bedroom to see that in fact Ashley had fainted and was now laying on the floor. "What did you tell him to make him faint?" The guys all looked at Rachel curiously.
"I'm pregnant"
