It was a cool late Autumn afternoon. Grey clouds covered the sky, threatening to let loose all it's rain. A small wind had started to pick up, causing the auburn leaves on the ground to scurry along in little piles. But inside in the large house, being shared by the five members of Black Veil Brides, it was warm and toasty. 
It was also a very cheery day, as both Danny Worsnop and Ben Bruce had popped along for a visit. They were also joined by Matt Good. Neither Danny nor Matt had seen Andy in a long time. 
"Oy, its been too long it has mate!" Danny greeted cheerfully when the black-clad frontman answered the door. Ben could be seen standing sheepishly behind him, rubbing the back of his head. As the two came bounding in, Matt could be seen, sprinting along the foot-path breathlessly. 
"Don't forget me!" he panted as he reached the front door, bending over to catch his breath. Andy laughed, pulling his friend in and taking one last look around before shutting the door. "Look who decided to call in!" Andy called out happily as he entered the living room, where Jake, Jinxx and CC sat bored on the couch. The room was large, big enough to comfortably fit at least double the amount in the band. The walls were painted a light creamy colour, and were covered in several framed photos of the boys, which varied from photo-shoots, to fun outings, to album covers.  On one side of the room, there was a long black couch, with a matching arm chair on one side and 
out of a small mahogany cupboard that sat in the corner of the room, on the other side of the black leathery couch. On the other side of the room, there was a large fire-place, that was currently not lit. Several awards and a few more framed photos sat on the mantle piece above it. Just over that, was a long rectangular mirror. Dark fuzzy rugs covered the also creamy coloured carpet. 
The three musicians  smiled as their buddies followed Andy into the room. "Where's Ashley?" Matt asked, as everyone but CC noticed that he wasn't around. 
"Oh he's gone out with Kina. Said it was urgent.." the tall drummer replied, flipping a wooden drumstick with a smooth flick of his wrist. "Mhm I suppose a boner is urgent" Andy joked. The room exploded with laughter as he pulled out a bottle of Jack Daniels Whiskey out of the alcohol cupboard. 

                                          *             *                * 


Ashley Purdy smiled as he saw Kina, his current girlfriend, appear between the tall tree's of the national park. He quickened his pace, leaves crunching under his dark, tightly laced boots. He wrapped his arms around her waist as he reached her, pressing his lips to hers. "Hey baby" he breathed, nuzzling his face into her shoulder, and leaving butterfly kisses along her neck. 
"Ashley...." she spoke softly, but with a tone that Ashley had never heard her use before, at least, not to him. He began to worry. Was she sick? Had something happened? He pulled away, but held both her hands, giving them a tight squeeze. "Ashley I love you, you know that..." she began, freeing one of her hands and twirling a piece of her long blonde hair. "Kina, whats wrong, you're scaring me now..." Ashley demanded, squeezing her hand once more.
"I... I think we just... stay friends... see other people....". 
Ashley froze, dropping Kina's hand like it was on fire, his heart thumping harder against his ribs. He took a few long deep breathes, before croaking out a stammered "what...?". He searched her eyes for some kind of sign that she was just playing cruel joke, that everything was okay and that she still loved him as much he as loved her. But she wasn't joking. "I don't love you anymore..." she pressed on firmly, backing away slightly. 
With that, Ashley turned around, tears stinging his eyes, threatening to spill over. He blinked them away furiously as he stormed away, not even bothering to say goodbye. "Why should I say goodbye..." he muttered, not him paying attention to where he was going. "She just shattered my heart into a million pieces". 
The rain that was gathering in the dark clouds in the sky, began to let loose. First a slow and gentle drizzle, then it began pounding down heavily, soaking Ashley, almost to the bone. He sat down on a cold, wet bench, wising he brought a thicker jacket with him. He put his head in his hands, sighing as he began to shiver."Where did I go wrong?" he asked the emptiness around him. "Everything was so perfect..". He sighed, knowing he wasn't going to get an answer.
"I'd better head home, before I freeze to death" he mumbled, standing up. He couldn't see very far in front of him, nor could he feel his fingers anymore. His breath came out in a white puff in front of him, before disappearing just as quickly as it showed up. 
He tried walking back the way he had come, but the fog that had now settled in the park, made it impossible to navigate his way back. He couldn't tell if he was going backwards or forwards, right or left. Ashley found himself only getting more and more lost in the park.
He slumped heavily against a tree, sliding down the bark until he was sitting on the wet and muddy grass, letting his tears fall freely. He lay down on the grass, not caring anymore. He could feel his phone vibrating in his jean pocket, the ringtone all too well familiar. He pulled the phone out shakily, seeing Kina's picture flashing on the screen. 
"FUCK OFF!" he screamed, throwing the phone away from him. He heard it splash into a puddle, the ringing slowly stopping. Ashley continued to lie in the cold, shivering harder then ever. As everything began to fade to black, he swore he could hear his name being called...

                                                              *      *      * 

Andy paced from one end of the living room to the other, his mind, a nervous wreck. Everyone but him and Jinxx, had gone out searching for Ashley. It had gotten dark and a storm had began to rage outside. Normally, the bassist would have called or sent a text to say he wouldn't be back. He always did. But when Kina rang sounding hysterical, and Ashley didn't get in touch, they all began to worry. 
"Andy, you gotta calm down, they'll find him, don't worry!" Jinxx spoke, in a soft and normally reassuring tone, placing his hands firmly on Andy's shoulders and pressing him into a chair. But today, it just left Andy more stressed, as he tugged the ends of his hair out of frustration. 
"But what if I don't get to see him ever again? What if I never get to tell him that I -" Andy began, as he began to feel panicked, his voice getting louder. "You will get to tell him, don't think like that!" Jinxx cut in, as he pulled out several pillows and blankets from a cupboard in the hallway, and laying them out in the living room. 
Just then, the front door slammed open, and in came a sodden Jake Pitts, carrying an even more soaked Ashley. He placed him on the couch, pulling off his wet jacket and wrapping him up in blankets. 
"Jake whats wrong with him, why isn't he awake, why isn't he-" Andy started, jumbling his words together in fear. Jake stood up straight, and turned around. He put his hands on Andy shoulder's, as he tried to calm the thin man down. But when Andy continued to panic, he sighed, dropped his hands, and slapped him hard across the face.
Andy stopped talking, holding hand to the spot where Jake's palm had collided with his cheek. "I'm sorry..." Jake whispered after a few moments of an awkward silence, before leaving the room. 


                                                            *              *           *

It had been hours since Ashley had been brought back to the house, and he still not woken up. He lay, tucked up with several thick blankets and fluffed up pillows on the couch. Andy sat on a chair, that had been dragged in from the dining room, beside Ashley, and not once had he left his side. He reached out and ran his fingers through the bassists matted hair, before resting the back of his hand on his forehead and sighing. 
Jake knocked on the door, before he pulled up a chair beside Andy and sitting next to him. "Hey..." he whispered softly. Andy nodded to him, running his fingers through Ashley's hair once more. 
"Andy, its late, you should get some rest. I'll stay here with Ashley" he pressed on, concerned for how long Andy had gone without sleep. But the tall, lanky male just shook his head, still not looking at Jake. "Andy..." Jake continued, but he was cut off. 
"No Jake! I can't! I won't!" he croaked staring at Jake with a hard look. "I have to be here when he wakes up!" Jake sighed. "I'll come and get you the second he wakes up I promise Andy. But you really need to get some rest..." "No!" Andy snapped. "Jake... I love him..." he whispered in a softer tone. "I love him more than anyone else in this world... I have to be here when he wakes up so I can tell him...".
Just then, Ashley blinked his dark brown eyes open. "Andy... you love me?" he asked as he slowly sat up. Jake stood up, patting Andy's shoulders. "I'll leave you two alone" he added as he left the room. 
"Andy... are you in love with me?".
Andy felt his heart start hammering inside his chest, butterflies suddenly flying around in his tummy. He nodded slowly, feeling his cheeks flush a deep rose red. He stood up to leave. Ashley probably found it creepy. Disturbing even! He turned, ready to leave, when he felt Ashley's luke warm hand grab onto his. 
"Wait... Andy... please stay... I... I love you too"  Ashley whispered, so softly, even Andy struggled to hear him. Andy turned and faced him, studying his features carefully. His pale lips, his long tangled hair, his dark fudge coloured eyes. 
Suddenly, Ashley pulled Andy down on top of him, crashing his lips against Andy's, wrapping his arms around his neck.
Andy placed one arm around Ashley's waist,the other hand laying gently against his chest. He could feel the older male's heart skipping like a rabbits, banging quickly against his palm. 
Ashley pulled away first for air, his chest rising and falling quickly beneath Andy's palm. "So even good things can come out of the rain huh?" Ashley giggled, before pressing his lips to Andy's once more. Andy smiled into the kiss, before pulling away and curling up with Ashley for the rest of the night.

THE END!!!
