Andley-Chapter 11

Ashley’s P.O.V.
‘This party is gonna be sick!’ CC screamed into the phone, deafening me.
‘Calm down!’ I replied and put my hand over the phone. ‘Andy, are you almost ready?’ I shouted. That boy always took forever to get ready. ‘Come on, we still need to get our costumes!’
‘I’m ready, stop whining’ He rolled his eyes at me as he walked into the bedroom. ‘Now, put the phone away and lets go.’ He grabbed his keys and pulled me up to my feet. He pulled the phone out of my hand ‘Bye CC, gotta go.’ He said and hung up before throwing the phone on the bed.
We made our way down the stairs, pulled our boots on, grabbed our coats and headed for the car.
‘After you, my lady’ Andy smirked and opened the passenger door for me.
‘Why thank you sir!’ I answered in the girliest voice I could for out of myself and hopped in closing the door behind me. Andy jogged over to the other side of the car and got in. He turned the keys and started the engine.
‘I still hope they have some good costumes left’ I sighed and put my seatbelt on.
Andy pulled the car out of the driveway almost crashing into a streetlight and we sped down the road. The drive wasn’t long, but it felt like it took us centuries to get there. Perhaps it’s because neither of us felt like talking.
‘We’re here!’ Andy clapped his hands and jumped out of the car. There’s the Andy I know and love. He grabbed my hand as soon as I managed to get out of the car and dragged me across the parking lot to get to the shops. ‘Come on!’ He squealed and tugged me harder. He was so excited; his baby blue eyes glistening in the October sun.
‘Alright I’m coming!’ I laughed.
‘That’s what she said!’ He shouted and smiled at me. That joke was so old, yet he loved it so much.
The shop didn’t exactly have a big selection of costumes. No wonder, it was Halloween today after all; all the good ones were gone. Instead there were miscellaneous items of clothing all over the place.
‘I guess we’ll just have to make up our costumes from what is left here’ I sighed.
‘How about I pick out yours and you choose mine Ash?’ Andy grinned. I could tell he was planning something. I looked around and saw a pair of kitty ears in one of the baskets; it gave me an idea.
‘Alright’ I smirked at him.
We both turned opposite ways and started to rummage through the baskets. I grabbed the black, fluffy cat ears along with a matching tail. I even managed to find a leather collar with a little gold bell attached to it; perfect. I just needed some clothes to go along with these and I was done. I skipped over to the hanger and began searching. Everything looked so boring, I wasn’t sure if I was going to find anything good here. I was just about to move on and look somewhere else when something caught my eye. It was a pair of black leather shorts. They were Andy’s size too. I smiled. He’s going to hate me for this. I didn’t need a shirt as he had plenty to choose from. I grabbed some fishnet tights on my way back and ran up to him.
‘I got your outfit!’ I grinned.
‘Same, you’re going to love it!’
‘You show me mine first’ I asked. He nodded in agreement and proceeded to show me. My smile soon dropped as soon as I saw what he had for me. He had white bunny ears with a matching tail, a plain button up shirt and pink boxers. I looked at him horrified.
‘And what is that supposed to be?’ I asked.
‘A male playboy bunny, duh’ He rolled my eyes at me.
‘There is no way I’m wearing that!’ I frowned.
‘Please Ash? Pretty please?’ He looked down at the floor in disappointment.
‘Only if you promise to wear yours!’ I groaned.
‘Fine, what is it?’ He asked and looked up.
He looked at me in complete shock after I showed him the contents of my shopping basket.
‘You want me to wear fishnets? And shorts?’ He frowned.
‘It’ll look good. Besides you promised to wear whatever I pick for you!’ I stomped my foot, like a little kid would. He rolled his eyes at me but agreed to wear it. I leaned over and kissed his cheek making him blush.
‘Let’s go back home Ash, we don’t have much time to get ready.’ We walked over to the check out and tried to keep our faces from going bright red when we emptied our baskets. The lady behind the till kept giving us strange looks but remained silent. We payed and quickly left the store.

‘Ash I look fucking ridiculous!’ Andy shouted at me from the bathroom. His parents have gone out so we didn’t need to worry about being quiet.
‘Come out, let me see!’ I smirked. I heard the bathroom door creak and a few seconds later Andy walked into the bedroom. He looked amazing. The long sleeved, black shirt hung loosely on him. And don’t get me started on those shorts!
‘You look hot’ I smiled at him. It was true, that boy looked good in anything.
‘You’re supposed to unbutton the shirt Ash’ Andy crossed his arms and looked me right in the eye.
‘You don’t care if I go out in nothing but pink boxers and an unbuttoned shirt?’ I asked surprised.
‘Let’s not forget the bunny ears.’ He smirked. ‘Ash I trust you, my only concern is you getting raped or something’ He looked down. I put on my bunny ears and drew whiskers on Andy’s face. Just as we were about to leave I pulled out a camera. Andy turned around and rolled his eyes as soon as he saw what was in my hand.
‘Please? Just one picture’ I begged. He snatched the camera from my hand and held it out so that we would both fit in the picture. He pressed the button and the flash blinded us both.
‘Let’s go, we’re already late’ Andy grabbed his car keys and we headed out the door.  

When we got there everyone was already passed out or half drunk. I’ve been to parties before but never this big. How did CC get so many people to show up? We weren’t exactly popular... I guess most of them were here for free booze.
‘You guys look interesting’ CC shouted over the music and gave us a plastic cup each.
‘What is it?’ Andy asked and sniffed the liquid before taking a sip.
‘Jack Daniels of course! We have a ton of other stuff too!’ he high fived me. CC had good taste in alcohol.
‘What’s up with the costumes?’ He asked.
‘We picked them out for each other’ Andy shrugged. CC didn’t say anything and just nodded. I was just about to ask him something but he got dragged away by a bunch of people before I had the chance.
Andy’s P.O.V.
I’ve never been to party before, I felt so out of place; I wasn’t sure what to do. I decided to do whatever Ashley did. We walked over to the living room where Ash was attacked by a bunch of girls in skimpy clothes; if you can even call those clothes. I rolled my eyes and tried to drag him away but they didn’t want to leave him alone and it didn’t exactly look like it bothered him.
‘So what are you supposed to be?’ One of them asked and twirled her hair around her thin finger.
‘Uh’ Ashley awkwardly ran his hand through his hair and smiled at them.
‘He’s a playboy bunny Jess, duh. And a hot one too’ the blonde one smiled and licked her lips. I’ve had enough of this. I’m not going to let those sluts flirt with my boyfriend.
‘Ash, come on’ I pushed through the ring of girls and tugged on his sleeve.
‘Oh hey look, it’s that faggot from school!’ One of the girls laughed. I gave her the death stare making her stop talking instantly.
‘Don’t you dare talk to him like that, alright?’ Ash said.
‘Whatever’ she replied and turned on her heel. ‘Come on girls, let’s go’ she added and they all walked away laughing and whispering.
Ashley looked at me; I think he felt bad for what happened. I didn’t want neither of us to think about it, so I dragged him into the hallway in search for Jinxx. We bumped into Jake instead.
‘CC sure knows how to throw a party!’ He shouted as he greeted us. He chose not to comment on our outfits. It was better that way. ‘Have you guys seen the pool? I heard some girls are having a wet shirt contest!’ He grinned and looked at Ash; everyone knew how much Ashley loved boobs. ‘We should totally check it out’ he added less enthusiastically.
‘Sounds good’ Ashley agreed. ‘But I can’t.’ He added and looked over at me. I looked back at him. I couldn’t help but feel guilty. I limited him so much, he was a party animal by nature and I was stopping from almost everything. I guess letting him look at girls in wet shirts won’t do any harm...
‘You can go if you want Ash, it’s cool’ I half smiled at him. He looked at me confused. ‘As I said before, I trust you; now go and look at their boobies’ He placed a quick kiss on my cheek and walked off with Jake.
‘Swimming outdoors in October? Those girls are crazy’ was the last sentence I heard before I was left on my own. I didn’t mind; Ashley deserved to have some fun. I grabbed another cup of alcohol and continued my search for Jinxx.
Ashley’s P.O.V.
‘Take it off ladies!’ The guys shouted. Man those girls were hot. I cheered along with the crowd as the girls slowly removed their pieces of clothing and threw them at the boys.
‘I caught her panties!’ Some guy shouted. It reminded me of the old days, before I knew Andy. I somewhat missed all this; the slutty girls, the parties, the alcohol. It helped me relax and forget about everything. But I had Andy now; I didn’t need any of this to make me feel better anymore. But it was still fun. The only thing I was bad at was controlling how much I drank. Jake kept giving me shot after shot and it didn’t take neither of us long to get somewhat drunk. My mind went fuzzy and I felt warm inside. It was such a great feeling. Girls would come up to me trying to flirt; some were very obviously hinting that they wanted to have sex with me. Each time I told them I couldn’t because I was in a relationship. Every single one of them walked away from me disappointed. I loved Andy; I didn’t want to cheat on him; but as I kept drinking I lost track of what I was doing. This girl came up to me and ran her hand down my arm, giggling.
‘Cute costume’ she laughed.
‘It’s almost as cute as you’ I replied and rested my hands on her hips. I pulled her in closer; I could feel her warm breath on my face. She placed her lips on mine; I didn’t push her away. If anything I begged for more. She parted her lips, letting my tongue in and I gladly accepted the invitation. My hands that were resting on her waist have now moved down lower; she didn’t care. I swirled my tongue in her mouth. Her hands were tangled in my hair; just like Andy’s normally would be. Then I realized what I was doing. I suddenly froze and pulled away.
‘I’m sorry, I can’t’ I said and pushed the girl away gently. She rolled her eyes at me and walked away. What was I thinking? I was hoping that Jake didn’t notice; I didn’t want to hurt Andy. I looked up to look for Jake and that’s when I saw Andy. He was standing near the door looking right at me. He saw, he saw everything. He shook his head and walked back inside. Fuck, what have I done?
Andy’s P.O.V.
I couldn’t believe it. I trusted him. I trusted him not hurt me; I thought I was the only one that mattered to him. I could feel the tears rolling down my face; I didn’t care who saw. I grabbed the half empty bottle of whiskey from the table and ran towards the bathroom. I wanted to drink myself sick, to forget about what I just saw. I wanted to forget but I knew I wouldn’t be able to. I closed the door behind me and locked it. I sat down on the cold floor and unscrewed the bottle. The first sip burned my mouth, it made me feel nauseous. I wasn’t used to drinking. Why would he do this to me? Wasn’t I good enough for him? I wiped the tears off my cheeks but it was no use; I just couldn’t stop crying. I’m so manly, eh? I hated him, I hated myself. I wanted to go home, but I couldn’t drive after drinking. I was frightened by the loud knock on the door.
‘Andy I know you’re in there’ I heard Ashley’s voice.
‘Fuck off!’ I screamed at him as loud as I could. I did not want to see him right now; not now, not ever.
‘Andy please, let me explain.’ He begged.
‘There is nothing to explain! You chose some chick over me’ I sobbed.
‘I wasn’t thinking’
‘Obviously’ I took another sip of vodka; it calmed me down a bit.
I took out my phone and called Jinxx. ‘Hi, can you drive me home?’ I sobbed. ‘Please’ I begged. He didn’t ask why, he just told me to meet him by my car in five minutes. This is why I loved Jinxx. I steadied myself as I stood up; the alcohol was kicking in big time. I unlocked the door and quickly pushed past Ashley before he even had the chance to react. I made my way to the front of the house as fast as I could and hopped into the car. Jinxx was already behind the wheel. We remained silent throughout the whole drive. I jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped in my driveway and thanked Jinxx.
‘Can I come in?’ He asked quietly. I opened the front door and gestured at him to come in. We sat down on the couch in the mostly dark living room; the only source of light was the window. I was glad that he couldn’t see my face; I looked like someone dragged me through a puddle.
‘So what happened out there?’ Jinxx sounded concerned.
‘I saw Ashley with some whore; she was all over him and it didn’t look like it bothered him one bit.’ I sighed.  I shook my head in an attempt to get that image out of my mind but failed miserably.
‘Oh’ He simply replied; unsure what to say. We sat in complete silence for a few minutes. ‘I’m sorry Andy’ he added and patted my back awkwardly. I half smiled at him before looking away. I wanted to sleep; dealing with all this right now was just too much for me. I stood up and headed for the stairs without saying anything to Jinxx. I knew it was rude but I didn’t care; I didn’t care about anything anymore. Jinxx got the message and walked out of the house, gently closing the door behind him. I was left alone. Suddenly a big wave of exhaustion washed over me and I decided to go to sleep. Perhaps it was the best thing to do right now. I put on my pyjamas which consisted of a baggy shirt and plain old pyjama bottoms and sat down on the bed. I pulled out a sheet of paper; I decided to leave a message for Ashley; there was no way he was going to sleep in my bed tonight.
‘You can sleep in the guest bedroom or downstairs on the couch. You choose. -Andy’
I stuck it to my bedroom door using some tape and closed the door. I turned the light off before jumping into bed and pulled the blankets over my head. It didn’t take me long to fall asleep.
