I Hate The Ending Myself, But It Started With An Alright Scene

Chapter 24: The Ghost Of You

○Never coming home, never coming home○
Don't play song until I tell you to!

He's coming back to get me.
I froze there just staring at the small screen displaying the most unimaginable sentence I could ever see.

"Oh, hey there you are. You okay?" Asher filled the silence making me spin right round to him. He was smiling, his cute, loving smile I have loved for so long. And I was about to destroy it all. I grabbed his wrist and ran upstairs, dragging him close behind.

"Bee, what's going on?"

I waited till we were at the top of the stairs and at the end of the corridor before I could talk and even then, I had to have a few minutes to plan what I would do.

We stood at the end of the corridor, our hands connected and gently swinging side to side.

"I need to leave." I said calmly.

"Oh, okay well; do you wanna go to the park or just walk around or -" he suggested.

"No Ash, I need to leave. I can't stay here anymore." I added still calm. He was confused as heck and it was obvious. "My dad's coming tomorrow, he wants to take me home!" I explained a few tears starting to form.

"I'm coming with you!" He blurted out so quickly.

"Ash no, -" I began.

"Bandit, I'm coming with you!" He told me, his voice stern.

"No you can't! I need to go away for a while on my own until I can figure something out and then I'll send for you! I just have to go alone!" I explained.

"Where are you planning on going? Bandit, baby - we can figure it out together!" He pleaded.

"I can't tell you Ash. I'm sorry. I love you so much and no matter what I always will but I have to go on my own. I have a plan but if you come too it's not gonna work- I'm sorry." I explained again my voice hitching slightly as I spoke.

"Babe, I can't just let you go!" He was just as close to tears as I was.

"We'll be together again, I promise! I love you too much to let you go forever!" This time I just let myself cry.

We fell on our knees holding eachother the tightest anyone has ever hugged before and sobbed into each others shoulders.

"I'll sneak out while they're asleep and then when we're together again we'll start over, just me and you!" I whispered between sobs.

"We won't back down!" He whispered back.

~~~play the song

We were downstairs again, Seth and Doug were on the coach just chillin'. People were starting to leave so I took my time to say my last goodbyes to these guys. The whole time, Ash and I never dropped hands.

It was just the Iero's, Doug, Seth, Ash and me left. 'Hero of War' began playing by Rise Against and Ash kept one hand in mine then the other around my hip and began moving side to side around the living room slowly. I pushed my self closer to him resting my hand around his shoulders rather then his hip making him move his hand from my hip to my back.

We danced for about three more songs until Seth and Doug called it a night. I told them that I was going away for a while but said I'd keep in touch once I tell Ash where I am. They were okay with that and gave me tight hugs before leaving.

I'd rather not replay my goodbye with Asher, I didn't want to have to say it and neither did he.
