Guitars and Love

Ashley~

The sound of a door slamming made me jump awake. I looked over to see Tony gone. I rolled out of bed and walked out of the room.
"Tony?"
Nothing. He must have left to get something.
I went back to my room and went into the bathroom, I needed a shower. The water felt nice against my skin, i could stand here forever under this water. I started to wash my body and stopped when my hands reached my scare.

"You guys sound fucking amazing!" Jake said into the mic.
I looked over the crowed and smiled. I have nothing to worry about nothings going to go bad im just overreacting.
BANG
"What the hell was that?"
I felt a sharp pain at the upper part of my stomach. I looked down to see my shirt turning red. whoa things were starting to blurr. I dropped my guitar and stepped back.
"Ashley!"
Why do i feel so dizzy? am i falling? I felt my back hit the ground. Then i felt someones hands, i couldnt make out the face.
"Ashley please stay awake"
Tony? I smiled and then everything went black.

I snapped out of my memory and finished washing up. I got out of the shower and headed into my closet and grabbed what i was gonna wear for today. I layed them on the bed and went to drawer and grabbed my bra and panties. I put them on and then slipped on my shirt and then my pants. I looked over at the time, it was gonna be one. I slipped on my black flats and went into the kitchen, im starving. I made myself an egg sandwich and headed to the living room and flicked on the Tv. After i finished my sandwich i went back into the kitchen and washed all the dishes that were in the sink. I looked over at the time it was three. Where the hell is Tony? I dried my hands and went back to my room. I grabbed my phone, No messages or calls from Tony. Weird. I pressed call and put the phone to my ear. It rang twice and then to his voice mail. Did he just ignore my call? I tryed again. And he did it again. I sent him a text asking where he was. I put my phone in my pocket and went back to the kitchen to finish cleaning up. After i finished the kitchen i went on to the living room. When i finished it was 5. I looked at my phone, still nothing from Tony. I tried calling him again and i got the same thing i did earlier. Why was he ignoring my calls? Then i noticed the date. Oh Shit! August 18, its our anniversary. How could i forget the most important day of my life? Is he mad at me or something? I just have had so much on my mind. I didnt even get him anything. What could i get him in such short notice? I got it! I looked through my phone and found my very good friend from high schools number. I pressed call and waited for him to answer.
"Hello?"
"Hey Steven!"
"Ashley? Whats up girl? how are you?"
"Im good, hey you down to do a tattoo on me?"
"haha hell yeah, is tomorrow good?"
Shit, i guess that will have to do.
"um yeah, what time?"
"Come by at 2, ill be waiting girl"
"okay, thank you so much, hey how much?"
"Dont worry about, hey i gotta get back to my tattoo, ill see you tomorrow"
"okay later"
I hung up and sat there for a minute. I could make him his favorite food and make it look all fancy. Its all i could thing of that wouldnt take long.I grabbed my keys and headed to the store. As i walked through the aisles i looked at my phone. Still nothing. I texted him once more and then put my phone back in my pocket. I went in line and paid for my things and then headed back to my car. On the way back home i started to sing along with whatever song was on the radio. I didnt know any of the words. Oh well, nobody's around. I got back to my house and put all the stuff on the table. I turned on the stove and started cooking. I was almost done, i looked at the time it was 6 30. I turned off the stove and put the pan to the side. Then i realized i forgot something, i grabbed my keys from the table and headed back out the door. When i got in my car i tried calling Tony again, ignored. Awesome! I rolled my eyes and pulled out of the drive way. I got to the store and ran through the aisles till i found what i was looking for, i grabbed it and waited in line. As i waited i thought of way Tony was avoiding me today, I dont know why? I didnt do anything. Then again i did forget our anniversary. I shook my head and pulled out my phone and called Vic.
"Hey Ash, whats up?"
"Have you talked to Tony?"
"No not today, why?"
"Hes been gone all day and hes been ignoring my calls"
Vic was quite for a moment, "Want me to go over?"
"Yeah please"
"Alright, im on my way"
I hung up and put my phone in my pocket. It was finally my turn to pay, to i paid and ran out of the store. I got in my car and headed back home. My phone was buzzing in my pocket as i pulled into my drive way. I parked and pulled out my phone. Vic was calling.
"Hello?"
"Sorry im taking long, ill be there right now"
"Okay, i just got here"
"Is he there?"
"No, and todays our anniversary" I said getting out my car.
"Dont worry about it Ash, something probably came up"
"I just hope its not bad" I said putting my key into the door.
"I doubt it"
"But why would-"
I opened the door to see rose pedals on the floor, i looked up to see Tony seating on the couch with his acoustic guitar in his hands. Vic, Mike, and Jaime were standing in kitchen laughing. I hung up my phone and closed the door behind me.
"Wait-"
"Ashley, im sorry for ignoring you all day, i was getting something for you and it just planned out so perfect" Tony said looking at me.
I had no words, i just looked at him.
"I thought hard on what i should do for you, but then i remember how you always want me to sing to you-"
"Me too!" Vic yelled from the kitchen.
"Shut up vic" He said with a chuckle.
I laughed.
"And when you were gone for that hour i couldn't stop thinking about how i always told you no and how i regretted it, but i dont have to regret it anymore because you came back to me, I remember the first time we hung out and how you told me you always wanted to be sung to when you were in high school, Its a little late but i hope you like it"
He began playing She will be loved by maroon 5 on his guitar. The song i always wanted to be sung to me by someone i loved. I felt my eyes tearing up when he started singing.

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah.
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Yeah
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh.
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Yeah, yeah.
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Tears were rolling down my cheeks as he finished. He looked up at me and smiled. I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around him and kissed him.
"This is why i was ignoring you all day" He got up and pulled down his pants showing me his tattoo on his higher part of his leg.
It was Rapunzel dressed as me, make up, clothes and everything looked exactly like me, and she held a paint brush in her hands.
"Oh my god! I love it!" I said as he picked up his pants.
I pulled him into another kiss.
"AWWWH"
I let go of Tony and looked over at the guys. I smiled and went over to them. They all hugged me.
"I love you guys so much, thank you for being part of my life" I said.
"Were not going anywhere as long as you dont" Mike smiled at me.
"unless you make fun of me again" Jaime said making a pouting face.
I laughed and kissed him on the cheek.
"We love you to Ash" Vic said giving me a kiss on the cheek.
Mike wiped the tears from my face.
"Were gonna go now, well see you guys tomorrow" Vic said as he gave me hug.
Mike and Jaime gave me a hug and then i walked with them to the door.
"Later guys" I said as they walked out.
I closed the door and then turned right into Tonys chest.
"I didnt get to get you anything"
"Babe you already did"
I gave him a confused looked.
"but-"
"You came back to me, thats the greatest gift"
I smiled at him and remembered that i planned on getting the tattoo.
"Great minds think alike" I said looking up at him.
He raised an eyebrow.
"ima get a tattoo tomorrow of a tatted turtle, for you"
He shook his head and smiled. He picked me up against the door and rested his forehead on mine.
"I was gonna kill myself when i found out you died"
"Tony, n-"
"Ashley without you there is not me"
"Promise me, that you'll never kill yourself over me"
He didnt answer me.
"Tony"
"I promise" He kissed me.
"I love you so much" He said looking into my eyes.
"I love you too"
He kissed me and started kissing down my neck. He looked back up at me and laughed. He pulled me up and throw me over his shoulder.
"TONY!" I yelled as he ran into the room.
