Chapter Eight

ASHLEE

The last of couple days had been pretty chaotic; being on the road was not for the faint of heart. She had always considered herself a pretty strong person, but after seven days, she desperately needed to refocus and recharge. The only way she knew how to do that was by doing something that always made her feel grounded—volunteer work. After checking in at the hotel that morning, she and Trish decided to take some time to visit a battered women’s shelter one of her friends operated.

As much as she wanted to stay at the hotel and be with Sam, she needed to be away from him to give herself some thinking time. They were moving so fast, and she knew that by making the first move she set things in motion that couldn’t be stopped. That didn’t mean she knew how to handle the emotions swimming inside her. She was still keeping something from him, something big. She knew she needed to tell him, but the fear of losing him was overwhelming. He had become such a big part of herself in such a short amount of time; she didn’t know how she would handle losing him.

“Do you mind if we make a stop at the store before we head to the shelter?” Ashlee asked Trish, who was in the passenger seat of the band’s rental SUV.

“Lead the way. What do you need?”

She had to admit that spending time with one of her closest friends without anyone else around was something she missed. On the road, quiet time barely existed; privacy wasn’t a luxury they had.

She knew Trish would have a million questions with what she was about to say, but she was ready for them. “Oh, I want to grab some blankets, and maybe some clothes and non-perishable foods to bring with us.” It was the one thing she always found money to do. Sure, things were more than tight with her mom’s bills, but these people needed it more than she did.

“Did you tell Sam about this?” Trish sounded more confused than surprised, which threw her off her game a little; that wasn’t at all the question she was expecting. But in reality, it didn’t shock her.

“No, why?” she asked, suffering a heavy dose of confusion as well.

“Are you paying for all this, Ashlee?” And there it was, the question she knew would come sooner rather than later. The last thing she needed was a speech about how she spent her money or about how she should’ve asked the band to help out with a donation.

She squeezed the steering wheel and took a deep breath before answering. “Yes. They need this a lot more than I need the hundred dollars it’s gonna cost, Trish.”

“You should’ve told Sam about this, honey. He would’ve come with you.”

She knew he would have, but this was something she had to do for herself. Maybe one day, it could be something they did together, but for now, this was for her.

“I don’t want him to think I’m after his money, Trish.
