"Andy! No!"

Andy looked up to see Marilyn standing there with a horrified look on her face.

"Marilyn?! I-"

"Give it to me. Now, Andrew!"

He looked down at the razor blade before handing it over to Marilyn. She reached over and tossed it in the trash can.

"Eh!" Andy squeaked a little with a distressed look on his face.

Marilyn sat down next to him. "Andy, wha-" She was cut off by her phone buzzing in her back pocket. She pulled it out and looked down at the screen that informed her of one new text message.

Ashley: Are you still coming?

Marilyn: I'm going to stay. Andy's having a break down. I think I better stay with him.

Ashley: Is he alright? Should we come back to the bus?

Marilyn: No, no. That's alright. I think the less people the better. You guys go out and have fun. I'll stay here and take care of him.

"Alright, look at me, Andy. What the fuck were you doing?" Marilyn reached her hand over to his chin and tilted it up and over to look at her. "Why were you going to do that?"

"I just... I miss him, Marilyn. I miss my grandpa, a lot."

"I know what it's like to lose someone close to you, but do you think he would be proud of you right now? What do you think he would say if he saw you right now? Would he be happy?"

He shook his head. Marilyn pulled him into her.

"I still miss my mother but it gets better."

"Who texted you earlier?"

"Ashley. He was wondering if I would go out with him and the boys."

"Will you stay? With me tonight?"

"Yes, Andy. I will. Lay down."

Andy laid down and Marilyn next to him. She pulled the bunk curtain closed. She started stroking his charcoal black hair until he was asleep. As she ran her fingers though his hair, her eyes slipped shut.

When Jake, CC, Jinxx, and Ashley got back on the bus, Jake and Jinxx went straight to their bunks.

"Hey, Andy? Marilyn? We're back!" CC called out.

Ashley pulled back the curtain of Marilyn's bunk to find no Marilyn. "Shit. Marilyn's not here." Ashley panicked.

CC went over to Andy's bunk. He pulled back the curtain and saw Marilyn and Andy fast asleep, wrapped in each other's arms.

"Aww." CC commented.

Ashley immediately turned at the sight and stormed off the bus. CC ran after him outside and into the cool summer air.

"What was that all about?" CC asked as Ashley lit up a cigarette; the warm orange glow contrasting against the black night sky. "It's not like they were doing it or anything. They were just sleeping."

"She told me she was staying to comfort Andy but I didn't realize they would end up in the same bed together."

"I think you're just overreacting. You don't even know the whole story. Maybe she was comforting him and she just happened to accidentally fall asleep there with him."

"You know she still has feelings for him and he's no different."

"Ashley..." CC groaned.

"I like her, CC. Okay? I fucking like her and I've fallen. Hard."
