Fallen Angel
So tell me, do you see me?
To say that Andy was mad at himself was an understatement. His brain couldn't process any solid thought and all he wanted to do was sleep so he wouldn't have to deal with the guilt that was eating away at his core. The rest of the guys in the band tried to tell him that it wasn't his fault but none of them were as close to Sophie as he had been.
While walking back to the buses, he ran into the last person he wanted to see. He never wanted to come across Ben ever again in his life. He was the reason she was the way she was. Andy had tried to help her get out of that ditch she was stuck in but he just dragged her down more and more.
"You killed her!" He shouted at Ben while tears streamed down his face.
Ben looked taken aback. "Andy, mate. Calm down! I didn't kill anyone. You're mental!" Ben tried backing away from Andy but Andy grabbed him by the collar of his t-shirt.
"You know what you did." He said through gritted teeth. "Because of you, she's gone forever. I hope you're happy."
Ben tried to push Andy off him. "What are you talking about, Andy? Who did I kill? What did I do?" Ben begged to know what Andy was saying. He wasn't sure why Andy was so distraught.
"Sophie is dead because of you! She killed herself. She was so high off those drugs you gave her that she had no choice but to end it all. I tried to help her, Ben, I really did. But you kept forcing your hallucinatory shit on her and it drove her over the edge. I bet you don't even care, do you? No, because you were too fucked up to really appreciate what a great person Sophie was."
Andy looked like an asylum patient. His hair was all ruffled, his clothes were disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot from crying and his body was shaking.
"Andy! Hey!" Ashley ran towards them and took Andy into his arms from behind. "Andy, stop. It's okay. Andy tried to struggle out of his grip with no use and his body went limp. Ashley sat down with him on the pavement and held his quivering body as he cried and screamed and wished with everything he had for Sophie to just come back.
**1 year later**
It had been exactly a year since Sophie's suicide and Andy hadn't forgotten about her. After his recording session that day, he went to the building where he always used to pick Sophie up for their dates. He went to the alleyway where she would sleep. He missed her.
As he stood outside that big, gold building, he thought of all the times they had spent together. He remembered how schizo she would become when he offered to bring her inside. He thought of her blue eyes and golden blonde hair. He thought of how successful she could have become without all the drugs clogging up her system.
"Excuse me?" A woman's voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to see a blonde woman with big blue eyes smiling at him. "You're standing in front of my car."
He glanced behind him at the sleek, black Audi and apologized. "Oh, I'm sorry." He stepped aside and let her get in. She started the car and a nerve inside him tightened. "Wait!" He banged on the window.
She rolled down the window. "Yes?"
"Sophie? Is that you?" He had to ask. It looked exactly like her. It had to be her.
Her smile grew wider. "Andy?" She turned off the car and stepped out onto the sidewalk.
"It's you. You're not dead." His hands began to shake as he thought of the memory.
She shook her head. "I'm not dead. It was a miracle. A nice, old couple on their boat found me floating in the water and brought me back to their cabin. They both were retired doctors and they helped me get back on my feet. They put me into rehab and now here I am."
"You don't do that shit anymore? You don't live in the alley anymore?" Andy still couldn't believe she was standing in front of him in that moment.
"I actually live there now." She pointed to the big, gold building where she would stand and wait for him to pick her up.
One moment he was taking in her face and the next, his body was pressed up against hers. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and refused to let go. "I can't let you go again. I can't let you leave me again like that."
She smiled at his words and wrapped her arms around him, too. "I'm not going anywhere, Andy. I'm right here."
