I was worried when Misty left. She isn’t there to stop me from saying the completely wrong things. I had to watch what I said really well because if I say one thing wrong it will ALL be ruined. What if Andy’s mother show’s up tonight? There’s no doubt in my mind that she would. Especially after she told me to stay away from Andy, she’s bound to be around here somewhere.
“You’re on” a stage manager interrupted

“Well. Time to hit it” Andy said standing up
Everyone else stood up too. I didn’t know if I should follow are stay. Andy leaned down at me putting a hand on my shoulder.

“You can watch from the side if you want” he smiled

“Oh sure” I smiled

He took my hand and helped me up. I thought I was going to explode. The thing is, he didn’t let go of my hand. He led me to the curtain where the stage was while talking to CC along the way. He stopped and turned to me.

“You can walk just about ten feet that way and be on the side stage, you’ll see everything” Andy pointed letting go of my hand. His hand was on the small of my back.

“Ok” I nodded. I went to the side stage.

I looked where the guys were standing, they were preparing to get on stage. Ashley, Jake and Jinxx held their instruments. Andy opened the curtain and ran onto the stage, everyone else followed.

“Alright OHIO how’s everyone tonight?!” Andy spoke into the microphone sticking his hands out to the crowd.

They all screamed like wild banshees. The guys all shifted into their positions on stage

“Well that’s great!” Andy joked “Who’s ready to rock the fuck out?!” he asked the crowd

The crowd screamed and hollered.

“This song is called Sweet Blasphemy” Andy shouted into the microphone

It was a dream listening to him sing. It made my heart flutter. Every song he sang filled up my heart. Before I knew it they were done performing and it was Falling in Reverse’s turn to perform. A sweaty Andy and his band mates walked off stage. I scampered over to them.

“You guys are amazing!” I chimed

“Yeah, what else is new?” Ashley smiled at me

Andy punched him. I laughed. We went back to where we were lounging earlier. We scattered between the two couches and make shift coffee table. They guys had a few drinks and smokes. I was just content with being in Andy’s presence.

“Do you want a beer?” Ashley sat down next to me. I wasn’t really paying attention, I was watching Andy talk across the coffee table with his friends

“No thank you” I said politely moving my hair from my face

A random girl came up to us and sat right next to Ashley, he was immediately interested in her. I saw Andy pull out a package of cigarettes from his jacket. I think he was going outside to smoke. I saw him leave the room and go out a side door. I got up and followed. I opened the door and peeked my head out. Andy was just lighting his cigarette when he noticed me. He motioned for me to come out. I smiled and walked out closing the door behind me. A street light illuminated us.

“Do you smoke?” Andy asked

“I never really tried” I said “I was never aloud” I said

“Wanna try?” he took the one from his mouth offering it to me

“S-sure” I said taking it

I tried it. I thought I would cough like crazy but I didn’t. I held it in my lungs and handed him back the cigarette. I let it out in a big ungracious puff.

“When should we get you home?” he asked

“Oh whenever” I said

“I’m pretty sure you friend would prefer soon” he smiled

“Probably” I rolled my eyes

It was silent.

“So…are you leaving for another destination tomorrow?” I asked

“Actually no, it was our last leg, well for us anyhow, Asking Alexandria will continue with Falling in Reverse, I’m going to stay here for a bit to catch up with family and such” he said

Yes he’s staying longer!

“Why? do you want to hang out?” he asked wiggling his eyebrow

My face turned bright red.

“you w-want to hang out?” I asked

“Yeah, why not? You seem pretty cool, I need to make new friends, TRUST ME I can only take so much of my family when my friends leave for home” he laughed

We were ready to go inside when someone walked up to us.
“Hey mom” Andy said hugging her

SHIT. I knew she’d come.

“You remember Sonny” he said pulling away

“Of course, how could I forget” she said eyeing me

Someone opened the door and peeked out.

“Hey Andy, can you help quick?” they asked

“Yeah” Andy said stepping inside leaving me alone with his mother

“YOU, I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY” She seethed

“You most certainly have no right to tell me what to do” I said

“are you stupid little girl? You’re going to hurt the both of you” she said

In a way, she was right, but after all of this and what I’ve been through, it is impossible to stay away.

“Your mother called me today telling me you went up and cause a ruckus at her house after you SLAPPED me” she said

“Don’t you think I have a right to get pissed at the both of you?” I asked

She was quiet now. She had nothing to say. The door opened just as we finished our little snippet at eachother. It was Andy.

“Hey mom, you don’t mind if we take Sonny home? I promised I would, the guys are leaving with the bus and I’m supposed to go with you” Andy said

“Not at all” she said trying not to sound rude

I said goodbye to all of Andy’s band mates. I watched them all pack up their equipment. I’m sure they are going to party hard before they could hit the road. Then it was time to get into Amy’s car and head home.
It has become quite possibly one of the most uncomfortable car rides of my life. Andy sat up front while his mother drove. She would occasionally glance at me in the mirror, her eyes filling mine with hate. Unfortunately I had to tell her where I lived and how to get there.

“Here let me see your phone” Andy said

I reluctantly handed it to him giving him a questioning look. He typed on my key pad and handed it to me.

“I put my number in, to keep contact” he said

We pulled up to my apartment complex.

“Thank you for taking me home” I said

“No problem” Amy said

I opened the door and stepped out. Andy rolled down the window.

“So text me or something so we could hang out, or I’ll text you” he said, he thought for a moment “Well technically you have to text me first so I can get your number, just let me know it’s you” he said correcting himself

“Ok” I squeaked quietly

“Bye” he waved as they drove away

I sighed and headed for my apartment. We lived on the first floor there was no walking and maybe fatally tripping because I was so tired tonight. I walked up to my door and stuck my key in. I opened it and walked into darkness. I don’t think Misty was home yet, I don’t think I saw her car. She’s probably bailing her dumb ass brother out of jail by now.
I went to my room turning on my light and plopped down on my bed. I stared at the ceiling. What am I getting myself into?
