Their goodbye had been tearful and hard and Andy felt his heart break as he watched a dejected Odessa walk off to go through security. He loved her and she had given in to his love and for that he would forever be grateful, but he also knew that it had hurt her worse leaving him this time because she knew how he felt. Silently Andy walked back to his car and drove on auto pilot until he found himself sitting in the parking garage below his building. He knew then, that things were going to change and he wasn’t sure if that was going to be a good thing.



It had been a week since she had left and Andy and the rest of BVB were finally ready to start their tour with Avenged Sevenfold. Andy entered the tour bus, his face feeling like it had been smashed in as he held a wet cloth to his nose and cringed in pain. They had been at their last practice before the tour and he and CC were goofing off on the drum kit rise and he had fallen. His nose broke his fall and now he was terrified that he wouldn’t be able to sing in a few days and that his nose was probably broken.


“Dude! What did you do?!” Ashley came running on the bus, their tour manager John hot on his heels.

“I think it’s fucking broken dude…” Andy mumbled, his voice hard to hear due to the cloth that he had to hold up to his face.

“You need to see a doctor. Let me make a call.” John said as he exited the bus and Andy cursed himself as he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw that Odessa was calling and not knowing what to do he handed the phone over to Ashley.

“Hey Dess it’s Ash. Yeah he’s here but uh, he can’t talk right now…” Andy shook his head violently as Ashley looked down at him. Andy was afraid Dess would get the wrong idea and think he was with some girl and couldn’t come to the phone.

“No he’s fine-well-we think he may have broken his nose…”Ashley jerked the phone away from his ear and Andy could hear Odessa screaming from where he was sitting and he smiled in pain.

“Here, let me hold the phone up to his ear so you can talk him, but he can’t talk back…” Ash moved to hold up the phone to Andy’s ear and suddenly he could hear Odessa cursing in the background.

“Andrew! Why do you always hurt yourself?! First your ribs and now your nose! You aren’t invincible.” She sounded pissed and Andy could tell that Ashley was holding back laughter at his predicament.

“Call me after you see a doctor and I hope nothing is seriously wrong. Bye honey.” With that he heard a click and Andy rolled his eyes. She sounded more like a mom when she got angry with him and it was hilarious.


Finally after about an hour John showed back up with a doctor in tow, who after quickly examining Andy told him that his nose was indeed broken and that he would have to miss one show but thankfully he probably wouldn’t need reconstructive surgery. John made some calls and finally it was decided that Black Veil Brides would go to the first show and do a meet and greet and that they would perform in the second show only if Andy was up to it.

After two days Andy was finally able to talk, although his normally low voice was even harder to hear due to him not being able to breathe through his nose. The band joined the tour and were finally able to perform in the fourth show and thereafter Andy avoided the drum riser like the plague. The only good thing about this whole ordeal was that Odessa was babying him like crazy and Andy loved her attention. Andy laid in his bunk, checking his email when he got an alert that a new email from Odessa was waiting in his inbox. Quickly he opened it, smiling as he read her message.

Hey honey! Moira and I knew you were still feeling under the weather and so we made a surprise for you! The first video should cheer you up, but the second is for YOUR EYES ONLY ; )

Kisses,
Dess



Andy smiled as he clicked the first link and saw Moira, Trish and Brady all standing in Moira’s room. Trish had a guitar in her hands, while Moira was holding a bass and Brady sat behind a drum kit. Suddenly his bunk was filled with familiar music as the girls pretended to jam out. Perfect Weapon-of course Dess would pick this song.

Suddenly he heard a piercing scream, one to rival his own as he saw Odessa come into view and his mouth dropped open. She was dressed just as he had been when they shot that video, her hair was teased to the ceiling, her eyes were heavily lined, she had on a black leather vest and she was wearing the tightest leather pants he had ever seen her in.

As he watched her sing he noticed that the other girls had makeup inspired by the band and they represented each of the members of BVB who’s instrument they were playing. Andy’s focus went back to Odessa as she came towards the camera, her eyes mocking him as he watched her. He laughed as the video went on and he smiled as he realized that they pretty much recreated the entire video.

Odessa looked like his doppelganger and she sounded just like him when she sang except her voice was a few octaves above his but her screaming was guttural enough to give him chills. Suddenly the screen went blank and then the girls were back, except they were outside now and their makeup had changed.

Odessa walked on screen as the guitar riffs for The Legacy started up and he smiled as he realized that they must have spent at least two days doing this. He watched as Dess strutted her stuff across his screen, coming close to the camera just like he did, her green eyes heated and in the moment. Andy felt his heart soar as he noticed that she was wearing a leather vest and on that leather vest was a pin. It wasn’t Batman, instead Odessa was rocking a Batgirl pin on her vest and he smiled as the video faded and finally ended.

Smirking Andy moved to open the second video, placing his fingers on the mute button on his computer in case anything inappropriate came up. He needn’t worry though, Odessa came into the frame, sitting down on a stool clad only in her Batman bra and boy shorts…the same bra and undies she had been wearing when they met.


“Andy…I know we’re apart right now and you’re hurting…I hope this makes you feel better.” He saw her nod to someone off screen and suddenly his bunk was filled with the sound of an acoustic guitar.


Odessa began to sing, her soft voice soothing him as the strains of Mortician’s Daughter filled his ears. He listened to his own words coming out of Dess’s mouth and he felt a blush creeping up his neck. She sat there, staring down the camera as her voice rose and fell with the music. As the song stopped one picked up in its place and Carolyn sounded out as Andy felt a tear come to his eyes.

This was her way of telling him that they would be okay, that she had faith in them and that she would brave this situation with him. Finally the last song began to play and tears spilled down his cheeks as he heard her beautiful voice ring out in a gorgeous rendition of I Caught Fire by the Used. The song came to an end and Andy saw her motion to the person off camera to leave the room.

He saw her scoot the stool so she was sitting closer to the camera and he could just see the very top of her new tattoo as she turned. Quietly she spoke at first and Andy moved his face closer to the screen so that he could hear her.


“Andy. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to nurse you back to health. I hope this video and the other one makes you smile and I hope this video imparticular gives you good dreams. Call me when you get this if you can. I miss hearing your voice. Muah” He saw her lean down and kiss the screen and he watched as she got up and flashed her panty clad butt to the camera and he laughed at the fact that she had taped a sign to her butt: BVB ROCKS!


Andy looked at the clock and realizing that it was only midnight in Virginia he pulled out his phone and noticed that he had a new text message and picture from Odessa. First he looked at the picture and raised an eyebrow at what he saw. She was standing in front of a mirror, clearly dressed in the same outfit from the previous video except there were two pieces of paper taped to the front her bra: ANDY IS SEXY! He laughed out loud and then turned to look at her text message.


Dess<3 : See I told you I was good at impersonating you ; )


Laughing, Andy brought up her number and hoped that she was still up. After ringing a few times someone finally picked up and Andy could tell that he had in fact woken Dess up as she was mumbling as she fumbled to answer her phone.


“Hello?” Her voice was sleepy and adorable and it made him smile.

“Hey there beautiful. God I missed the sound of your voice…” He said, his own voice was still nasally and he struggled to breathe through his nose as he talked.

“Andy! How are you feeling?” She asked now fully awake and alert.

“I’m better after watching your videos. You are crazy you know that?” He laughed and smirked as he could picture her blushing right about now.

“Well obviously my plan to make you feel better worked…” He could hear the smirk in her voice and he cleared his voice loudly.

“You looked so sexy when you sang Legacy by the way…you should video yourself in the rain more often.”He smirked and then winced in pain as she giggled on the other line.

“I figured that would be your favorite part. Oh, Moira and the girls wanted you to know that they still think you’re beautiful, even with a broken nose.” She giggled as Andy smiled and cleared his throat.

“Tell them I’m glad and thanks for the support. Look I’m gonna let you get back to bed. Text me when you get up in the morning.“ He wanted to let her rest and he was feeling pretty worn out himself.

“Okay. I’m really happy you liked everything. Goodnight Andy.” She said and he could hear the smile in her voice.

“Goodnight Dess…”He smiled as they both hung up and he moved to get out of his bunk.


All of the guys were still up and hanging out in the front of the bus. They all looked up at him as he walked into the room and set his lap top down on the table and motioned for all of them to come closer. He played the first video, reveling in the fact that Odessa really could impersonate him really well on camera. He loved that in the second part she was using a broom as her long handled microphone and during the guitar solos all four girls were smashing pumpkins with baseball bats.

The first video ended and Andy smirked as he put the second one on, ignoring the fact that Odessa told him it was only for him to see. He looked over at Jinxx, seeing that he seemed just as impressed with Odessa’s voice as Andy was. All of the guys laughed and wolf whistled at the end when she showed her underwear and Andy suddenly felt very protective of Odessa.


“Dude that is the greatest thing ever!” CC yelled as he clapped Andy on the back and finished off his Monster before turning back to the tv.

“God you lucky bastard…”Ashley groaned as he moved to play the second video over again.

“Did you know she could sing like that?” Jinxx asked as Andy looked at him, his eyes wide as he shook his head.

“I knew she could sing decently, but I had no idea she could scream like that…”He looked over at Jake who nodded and turned back to the television.

“I’m hitting the sack…night guys. Ashley give me back the laptop and stop ogling my best friend!” The word girlfriend almost passed his lips but Andy was able to catch himself.


Scooping up his computer Andy headed back to his bunk and after shutting everything down he laid in bed, his eyes boring holes in the ceiling. He loved that Odessa had the power to make him feel better and he pulled his phone out and quickly brought up the folder that he had made specifically for her photos and photos of them. Suddenly he stopped at the one that Sammi had sent him that night after the Ball and he felt his breath catch in his throat as he stared at Odessa.

Flipping further he came upon one selfie that he had forgotten about. Odessa was sitting at her desk, a pencil gripped in her teeth with her hair piled on top of her head as she snarled into the camera. He smiled at how cute she looked, even when she was trying to be a hard ass.

Andy slipped his phone underneath his pillow and settled down to sleep, excited to wake up the next day and hear from Odessa again and he was excited to get back on the stage. He smirked as he remembered his upcoming holiday arrangements and hoped Odessa would love his surprise.

Notes

Whelp...last update for the night kids. I thought it was a cute idea...meh. Also I do know that Andy had long hair when he broke his nose, but I changed the timing of things a bit *shrug* Let me know if you liked it!
