“Babe what happened? You were happy when we got off stage and now you seem really upset.” Andy asked as he followed Dess into the room. He removed his jacket, tossing it onto the bed before moving to the small couch so that he could take his boots off-he was tired and wasn’t in the mood for her dramatics but he knew something was wrong.

“Yeah well Sammi and I overheard some girls talking and we didn’t like what they were saying…” She looked over her shoulder at him, her eyes cold with anger as she sat down on the bed and began to remove her shoes.

“What were they saying?” He asked, his stomach up in his throat as he just sat there on the couch. He thought back over the night, thought about the fans that he had met and the things that he could have said to make this happen.

“Oh just that you’re a lying cheating asshole!” She growled, her eyes bright and furious as he just stared at her open mouthed. Dess moved to get up and as she looked down at the shoe in her hand she felt the anger rise in her. Holding it above her head, Dess chucked the shoe towards the wall right behind Andy and smiled as it made contact and fell to the ground.

“Did you really just throw a shoe at me Dess?!” Andy asked, moving from the couch to stand as Dess just stood there, hands on her hips and a sick smirk on her face.

“Fuck yes I did…stupid fucking mother-“ There was that anger again and soon enough the other shoe was flying through the air, hitting Andy on the shoulder as he couldn’t duck out of the way fast enough and they both just stared at it as the shoe fell to the floor with a thump.

“What the fuck?! What the fuck has gotten in to you?!” He shouted moving towards her, but Dess was one step ahead of him and moved to the other side of the bed, the wall to her back as she sneered at him.

“You know what you did Andrew! Don’t fucking deny it!” She yelled and Dess threw her hands in the air as Andy just looked at her with a shocked look on his face.

“I can’t even fucking deal with you right now! You’re being really childish Odessa and I never would have thought you of all people would act like this!” He shouted, his low voice gravelly and dangerous as he began to walk away from her. Suddenly something smacked him in the back of the head, it was soft thankfully and as Andy turned around he saw one of the decorative pillows from the bed lying on the floor by his feet.

“Yeah well at least I’ve never cheated on you. I may be acting childish right now, but I’ve never hurt you in that way…” Her voice was low and dangerous and Andy sighed heavily as he turned and faced Dess. Her cheeks were bright red as she huffed to catch her breath and Andy just raised an eyebrow-she must be drunk or high or something…there had to be an explanation for all of this.

“Where are you getting this thought that I cheated on you?! I have been nothing but devoted to you this entire time Odessa and I would never do that!” His anger was uncontrollable as he spun around to face her. Dess had one of the television remotes in her small hands and with one swift motion she chucked it at him, hitting him squarely in the chest and Andy stepped back as it hit.

“Yeah…devoted until tonight you asshole! I should’ve known your rockstar ego would eventually fuck things up!” She snarled as she moved to enter the bathroom but Andy moved so that he stood in her way. They were a few feet apart and Andy held his hands up defensively, wondering if she was going to throw anything else at him.


“What?! I don’t know what you and Sammi overheard but you’re fucking wrong Dess…I met some fans, took some pictures and joked around with them. But the entire fucking time all I could think about was how much I missed you and wanted to come back here with you. Now I fucking wished I had gone with CC and Ashley!” Andy moved so that he was a little farther away from her and his eyes grew wide as Dess moved to pick up a small pad of paper from the bedside table.


The two of the stood there in their standoff of words and Dess could feel her heart beating out of her chest as she looked to this man that claimed to love her. What was love? A feeling-a chemical that fucked with your brain making you stupid and foolish. She knew-all along she knew that someone like Andy could never love her and only her…she was nothing to him, nothing more than a nice piece of ass that he caught and had now grown tired of. She looked at him then, his eyes were tired and sad and for a second Dess felt sorry, but that second was broken by his harsh words.


“You’re fucking crazy…Moira’s death has driven you fucking crazy…” Andy muttered, his head hanging low. She screamed then, his head snapping up at the noise and she flew at him. Her small hands came to beat on his chest, but Andy was stronger than her and he was able to hold her by her wrists, thwarting her attack.


He threw her away from him, aiming for the bed and watched as she fell back, landing on the comforter as Andy spun on his heel and moved to enter the bathroom. He shut the door behind him, sick to his stomach as he looked at himself in the mirror. What had he done? What had he said? His words shouted back at him in his mind and Andy felt like a rock had landed in his stomach. He hadn’t meant it and he knew that what Dess had gone through would make anyone act that way, but throwing things at him? Taking in a deep breath, Andy braced himself as he opened the bathroom door.


“Oh…decide to come back out and call me more names?” Dess’ voice was poison as Andy entered the main room and saw that she was sitting with her legs crossed on the small couch. She had turned the television on and had pulled out a bottle of water from the mini fridge and Andy hoped she had calmed down some.

“Look Dess…” He was broken off by her and he gulped loudly as she looked up at him and spoke lowly.

“No you look. I’m over this bullshit of having to listen to you fucking bitch and moan about everything in your god damn life. You will never know the pain that I have gone through…some of it for you. I missed her last weeks because I was where? With you. Don’t you dare call me crazy you egotistical motherfucker.” She spat this at him and Andy winced as he felt his hands clench in to fists and he just tried to remain calm.

“You don’t think I beat myself up over that fact every day Dess? I miss her too, but I don’t understand why you’re acting like this…”Andy glared at her and moved so that he was sitting on the bed facing her, but far enough away in case she decided to lunge at him again.

“I’m acting like this because you are a fucking asshole and have yet to apologize…” She mumbled, turning her attention back to the television and Andy saw red. He hated passive aggressive childish shit and this was exactly what that was.

“Apologize for what? For something you heard and think that I did, which-by the way-you have yet to even tell me what exactly you’re accusing me of!” His voice wasn’t loud, but it was dangerous and Dess just looked over at him, her eyes squinted into slits.

“You fucked or did something with one of those girls…Sammi and I heard all about it. So apologize for that while I get my things…fucker.” She snarled the last part as Dess stood up and moved over to where her few bags sat.

“No I didn’t Dess and where are you going?” He asked as he watched as Dess zipped up her suitcase and moved to the bathroom to get her other things. Why was she leaving and where did she expect to go? They were in Germany and she couldn’t very well just leave and go back home…could she?

“I’m going to see if I can bunk with Sammi and Jinxx and then if not with them then either Ash or CC and Jake.” She looked at him, smirking at the mention of her sharing a room with Ashley as she moved to finish packing her things.

“Why? Dess come on babe…we can work through this.” He was sad and confused and as she looked at him, standing there biting down on his lip ring, Dess felt terrible, but she had to do this.

“Look, we’ve both said some really terrible things and I threw several things at you…I think its best if we just have some time a part.” She said simply and Andy moved towards her then, slowly as not to spook her but soon she was in his arms.

“I’m sorry for what I said…it was in the heat of the moment. I don’t care that you threw things at me Dess. Please, please don’t go…”He held her tightly and felt the tears come to his eyes as he thought over the things that they had both said.

“I know and I’m sorry too, but I have to do this Andy…I can’t be around you right now. I-I’m afraid.” She looked up at him and saw the tears in his eyes and had to concentrate to keep her own in check.

“Afraid? Of what? Of me?” He felt hurt and she could tell and slowly Dess just shook her head as her green eyes stared in to his.

“I-I’m scared of myself. Of what I might do or say. I love you, more than anything, but I’m not in a good place right now and I don’t want that to affect things with us. I’d rather keep my distance then push you away forever…” She felt the tears spill on to her cheeks and then smiled softly as she felt his fingertips move to wipe them away.

“Dess…I think I can handle anything you throw at me-literally. Please don’t leave me…” Andy’s voice was low and gravelly, sending chills down her spine as Dess avoided his eyes at all costs.

“I’m not leaving the tour…I just want to spend some time with Sammi. I need some girl time anyways…all this testosterone is making me feel like a dude.” She laughed and felt as his fingers ran over her lips until they came to rest underneath her chin. Andy lifted her face up to his slowly, his blue eyes red rimmed and sad.

“I get it. But please don’t do anything we’ve talked about doing…I said I wanted to show you Europe and I meant that.”He said the last part with a small smile on his lips and Dess couldn’t help but smile softly in return.

“I promise. I’m gonna go now though. If Sammi and Jinxx made up then I’m gonna have to go beg CC and Jake to sleep on their couch for the next two nights.” Dess smirked up at him, laughing softly at the worried look on his face.

“I love you Odessa…more than anything.” He held her tightly before letting her go and Andy just looked down at her.

“I love you too…more than I can ever scream.” She smirked up at him and stood on her tip toes to place a soft kiss to his lips before she turned and walked out the door.



“Jinxx?” Dess asked as the door clicked behind her and she was met with a very sad guitarist.

“Dess? What are you doing out here?” Jinxx asked and Dess noticed that there were two bags and a guitar case sitting on the floor by his feet.

“I could ask you the same thing…” She said as he smiled at her sadly and cleared his throat.

“Sammi said she needs some time. I was hoping to sleep on your couch…” Dess smiled softly as she moved so that she was nearest to Sammi’s hotel room door. Reaching out, she knocked softly on the door and then turned back to Jinxx.

“Go ahead. I was coming to ask the same of you and Sammi. Wanna trade rooms?” She laughed the last part and saw Jinxx smirk in return.

“Sure, but no funny business.” Jinxx laughed as he knocked on Andy’s door and both doors popped open at the same time.


As Dess entered her new room, she looked over her shoulder and caught Andy staring at her from his doorway. He looked exhausted and she knew it was mostly because of her and their fight. She blew him a small kiss and he smiled softly before closing the door. Dess turned to find Sammi laying back in the bed, her cheeks red and her eyes puffy as she continued to cry. Dess changed her clothes quickly and got under the covers. She began to cry as well as Sammi told her everything that was said and quietly the girls laid there and cried until they both fell asleep.

As she drifted off, Dess hoped that maybe this time a part would make things better. Or things could go horribly wrong and she would be all alone again.
