Months had already gone by and Andy still hadn't turned up. A couple of the guys figured they should just give up. They had already cancelled their tour to spend time to search for him but things weren't looking up.

"God, where could he be?" Ashley paced back and forth.

"I hope he's not dead." Jinxx said.

"Way to stay positive, dude." Jake replied, sulking and sinking into the soft couch cushions.

It seemed CC out of all of them had been hit the hardest by Andy's disappearance. He was no longer the happy go lucky CC that he always was. He would just sit by the big bus window and watch the scenery go by in the hopes that he might spot someone who looked like Andy.

As the dead town zoomed by, CC kept his eyes sharp and ready to find anyone who had a mass of black hair that resembled Andy's.

"Wait!" He cried after a few minutes. "Stop the bus!"

The bus came to a screeching halt and the force of the speed sent Ashley stumbling forward and almost landing on Jake on the couch.

"Seriously, CC? What is it now?" Ashley whined.

"It's Andy!" He exclaimed.

The guys groaned. "CC, this is the seventh time you've said you found Andy." Jake complained. "You're probably just seeing things because you miss him."

"No, this time I'm sure of it." CC said confidently. "Come look."

The three other guys made their way over to the window and looked out at the blackened house they were parked in front of. Outside on the dead lawn, a girl with long blonde hair sat with a boy with raven black hair. The boy was playing guitar for her and she was laughing at something funny he had said. And yes, the boy very much resembled Andy.

"Are you sure that's him?" Jake whispered as if the couple outside would hear them if he spoke too loud.

"It definitely looks exactly like him." Ashley confirmed.

"Let's go!" CC shouted and ran off the bus. "ANDY!" He ran towards him screaming.

Andy immediately reacted to the sound of his voice and smiled when he saw who was running towards him. "Guys! You found me!" Andy exclaimed.

Carolyn stood up from the ground as Andy did and stood back a little. She didn't want to interrupt his little reunion moment with his band.

"I told you he wasn't dead, Jinxx!" CC cried and Jinxx laughed.

"Okay, okay. He's not dead!" Jinxx replied.

"Hey, who are you?" Ashley looked past Andy towards Carolyn standing behind him awkwardly.

"Oh, I'm Carolyn." She introduced herself to the rest of the guys. "I'm actually a huge fan of you guys. You saved my life."

"I'm glad I could save such a beautiful soul." Ashley turned on the charm immediately.

Andy shot him a glare and made it obvious he was clearing his throat to signal him to quit it. Ashley, in return, gave him the pouty eyes.

"But she's hot!" Ashley mouthed to Andy.

Andy shook his head, disapprovingly. "Mine." He mouthed back.

"Well, now that we have Andy back, we can start the tour again!" Jake said, trying to change the subject so they could get back on the road.

"Yeah!" They all agreed except Andy.

The rest of the guys began walking back to the bus while Andy stayed back with Carolyn. He looked to her with sadness in his eyes.

"Go." She said.

"But what about you?" Andy reached for her cold hands.

She gave him a weak smile. "I'll be okay. Go live your dream. Your fans need you."

"Hey, Andy, you coming?" Ashley called back to him from the steps of the bus.

"Just a second." Andy called back and looked over at Carolyn once more. He leaned in and kissed her gently one last time before turning to get on the bus and leave her for who knew how long; possibly forever.

As the bus pulled away, a lone tear rolled down Carolyn's cheek. That was the very first tear she ever cried.
