I Am Here.

Andy let go of his ever so loving hug. He then kissed the tip of my nose which was adorned with a small gold nose ring on my left side of my face accompanying my side swept bangs. Suddenly, the door into the room which Andy and I were in, swung open and there stood the woman that was in the room earlier.
“Andy Honey, can you give me a neck rub, pretty please?” she asked as crossed the room and sat on Andy’s lap. “My neck and shoulders are killing me since I’m a professional singer at Warped Tour and all.” She shot me a look saying, ‘Be jealous bitch.’ “Besides, it’s tiring and you’re my boyfriend and my White Rabbit.” She said with a smirk as she pecked him on the cheek. So this is Juliet… What a bitch.
“Not now Juliet,” Andy begged, slightly annoyed, “can’t you see I am busy?”
“Oh, but you’ve already spent soooooo much time with her,” scoffing as she said ‘her’ with a puppy dog pout. This bitch! Here I was crying my eyes out only a few minutes ago and she is complaining that I’ve been spending too much time with him?!
“Juliet, you need to leave.” Andy said sternly as he sat still as Juliet was trying to coax a hug out of him. Juliet became pissed.
“Fine. I see how it is. When you’re done here, we need to talk…about us.”
“I completely agree.” Andy said cold heartedly. Juliet stood up, so fast in fact that the KISS clock came tumbling of the bunk. I tried to catch it, but I fumbled and it hit the hard, wood flooring. With a small gasp and my mouth slightly opened, I stared at the KISS clock. A giant piece of the record had broken off. The rest were fine. The KISS album, the only one that really mattered, had the piece missing.
“Oops. Sorry.” Juliet said sarcastically as she left the room, slamming the door, leaving the bus to stand outside and smoke, waiting for Andy.
“Jesus Christ.” Andy muttered under his breath as he rolled his eyes. He hopped off the bunk and carefully picked up the broken clock like it was a baby bird. “I’m so very sorry Emily. It was so cool and you worked so hard on this…” Andy trailed off.
“It’s fine. I can easily make another one. It just takes luck a lot of searching and luck to find a KISS 45’” I stated half-heartedly.
“The others behind it are still intact; it’s just the KISS record…Sorry about Juliet acting the way she did.”
“No, it’s fi-”
“No it’s not fine,” Andy interrupted, “She’s changed. She’s not the Juliet I fell in love with.” Andy looked deep into my eyes. His, filled with sorrow. “She’s not my soul mate anymore.”
“I’m sorry,” I said apologetically, grabbing his hand, “I hate to say this Andy, but you need to break up with her… You deserve much better.” I stated my opinion.
“I know,” Andy hung his head, “it’s just that…I never thought I’d be breaking up with her. I didn’t want her to change. I don’t know why she did either. That’s the part that bugs me. But you’re right; I need to break up with her. I feel like it needs to be done today. She’s waiting outside anyway. This needs to be done now.” Andy gingerly placed the clock on top my drawstring bag. “In the meantime, do you want to officially meet the band?”
Um, duh. “Of course!” I stated excitedly, standing up, obviously showing the huge height difference between me and Andy. Andy chuckled at this.
“Here, let me take my boots off so I lose 3 inches.” Andy took off his boots. He was still taller, but it did make me feel a bit better. “Come on, let’s go.” Andy said escorting me out of the bunk room. I opened the door to the main sitting area where I heard Devyn and the guys chatting. Next thing I know, a huge sheet was thrown over Andy and I and we were tackled to the ground.
“OH MY GOD, LET ME GO!!!” I laugh/yelled.
“TICKLE HER!!!” CC screamed.
“OH, NO!!! CC-HAHAHA-CC SERIOUSLY-HAHAHA-YOU GUYS-HAHAHA-STOP-HAHAHAHA!!!” I laughed uncontrollably. Andy must have escaped because I heard the front door to the bus slam and a female voice say ‘Finally’ in a really rude way. Well, I guess this is how I’m going to meet the guys. I couldn’t see shit, so I didn’t know where my attackers were coming from until their hands were on my sides. “OMG STOP I CAN’T BREATHE!! OW, YOUR’E HURTING MY BROKEN RIBS!! HAHAHA!!!” I screamed, laughing.
“Alright, enough’s enough. Let her go. She’s had a rough day as it is without you fuckers suffocating her. I want to meet her alive please and thank you.” Jake said from across the room, not partaking in the tickling.
“Ugg, fine.” Jinxx said as the sheet was whipped off of me. I sat up and fixed my hair and my clothes just in time to see Andy walk back on the bus, slamming the door, adorning a bright red hand print on his left cheek.
“Whoa, nice 5 star dude. Compliments of Juliet I presume.” Ashley teased as everyone looked toward Andy.
“She wasn’t too thrilled that I broke up with her. But it was a mutual breakup, so I don’t understand the need to slap me.” Andy confessed as he entered the room and sat himself down on the couch next to Jake.
“I’m glad you broke up with her. She hasn’t been herself. She has definitely changed.” Jinxx spoke wisely, still sitting on the ground with CC, Ashley, and Devyn, the rest of my attackers.
“Yeah. Surprisingly, I’m not actually that sad. I guess that’s because she changed too much.” Andy said with a half-smile. Then, there was a knock at the door.
“PIZZA!!!!” Jake yelled as he sprung up from the couch and sprinted to the door, followed right behind by CC.
“We ordered pizza, by the way.” Ashley stated nonchalantly, unlocking his phone and scrolling through texts.
“I can see that.” Andy sat still with a chuckle and eyes wide. “Do you want to stay and have pizza with us?” Andy asked Devyn and I.
“I would love too, but I have to go. It’s almost 6:00 and I have to work at 7:30 and it takes me half an hour to get home,” Devyn said sadly.
“That’s ok, then it will just be the guys and I and Emily then.” Andy smiled as he looked into my eyes. His smile turned into a frown when he saw a frown on my face too.
“Emily and I carpooled here, actually…” Devyn stated sadly, “so she will have leave too.”
“I don’t want to go through Devyn,” I pleaded, “is there any way that you could skip or something?”
“You know I can’t do that. I’ve skipped out so many times that I have no more skip days left and I would be fired. We have to go.” Devyn said apologetically.
“I could take you home!” Andy interjected. “We got a rental car, just in case one of us wanted to go into town. I can drive you whenever you want to leave.” A huge smile crept on my face as I turned to look at Devyn.
“Ok, that settles it then! I got to go. See ya Emily.” Devyn said goodbye. “Make sure you use a condom.” Devyn whispered in my ear as she pulled me in for a hug.
“Haha! Oh my god Devyn.” I said playfully slapping her in the arm. She got up, said goodbye to the guys as they came back into the room, and left, but not before she took a piece of pizza for the road.
“WE GOT THE PIZZA!” CC screamed in excitement as he plopped down on the floor next to me. The rest of the guys joined us and Andy relocated from the couch to the floor as well. Jake flipped open the 2 boxes and we dug in. I feel like I’m one of the guys, included, like family, and most importantly, loved.

Notes

This one is a long one guys. :) I bet your'e happy about that. Haha!
Disclaimer: I don't HATE Juliet, but I don't particularly like her either. I think she is kinda pushy and I think she thinks too highly of herself. I don't care that Andy says they are soul mates, I think he can do much better than her. That's just my opinion, don't hate. Just had to put that out there.
Hope you enjoy that chapter. This one is my favorite by far. :) <3
