Nicole POV
When I wake up that morning, I realize Alex must have already left for work. I felt bad because of our fight last night. I decided to apologize when she got home. But for right now, I decided to go to the mall again. The same place where I ran into Andy. There was a small chance he would want to see me again, too.
I hop into my car, wearing some of the clothes I had bought yesterday. The whole car ride I was debating on whether or not Andy would actually meet me there. If he would even try to find me.
I suddenly hit the brakes when I almost ran into a bus. Dammit. Guess I should pay more attention. Then I look at the bus closer. Is that..? I quickly park into the space next to the bus and hop out, practically sprinting to the door. I knock on it.
The door opens, revealing Jake. "Woah, Nicole. Hi."
"Hi, I'm so relieved that you guys haven't left yet!" I say.
"Yeah, i think Andy's trying to find you. He wanted to tell you something."
"Where is he?" I ask.
"Taking a shower. C'mon in until he gets out."
"Great, thanks." I step inside of the bus, wiping my sweaty hands on my jeans. Why am I so nervous? And what is it Andy wants to tell me?
"Why didn't your sister come along?" Jake asks me.
"Alex is still a little...upset, about what happened last night. With Ashley."
"I understand."
Someone suddenly stumbles out from behind the curtain.
"I heard a girl say my name, what's goin' on?" It was Ashley, still looking like he was asleep. Guess he just woke up. "Woah, Nicole. You're here." He says, surprised. He's shirtless, wearing only boxers. "Where's Alex? I should probably cover up before she sees me. She can't help herself around me."
I roll my eyes. Wow. Someone's full of their self.
"She's not here." I inform him.
A concerned look crosses his face. "Oh, bummer. Is she okay? How's she doin?"
"I'm just here to talk to Andy, K?"
Ash blinks. "Alright. Sorry. I just wanted to see her again before we left.."
After that, he went behind the curtain again. I felt a little bad for being so harsh, but I really wasn't in the mood to talk about what happened last night.
I here murmuring from behind the curtain, and one sounded like Andy's voice. I tense up, becoming nervous.
Andy comes out, his short black hair wet and a towel around his waist.
"A-Andy." I stutter. 'Hi."
"Ash told me you were here."
"Yeah, um, I just wanted to see you again." i admit.
"Me too."
I smile lightly. "You did?"
He smiles back, my heart immediately melting. "Yeah, I did. And I need to ask you something." Andy comes closer to me, and it takes every ounce of my strength not to look at him almost-naked-lanky-body.
"Yeah?" I ask, urging him to continue.
His next question was very straight forward, like he had no doubt at all. "Will you go on tour with us?"
"Wha- you're kidding me, right?" I stutter. Why was I stuttering so much all of a sudden?
"No." He answers. "Why? What's wrong with it?" He's obviously surprised I didn't say yes immediately.
"Well, we just met... And I have a life! I can't just get and and go for months at a time! And Alex would be so lonely without me! I couldn't go anywhere without her."
"Then she can come with us." Andy insists.
Wow. He really wanted to make this work. "She won't come" I say.
"She won't want to spend time with Black Veil Brides? Hard to believe."
'She just won't want to spend time with Ashley, and you know that."
"What if I make him keep his hands to himself?" Andy suggests. "Will you at least ask her?"
"Yeah, I'll ask."
"Awesome!" Andy pulls me into a tight hug, and I shudder. Mostly because I was pressed against his lanky body which only had a towel around it. No biggie, right? He lets go.
"Yeah, I'll just go home, pack, and come back. I know Alex will say yes." I say. Even though I know it'll probably take some convincing to get her to agree.
"Alright. Oh, and one last thing." Andy rips a piece of paper from a notebook nearby and scribbles something on it. Then he hands it to me. "If you need to call me, you can."
I just got Andy Biersack's number.
"Thanks. I'll see you later."
And with that, I exit the bus.
Andy POV
Once Nicole leaves, I rush behind the curtain to where the guys were bunking.
"Guys, she said yes! She said yes!"
"No she didn't, idiot. She said she'd ask Alex." Ash grumbles, trying to get back to sleep.
I pull back his curtain, sunlight streaming onto him.
"Dude! Close the curtain!" He growls.
"She'll come, I know she will. And Alex might come along."
"Oh, joy." Ash says sarcastically.
"And if she does, you have to keep your hands to yourself, got it? Alex isn't your girlfriend. You can't touch her or make perverted comments to her."
"Aw, why do you have to take the fun out of everything?" Ash complains, pulling the covers over his head.
"Because I'm actually trying to be serious about this. I want this to work." I explain.
Ash peeks out from under his covers. "I think it'll work for you. Congratulations."
"Thanks, man."
He looks me up and and down. "Go put some clothes on."
"Oh. Okay."
