The girl across the hall

"Hey man it's ash. I'm just calling to warn you that Jon made a deal with Juliet's manager that she could come on the tour with us since the band that was opening for us broke up. Remember to be at the venue at 4:30 so that we have time to get ready and shit. See you and happy late birthday man."
Andy groans as the beep sounds from their land line, signaling the end of the message that Ashley left while the couple were still sleeping. He looks up at Arielle who had just walked out of the bedroom, a concerned look on her face as she buckles her pale purple studded belt. Andy drinks in her casual sundress, smirking as his eyes find the tattoo she had gotten on her collarbone the week prior. He sighs as she picks up her folder from the counter, placing a quick kiss on his cheek before heading to the door.
"Hey-"
Andy turns to see Arielle standing in the doorway, a small smirk on her face.
"Don't stress about tour with Juliet. It may be awkward but at least you don't have to spend every waking moment with her. At the end of the day, she goes back to her van and you go back to your bus."

The singer cracks a small smile, closing the space between them as he wraps an arm around her waist. "You know I love you. Right?"
"Of course. My soulmate." Arielle giggles, letting her lips land on the perfectly molded plush ones.

She heads out the door to go to her work then, leaving Andy to finish his last minute packing.

As he stuffs the leather jacket in his bag he begins to think of where he could go to get what he wanted for Arielle. His plan to give it to her after your might have to wait until the next one when he was in Europe where they have better shops. Plus some places the American dollar is worth almost double since there is such a bad economy. Maybe when they head to Italy he can find the perfect one there?

Arielle puts her head in her hands as she tries to figure out what to type up for the article. It's due by the end of the week and so far she has no idea what to write. The fact that Andy is leaving for over a month may play apart in the writers block. She was nervous- she had every right it be. Their relationship hadn't been stressed through a tour before and while she trusted Andy, the two parties was who he was worried about. What if they tried to convince him to cheat? Andy is a man and they can only resist female sexual interest for so long...
It's not to say she doesn't trust him, because she does. Just she doesn't trust that groupies won't go a little too far with him.

"Arielle, you ok?" A concerned Isis asks from the doorway, her clipboard held tight against her suit covered side. Her hair is tied back in a loose ponytail and her posture relaxes as she closes the heavy wooden door and takes a seat across from the stressed writer. The secretary has changed since they have both moved to a higher position, only in the public eye though. As she slumps down in the chair, popping the button on her jacket Arielle smirks. "You know you don't have to wear that?"
"All the other secretaries do- and I just don't want to deal with their snotty gossip anymore." She sighs, her chest heaving. Arielle chuckles while one of her closest friends pulls out her hair from the ponytail, sliding off the jacket.
"I think tomorrow night we need to go out for some drinks? Or a girls night in? Me, you and Delaney?" Isis suggests, raising an eyebrow at Arielle who's head is slumped down on the desk.
"Not even that, how about a sleepover at my place since Andy and Jack are both going to be on tour by then? Get drunk off our ass and share random stories?"
"Yes! Is it just me or are they just giving us the unimportant jobs?"
"They are, probably to test our worth and discourage me from becoming editor when Jane goes on maternity leave next month."
Arielle groans and sits back in her chair, feeling a cramp come on. Why would she be having cramps now? Her period isn't supposed to happen for another two weeks. Weird.

Andy smiles softly at Arielle as they pull up to the venue. Her outfit is a bit more edgy and punk than normal with a ripped kiss crop tank top, high waisted leather shorts and her black dr. Martens. Arielle climbs out of the car, kissing him on the cheek as she laces their hands together. The line outside the venue is huge- bigger than either of them expected it to be since the record or movie hadn't even came out yet.

Arielle glances at the fans while Andy smiles at them while walking by. Some of them yell to him to go over and sign stuff, only to have him tell them he has to go inside and get ready. A few girls scoff at her, or send glares but unfortunately she is used to the hateful pubescent teens attitudes towards her. As Andy drags her along towards the door to the venue, she kisses his cheek, sending a smirk to some teenage fangirls who are rolling their eyes.

"Babe, can you help me, I can't get this line right." Andy says while holding up the brush with white paint on it. She takes it from his hands, sitting him down in a chair. Her slim fingers curl around his shoulder while the brush delicately glides across his face.
"This isn't working." Arielle mutters before plopping down so she is straddling Andy's lap.

"Hey! No sex on the couch!" Ashley shouts from across the dressing room. Arielle holds up her middle finger behind her back. Andy chuckles and lets her finish the small line that is being dragged across his face.

"You look so fucking hot." She whispers into his ear, placing a light kiss on Andy's neck before hopping off of his lap to go put the white paint down. The singers tattooed arms snake back around her waist and pull her down onto his lap. The rest of black veil brides groan, being none of them have girls of their own in the dressing room. Ella is off in Europe to Jake's upset and none of the other men have a lover.

Arielle's middle finger flashes at the bassist who's eyes have wandered to the bit of exposed skin of her chest.
"I'm not a whore purdy. I bet there's plenty of fangirls with a much larger chest that would be dying to have you stare at them. Fuck off."

"Well fuck you too." Ashley grumbles under his breath, turning to put the last bit of hairspray in his hair.

The band gets the five minute warning and heads out to side stage. Arielle watches their crew members scramble to get their set up perfect for the first day of tour. Andy does a few jumps, trying to loosen up a bit before the big performance. It's the first one playing songs on the unreleased album. Arielle chuckles as the guys shout 'show 'em the biscuits' before cc rushes out on stage. The crowds cheers get louder as each band member runs on the stage. Andy kisses Arielle one last time before running on stage with a huge smile. She smirks as they begin with shadows die, and Andy gets the show rolling. This is the first rock concert she's ever been to and so far she feels the most welcomed out of any concert she's been to.

"Hey, you must be Arielle." A voice says behind her. The writer turns with her cigarette in her mouth- before it falls open that is. Arielle gapes at the singer in front of her, not even realizing how not-rockstar-girlfriend-material she looks. Juliet chuckles and lights her own cigarette.
"I- I'm really a huge fan of your music Juliet." Arielle says after regaining composure. Juliet smiles at this and looks her over- she's pretty, that's for sure. And she seems to make Andy happy and that's what matters.
"Thank you. So how are you guys doing?"
"Good... I mean I'm really going to miss him over this tour, but the love is worth the distance." Arielle takes another drag of her cigarette, shrugging her top off her shoulder. Juliet smiles at this. "How's crow doing?"
"He's good. We got him a little sweater for Christmas. I have a picture if you want to see." Arielle pulls up her phone and shows Juliet the picture who aww's softly at the kitten. The writer asks for a picture as the band jumps into I am bullet proof. They chat, exchange numbers all while the performance is going until it is time for Juliet to preform lost it all. She gets her mic and shares Arielle a smile before walking on stage to join the band.

"Can't you see that we all fall down sometimes?"

They sing in sync, on separate sides of the stage to engage the audience as much as possible. Juliet bounds off the stage soon after the song ends, letting Black Veil Brides finish their set with in the end.

"I love you. I'll call you as soon as you're home alright?" Andy whispers while wiping away tears from Arielle's eyes. She nods, before hugging him closer, not wanting him to leave. As much as Andy loves touring, he hates goodbyes. If only he could take her with him. A tear of his own lands on Arielle's head as he places his lips on her forehead. A final goodbye kiss is exchanged before bus call is announced and the tour bus drives away, leaving Arielle standing near her car with a few stray tears still suspended on her cheeks. A few fans walk up to her and ask her what dating Andy is like.

"Well, it's hard to explain in words but he just makes me feel happy and more alive. Both of our lives are very hectic so whenever we have downtime we spend it together." She gets pulled in to a hug by one of the older fan's who notices that she is beginning to cry.
