We're Setting Worlds On Fire

Andy groaned as he rolled over and then a hiss escaped his mouth. His ribs were killing him, but that’s what he got for being stupid and thinking he could fucking fly. He knew it was time to get up, but everything in Andy was telling him that he needed to sleep for just a little bit longer. It was also so hot outside-Warped Tour was proving to be a bigger challenge than he had thought it was going to be. Andy groaned as he heard footsteps approaching his bunk and he only pulled his black covers over his messy hair and hoped that whoever was standing beside him would just go away. He was slightly hung over and not in the fucking mood to socialize.


“Dude…get up.” It was Ashley-damn him. The bassist was on this kick of trying to make Andy feel better, but the singer was fighting him tooth and nail. A year spent running around, chasing girls and drinking himself to sleep was proving to be a pretty poor choice for the now exhausted singer.

“No!” Andy said, his voice muffled as he held on to the covers and yet Ashley was able to pull them down. The bassist and best friend was standing over him, shirtless with his ever present cowboy hat teetering on his teased hair.

“Andy come on…it’s your fucking turn.” Ashley said, smirking as his friend groaned and tried to turn over. The kid had some fucking guts-but those guts had almost caused them to miss the tour entirely. Who the fuck would jump off of a marble riser and think that nothing bad was going to happen?

Andrew Dennis Biersack-of course.

“I don’t fucking want to…send Jinxx. I can’t go out there man…they’ll mob me.” Andy said as he looked up at his best friend and sighed. Andy had a point-the girls loved him and any time he was out in the crowds they tended to flock to him. It had been fun for a while, but Andy was looking for something a little bit more…someone more.

“It’s you’re fucking turn! Now hurry the fuck up because we have to be on in an hour and a half!” Ashley called over his shoulder and Andy only groaned as he finally got up and began to move around.


There would be no shower this morning and as Andy quickly applied his makeup-this was getting to be a hassle-and got some clothes on, he knew that this was going to be a long day. Where were they again? Oh yeah-somewhere in fucking Virginia where the sun was taking up a permanent residence. Andy sighed as he ran a hand through his still teased hair and then he groaned-hopefully he didn’t run in to any singers from bands that he had recently had a poorly timed fling with. Andy was always doing that-picking girls who just weren’t for him…they didn’t get him and they probably never would. Maybe he was destined to be alone?

Finished in the bathroom, Andy sighed as he opened the door and walked towards the front of the bus. All of the other guys were awake and Andy only smirked as he walked to the front and saw them all sitting around the television. Some video game was on the screen and Ashley and CC were battling it out whilst throwing around as many curse words as possible. Andy only stood there for a minute, his phone in his hands and he noticed that both his mother and father had called him. Crap-his mom was still freaking out about the broken rib thing and Andy only sighed as he walked towards the door.


“You guys sure no one wants to go in my place?” He called over his shoulder and Ashley only groaned as he got up and moved towards the bus door.

“No man-now go! Oh and your mom called again!” Ashley said as he closed the door in Andy’s face and then locked it behind him. The kid needed to get the fuck off the bus, quit his fucking sulking and do what had to be done. No one liked checking on the merch tent…but they had agreed that they would all take turns and today was Andy’s.


The sun was making everything around him sizzle and as Andy walked through the crowd he tried to keep his head down. He just wanted to get to the tent, check on Toby and get back inside the bus. He usually loved being around the fans-they had given him everything-but today he just didn’t feel like fighting them off. He loved the attention, but sometimes Andy wished he could find someone who would just talk to him like a normal person, instead of fawning over him every second. Finally the tent seemed to come up in the distance and Andy noticed that they must’ve opened the gates.

People were flooding past and as Andy stopped at the tent and watched the kids moving like an ocean, he couldn’t help but pick out one girl in particular. She didn’t look like the rest-her blonde hair with the pink tips shining in the sun-and Andy noticed that she kind of looked out of place. She was lost in the wave of the crowd and he almost called out to help her, but with a determined look on her cute face Andy noticed that she had been able to pull herself out and had used the pole of their merch tent to do it.

Okay-this was a no parking zone and just as Andy was about to say something to the girl before him, who had her back almost up against his chest, he happened to look down at her arm that was holding on to the pole.

A tattoo-she had quite a few-but this one was different. It was a cupcake…with a Batman theme. Was this girl real? Andy cleared his throat and put his most adorable smirk on his pierced lips.


“That is an awesome Batman tattoo…” His voice sounded raspy and still sleep filled and he watched as the girl jumped, turned around and almost knocked him over. She was slightly shorter than him and Andy noticed that she had a blush creeping across her nose-adorable.

“Uh-thanks…” She said, but Andy wasn’t paying attention to what she was saying anymore-he was too busy getting lost in her eyes.


Moss green-a very pretty color for a very pretty girl and Andy knew as he stared down in to those moss green eyes that this had been fate. Maybe coming out to the tent today hadn’t been such a mistake after all…

A Love By Mistake
