Angels and Saviors and Whatnot

Andy’s POV

After the deer dinner, I had called Ashley to come get CC and fly him back home with Alli and I. When he got there, he shook his head and picked CC up, motioning that it was time to go home. I picked Alli up and kissed the top of her head. We flew up out of the trees and back towards the direction of LA.
------------------------------------------------------
“Andy, how long till we’re home?” Alli asked, after flying for about 2 hours. I could tell by her voice that she was tired, and she just wanted to go home.

“Just a couple more minutes, we’re finally in California again. Just hang in there babe,” I said, squeezing her fragile body closer to mine. Her bones were sticking out, and it worried me that she didn’t eat a lot when CC was done cooking. She just had this blank look on her face as she picked at the meat and when she announced that she was done, maybe only one fourth of the meat was actually gone.

The sun was going down over the Cali grass, and the pink and orange sky was getting darker by the minute. I caught sight of my house and signaled to Ashley that we were almost home. I swooped down behind the house and into the backyard, retracting my wings when I landed. I put Alli down gently and looked to my right to see Ashley landing with CC.

“Thank you for taking me home,” CC said, his eyes wide. “It’s been at least 4 or 5 years since I’ve seen grass like this.” He fell to his knees and put his face in the grass, taking a deep breath. “I can’t believe I’m free.”

“Of course you are, you’re finally home C,” Alli said, picking him up off of the grass and hugging him.

Seething jealousy surged through my body and I couldn’t control myself. It should have been me who saved her, me who was there when Sandy died, it all should have been me. Not CC. I’m her soul mate, I’m the one who loves her unconditionally. Not CC. I stalked over to Alli and CC and grabbed one of Alli’s arm, not too harshly, but enough to tell her to let go. She looked up and got the message through my face, letting go of CC’s skinny torso. I pulled her aside a couple yards away from CC and took her hands in mine.

“What’s wrong?” Her eyes were laced with concern and I sighed. How was I going to explain this to her without sounding pathetic?

“Nothing, I just missed you…a lot. I want you to be with me for a little while, okay?” God I’m such an idiot.

“I get it. I’ll be up in our room, okay? Come up when you’re ready. But first, I wanna say hi to your parents and take a well needed shower. Just, come get me when you’re ready.” She smiled and stood on her tip toes to kiss my cheek. I turned my head just in time for her to peck my lips and smirked as she playfully slapped my arm. She slid open the glass door that led into the house and stepped inside, leaving me with Ashley and CC.

I looked at CC and his eyes were following Alli’s ass as she walked inside. The anger bubbling up was pouring over and I jumped on top of him, pinning his arms to the ground with my hands.

“What the hell is wrong with you!? Why do you keep staring at her!? She’s mine! Don’t you understand that!? Mine!” My eyes turned red with anger and my voice was louder than I thought it was.

“Jealous much?” CC’s voice came out clear and strong, and I hated that he wasn’t the least bit scared. He smiled up at me as if we were best friends and Ashley cleared his throat.

“Andy doesn’t do so well with other guys hitting on his girlfriend. You better keep your hands off of her,” the bassist warned.

“My hands didn’t touch her. My lips did.” He snickered and added, “Why weren’t you there in her time of need, when I was? Some boyfriend you are.”

“Look kid, you better shut your mouth before I do it for you. And”- Wait, his lips touched her? “Wait, what do you mean your lips touched Alli?”

“Are you dull? I kissed her you idiot. I’ve always liked her, she has such nice lips too-.“ I cut him off by kneeing him in the groin, making him groan in agony. Satisfied with my doing, I got up and kicked him in the ribs, laughing as I did so.

I slid the glass door open and stomped up the stairs to my room, slamming and locking the door shut behind me. I slumped to the floor, putting my face in my hands, letting the thoughts run wild in my head. I wasn’t there for her when I should have been. I was out touring and partying when I should have been there, waiting for her to return home. I fucked up. She’s traumatized. She had to kill her best friend, and who was there to comfort her? CC. Not me. He was there for her when all I was doing was…

The door handle jiggled and I picked my head up, wiping my tears from my face. I stood up, swiveling my body towards the door.

“Andy?” Alli’s voice came through the door muffled and worried. I took a deep breath and opened the door with the best fake smile I could plaster onto my face.

“Hey Alli Cat,” I said, hoping she wouldn’t notice I had been crying. Her hair was up in a towel, and her body was also wrapped in a fluffy towel.

“Are you okay?” she asked hesitantly. Fuck.

“Yeah, I’m fine, just, I have something to ask you,” I said, looking down to the carpet. I opened the door a bit more so she could step inside and closed it after she sat down the bed. She smiled and pat a spot next to her, telling me to sit down.

I slowly walked over to the bed and sat down, farther away than she wanted me, and I folded my hands in my lap. My head snapped in her direction when she scooted closer to me, my eyes wild and I needed to ask.

“Did CC kiss you while you were out there in the woods?”

“Andy who told you that?” She reached out to place a hand on mine but I stood up and towered over her, wanting her to be a little scared.

“Did he, or not Allison?” My voice was poison and my wings sprung from my back, making me seem even more dangerous. Alli cowered back into the headboard of the bed, and the towel wrapped around her body began to unravel, exposing some skin. My inner boyfriend instincts kicked in and I reached out to tuck the towel back in, only to see my girlfriend sink away from my hand.

“Andy you’re scaring me.” She pulled her knees up to her chest and hid her head, and that made me realize that I was over reacting. It wasn’t that big of a deal. Besides, I had done much worse to her…

“Alli….you know I would never hurt you. Please, I just want to know if it’s true or not. I think I deserve to know.” I sat down on the bed, pulling her tense body into my lap as I rubbed her back. Her towel fell off completely, and luckily she had a bra and underwear on. I threw the towel to the floor and continued rubbing her back, hearing her softly cry into my chest. It broke my heart, and my still exposed wings wrapped themselves around us, creating a seal from the rest of the world.

“I didn’t even kiss him back, and that's why I didn't eat at all. I knew you would hate me if I told you,” she sobbed. Her body shook as she cried and I didn’t know what to do. I was an asshole. A complete douche bag. And soon, I could feel the tears building up and spilling over. One in particular hit Alli’s skin, making her stop crying. She looked up, her red eyes puffy, and she wiped my tears with a delicate thumb.

“Why are you crying?” she asked softly. I could tell by the tone in her voice that she meant what she said, she was truly concerned, and it made the tears fall even more.

“I should have been there for you. Not him. I couldn’t be there for you in the time you needed me the most. I was out touring and partying and I wasn’t even thinking about how I was going to come get you. When Sandy died, the first thing that came to my head was ‘who’s gonna be our drummer now?’ I’m so sorry. I failed. I failed to protect you and I failed you, as your soul mate and boyfriend.” I buried my face into the crook of Alli’s neck.

“You were just doing what you needed to Andy. I’m okay now. I don’t love you any less than I did before, and to be honest, I think I love you even more.” She placed her lips to mine, very slowly and just kissed me for a few seconds. She pulled back and uttered the words I’ve wanted to hear for three months.

“I love you Andrew Dennis Biersack.”

And then, something strange started happening.

My wings started to change colors. The tips were turning a pure white, and it spread all through the rest of the feathers. The feeling it gave me, was amazing. I felt happy, very happy, ecstatic even, and it bubbled inside me like a shaken-up Coca Cola. I unwrapped my wings from Alli and I, standing up and staring at my wings. Alli took notice and gasped, putting a hand over her mouth. She backed away, her back bumping against the head board. She jumped up and threw some clothes on before screaming “Ashley! Ash, we need you!”

I heard Ashley come thundering up the stairs and he threw the door open, When he caught sight of my wings, his eyes widened and his jaw almost hit the floor.

“Andy, you’re, you’re,” he stuttered. He staggered back and his back hit the wall. “I’ve only heard about this in class and read it in books, I didn’t think this was possible.”

“Ash, what the hell is happening to me?” My voice came out shaky and when my wings were done turning white, they started to glow, making me look like a true Angel from Heaven. My eyes darted to Ashley’s direction to see that he had fallen to the floor.

“Andy, God has forgiven you for what you’ve done. He’s inviting you back into Heaven.”
