Far And Away.

Andy and Flora finished cleaning the gym, though it took extra long since they trashed it even more. All the while they listened to The Misfits, Motley Crüe, and even some All Time Low and Mayday Parade for Flora. She was slowly starting to see that Andy was a good guy, who just needed to get his priorities straight.

The pair walked out of the gym, once they got the go ahead from Coah Jameson, whom Flora had forgotten about since she hadn't taken gym in two years.

"He seemed like a bit of an ass." Andy chuckled as they walked through the halls of the seemingly abandoned school.

"He is." Flora nodded. They made it to the doors and she knew Andy was staring at her.

"Can I walk you home?"

"You kind of have too." She smirked.

"Well then let's get to it." He grinned. They walked out of the building and on to the old, cracked side walk. "Hanging with Bret today?" He bit his lip ring. Flora shrugged.

"I don't know, I haven't talked to him in a while." She sighed. Andy felt a little bit of hope soar through him.

"I'm sorry." He said, shoving his hands in his pockets, resisting the urge to reach out and grab hers.

"It's no big deal. His mom is kind of crazy, so sometimes she takes his phone or whatever." Flora said, brushing her hair behind her ear. She was well aware of Andy's closeness and the way his key's jingled in his pocket as he walked. His bright lips look so..kissable.

"That sucks. I can't imagine having parents who got all up in my life." He chuckled. "You know, if you don't have anything to do, you could come with me to my band practice."

"Band?" Flora quirked her eyebrow.

"Oh yeah," Andy fluffed his hair up in the back. A habit Flora had taken notice too. "Ash, CC, Jake, Jinxx, and I have band. Black Veil Brides."

"That's cool." Flora said, softly.

"So?"

"I don't know if it's a great idea, Andy." She sighed, "I almost cheated on Bret once today. I don't think we should tempt it. It's not in the cards." Andy looked down at his feet, sadly. They were almost to the apartment building and in the distance Flora could see a skinny, pale guy walking towards them.

She was hoping it was Bret but as the guy drew closer she could see it wasn't. It was one of Andy's friends.

"Dude! Where the hell have you been? Your late!" The guy yelled.

"Chill Jake. I got caught on the roof with Flora, and we had to clean the gym as punishment." Jake crossed his arms.

"What were you two doing up there?" He said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Nothing." Andy grumbled, cutting a look towards Flora. "Just talking as friends. That's all we'll ever be. See you later, Flora." He said, walking away with Jake.

Flora shook her head and kept walking towards her apartment. Her moms car was parked outside and she was happy she'd be able to talk to her. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket as she opened the door to the building. She grabbed it seeing it was from Bret.

I've got something important to tell you.

She felt her heart tighten as she replyed okay. What could this be about?
