Andy's p.o.v.
I woke up lots through the night. I just can't sleep. I'm so worried about Kara. I need something to help me sleep. I walked through to the kitchen to see if I could find anything. All I could find was a lot of medication that I had no idea about, little bottle of brandy, cigarettes and Ovaline. If I was to take the pills, brandy or cigarettes I know I would be instantly killed but I have to heat up milk for the Ovaline and there's no milk. I could still hear the tv on so I went to go and see if anyone else was still up. Nobody was awake. Ashley was asleep on the couch next to Jinxx and Jake who were leaning against each other with Jake's head rested on Jinxx's shoulder. The must have fell asleep while watching tv. I decided to just go back to bed. I walked back through to find CC sitting watching Kara.
"Em Hey CC." I whispered.
"Christ Andy what happened to you? You just disappeared man! What the fuck did you do to your hand?"
"I punched a wall."
"And why the fuck did you act like that towards Kara! She fucking about died because of you!" He sounded more angry.
"I don't know...." Which was a complete lie.
"You know what, get the fuck out of here! There's no knowing what you will do next!"
"But C I didn't mean to..."
"Just get the fuck out of here man!" He said loud but not loud enough to wake Kara. I just backed off and out the room. CC was getting really mad and I didn't want to wake Kara. I didn't want to lose another friend but I think it might be too late. I don't know where to go now. Not back outside because that will make things bad again. I can't go into the living room because that's where the guys are sleeping and CC will kill me if I go back into the bedroom. I had a choice between the kitchen or bathroom. I decided bathroom because at least I can fall asleep in the bath. I lay down in the bath and listened to one of Kara's favourite songs. Garden of Babylon by Crashdïet. A Swedish band that Kara loves. The song has a lot of guitar and really good vocals. I sang along.
"Sleepless night in purgatory
Feel the serpent next to thee
Sink into the deep unknown
Far away but I am home
Luring demons in my bed
Stay with me till I am fed
Wake up from reality
Bind my soul in extacy
Hell is open mine to pay
But I will wait another day
I live I breath
In the garden of Babylon
This is my reality
The only place I want to be
I live I breath
In the garden of Babylon
I feel undead but hear thee talking
Through the shadows I am walking
A veil of sin covers your face
Within your womb I find my space
Affirmation comes from thrust
Deep emotion burning lust
This is where I want to be
Hide me from reality
You took my silence and made it roar
Inside that violence I taste the core
This is my temple of doom
The snakepit of its mother's womb
Testing the skin against their naked teeth
Digesting venom but never to defeat
Hell is open time to play
I won't waist another day
I live I breath
In the garden of Babylon
This is my reality
The only place I want to be
I live I breath
In the garden of Babylon"
It was soon morning and I was first awake. I think I had maybe 2-3 sleep. I walked into the kitchen, got some water and breakfast then sat down in the living room. It was 9am and I had nothing else to do. I decided I would finish the photo frames for Kara. I got the measurements for the photo frames and started to cut the wood to the right size. I listened to another song Kara loves called Excited by Crashdïet, full volume in my ears, singing along. I didn't know what else to do.
"We were tasting the gutter
I think I've seen your face before
I walked around like a strutter
And you were dressed up like a whore
You tell the tale of a young girl
Who lost it to the night
We were a part of this new world
I never left you outta sight
If you need me deep inside
Let me take you to the sky
We can dream of you and I
We never tried it don't fight it tonight
If you're excited don't hide it tonight
In the rain without a cover
You put your body next to mine
You had a tail like no other
I drank whiskey
You had wine"
Ashley's p.o.v.
I woke up to the faint sound of guitars.ow I hear singing. WTF?! I woke up and saw Jinxx and Jake hugging each other. Ok?
"Oy love birds wake up!" The both woke up and just looked at each other. Wondering what the hell was going on.
"Do you mind not looking into each other's eyes lovingly and hugging for a second. You guys are maybe love each other but can you hear guitars and singing or it just me?"they broke apart and moved far away from each other.
"Hey can you hear singing?" Jinxx asked
"Well that is just what I asked dumbass."
Me, Jinxx and Jake got up slowly and saw Andy sitting in the hallway holding a photo of Kara. Tears rolling down his face. He was singing.
"You tell the tale of a young girl, Who lost it to the night, We were a part of this new world, I never left you outta sight!" He started to cry more and more. His voice breaking from the tears.
"Andy? Are you alright?" I asked
"Leave me alone." He said trying to hold back the tears.
"What's wrong? Come here."
"I said leave me alone!" he shouted
"Andy shut the fuck up you will wake Kara!" CC said as he walked out of her room.
"CC just let me see her. I need to see her."
"No! You will just hurt her more! She's still unconscious from the stunt you pulled yesterday."
"C I didn't mean it! Please." He said pleading. He got up and ran towards her door.
"Kara please. It's Andy please." His face was now streaming with tears.
"Andy get back from her!" CC roared at him! There is no way I'm ever letting you near her ever again!" He pushed Andy backwards, he fell down and sat there crying.
"CC man just let him see her! Can't you see the mess he's in?" Jake stated
"No! If Kara wants to him. He can see her but no until she says! Ok?!" CC said. I ran towards Andy and picked helped him up. Me and Jinxx sat him down on the sofa. He just sat there muttering. We tried to comfort him but nothing helped. Not even batman could save him.
I decided to go and see Kara. I knocked on the door and walked in. CC jumped up and was ready to fight anyone off.
"Hey C calm down it's just me Ash."
"Oh em right. What do you want?"
"I just came to see how Kara was. Is she awake yet?"
"No. Ash I'm really worried about her what if she's got concussion or memory loss or something."
"Listen CC she only passed out because she had a panic attack. Her body is just resting. Recovering from shock. She will be awake in a while. How long has she been asleep for?"
"12 hours, is that normal?"
"It depends on the how the body recovers and how bad the shock or injury was. If she is sleep for more than 24 hours that's maybe when we should be worried. She will be fine. Daylight is good. We need to get her into the daylight. Bring her through into the living room."
"But that madman is through there."
"Christian what the hell is wrong with you! That 'madman' is Andy, one of your best friends and your treating him like shit. Andy and Kara are best friends. Just bring her through. You can lay her down on the sofa, sit and watch her. Just bring her through. I know what Andy done was wrong but please just do it!"
"Ok." CC picked her up and brought her through into the living room. Andy stood up straight away and went straight towards Kara as CC carried her down the hallway.
"Get back!" CC growled. Andy walked backwards out of his way but followed him. CC lay her down on the sofa and we all watched her. I love her and I want to cry but I need to stay strong for everyone's sake. We have school tomorrow and it's gonna be hell. What it is gonna be like? What classes is there? Is there any bullies? Is there any boys she likes? Is there any girls I like? Are we in any of each other's classes? Andy sat holding her hand much to CC's annoyance.
"Andy will you come with me to take Gucci out for a walk."
"What if Kara wakes up? I need to be here when she wakes up." Andy said
"If Kara wakes up I will shout out the window to you." Jake said
Me and Andy got up, put Gucci's lead on and walked out the door.
"Andy we need to talk."
"What about?" He said while walking with his head down.
"Yesterday...."
"Right i know what I done was wrong and I honestly didn't mean it! I'm just jealous Ash. Jealous of you and Kara. I'm her best friend and I'm so glad I am but she really really likes you. She told me how much she likes you and it's like someone stabbing my heart. I love her so much but she just doesn't know."
"Really she likes me......" There was a long silence. "Andy why did you do that to her in the hallway?"
"I guess I wanted to scare away her feelings for you but I just scared her away from me."
"You tried to scare her away from me, what sort of a friend are you?"
"Ash I'm so sorry! Please don't hate me. Kara has probably fell out with me and I know that CC has. Please I don't want to lose another friend. Please."
"Ok Andy. You're so lucky you have a friend like me honestly."
"But Ash I swear to god if you and her start dating and you hurt her....you better hope I can't find you."
"Andy I would never hurt her. I love her too!" We shook hands and then gave each other a hug and walked into Kara's house after taking Gucci her walk.
"Ash, Andy, Kara is waking up." We ran through into the living room seeing Kara sitting up, slightly confused. Everybody was staring at her.
"What happened guys why are you all staring at me?"
"I told you she has memory loss!" CC said almost on tears. Kara looked even more confused.
"Remember this yesterday when you had a panic attack. You passed out and you have been sleeping ever since." I reminded her
"Yeah I remember now, after you (pointing to Andy) scared the hell out of me! What the fuck was that all about?" Andy looked like he was about to run off and cry again.
"Kara I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me, please!" Andy pleaded
"Andy why did you say that to me? You scared the living hell out of me then caused this!"
"Kara sweetheart I just...I mean.....I don't know how to..." Kara stood up pushing Andy out the way and stormed off to the bathroom. CC ran after her. Andy just sat on the floor silently crying to himself. He seemed like he could take no more.
