"Did you make..cookies!?" Andy exclaimed, walking over to Emerson who was lighting a candle on the counter of the bus.

"Shut up!" She hit him behind the head. "I want to make a good impression."
Andy's parents were coming today and Emerson was beyond nervous. "Look, they're simple people. They wouldn't have cared if you didn't clean the whole bus babe." He looked around at the spotless front room.

A knock on the bus door shook them both from their thoughts. "Oh god.."

"Stop stressing." He chuckled, kissing her forehead. He walked to the door and smiled as he saw none other than Amy and Chris Biersack. "Hey guys!" He exclaimed, giving them both long hugs.

"We missed you so much, Andrew!" Amy grinned against her sons shoulder. "Let me look at you!"
She grabbed his face and smiled at all of the new tattoos he had.

"I missed you guys too, come in!" He smiled, stepping to the side. Emerson smiled at them both taking them in.

Chris was a burly man with lots of tattoos, some clearly dedicated to Black Veil Brides. He had brown eyes and tan skin with a shaved head.

Amy was petite and she had pretty blonde hair. Her eyes matched Andy's almost perfectly.
They both wore Black Veil Brides merch and Emerson smiled at how proud they seemed.

"This is my girlfriend, Emerson Carter." Andy said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"Hi doll." Amy grinned, pushing Andy and giving her a hug. "We're so happy Andy has you."

"Aw thank you." Emerson smiled. "It's very nice to meet you both."

"You too." Chris smiled. "Ooh cookies!" He reached into the bowl Emerson put out and took a bite.

"Em made them." Andy said, reaching back and grabbing her waist again. He had a cute little backwards had on and it made Emerson smile.

"What time do you perform?" Amy asked.

"6:15, I think." Andy replied, staring down at who he thought to be the love of his life. "We have a signing at three."

"Whose closing?" Emerson asked.

"Sirens." Andy sighed, his hip leaning on the counter. The door opened to the bus and a few of the guys walked on. CC, and Jake.

"Hey Biersack's!" CC grinned, giving them both hugs as Jake shook their hands.

"Hey guys." Amy smiled, "How Ya doing?"

"Awesome." Jake said making CC nod. Emerson felt her phone start to vibrate in her pocket so she grabbed it quickly to see it was none other than Juli.

"You can answer it." Andy said into her ear. She smiled up at him and walked away before answering.

"Hello?" She grinned.

"Trouble! I miss you!" Juli exclaimed.

"I miss you too!" Emerson said. "How are things going?"

"Alright. Not the same without my star but I'll get over it." Juli chuckled.

"I'm sure you will. So why are you calling?" Emerson asked, fidgeting with her tight black pants.

"Just wanted to check in. We have a lot of things to discuss when you get home but I want to do it in person." Juli said.

"Okay. Good or bad?" Emerson giggled.

"Great. Love you Trouble."

"Love you too." Emerson ended the call and walked back to her boyfriend and his parents.

"What's up?" Andy asked, taking a bite of his cookie.

"Just Juli checking in." She smiled. Andy nodded and walked to grab a beer from the fridge.

"Anyone else want one?" He asked and laughed as everyone in the room replied with a loud
"yes".

"Thanks babe." Emerson said, kissing his cheek. She popped the top off and took a long sip. She noticed Chris staring at her arms, scanning all the ink. It was nice- and she knew that. It was the one thing that Emerson spent a lot of money on and she loved every tattoo equally.

"You have some amazing ink." Chris said, shaking his head. She grinned at him.

"Thank you so much." She said. "You too! You and Andy both ha e great tattoos."

"Lots of mine are about BVB." Chris smiled, a sense of pride filling his eyes.

"I see. They're all so cool." Emerson smiled. Andy and her talked about getting a few together but she was apprehensive.

"Well, why don't we go watch a few other bands, talk to Kevin for a bit." Andy suggested.

Everyone seemed content with the idea and soon Amy, Chris, Emerson, and Andy set out to go find Kevin Lyman.

He was probably running around, which made it harder to find him but finally they did. Kevin loved Andy and in turn absolutely adored Emerson since she made him so happy. He was convinced that they'd be together forever.
Well, everyone was.

Emerson smiled at Andy as they waited back stage for their set. His face was already red and he looked incredibly angry. Kevin was behind them talking to Chris, Amy, and the other guys while the stage was getting set up.

"Honey, are you okay?" Emerson asked, brushing his hair back.

"Not really." He mumbled, crossing his foot over the other. Emerson smirked at his vans, remembering when his boots melted in Vegas. That was one of the hottest days of her life.

"Hey, no one is booing yet. Just go out there and give it all you've got. Show any of those assholes that you're amazing." She smiled, planting a firm kiss against his forehead. He smiled softly.

"Thanks Em." He said. She grinned as he pulled her to his chest. The guys walked up to them and Emerson chuckled at CC as he stuck his tongue out.

"Brides- you have one minute." Jon said. They all nodded and Ashley and Andy began warming up their voices a little more.

Emerson talked to Amy and Chris for a little while before they heard Overture start to play. Andy grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss. She smiled and ruffled his hair before pulling away. "You're okay, love."

"Okay, love you." He said.

"You too." She crossed her arms as she watched all of the guys run on, Andy of course being last.

They started with Bulletproof as always and she could see as the song went on, Andy was getting more and more frustrated as the song went on.

Most of the crowd was really in to it, having a great time and enjoying the show but their were a few people in the back flicking them off. It was nothing they hadn't handled before but Andy was already extra pissed today.

Emerson tried to get his attention as the song ended but he was in his own world. They went through the next song, Andy getting angrier by the second. His cheeks were red and sweat was pouring down his face as he gave it everything he had. But the moment Emerson feared most was when he started talking.

And talk he did.

"Listen you mother fuckers in the back? There are a lot of kids out here today that want to see this show. They want to enjoy this set and your making it less than enjoyable for all of us." Emerson felt her heart drop in her stomach as all the kids looked around, confused.

This was all in Andy's head. He was getting too angry over something that happened years ago. Something that none of these kids were bringing up now, in fact most of them probably had no idea what was going on.

As he went on yelling, she felt Kevin's hand rest on her shoulder. "He said this would happen but I don't see what's wrong." He shook his head.

"Nothing's wrong, he's in his own head." Emerson sighed.

"We need to get his attention. Calm him down." Kevin said. Emerson thought for a second before going over to the tech guy standing side stage.

"You need to tell him to come over here." She said. The guy looked at her, seeing the backstage pass around her neck and nodded.

She watched as he spoke to Andy in his in-ear. He glanced over at Emerson after finishing his last spout of words. Ashley was speaking now so he jogged over to her. She pulled him into her arms making the crowd go crazy as she ran her fingers through his sweaty hair.

"You need to calm down, baby. There are only a few guys out there and a whole sea of people that want to see this show. Give them everything you've got and you can let your steam out by playing as hard as you can." He nodded at her every word and just simply kissed her. The crowd went crazy over them simply talking and were even louder when they kissed.

"Okay." He said, hugging her once more. He walked back out to the stage and said a few words of apology before they went on to Fallen Angels.

The rest of the show went incredibly well and the vibe got a lot stronger. Andy was so grateful he had Emerson to calm him down. If she hadn't been there he probably wouldn't have finished the set.

He knew she was sent for him. To help him keep his cool in times like this.
