Emerson's eyes widened as she looked up at the man she was positive she was falling for.

"What?"

"I'm sorry." He said, feeling his heart break. "We're going on Warped Tour."

"Andy.." She said, feeling tears push to her eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest. "No."

"I'm so sorry." He whispered again as she cried.

"I don't want you to leave. This just started.." She shook her head.

"I know." He sighed. His eyes widened as he came up with an idea. "Come with me."

Her head sprung up. "What!?"

"Please, Emerson. I need you. I can be myself when your around." He pleaded.

She shook her head again, "When does it end?"

"August third." He said.

"Our company gets a break in three weeks until September. I'll join you then. How about that?" She grinned up at him and he softly pressed his lips to her's.

"I like that idea." He said.

"Okay then." She giggled and his heart fluttered. She was so beautiful, and the way her hair framed her face, along with her striking blue eyes she reminded him of...Scout.

"Emerson how could Kelly not be just.." He shook his head, "Totally in love with you?"
The thought of Kelly made her stomach drop. She really liked Andy, but those feelings weren't going away.

"I'm not a slut." Emerson slumped down a bit, her hands still loosely wrapped around his neck.

"No your not." He chuckled.

"He only dates sluts, and I don't change for no one." Emerson snapped her finger, making Andy laugh and grab her legs so she rested in his lap.

"Well I don't date sluts so." He smirked.

"That's good." She giggled and laid her head on his chest.

He was silent for a moment, "You know what I want to do right now?"

"What?" She asked, looking up at him.

"I want to go to sleep with you in my arms." He said, softly.

"I'd also enjoy that." She said, and he picked her up. "Andy! You don't have to carry me!"

"I want too." He laughed, walking up his stairs and to his bedroom. She was immediately struck by shock. It was huge.

"Geez Andy, your house didn't look this big on the outside." She shook her head as he sat her down on his bed.

"It's not that big." He said, slipping his shirt off. Emerson's mouth fell open taking in his toned and tattooed chest. Everything about him was perfection.

"Yes it is." She said, swallowing hard. He turned around and glanced at her. He smirked seeing her gawk and looked at her fully clothed body. He slipped off his jeans and then sat next to her.

"You know.." He said, running his fingers across her collar bone. "Those clothes don't look very comfortable to sleep in."

"You'd be surprised how comfortable leggings are." She giggled.

"Yeah but this shirt," Andy chuckled, letting his hand glide down her arm. "And my jacket.."

She looked over at him and smirked. She slipped the jacket off, and the shirt over her head. Andy gawked at her chest and nice body.

"Your so beautiful." He whispered.

"So are you." She shook her head, letting her eyes run down his body again. "Do you have a shirt I can sleep in?"

"Mhm." Andy laughed, and grabbed a black tee shirt from his drawer. He tossed it to her and she slipped it over head and then took her pants off. He got in the bed with her and under the covers before pulling her tiny body to his. "What are we?" He asked, rubbing her back.

"Best friends?" She smirked.

"Who cuddle and kiss." He nodded.

"Perfect." She smiled, kissing him quickly. She laid her head on his chest and quickly fell asleep.

---

"E, wake up." Emerson heard in her ear. She groaned.

"No..." She mumbled against the soft pillow. Andy was awake and already dressed.

"Yes..." He laughed. "Come on, you promised me a lunch date yesterday."

"I don't have clothes." She said, the pillow muffling her words. "Can't we just sleep all day?"

"No." Andy said, jumping on the bed.

"Andy!" She yelled as he shook her shoulders.

"I'll drive you to your place and you can change. Pack a bag by the way, your staying with me until I leave." He said, kissing her forehead. She chuckled and sat up.

"Fine." She sighed.

"I'm gonna sit here until you get up." He crossed his arms.

"Andy, do we have to go now?" She asked, leaning on his shoulder. "Because we could stay here, and cuddle, and kiss." She said, placing a kiss on his neck. He pulled her closer to him and smashed his lips to hers, but only for a second.

"Get up." He whispered, kissing her cheek. She huffed and jumped out of bed. She grabbed her leggings and pulled them on. "Need another shirt?"

"Yes please." She smiled. He grabbed a Black Veil Brides shirt and handed it to her. "Thanks! Ooh it's your face!"

Andy giggled, and grabbed her waist. He remembered when Kelly clicked his lock screen while he was hanging out with him and their other friend Kellin. Andy had thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. He knew then he had to meet her and begged Kelly for a chance.

"I don't want to go anywhere." She mumbled, slipping her arms around his neck. She buried her head in his neck, feeling so warm and safe.

"I know." He said into her ear. "We can spend all week together."

"I have dance." She groaned.

"Maybe you can take this week off?" He smiled. She chuckled.

"Well I remember Juli saying she wanted to work with Juan for a little while.." She said. Andy picked her up and spun her around and she shrieked.

"Stop!" She laughed. He shook his head and threw her on the bed. She laughed and he crawled up to her. His lips latched to her's, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They kissed and kissed and became more familiarized with each others mouth's.

"My god." He said against her mouth. "We've got to go.." Emerson didn't reply, just kept kissing and hugging him.

"Okay." She said, pulling away. "I just needed that."

"Me too." He smiled, standing up. She followed him and slipped her shoes on.

Andy grabbed her hand and they walked out to his car. Emerson jumped in the passengers side and smiled as he got in.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"Your place, then.." He shook his head, "Wherever you want for lunch." She took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I don't care, you probably know Los Angeles better than me. Unless it's bars.." Emerson laughed.

"I know this little place in DTLA we could go too." He smiled, looking out on the road.

"It doesn't matter, Andy." She said, kissing his cheek.

"Okay." He said. Andy never imagined he'd be acting like this again. All lovesick and happy. He should be calling her Ms. Carter, and acting like an idiot but instead here he was. Her holding his arm and him in content.

Before they knew it, they were back at her apartment. She ran up the stairs, pulling Andy with her. She was a little worried for Andy to see her living space, since it was so small. She especially felt nervous about it because Andy's house was incredible.

She stopped in front of the door, and blew out a sigh. "Uh so this is it." She said.

"Mhm." Andy said, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"It's not big, and it's not nice." She looked over at him and he smiled, reassuringly.

"Don't worry." He said. She nodded and opened the door.

He was immediately taken back, but he tried not to show it. She lived here? This beautiful girl lived in this shithole? He had half a mind to ask her to move in with him but he couldn't do that.

"It's, Uh, it's not much." She shook her head, setting her clutch down on the table by her door.

"But it's a place to sleep." He swallowed his sadness down and looked up at her.

"Kelly and you both slept here?" He asked.

"Yeah, he left when he got big." She said, taking her duffle bag out of the closet. Andy walked over to her and sat on the bed.

"You should call Juli." He said, looking around. "You know, so we really can spend all week together."

"Yeah." She nodded, grabbing her phone. She hit Juli's contact, who picked up on the second ring.

"Hey E, banged that ass yet? Vic and Lea told me you left with him last night." Juli said, laughing.

"God Juli! No, I didn't. I was calling to ask how much I needed to come in this week." Emerson chuckled.

"I'm working with Juan, I already told you that! Get your head in the game." She laughed, "I'm working on his solo, it's going to be sexy!"

Emerson shook her head, "Okay sounds good."

"Why?" Juli pried.

"Uh, Andy is going on tour next week so.." Emerson sighed, "I'm staying at his house this week."

"OH MY GOD EMERSON VALE CARTER, I KNEW YOU LIKED HIM!" Juli screamed.

"Okay Juli, love you but I've got to go." Emerson said.

"You will call me tomorrow!" Juli warned.

"I know, I know. Bye." Emerson said.

"Bye lover girl." She heard the beep signaling the call was over and looked up at Andy.

"All good." She grinned.

He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Perfect." He said, kissing her quickly. "Now pack." He said, scratching her back lightly.

She smiled, and threw a few of her clothes in her bag. Some nice outfits, a few pairs of pajamas, underwear, and some casual clothes. She walked to her bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush and toothpaste along with shampoo, conditioner, and her hairbrush.

"Bathing suit, babe!" Andy called, "I have a hot tub."

"Okay." Emerson said, walking back to him. She grabbed her black two piece and threw it in her bag. She slipped a new pair of underwear, and leggings on, along with a nice tank top. "Alright."

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yep." They walked out hand in hand down to his car.

"I'm so glad your staying with me." He smiled, rubbing her knuckles.

"Me too." She smiled. "So touring.."

Andy glanced over at her, "It's uh, difficult. Not going to lie."

"Do you guys have a bus?" She remembered from Kelly's first few years that he had to tour in an old van. Emerson didn't know much about Black Veil Brides or how big they were, if at all.

"Yes." Andy chuckled. "Hope you won't mind sharing a bunk with me for a few months."

Emerson blushed, "No problem."

"Cool. I'll introduce you to the guys this week." He said. "You'll meet a lot of people."

"I probably know a few of them. Sleeping With Sirens is going right? I've been friends with them for as long as I've been out here." She said. Andy smiled.

"Yeah, they will be." He said.

"Cool, I would say I can't wait but then our week will be over and I don't want that." She said, frowning a bit.

"Me neither." He sighed, turning on to the freeway.

"Well it's going to be amazing so we'll just live in the moment." She said. He smiled and kissed her cheek.

"You bet."
