Rose's POV:

I'm awoken from my dreams way too early by a loud noise. Pierce the Veil's "King for a Day" begins to blast from my phone speakers. Chloe groans and mumbles something incoherent before further burying her head under a pillow. I stretch my arms above my head before turning off the noisy music. Normally I would be singing and dancing along with Vic and Kellin, but after being up all night, and most of the morning, I'm exhausted. Unless the clock on my screen is lying, it is 12:00pm, which makes me wonder why the hell do I have an alarm for that time. But that's a question for another time.

I have no new text messages from my parents, which concerns but also relieves me. What great parents they are, not caring that their daughter was out all night, and all morning. However if they eve were to find out where I was I'd be so dead. Nudging Chloe awake, we both head downstairs of something to eat. A note on the table tells us that Chloe's parents are going to be out for most of the day. I didn't even know that they knew we were here. I guess we weren't as quiet as we thought?

Scavenging around the kitchen for something to eat, and then plopping ourselves down in front of Chloe's flat screen TV, we turn on Netflix and watch Supernatural.

---

I end up staying the night at Chloe's again, (too afraid to go home and face the parents), so we binge-watch Supernatural for the remainder of the afternoon. For dinner we ordered pizza, and only as we get ready for bed does the questioning of our time on the tour bus begin. Honestly I'm surprised it took her this long to begin her interrogation.

Chloe sits on her desk, a fake, innovent smile cast upon her lips, but an evil glint in here eyes. "So, that kiss was pretty heated. Don't ya think?"
I groan, mentally slapping myself for allowing for the kiss to get out of hand. "Don't you blame me for that! I already feel horrible about it... I mean, because of me, he cheated on his girlfriend! Doesn't that make me a slut? Ugh, stupid Ashley!!" I bury my head in my hands, trying to escape my mortification.
Chloe get off from her perch, and sits beside me on her bed, rubbing my shoulder gently, "hey, it's not your fault. And you most certainly are not a slut! Besides, if Andy was uncomfortable with doing the dare, he would've said so, or taken a shot." I look up from my hands, and she smiles, "plus how cool is it that we can blame Ashley Purdy!? I say pretty freakin' awesome! I feel like a celebrity!" I laugh at her attempt to cheer me up, it's working.

"Don't beat yourself up over it, okay?" I nod at her words, feeling a little better.
"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, Andy texted me." Her face lights up, and she immediately snatches my phone from the end table, scrolling through my messages.
"OMG! He texted you first! That means something doesn't it? Sure of course it does! He must like you! Oh my god, I'm so proud right now! My best friend has made out with the lead singer of the greatest band in the world, and was texted by him!" Good god that girl can scream.

"Made out?" I question as I snatch back my phone, looking at the short conversation Andy and I had.
She ignores my question, and starts pacing the room, mumbling random things like how it was so "obvious" and how "couldn't she have seen it before". I cock my head to the side at her mindless rambling, and shrug to myself, my mind set on sleeping right now.

I toss my phone into my bag, and snuggle into Chloe's comforter, and am swiftly swept away by the beautiful yet haunting blue eyes of the man of my dreams.

Chloe's POV:

The next time I glance at my best friend, she is already asleep, her arms clutching my blanket. I chuckle lightly, and pull it up for her, when I notice the faded scars on her arms. Sadness and concern take over my body, realizing that my best friend is indeed, not okay. That she is tormented by even the simplest things. Maybe she contemplates whether or not she will make it to the end of the week alive, maybe she cries alone in her bathroom at night. Perhaps she feels like she deserves hurting herself, and that thought alone strikes me with an intense pain. Rose is perfect, she's so sweet and kind, and it hurts me that she will never herself like the rest of the world does.

I shake those negative thoughts out of my head, though cautious not to forget them, and grab my phone, testing Sammi. We exchanged numbers before I lost control over my alcohol consumption.

Chloe: Hey Sammi! I was wondering if u could help me our with something...
Sammi: Hey sugar! Yeah of course I can help! What'd you need? Everything alright?
Chloe: Yeah, well kinda. I feel like Andy and Rose had this... connection? I was maybe thinking if there would b any way that we could meet up sometime?
Sammi: I hear ya! I noticed the same thing, me and Ella were actually talking about this earlier today. I'll see if that could happen. How is our Rose anyways?
Chloe: That'd be great! Thx Sammi :) Rose is doing... ok I guess. I don't know hoe I can hep her, she wouldn't even tell me about any of her problems
Sammi: It's usually hard for someone to come out and start talking. Maybe she feels like she'd be a burden? Or she just doesn't want to scare anyone or something like that. Let us know if we can help in ANY way. Seriously, we're all friend snow, and I don't want Rose hurt.
Chloe: I guess :/ I'll try talking to her, maybe that'll help. Thx Sammi, talk soon! Goodnight :)
Sammi: You too hun! We're all here for you gals. Talk soon, goodnight!

Turning off my phone, I turn to look at the broken girl next to me, and pray that someone can help her. Save her.

My prayers are heard tonight, since a buzzing sound comes from Rose's bag. Retrieving the vibrating object quickly, I unlock her phone and there's one new message.

Sleep tight Angel
Andy x

Notes

I thought that the last part was really sweet! Does anyone with that someone would text them that before they go to bed? I sure do!

Again, sorry everything is going incredibly slow, and may be a bit boring, but I swear that everything will speed up quite soon! Plus all of this stuff happening now is important :)

I'm kinda having a bit of a writer's block on a crucial part of the story: who should Rose and Andy meet again? I don't want to give away anything, but if you guys could maybe give your ideas on where the story is going to go or suggestions that'd mean the world to me!
