The Summer Job ~ Andy Biersack *Completed

--Baylie's POV--

My alarm went off, but I was already awake. I hadn't slept at all. My whole face was red from crying and exhaustion and hurt. I didn't care. I needed him. To see him. Even if he turned me away, even if he shouted at me, I needed to pretend I was a little less isolated in this world.

I got up and threw on clothes, my mind a whirl. I almost shouted for my mother before I left, but it came to my painful realization I had no need to do that as she currently lie idle in her bed, never to move again.

I watched the rain fall from the clouds, wishing I could warn them of the ground. Wishing I could stop them. But either way, a raindrop will never stop falling without death. A raindrop does not have anywhere to go if it stops besides down, and sometimes this made me feel even more like a raindrop. Trapped.

Andy's car was gone, as it was frequently when I arrived. I would just wait. There was no way I could go on without any contact to anyone. I would go crazy.

As shy as I was, I loved to talk to people. I loved to find common interests and talk about them for hours and make friends and just be able to relate to people.

I buried my hands in my pockets and as thoughts of my mother slipper back into my mind, tears began to form and I felt myself getting the urge to cry again. I shoved my head down and covered my face with my hair. No more crying, Baylie, you've done enough of that. But I can't help it. I reached Andy's backdoor and took a deep breath before bringing my hand up and...

Knock knock knock.

--Joan's POV--

I glanced towards the door, hearing a small knocking. "She's here." I smirked. Oli smiled. "Let's not keep her waiting."
