Bullets in a Music Box

A soft snore and the moving of Andy's chest woke me up the next morning. I was laying on his chest and he had his arm around my back. He was passed out and I bit my lip. Last night was amazing. I do have to say, being away from Andy for two weeks definitely made me love him more. I giggled at the thought and then felt Andy shift and stop snoring.

"Morning," I looked at him and he blinked a few times before yawning really big.

"Morning," he said with a really raspy voice.

"We get a week off together!" I exclaimed and he chuckled.

"We do, but we have a lot to do," he said. I pouted and gave him a confused look.

"For one we have to talk to the band about Charlie, then we have to talk to Jon and Tyler. Then I am planning to have an awesome pizza party, involving alcohol, on Friday. Then we have the weekend off before flying out to London," he said. I sighed and bit my lip while nuzzling my face into Andy's bare chest.

"Why can't we just relax?" I asked.

"Because, I want Charlie to come with us, and we need to get proper permission and then all the paperwork and shit," he said. I then looked at him and continued to bite my lip.

"What?" He chuckled.

"Nothing, I'm just happy to have you back," I said.

"And you say I'm sappy," he laughed and bent forward to give me a kiss. I lingered for a while before rolling over and sitting up, the sheets covering my chest.

"Where're you going?" He asked.

"I am-" I was cut off by a knock on the door downstairs.

"Who is bothering us?" Andy whined before getting up from bed and pulling on a pair of shorts and walking out of the room to answer the door. I smiled and got up to grab my shorts and tank top. I got dressed and walked out of the room and downstairs to see Ashley and Andy talking.

"Ash!" I exclaimed and Ashley looked at me and we shared a creepy look.

"Sade!" He exclaimed and I laughed.

"Of course she chooses my best friend as her best friend," Andy muttered and I shrugged.

"Ashley is just so awesome, I couldn't deny it," I smiled and sat down on the couch.

"So anyways, Tyler wants to see us at the label at noon," Ashley said.

"What the fuck does he want?" Andy asked. Ashley shrugged before walking over to the door.

"I will see you later Sadee!" He said before leaving. I looked at Andy and he sighed.

"They give us a break, but then they call us in for meetings. I don't get it," he said as he walked up the stairs. I followed behind him and he walked into the bathroom and closed the door. The room was quiet, too quiet, so I turned on Set It Off. I don't think Andy will mind listening to them, since he toured with them last year. I danced around the room while finding clothes to wear. Should I dress up, or should I be all casual and shit? I shuffled through my skirts and then through my pants, deciding on a mixture of the two. As I got dress, Andy came out of the bathroom, all wet and clean.

"Set It Off?" He asked. I smiled and he shook his head while rolling his eyes.

"Don't deny it, you love them," I said.

"Never said I didn't. I'm guessing you're coming with?" He asked.

"See, I think now is the perfect time to just propose the idea of Charlie coming on tour with us to all of them at once, band, Jon, and Tyler," I said.

"So we have free time?" He asked.

"Fuck yeah. I kinda wanna buy a pet," I said.

"You do remember we are here for a week, then we are gone for two almost three months," he said.

"Yeah, then I remember that. But we can just go do stuff around LA, you can visit your cousin," I said.

"I probably should," he said.

"Yeah, well, let's go," I said after I pulled on my shoes and grabbed my phone. We left the house and were at the label in less than a half hour. As we walked into the building, it was a little loud. I wonder why. We got to the floor where the meetings are held and when the doors to the elevator opened, I saw a group of people standing outside a room.

"What is going on?" I asked Andy. He shrugged and made a face. We walked down the hall and I took a look into the room. Tyler was talking with some person who was surrounded by a bunch of body guards.

"Who is he talking to?" I asked.

"Reese Carson," someone said.

"Who is that?" I asked.

"She's the next big thing in rock music, and Tyler is signing her," they said.

"Come on Andy, let's go find the rest of the band," I said as I grabbed his hand and led him through the crowd. When we cleared them, Andy snaked his arm around my shoulders and we walked to the room where the band was. Once we were inside, I sat down and looked at all of them.

"I forgot what you all looked like!" I said and they all laughed.

"Alright, before Tyler and Jon get in here, we have a question," Andy said. I looked at him and h gave me a look.

"What?" They all asked.

"You remember Sadee's nephew Charlie, right?" Andy asked. They all nodded and I smiled.

"What would you guys think about him coming to Europe with us on tour?" I asked.

"You want Charlie to come on tour?" CC asked.

"Yeah, he needs to get away from LA. He just lost his dad, he's in a bad place, and you guys are his favorite band," I said. The other four shared a look or two before CC answered.

"Why not? He could learn a thing or two, since he was signed to the label," CC said.

"How do you guys know he was signed?" I asked.

"Jon," They all said simultaneously.

"Gotcha," I said and then the door behind us opened and in walked Jon and Tyler.

"Thank you guys for coming in on your break. I'm just going to get right into it. Your tour is doing great. You are selling out the venues and the merch is flying off the tables. I was wondering how you all would feel about replacing your break in May with more tour dates, as well as adding a few more at the end," Tyler asked. I looked at all of them and they were kinda shocked.

"How many dates would be added?" I asked.

"Well, if we replace the May break with tour dates, that is 13 shows, and we would add 27 to the end to round it off at 40 more shows," Tyler said.

"40 more shows?" Ashley asked.

"Yes, you guys are doing amazing at performing and selling out the places," Tyler said.

"Would they get a break somewhere else, or are they just touring for five months straight?" I asked.

"Well, we could add a day or two between the Moscow show and the Augusta, Maine show, so it would be a week off instead of just four days," he said.

"Then it would push the rest of the dates," I said.

"It would, but not by much. What do you guys think?"

"I don't see why not, but, that's a lot of shows. And we'd be touring for eight months instead of seven," Andy said.

"You would, but I would of course pay you more for doing the extra dates," he said. Andy looked at me and I licked my lip.

"We'll do it," Ashley said.

"Alright, it is settled. I will talk with the touring managers and those people to set up the dates. Are there any questions?" Tyler asked.

"I have one," I said. Tyler looked at me and waited.

"Alright Tyler, you know how Charlie has been since Gustav died and everything. I was thinking, he needs to get away from LA and everything here. So, there is an extra bunk that is used for junk right now that he could use, and he could write songs with the band. It would be an amazing experience for him," I said. Tyler sat there for a second, silent.

"I think it's a great idea. Sadee, you've told me a bunch about Charlie and he sounds like a great kid. And she's right, he could learn a lot. You signed him and he doesn't really have any live experience," Jon said.

"Have you talked to Lauren?" Tyler asked.

"Me and her aren't speaking," I said. He sighed before answering again.

"Fine, he can go, but only until you guys would have had the second break, then he comes back," Tyler said.

"That's what I was planning. Thank you Tyler, this is going to mean the world to him," I said and Tyler nodded.

"I know. Now get out of here you guys and enjoy your break. Remember your flight leaves Monday at nine in the morning," Tyler said and we all nodded while walking out. I am so happy Charlie is coming with us. Now to tell him the good news.
