Bullets in a Music Box

The soft texture of the blanket rested on my bare back as I laid on my stomach. Last night was absolutely amazing. Not only because I had so much fun up on stage with Andy, but because of what happened after that. I turned my head over to face the other way and saw Andy looking at me through half closed eyes. I smiled at him and he blinked before kissing me.

"How am I so awake and you are so not?" I asked.

"I'm awake, I just don't want to hold my eyes open," he said and opened his eyes fully. I giggled and shifted on the bed.

"So, I'm pretty sure you have really bad scratch marks all over your back," I said and he shrugged.

"I'll just wear a shirt that covers my back tonight," he said with a smile.

"Not the point Andy," I smiled and he smiled back.

"You're gonna have to figure out how to cover those marks on your neck," he smiled proudly and I hid my face in the bed while giggling.

"I can wear a scarf," I said.

"Not if you come out on stage tonight," he said.

"And my make up will sweat off. I hate you right now," I said. He smiled again before kissing me. I was smiling when I heard the hotel room door open and close.

"I hope you are both either decent or still in bed," I heard Ashley say. I hid myself in the blankets and Andy put his arm over my back while chuckling.

"What's up Ashley?" Andy asked.

"Jon wants us to head out soon and Charlie is scared to come in here, so I am grabbing his stuff for him," Ashley explained and I laughed.

"He's a wimp," I said.

"He's sixteen," Ashley said.

"And? He's on tour with us, he should know shits gonna happen," I said as I appeared from under the blanket. Ashley's face went from determined to find Charlie's stuff to an amused face.

"Good job Andy," he said and I realized my neck was exposed.

"Say nothing Purdy," I gave him a glare and he held his hands up.

"Scouts honor. Now, help me get Charlie's shit together.

"I'm kind of not in any clothes right now," I said and he nodded.

"We'll get Charlie's stuff. When are we heading out?" Andy asked.

"In forty five minutes," Ashley said and we both nodded.

"Sounds good. Get out so I can get dressed," I said and Ashley laughed before leaving the room. I sat up and stretched before standing up and grabbing some clothes and walking into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Though the whole band knows we had sex last night, I'd rather not smell like it. When I climbed out of the shower, I got dressed and walked back out to where Andy was and he was fully dressed and had our bags all packed and sitting on the bed.

"We ready to go?" I asked and he nodded before wrapping his arms around me and hugging me tightly.

"Are you feeling clingy today?" I asked. He nodded and kept holding me.

"Well, come on, we gotta board the bus," I said and pushed him off to grab my bags. Next stop, Venice, Italy.



As the bus passed by the buildings in Venice, I was amazing. Italy is so beautiful, and the sun was hitting the architecture perfectly. I had my legs curled under me while I sat on the couch in the bus. Andy was sitting next to me, but he was talking with the band and Charlie. I was mesmerized by the buildings. I felt a tap on my shoulder that took me from my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I said and saw that Charlie tapped my shoulder.

"Wanna write a song?" He asked.

"Random, but sure," I shrugged and turned more to face him. He had a notebook in his hands and held a pen in his hand. I looked down at the page and saw a song already written.

"What's that?" I pointed and he looked at me like he was embarrassed.

"Nothing important," he said quickly.

"Charlie, that looks like a fully written song. Let me see it," I said. He stared at me for a while before handing me the notebook. As I read through the lyrics, I felt tears beginning to form. This is extremely dark. Then I saw the little glimmer of light. Oh my god, he wrote a song about me. I looked up at him and he was biting his lip.

"Charlie. This is, I don't even know how to explain it," I said as I felt a tear fall.

"You hate it, don't you?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No, it's amazing. I mean, of course it could use work, but any song could use work. I didn't know you saw me like that," I said. He shrugged and played with the pen.

"You helped me when I was in my darkest moment, of course I see you like that," he said.

"We can work on this a little, add some acoustic guitar to it, and maybe you can perform it at your next mini set," I said.

"Maybe," he said and took the notebook from my hand. I put my hand up to my eye and wiped the tear away and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"You okay?" I heard Andy ask.

"Fine, just read Charlie's song and got emotional," I said. Andy chuckled and kissed the side of my head.

"Alright everyone, we are here," Jon said and we all looked at the door, where Jon was standing. I got off the couch and stretched.

"Are you gonna perform with me?" Andy asked as we walked off the bus and towards the venue.

"Maybe, probably," I said.

"Good, I enjoy that part of the show the most," he said and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Of course you do. And maybe tonight I'll sing more than three songs!" I exclaimed and he laughed.

"I think we might get in trouble if you do," he said.

"Fuck Tyler," I said.

"Not Tyler, Jon," he said. I sighed and rolled my eyes as we walked into the make shift dressing room the band shared. Jon stood at the door when all of us were in the room.

"Okay, the set is scheduled to start at six thirty, after the opening band, you guys will head on, which should be around seven thirty. Any questions?" He asked. I raised my hand. He looked at me.

"Let's say I decide to go out and sing with Andy tonight, like the last four shows, would I be able to do more than three songs?" I asked.

"Whatever. The fans are eating you two up. Just make sure that Black Veil Brides is on there for most of the time slot," he said. I nodded and looked at Andy.

"I think I should do four songs," I said.

"One more song than normal?" Andy chuckled. I nodded.

"I'm kinda thinking of singing Knives and Pens with you," I said.

"Okay," he shrugged and I rolled my eyes. He goes with whatever I say.

"So, Knives and Pens, Devil in the Mirror, Sons of Night, and In The End?" I asked.

"Yeah, we can shift around the set list and do those four at the end," he said.

"Why the end?" I asked.

"Cause I like ending the show with you," he said. I rolled my eyes and gave him a kiss.

Notes

And now they are in Venice, next stop Beijing? Actually, on my list it's Rome, but I am doing specific shows from my list. So yes, Beijing is next. I am working on two or so songs for Charlie and in the next chapter, there will be a mini set for Charlie! Also in the next chapter, Sadee is gonna talk to Tyler about the possibility of becoming a singer at the label. Hope you liked it!
