Bullets in a Music Box

The smell of sea salt and sunshine forced its way into my nose and made me smile. It has been a couple months since I have been in LA, and being back was a great feeling. We got back yesterday, or last night, at around 11 pm. It is a good feeling sleeping in your own bed. It’s also a good feeling waking up at 11 am with Crow rubbing against your face. Andy was gone, he had some meeting to do with Tyler, but I was free until the show tonight. I laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Crow climbed halfway onto my chest and kept rubbing against my nose. I smiled before petting his side. He was purring up a storm. As I laid there, I heard my phone start ringing. I reached onto the nightstand and grabbed it before answering it quickly.

“Hello,” I said and kept petting Crow, who had rolled onto his side/back.

“Hey Sadee, what are you doing?” I heard Zara ask.

“I am currently laying on my bed with Crow, why?” I asked.

“Because, the guys are all done with their meeting and CC had this great idea to go get some tattoos and get food and be lazy around town before the concert tonight,” she said.

“But I was planning on being lazy today, in my bed, with Crow,” I whined and she chuckled.

“But, Sadee, Andy wants to do a double date, so you have to,” she said.

“I don’t have to. I could say no and curl myself up into my bed with Crow here, he won’t mind,” I said and she sighed.

“Sadee, do I have to get Andy on the phone?” She asked. Is she at the studio? Cause that’s where Andy is.

“Andy’s there with you?” I asked.

“Yeah, I went to the studio with CC this morning. Why didn’t you do with Andy?” She asked me.

“Cause, I want to be lazy with Crow today, that is why,” I answered and she groaned.

“I will be at your house in fifteen minutes, if you aren’t up and ready, I will drag you into your shower and turn the water on cold and walk out of the room,” she said.

“Zara, I want to-”

“Be lazy, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get your ass up,” she said and hung up. I groaned before tossing my phone onto the bed and rolling over on top of Crow. He meowed at me but didn’t move.

“Zara and Andy are making me get up. You wanna be lazy with me, don’t you?” I asked him and he gave me those cat eyes that are like glossed over because he’s so happy. He kept on purring and I pet his side.

“You should be happy, Andy and I aren’t going on tour anytime soon. We are all done for now. You get us all to yourself,” I scratched his stomach and he purred louder. I sighed before getting off of the bed and walking into the bathroom. I need to wash my face and hair. As I turned on the shower, I heard the doorbell downstairs. A groan escaped my mouth as I walked out of the bathroom, went through the bedroom, and down the stairs to the door. When I opened it, Zara pushed her way into the house and looked at me.

“You are not ready, what the hell Sadee?” She asked with a chuckle.

“I am going to take a shower, and wash my face. Give me like a half hour,” I said.

“You are so lucky that BVB are still in their meeting, get going, I’ll chill with Crow,” she said.

“Crow doesn’t know you,” I said.

“He will,” she smiled and followed me up the stairs.

“How did you even know where I live?” I asked as we got into the bedroom.

“Andy gave me your address,” she smiled and sat down on the bed. Which scared Crow and he jumped off the bed and ran from the room.

“Crow doesn’t like strangers,” I bit my lip and she shrugged.

“You have a really comfy bed,” she laid back and I gave an annoyed sigh.

“I know, now, I’m going to take a shower, please don’t snoop,” I said and walked into the bathroom. After stripping from my pajamas, I climbed into the shower and let the water fall down over me for a few minutes before grabbing my shampoo and body wash. Once I was washed up and clean, I climbed out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my chest. I walked over to the sink and grabbed my face wash and scrubbed my face with it, letting it sit as I walked back into the bedroom to grab some clothes. Zara was laying down on the bed with her phone held up above her head.

“You take forever in the shower,” she said.

“I like the feeling of water running down my body, is that a bad thing?” I asked.

“It is when you said a half hour and it’s been twenty minutes,” she said.

“I just have to get dressed, wash this shit off my face, and put makeup on,” I told her and she gave me a look.

“It takes you at least ten minutes to put makeup on Sadee,” she said and I rolled my eyes.

“Downtown isn’t going anywhere, I can take more than a half hour. And I said give me like a half hour, that means it could be longer,” I pointed out to her and she rolled her eyes.

“Well, BVB are done with their meeting, so ANdy and Christian are waiting for us,” she said and I shrugged.

“They can wait, now, I’m going to go get dressed and stuff,” I walked into the bathroom and began to wipe off the face wash. Once that was off and I dried my face, I got into my clothes and began doing my makeup. As I finished with it, I heard my phone going off in the bedroom.

“Can you answer that Zara?” I asked.

“Yeah,” I heard and then my phone shut up. I put down my eyeliner and grabbed my eye shadow as Zara walked into the room.

“It’s Andy,” she said.

“Put it on speaker and set it down on the counter,” I said. She followed what I said and then went back into the bedroom.

“Hi,” I said.

“Hey, what are you doing?” He asked.

“Putting makeup on currently, why?” I asked.

“Cause CC is getting impatient,” he said. I could hear him smirking.

“I’m almost done, tell Coma to calm himself and wait a second,” I said.

“Are we getting tattoos with them?” Andy asked and I made a face. Them?

“Them? As in Coma and Zara?” I asked.

“Yeah, they are apparently getting matching tattoos,” he said. I rolled my eyes and closed my eyeshadow.

“Okay, I just have to get my shoes on and we’ll leave,” I said.

“You didn’t answer my question,” he said and I groaned.

“Not today, maybe tomorrow. We have a show tonight and I’d rather not get sweat on a new tattoo,” I said.

“Okay, we can have a date tomorrow and get tattoos,” he said and I could hear him smiling like an idiot.

“What is it with you and this date thing?” I chuckled as I walked into the bedroom and took him off speaker.

“Nothing, I just want to do on a shit ton of dates, cause we never actually did that stage of our relationship. We kinda just went on tour and that was it. We deserve to go on a few dates,” he explained and I laughed.

“I guess. Okay, I’m getting my shoes on and then we are leaving,” I said.

“Alright, see you in a few then,” he said and then hung up. I set my phone down on the bed and pulled my shoes onto my feet. Zara was standing next to me and was giving me a look.

“You and Andy have a weird relationship,” she said.

“You’re now just figuring this out?” I asked.

“No, I’m just pointing it out. Are we ready to go?” She asked.

“Just about. I need to feed Crow and then we can go,” I said as I left the bedroom and walked downstairs. When I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some cat food for Crow, he came trodding into the room and rubbed against my legs.

“Yes, I am feeding you, be happy,” I said and rubbed his head before standing up and putting the cup into the pantry.

“I want a cat like Crow,” Zara whined as we left the house.

“Crow is a one of a kind cat, you won’t find one like him,” I told her as we got into the car.

“I can try,” she sighed and I rolled my eyes. Zara began driving and I watched out the window. It is amazing being back in LA, being back home. I missed the warm weather that California gives as well as the smell of the ocean and the people in general. I’ve been living in LA for almost four years now and I feel more at home here than I ever did in Nashville. And being in a relationship with Andy makes living in LA so much better. Sure Colton helped me live in LA, but Andy is doing a much better job. He is a main reason behind why I am doing what I have always wanted to do.

Zara smacked my arm and tore me from my thoughts. I gave her a look and she rolled her eyes.

“We’re here Miss Space Out,” she chuckled and climbed out of her car. I followed suit and walked behind her as we went up to where Coma and Andy were. When we got there, Zara immediately ran over to Coma and kissed him. I walked lazily over to Andy and he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.

“Remember when we were that eager to see each other?” I asked.

“Yeah, then we got used to each other and now we don’t do that,” he sighed and I kissed his nose.

“We don’t do that exact thing, but we do other cute things,” I smiled and he nodded.

“I know, I was just being dramatic,” he chuckled and I looked over at the other two.

“Alright, let’s get this shit over with so I can go back to being lazy with Crow,” I said and Andy laughed.

“Is that what you were planning on doing today?” He asked.

“Yeah, why?” I asked.

“I feel like you are only in this for Crow,” he said.

“Shit, you discovered my true intentions,” I smiled and he rolled his eyes and put his arm around my shoulder as we walked out of the room. When we got down to the cars, Coma and Zara went in Zara’s car, while me and Andy went in Andy’s car. I buckled my seatbelt and yawned. Andy looked at me and rolled his eyes.

“You do remember we have a show tonight, at seven right?” He asked.

“Yeah. Why?” I asked.

“Cause, it’s almost two now, even if we do get done with the tattoo thing early, you won’t have much time to chill with Crow before we’d have to leave for sound check and the meet and greet,” he said.

“I know,” I sighed. He rolled his eyes and got quiet as he drove.

“Did you see Charlie at all?” I asked

“Yeah, he was just finishing up recording a song. We didn’t talk, but I waved at him and he waved back,” he answered and I nodded.

“I haven’t talked to him in a few months,” I said.

“He’s been busy recording his album,” he said.

“I know, but still. Speaking of that album, did you hear any of it?” I asked.

“Tyler showed me a song and it’s pretty kick ass. And Tyler was saying something about Evanston going on tour once the album drops,” he said.

“Evanston?” I asked.

“That’s Charlie’s bands name. But a tour Sadee,” he said.

“That’s big, I wonder how Charlie feels about it,” I said.

“I don’t think Tyler has told the band about the tour yet, cause it’s still in the works,” he said.

“Oh, well, they are brand spanking new and they need time to be known before going on tour anyways,” I said.

“Tyler also mentioned that once Falling For Fatality records your EP, he might put you guys and Evanston together on a tour. Your band headlining and Evanston opening,” he said.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tyler needs to slow the fuck down. We just got off of tour, and we haven’t even started recording the EP,” I said.

“I know, calm down. I am just telling you what Tyler told me,” Andy said as he parked the car.

“Well, Tyler is going to hear it from me,” I said as I climbed out of the car.

“I know he will,” Andy said. If Tyler thinks that throwing my band back on tour after we put out the EP with Evanston is a good idea, he sorrily mistaken. Evanston is brand new, and my band is still new and we shouldn’t be headlining a tour with just an EP under our belt anyways.

Notes

Well. Hello there my readers. I am so so so sorry for the wait for this chapter. I used to post like every day, now I'm lucky to post once a week. I feel terrible for that. And I am hoping that once I get back to school I go back to the whole every day schedule. But you guys got to see my love for Crow shown through Sadee.... :D But yes. I still love each and every one of you readers!!! :3

Now I have an honest question. Do you guys mind if I just continue this story instead of ending it? I have a few things planned for later in the story and I want to make sure you guys are okay with me continuing it instead of ending it.

QUESTION TIME: What should Andy and Sadee do on their dates? I know that they are getting tattoos, Sadee is gonna get something on her collarbones and I am thinking of doing matching tattoos, not their names cause I wouldn't ever personally do it so why make my characters/people do it? What should Evanston(Charlie's band) sound like? Do you mind if I put Evanston into this story?
