Bullets in a Music Box

One Year Later

The room was warm and the sun was shining through the window. I rolled over and shoved my face into the pillows on the bed to escape the sunlight. It was nearing ten in the morning and I feel like doing nothing today. Over the last few weeks, or months, Falling For Fatality has been in the studio writing, recording, and producing our first full length album. We finally got it done and have a week off before we begin the photoshoots and all that jazz having to do with it.

The blanket on the bed was covering just my legs as I laid there. I felt something come onto the bed and knew it was Crow the second he rubbed his face on my elbow, which was sticking out. He meowed at me and licked his lips. He wants me to get up. I rolled over again and looked at him.

“What’s up Crow?” I asked him as I scratched behind his ears, which he responded with flopping over on the bed and showing me his stomach.

“I don’t wanna though,” I smiled at him and then heard someone walking up the stairs and then watched Andy walk into the room, a coffee cup in his hand.

“Good morning,” he smiled at me as he sat down on the bed, making Crow scatter and move so he was curled into me.

“Morning,” I mumbled and he laughed.

“Still tired?” He asked and I nodded.

“I get all week to be lazy and I plan on doing just that,” I smiled and sat up in the bed so I was sitting instead of laying down.

“What if I plans on doing something?” He asked.

“They can wait until I don’t have the opportunity to be lazy,” I smiled and he gave me a look.

“Fine, you don’t get any of the presents I bought you,” he said. I looked at him and rolled my eyes. He has been being really generous lately and it’s worrying me a little bit. I leaned over so my head was laying on Andy’s shoulder and I could just tell he was smiling.

“What are you smiling about?” I asked.

“What do you mean? I’m not smiling,” he muttered and I laughed.

“Andy, I know you, you are smiling because of something. What is it, spill the beans sir!” I exclaimed as I got up off of him and turned to face him. He held his coffee cup in his hand and raised his eye brow.

“I’m just thinking about something,” he shrugged and took a drink of his coffee.

“Andrew Dennis Biersack, why are you smiling?” I asked.

“Sadee Leanne Christian, I’m not telling you,” he chuckled and I pouted at him.

“How dare you use my full name,” I said overly dramatic. He set his cup down on the table next to the bed before crawling over to me and kissing my nose.

“What are you doing?” I scrunched up my nose like a cat.

“Making you do that,” he laughed before pushing me down onto the bed and hovering over me. I looked up at him and made a face.

“Well, I don’t like being a cat, I like being a human, so, don’t kiss my nose you dork, kiss my lips,” I smirked before leaning up and kissing him. He smirked into it and then I fell back down onto the bed. He continued to hover over me while his overly bright blue eyes stared into my own brown ones. Then he leaned back, got off the bed, walked into the closet, and returned with a box. He went back to hovering over me but had the box in his hand.

“What’s that?” I pointed to it and his eyes flicked over to it before moving back to me.

“Something I was going to give you later, but since you have been working so hard in the studio and deserve to be lazy all week, I can give it to you now,” he smiled.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Something you are probably going to cry at,” he shrugged before leaning down pecking my lips.

“Oh my gosh Andy, what the hell is it?” I laughed as I leaned up and put my arms back to hold me up. My head was basically in Andy’s neck and he smiled again before leaning back and then he decided to sit on my legs, which were laying straight on the bed.

“Ow you fatass, get off my legs,” I chuckled and he shook his head before grabbing the box. He opened it and pulled out a small blue box. Wait, those boxes usually have rings in it. Oh my god, is he?

“Andy, what are you doing?” I asked and he was smirking.

“Okay, I’ve never really been the kind of person to settle down and actually care about my life. I’ve kinda just gone through life not caring. And I’ve never really had someone in my life, besides my parents, who I truly cared about. But then you came into my life,” he paused and I watched him, tears already beginning to form.

“And since you came into my life, you’ve changed me for the better. Yes, we’ve had a shit ton of things happen over the last two years, but, I don’t care. I can’t live my life without you. We are each other’s rocks and we need each other. So, would you please be my rock for life?” He asked as he opened the box and showed me the sparkling ring. My hand immediately covered my mouth and the tears just began to fall uncontrollably. He was watching me, his eyes staring intently.

“Only if you promise to be my rock for life,” I said through my tears. He chuckled and nodded. I pulled myself up from under him before wrapping both of my arms around his shoulders and planting my lips on his. We sat in that position for quite some time before I pulled away and he took the ring from the box and placed it on my finger, above my promise ring. He wrapped his arms around me and we laid down on the bed, my head curled into his chest and his chin resting on top of my head. I stared at the ring on my finger and had the biggest smile on my face.

“So, how long have you been planning this?” I asked.

“For a few weeks now,” he shrugged and I rolled my eyes.

“Did you tell anyone of your plans?” I asked.

“My parents, Ashley, and Zara,” he said and then kissed the top of my head. I moved my head and looked up at him.

“So, you said that I am the only one you really, truly, cared about besides your parents. What about your relationship with Juliet? You guys were together for four plus years,” I said.

“I loved her, but I never thought about marrying her. Neither of us were in any place for that. But with the shit we’ve gone through, you and I, I think we’ve matured enough and are in a good place for this,” he smiled before kissing my forehead.

“I agree. Can we just lay in this bed all day?” I asked.

“I think that is a good idea,” he smirked.

One Week Later

The warmth of the California sun shined down on my back as I walked down the beach with Zara. We were currently in the process of filming our first music video, for our first official single Ready To Fight. It’s a power song and has a great message. Zara had her arm looped in mine and the wind whipped past us.

“So, tell me, how did he propose?” She asked and I looked at her.

“It’s funny actually. I told him that I wanted to be lazy all week since we had been in the studio for like two months. He pouted about it at first because he apparently had this big, grand plan for the whole thing. But, he compromised and actually proposed on the bed. I didn’t want to move, so he just kinda did it there,” I shrugged and she rolled her eyes.

“You two are seriously the weirdest couple I know,” she chuckled.

“You and Coma aren’t any better,” I told her and she smiled.

“Well that’s because Chris and I aren’t exactly normal people Sadee,” she chuckled. I rolled my eyes and we stopped by the pier.

“Can you believe we have our first album fully recorded?” I asked her after a few minutes of silence.

“It’s surreal isn’t it?” She smiled and I nodded.

“I remember back when I was so dead set on being solely a lyricist,” I smiled and she rolled her eyes.

“I mean technically you still are, you just also happen to sing those lyrics for your own band,” she shrugged and I laughed.

“Did you ever think you’d be in a band like this? Recording albums, making music videos, i the process of planning a headlining tour?” I asked and she shook her head.

“I thought I’d always be a touring drummer,” she sighed and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder.

“Exactly. Both of our lives have changed so damn much in the last two years, it’s crazy,” I said and she nodded.

“It is,” she said. From behind us, I heard our manager Matt speak.

“So is Callum coming to the shoot today?” I turned around and faced him.

“Lucy is sick so he has to take care of Ryley and Graham. But he promised me he’d be here tomorrow,” I said and Matt sighed.

“Well, then I guess that means you two are done for the day,” he said.

“What? Why?” Zara asked.

“Because we got your guys’ solo shots done. Without Callum we can’t do his solo shots or the full band shots, so, you two are done for the day,” he explained and she nodded.

“So Matt, when was the last time you went out and got shit faced drunk?” Zara asked him and he raised one eyebrow.

“Why are you asking?” He asked as he crossed his arms.

“Well, since we finished recording the album, and are planning a tour, I think we should go out and celebrate. Cause the two of us know that without you keeping us on track, it wouldn’t have been done,” she smiled and she smirked.

“Fine, let’s get drinks tonight. But, I have to finish things up here first, so, how about we meet at Sadee’s at like nine,” he suggested and Zara nodded.

“Perfect. See you at nine!” She exclaimed.

“Hey Matt, can I keep this outfit?” I asked and he shrugged.

“Go for it. The stuff used in the video are being donated, so go take your pickings if you want to keep some of the outfits,” he said before walking away. I smiled and began to twirl around in the sand. I kicked off my shoes and socks so I could feel the sand. The last week has been amazing, nothing can change that.

Notes

Hello again readers. I apologize for not updating at all the last two weeks. I feel terrible for it. But I was on spring break and I literally had no motivation to write it. But then I did and I changed a few of my original plans. I like how this came out better so, yeah. I hope you guys like it. The next chapter is the last chapter of this story. And it makes me sad to end it, but it ran it course. This is by far the longest fanfiction I've written and I am proud of it. So yes. Look out for the next one, which I'm not going to start till the end of May, so yeah. I'll keep you updated, somehow.

Be sure to check out the collection of songs I am posting on here. It's called something like Songs From Happy Little Pill and Bullets in a Music Box, or something like that. I'm gonna post all my songs on there over the next few days.

I have really enjoyed writing this and interacting with you guys. You rock!
