Catch me when I fall?
Chapter 9 ~ Tick Tock
~Jinxx's POV~
I sat on the steps of a church opposite the bus, it was weird, from the outside you could see nothing but the inside was probably chaos, almost like a metaphor of a human, you look fine on the outside but on the inside you're screaming. It had been so long, would she even recognize me? This was the question running through my head, over and over again. Last time I'd seen her she had been thanking me for the money I'd given her to help her get on her feet. I stared at the bus and sighed as the spring warmth hugged me like a safety blanket. I'd written songs about her, and compositions on my fiddle. The songs on my violin sounded happier than they did on guitar, the songs written on my guitar were moodier and darker. Oh how many songs I'd written about the girl with pale skin, blue eyes and white blonde hair. Allie.
The church bell chimed, startling me 7 chimes. It would be a long night I decided, getting up off the steps. Time to face one of my biggest fears I thought as I crossed the road to the bus, flicking my hair in place and taking a deep breath. I thought about how this could go wrong or how it could go well. I was outside the bus now, nowhere left to hide or run. So with that I knocked on the bus door.
~Andy's POV~
"Yes Jinxx" he said answering the girls question. Andy had felt sorry for her when she had broke down, it reminded him of the fans he had met who had broke down and confessed to cutting. He felt obliged to help it was just who he was. Allie had appeared to have gone green however. Juliet was currently looking at him quizzically.
"Hey... Allie?" Juliet put her hand on her arm trying to comfort her. Man Andy lobed his girlfriend. "Are you okay hun?" with this Allie continued to stare at nothing and had begun to shake her head.
A knock on the bus door interrupted the drama and CC wondered over to open it.
"Here he is!" CC chimed, to which a man came in recognized as the final of Andy's brothers and his final best friend, Jinxx.
~Allie's POV~
I couldn't handle this! Jinxx? I hadn't seen him in 4 years. I was 16 when I tried to jump off of that bridge. My mind was racing, going into a shut down mode. It was like I was drowning and I couldn't get to the surface, no air left in my lungs. I heard Juliet ask me a question but I couldn't process an answer. I had gone cold and I felt sick, I needed to lie down. I heard a knock on the bus. What if that was him!?
"Please could I go and lie down, I don't feel very well" I struggled. I was now cold and covered in sweat and it was tiring me out.
"Sure" Juliet smiled "I'll lend you something clean to sleep in"
We got up and left the boys, and began to head up to what I assumed was the top deck I'd came from. Juliet was leading the way and as we had just got to the top of the stairs I heard CC shout something happily.
I was quietly speaking to Juliet sat on "my" bunk, assuring her I would be ok. When a hand with a painted nail (red) popped through the curtains and knocked on a bunk. "Can I come in" A deep voice I recognized as Andy's spoke. "Everybody decent?" he whispered after.
Juliet and exchanged nods before she answered inviting Andy in. "Hey" he said softly "how are we?" he sat down next to Juliet on a separate bunk opposite mine.
"She's good" Juliet intertwined her hand with his "Just tired and shaken" she murmured looking at Andy like they were my worried parents at a hospital bedside.
"Ok good" he replied "I had wanted to introduce you to Jinxx" he continuted, glancing at me as I froze at his name. "But if you're not up to it..."
"I'm a little tired if I'm honest, meeting all you guys has took it out of me, both emotionally and psychically" I admitted apologetically. Pulling at the sleeve of the over sized plum jumper Juliet had lent me. She had also lent me some shorts which were comfy and clean.
"No problem!" Andy smiled (HOLY SHIT) well you know where the rest room is if needed" he winked before getting up to leave. Juliet smiling and following him. I chuckled sarcastically and lay down in the bunk. The smell of leather, smoke and hairspray surrounding me once more. Before I trailed off to the darkness I had been so desperate to get out of, once more.
