Come Now and Imagine with Me

Never Thought That I'd be Leaving You Today

-Andy's POV-

I hadn't spoken to anyone until the minute we were about to go onstage, and that was checking how many water bottles I could bring with me. The crowd went wild as I ran out, chanting "Black Veil Brides, Black Veil Brides!" along with my name. I grabbed the microphone and they all went quiet.
"Hey, what's up, guys?! Tonight we're going to open with Devil in the Mirror!" I shouted, and so it began. Since I had thought ahead and prepared myself with more water bottles handy, I didn't cough at all, taking sips between lyrics to manage this. Near the end, however, as we were closing with Knives and Pens, I could feel the familiar tightness as my chest sucked itself inward, constricting my lungs in aching pain that affected my shoulders, too, making it much more difficult to breathe. I let none of this show, however, as we finished the song and I made a quick closing statement, eager to get onto the bus again, for once. I didn't even make it that far. As we walked backstage, I began hacking away, but it didn't stop after a few moments. No, the coughing persisted to a violent level; the whole band stared at me in shock as I doubled over in pain, sputtering up some bloody chunk of god knows what. I collapsed into CC’s arms, who had been standing behind me.
“Andy, you’re going to the hospital,” Jinxx announced firmly, taking out his phone. I nodded weakly, unable to protest.
“Woah there, you alright?” CC asked, concerned as he helped me stand up.
“Yeah,” I croaked out. “Thanks.” He and Jake began talking to our manager, explaining what just happened, Jinxx was still calling for an ambulance, but Ashley was silent. Deadly quiet.
“Ash,” I started, voice raspy.
“Save it, smoker,” he interrupted. “It’s those damn cancer sticks, that’s what. I fucking hid them for a fucking reason, you know. You’ve been losing weight, sleeping more, coughing… I was terrified of this happening but knew you wouldn’t fucking listen if I fucking told you to quit, because no, you’re a responsible adult who can make his own fucking decisions, it’s your life, not mine, all fun and games, nothing’s going to happen, WELL LOOK WHAT FUCKING DID!” He screamed, tears in his eyes. “I tried to stop you because I’m your best friend and I care about what happens to you, Andy. I did what I did for your own health, but I still wasn’t quick enough. I wouldn’t be surprise if you had lung cancer,” he muttered, thinking I hadn’t heard the last part. I was speechless, mouth gaping open with no words to counter what Ashley just said. He was right, something told me. There was nothing more to say, and the wail of a siren saved me from another second of agony filled silence as they came and laid me down in a stretcher in the back, injecting a needle with medicine that made me black out.

-Ashley’s POV-

Jinxx was driving us all in a separate car to the hospital, while CC bit his lip and stared out the window in thought, Jake gazed at the car floor, and I sniffled, twisting in my seat and worried sick about Andy.
“Someone should call Juliet,” I mumbled, the only sound in a car of deep quiet.
“I will,” Jake volunteered softly, pulling out his phone and dialing her number. “Don’t really know what to tell her, though. Or how to tell her.” At that moment, she picked up. “Juliet?” I could hear her on the phone from my seat next to Jake.
“Hey, Jake, what’s up?” She asked cheerfully. He gulped.
“Well, it’s not good. I don’t want to freak you out, but we’re taking Andy to the local hospital. He was coughing up blood and-and Ash thinks it’s because of his smoking.”
“Tell me the address, I’ll be right there,” Juliet replied, panic behind her promise. I spaced out and began staring out the window. I shouldn’t have said that to Andy. I should never have yelled at him like that. Sure, it was his choice to smoke that lead him to where we are today, dragging him off in the back of an ambulance, but he was still a kid. There were seven years between us, seven years that I should have considered before mocking him and his decisions. But I was one of his four best friends, more like brothers we were so close, and I was afraid for him. So, so, afraid. Heart pounding, Jinxx pulled into the hospital parking lot.
