Save Me From Myself

The rest of the day was pretty normal...I guess. It was still a little awkward between us, but I tried my best to ignore it. Ashley and Paige didn't really talk a lot. They just made out and left to the bedroom a lot.
The rest of us hung out in the bus. The guys didn't have another show for about 2 weeks, so it was nice just to hang out and talk.
Jake and Jinxx shared guitar tips while we played a bunch of games. Although I played bass, it wasn't the same consept, so I didn't really understand what they were talking about.
We were playing Scattergories. [The rules of the game are, you role a die and it lands on a letter. Say the letter is L, you would have to name something in the category matching that letter. So if the first category was A Boy's Name, you would say Liam, or Landon, or something like that.]
"Andy!" I yelled, "a cabinet is not an appliance!" He pouted.
"It kind of is! Besides, what appliance starts with a C?!"
"Cutlery," I listed, "can opener."
He laughed for a second, then flipped the board. Paper and pencils went flying everywhere. "I hate this game!" He continued to laugh as we shot him angry looks.
"Andy..." CC started, "you act like a toddler you know?"
Andy smiled. "Ya. I know. But that's why I'm fun! And please, you're one to talk!"
I chuckled. "Sure, Andy. Well, what now?"
Andy checked his phone. "Well, its 5:58. Oh! Let's go to a karaoke bar! There's one I like going to only about 15 minutes away!" My heart dropped.
"K-karaoke?" I stuttered. "I...I dunno, I can't sing or anything..."
Andy waved it off. "You don't have to be amazing. You just have to have fun! And if you really don't wanna sing, you don't have to."
I didn't say anything. I thought about the proposal.
"Besides," he continued. "It'd be fun to get out of here and do something fun! When was the last time you went somewhere cool?"
It was true. I could use something fun. Besides the concert I hadn't really done anything fun in a while. And.. I guess making Andy happy by going would be good since he's the reason why I'm here in the first place. I sighed in defeat.
"Alright, Andy. Let's go to the karaoke bar.
He cheered in delight, and grabbed my hand.
"Come on! Let's go right now!" He yelled. "CC! Jinxx! Jake! You guys coming?"
"Nope!" They all chorused together. I laughed at their response as Andy dragged me out of the tour bus and towords his car. He practically threw me into the passenger seat, and flew himself into the drivers seat. His black mustang roared to life, and he slowly started to back out of the small parking lot we were in.
"This is one of the only times we can go out to places and do things whenever we want," he explained to me. "Most of the time we're on the road, only stopping to get food and such."
I nodded. "I get it. It's nice getting out and having fun."
He smiled. "Speaking of fun..." Trailing off, he pressed a button, and the roof of the car slowly opened up. I gasped with excitement.
"Oh my god! I fucking love your car!' I raised my arms in the air, and felt the cold wind lap at my fingertips. I loved this feeling. I felt free. Something I never felt when I lived back with my parents.
He laughed. "I'm glad you like it." He turned on the radio, and for the next 10 minutes, we jammed out to music. It was so fun, just the two of us talking and singing. It felt comfortable.
Finally, we pulled into a parking lot. He parked in front a building named Jamie's Karaoke Lounge. I had a hunch that that was where we were going.
I unlocked the car door, but before I could open my door, Andy was already there. He opened my car door, and held out his hand.
This made me smile softly, and I took his hand. We walked up to the bar, and he held open the door for me.
"Thank you!" I said, gratefully.
He grinned in return. "No problem." As we walked inside together, I took in the surroundings. It looked so awesome!"
Strobe lights flashed around, there was a small stage where people sang, and there were plush couches everywhere. It looked more like a club, but I didn't mind. I liked it. We strolled over to one of the only tables in the bar, and took our seats.
"You hungry?" He asked. I shook my head. "Not really."
He shrugged. "Ya, I kinda just came here to watch the singers."
"Are you gonna sing?" I questioned.
He half-smiled. "Maybe."
"You should!" I encouraged. "They'll all love you."
His exprestion turned complex. "Alright," he agreed, "I'll sing. If-!"
I gave him a weary look. "If what?"
"You sing too."
I buried my face in my hands. "Do I have to?"
He folded his arms, a determined grin on his face. "If you want me to sing, yes."
I thought about it. I did want to hear him sing. But I didn't want to embarrass myself. Then again, maybe people wouldn't even pay attention to me. Everybody sang here, and I wasn't exactly one who grabbed the attention of people. I could do it.
"...Fine," I caved. "But you go first!"
He chuckled. "Fair enough," he agreed. With that, he stood up, and made his way towards the stage.
"Wait!" I called. "We're doing this now?!"
He turned his head, but kept walking. "It's as good a time as any!" He stood up on the stage, and grabbed a mic. He scrolled through the ipad of songs, until he smiled, tapped the song, and waited for the song to play.
What song will he sing? I thought.
After a few seconds, the music started, and my heart immediately started to race. It was Done For You. Andy pulled up a stool, and sat down as he began to sing.

The best things in life, come with a price
The star that burned so bright, faded the fastest.
You'll always feel it's rights
Even when we end the fights
Welcome home, home tonight.

He stared at me while he sang. My hands folded over my heart. It was so beautiful to hear. And the way he stared at me, it made me feel so happy, and so loved. The song continued as I kept listening to every word.

Singing ohhh, ohhh
Welcome home tonight
Ohhh ohh, tonight

Words they don't know how to make amends
And all they do is push you to the edge
But it's not wasted

Involuntarily, I felt my eyes tear up. Oh great. I did my best to wipe the tears from my eyes as Andy and I kept looking at each other. I just... felt like... he was singing this song to me. Could that be possible? Could he really have these feelings for me? More importantly, did I really have these feelings for him? I focused on his voice as he finished the song.

It's all done for you
(Oh ohhh)
It's all done for you
(Oh ohhh)
It's all done for you
(Oh ohhh)
It's all done for you
Oh ohh
Oh ohh...

Everything was silent for a moment, then, the entire room lit up with hoots and clapping. Andy waved to the crowed, and stepped off stage. He sat back down, and I forced myself to speak.
"That was... beautiful," I managed to choke out.
He smiled a warm smile. "We can talk about this later. Find your voice, because it's your turn."
I sighed. I slowly stood up, and made my way to the stage.
I didn't feel nervous anymore though. Maybe Andy singing gave me a new courage? I don't know. I scrolled through the songs until I picked one that I really liked.
Lana Del Rey, Once Upon A Dream. The song started to play, and I looked out at the crowd. Relief flooded through me. Only a few people were looking. I started to sing.

I know you...I've walked with you once upon a dream
I know you... that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true, that visions are seldomall they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once, upon a dream...

I started to lose myself in the music. I could feel my hips starting to sway to the rhythm of the song. Looking around again, I saw that now almost every person in the room had their gaze looked on me. But I didn't care anymore. I just continued to sing as I looked gazes with Andy. His eyes were wide, and his mouth hung open. I closed my eyes as I continued the song.

Oh, oh, oh mmm
oh, oh, oh mmm
mmm, mmm
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once, upon a dream...

I had fully lost myself in the music. It was like the room was empty. But as I opened my eyes, I saw that one person was still in the room. Andy. His face was flooded with admiration, and surprise. It was then that I realized, he was the reason I was on this stage. Why I had the guts to do this. It was all him. I finished up the song strong, eager to finish it and talk to him.

I know you... I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you.. that gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once, upon...a...dream...

The room almost exploded with cheer. I took in the atmosphere, and lost my breath. I covered my mouth with my hands as new tears began to flow. I quickly stepped off stage and took my seat.
I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. All I could do was stare at Andy, and he the same. After what seemed like forever, he took my hand again, and dragged me out of the bar.
He kept pulling me until we were at the front corner of the building. He pushed my back against the wall, and stared into my eyes. After a minute, he started to laugh.
"I thought you said you couldn't sing!"
"I-I can't!" I stuttered.
His expression grew sincere.
"Emily..." He started, "your voice is absolutely beautiful. I've never heard anything like it..."
I blushed, and lowered my head.Andy liked my voice... Andy Biersack loved my voice. Sounds so impossible...
I felt his hand slide under my chin, and lift up my head.
"You look so cute when you blush..." he mumbled.
My eyes widened. I stared into his blue eyes. Did Andy just all me cute? Was it possible that... he liked me? I knew I liked him. I wasn't stupid. I can't just force myself to believe something that I know isn't true. I tried to push back my feelings. I tried to make myself think that I didn't have feelings for him. But I did. I didn't think that there was any way he could like me back. But was there a chance that... he actually did?
When he started to lean in, I knew the answer was yes. His forehead rested on mine, and I felt his arms wrap around my waist.
I didn't want to hold back my feelings anymore. I wanted to be with him. I ran my fingers through his hair, then wrapped my arms around his neck.
He gave me a look that asked, is this ok? I smiled, and nodded.
He returned the smile, and slowly, our lips connected.
The warmth of his lips shot through me. I got a sensation that I'd never felt before. I felt a deep feeling of happiness. Yet I felt slight butterflies. Our lips quickly found rhythm, and he deepened the kiss. His grasp on my waist tightened. He pulled me into him, and I felt a purr rise in his chest. I smiled through our kiss.
After a while, I pulled away, and I laid my head on his chest. I felt Andy's arms wrap around me protectively.
I again looked up into his gorgeous eyes. He smiled and stroked my cheek.
"Emily... I can't hide what I feel for you anymore. I've tried, and tried, but every time I look at you, and see your beautiful smile, I know just now deeply I care about you, and how deep my feelings are for you."
He lightly took my hands, and intertwined my fingers around his.
"I know that you feel broken, and I know that you've been through such hard times that... loving someone is hard to do. But I want you to know that I would never hurt you. I'll always be there for you, no matter what.
He held my hands tighter and held his breath.
"Emily, I want you to be mine." He paused for a moment. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
I softly gasped. Andy just asked me to be his girlfriend... Could I take the risk of being in a relationship? Could I even be a proper girlfriend to someone like him? And...could I actually...love someone again?
One glance at his worried, yet hopeful face, and I knew the answer.
I closed my eyes, and smiled a true, real smile.
"Yes. Yes Andy. I would love to be your girlfriend."
Delight soared in his eyes, and he grinned the biggest smile I've ever seen.
He picked me up, and spun me around in a tight hug. He squeezed so tight that I started to get light-headed.
"Andy! Again! Breathing...is...important!"
He set me down again and held one of my hands. "Sorry," he broke into a small laugh. "Should we go back now and... tell the others?"
I half-smiled. "Sure," I replied. "I wonder how Paige will react..."
"Oh god," he fake shuddered. "Guess it's time to find out." He kissed my cheek, and we headed back towards his car. Only one thought ran though my mind.
I'm dating Andy Biersack... the best guy I've ever known.
