My Saving Grace

We drive in silence for at least 20 minutes.
“Are we close?” I ask in a whine. He chuckles.
“Yea, we’ll be there soon. Calm down.” I hear him sigh and he mumbles to himself.
“Are you okay?” I ask. He chuckles a little bit.
“Umm…..Yea I’m fine why you ask?” I bite my lip.
“Because I wanna know. And I’m trying to keep the conversation going…is that a bad thing?” I ask turning my head to where he would be. I hear him laugh

“I guess not.” The car starts to jerk from side to side. Where are we?
“We’re here.” Andy says stopping the car, and killing the engine. I hear him get out and shut his car door. A few seconds later my car door opens. He pulls me out of the seat and shuts the door.

“Oh Andy you’re here. Is this her?” I hear a voice say.
“Yes, you can go now.” Andy responds quickly.
“You aren’t gonna let me meet her?” The voice says. All I know is that it is a guy.
“Andy?” I say pulling off the blindfold.
“No no no! Not yet!” Andy says pushing the blindfold back over my eyes. I huff and roll my eyes behind the blindfold
“Ok, ok I’m leaving.” I hear the voice say. There are footsteps behind me and then the sound of an engine. The car drives off with a roar.

“Andy who was that?” I ask still blindfolded. He grabs my arm and starts leading me slowly, so I don’t trip.
“It was just Ashley. I made him stay here and make sure nothing happened while I got you.” He says still leading me. “He’s in my band.” Oh yeah I forgot that he was in a band.
“Oh yeah, you have a band, Black Veil Brides, right?” He laughs. “Yeah,” he says stopping me.
“Was you ever gonna show them to me?” I ask breathing in the cool air. He sighs.

“Yea, but I didn’t know how far we’d get. And besides you don’t even listen to us. Are you ready to take the blindfold off?” I nod, and he slowly pulls the blindfold off. I blink a few times then gasp. We’re on top of a mountain, more like a small hill. I can’t see anything else but hills and trees. The scenery is breathtaking. And that’s only half of it. There is a big blanket laid out with small white candles that are lit, surrounding the border off the blanket. There is a picnic basket in the middle of the blanket.

“Like it?” He asks. I’m speechless. It’s so beautiful.
“Yes, I do……It’s beautiful…Andy.” I look him in the eyes. He smiles widely.
“I did it up here so we could watch the sunset.” I look around and notice that he is right on cue.
“Wow.” Is all I could say. We sit down on the blanket and watch the sun set slowly, in silence. The sun slowly goes down further as purple and pink streak the sky. It is a beautiful sight, truly. I lay my head on Andy’s chest as the sun disappears and its dark outside. I close my eyes and listen to his heartbeat. His chest rises and falls with every breath he takes.

“You hungry?" He asks His voice rumbling through his chest.
“Nah, I’m good.” I say laying my back on the blanket and looking at the stars. They stick out and shine so bright because the night sky is so dark. He sighs and lies down beside me. I look over at him, and he’s looking at me. His face is glowing in the candlelight. It almost looks like there is a light shining on him. All he needs now is a halo, and a set of wings and he would be the perfect angle.

“Hey, Andy?” I ask looking into his eyes.
“Yeah?” He asks smiling.
“Sing me something. One of your songs from your band.”

~Andy’s POV:

“Sing me something. One of your songs from your band.” She says looking back up at the stars. I think about what I should sing for her. I decide to sing saviour when she looks back at me.
“Please Andy?” She asks giving me puppy dog eyes. I chuckle.
“I am...I am…” She smiles. “What song are you going to sing?” She asks looking into my eyes. “Saviour.” I take a deep breath and I start singing.

I never meant to be the one, who kept you from the dark.
But now I know my wounds are sewn because of who you are
I will take this burden on, and become the holey one.
But remember I am human, and I’m bound to sing this song.

So hear my voice, remind you not to bleed
I’m here, Saviour, will be there

When you are feeling alone, oh.
A saviour for all that you do,
so you live freely without their harm.

So here I write my lullaby, to all the lonely ones.
Remember as you learn to try, to be the one you love.
So I can take this pen, and teach you how to live.
What is left unsaid, the greatest gift I give.

So hear my voice, remind you not to bleed.
I’m here, Saviour, will be there.
When you are feeling alone, oh.
A saviour for all that you do, so you live freely without their harm.

I notice tears running down her face and I stop. I wipe away her tears, and ask, “What’s wrong Jessica?”

~Jessica’s POV:

He stops singing and looks at me. He wipes away my tears with his thumbs and asks me “What’s wrong?” I shake my head and sniffle. “Nothing. It’s just that song, the lyrics are beautiful. They mean a lot to me, because of all the stuff I’ve been through.” I say putting my head into his chest and sobbing quietly. He wraps his arms around me and rubs circles into my back. Suddenly I feel exhausted and can barely keep my eyes open. I try to fight it, but my lids drag heavily across my eyes and I fall asleep in Andy's arms
