Hell - Bent

Kate’s POV:

I’m in the middle of packing for Warped tour when my cell phone rings.

I let it ring aimlessly for a few moments, nervously biting my lip as I rack my brain for anything else that I may need, but the annoying ringing finally gets to me. I give in and pick up, running a perfectly manicured hand through my messy blonde hair.

“Hello?”

I listen for a few moments, remaining silent as my stomach churns with nerves; of all days to get this call.

When I hang up, after promising to have an answer for them by the end of the week, I head into Andy and my kitchen to prepare myself some lunch. Since Andy has already started to the tour, I’m left to myself, well, I do have Crow for company. Tomorrow morning however, he’ll be dropped off at his cat sitter’s house and I will be boarding a plane to…. Somewhere.

I’ve been rather forgetful and flighty of late. Andy says its probably just nerves or maybe I’m coming down with something. I personally hope it is the former, seeing as for the next month and a half I’ll be travelling across North America in a bus shared with a bunch of guys, and the love of my life. Andy makes everything worth it.

My small salad tastes oddly bland, which is strange considering how fresh the vegetables are. In a race against my churning stomach, I manage to successfully make it to the bathroom before I become acquainted with the toilet as I let out my stomach’s contents.

Leaning back against the tiled wall, I try to catch my breath, internally groaning. Of course I had to get sick right before tour. Maybe I have a fever? Ugh.

I’ll just have to check my temperature then.

I nervously wait for Andy to pick up his phone. I know he isn’t performing now and I really need to speak with him.

So many things are happening, and I’m not sure if I’m ready for any of them, any of these new changes. Hell, I am certain that Andy isn’t ready for any of them, which only adds to my nerves.

He finally picks up on my third attempt, sounding exhausted and faint. “Katie? Everything okay?”

I release my lip as I open my mouth to speak; yet no words come. I attempt to again, and this time I actually am able to make a sound.

“Andy, I-”

End of Hell-Bent.

Notes

Well, that's a wrap folks!

I deliberately left the ending open so that you guys can maybe guess and even come up with your own ending! There are a lot of possibilities and I am generally curious as to what you guys come up with! I wanted to end this story like this from the start, so don't think that I just got lazy.

I'll admit, this story wasn't my strong-point and I am incredibly sorry for that, but I will say this; I loved writing the beginning. After Katie got her job offer, I began to run out of ideas. For that reason, I may either delete this story eventually or simply rewrite it. I'll let you guys no whichever option I decide :)

I know what Katie was going to say to Andy, so comment what you think!

I love you guys, and thank you so much for reading and putting up with my estranged updating habits lol
