Escaping Grace

"Okay, so the concert is tomorrow," Andy said, messing with my hair. We were reclined on the couch, and I was leaning against his chest, my necklace shimmering in the lamplight. "I'm almost sad about it," I sighed. "I think I owe my manager a raise for getting us to open for you."
"I think he needs an award," he chuckled, and pressed a kiss to my ear. "And a new car."
"Okay, I think a raise should be sufficient," I laughed, tilting my head to look at him. "I can't even afford a new car."
"Would you want one?"
"Nah," I shook my head quickly, aptly aware he was serious. "I've never been much for driving, and it's too much of a hassle in the city. Dangerous," I raised a brow at him. "Like the brakes could fail."
Andy frowned at me. I was still pretty sure he would never drive another car.
I glanced over as someone knocked on the door, and I sighed, rolling to my feet.
"I got it," I told Andy, patting his knee through his obnoxious Batman sleep pants.
I walked over to the door, and pulled it open before the person could knock again. Ashley pressed a finger to his lips, Jinxx and Jake behind him. I hesitated, them took a step back to let them in.
"Who is it?" Andy called from the couch, his back to the door. I didn't say anything, frowning as the guys crept up behind him.
This wasn't going to end well.
I shut the door as all three of them jumped on the couch, and Andy gave a shout of surprise as three of his band mates suddenly toppled on top of him.
"What the fuck?" he shouted, and shoved the laughing trio off him.
"Dude, okay, so what's our plan for tomorrow?" Jake asked as he climbed out of the floor and to his feet. "We gonna throw a goodbye party?"
"How is it goodbye?" I asked, sitting on the edge of the couch. "We have tour soon, and then you guys have Warped."
"Yeah, but that's a couple months away," Jinxx told me, lounging on the other couch, his feet propped on the coffee table. "So we won't see you guys as often."
"Well, some of us won't," Jake amended. "Andy and CC are like attached at the hip to you guys."
"Or somewhere," Ashley added, and we all rolled our eyes. He just couldn't help himself.
"Let's make sure this party is great! Like a big bash," Jinxx looked excited. "Leah should get noise complaints for weeks afterwards!"
"Leah does not agree with that," I interjected quickly before they got any major ideas. "Like whatsoever. My manager is super old, you guys."
"Do you ever not wear sweats anymore?" Ashley suddenly asked, staring me and Andy down. "Every time I see you guys together at your places you're never in pants. Is it because it's easier to pull off at a moments notice?"
"Yes." I said immediately, staring him down. "What, can you not perform on a moments notice?"
Ashley opened his mouth to respond, but suddenly paused, as if he wasn't sure how to answer.
"Dayum, Leah one, Ashley zero," Jinxx grinned. "That's a rare sight to see."
Ashley frowned, as if realizing he was off his game. His phone suddenly buzzed, and he left the room to answer it.
"It's that girl," Jinxx said, watching his friend leave. "She's got him all twisted up."
"Who is it, do you guys know?" I asked curiously, and Jake started to speak, but Andy suddenly grabbed me, pulling me backward off the couch until I landed in his lap, my legs dangling off the back of the couch.
"Ahck!" I squealed as I landed, and he laughed, tugging my shirt back down when it fell up. He grinned at me, and leaned down to give me a tender kiss, and only pulled away when his friends started complaining..
I smiled up at him, and he chuckled, leaning back against the sofa, his hair messed.
Ashley suddenly stepped into the room. "Guys, I gotta run, some things come up."
"Like what? We got plans, dude!" Jinxx protested.
"Yeah, I know, but it's kind of a thing." Ash didn't look happy. "I gotta go. See ya!"
"He's doing this way too much," Jake complained as Ashley abruptly left. I frowned, hoping everything was okay.
Andy laid his hand on my stomach absently, looking Back at the door with a frown. He hadn't shaved in a couple days, and he was getting major scruff, making thay Johnny Depp resemblance appear again.
And oh did I like Johnny Depp.
I felt like a turtle as I tried to roll out of my inceasingly uncomfortable position, and ignored Jinxxs remark.
"So, party at your place right?" Jake asked me as I finally got to my feet.
"Yeah. Vales doing all the work, so if you want details you better ask her. I'm just staying out of the way."
"Good plan, she's scary."
"Oh my god, not you guys too," I sighed.
"Hey, Vales cool and all, but she's fierce. Can't blame a guy for being cautious." Jinxx told me. "CCs all into the badass types, though. So it works."
Well, Vale was definitely a badass.

Notes

Things are about to start amping up, so get yourselves prepared! There's not too many chapters left, unfortunately, but I have in mind a sequel I might start working on later.
