Escaping Grace

I broke three knuckles in my hand when I broke his nose, and I had to wear a brace around my elbow for a while where I'd knocked it against the stairs. Andy ended up needing three stitches on his cheek, but otherwise came out fine.
Romochka went to jail, and I pressed every single charge they could think of to keep him in there as long as possible and away from me.
He'd been right though; even after all this time and effort, I still couldn't escape him. No matter what I did, or how I moved on, or even if I became stronger, I couldn't stop being afraid of him; it was like a niggling fear that was planted in my mind and would never leave.
And I'd involved Andy in my issues, which almost made it so much worse.
I glanced over at him where he watched TV, flipping through channels absently. He was without a doubt the most amazing person ever. I owed him so much, amd Ashley too.
He'd stepped up when I hadn't expected him too, and he'd been hovering around ever since, texting me now and then to see if I needed anything like everyone else wasn't obnoxiously doing the same thing.
Not that I was being bitchy about it. I think my pain meds were just not working for me.
I huffed as I slid to my feet and went to the kitchen.
"You want anything?"
"No." he continued to flip channels, like he had for the last hour, like he had for the last two days I'd been here. I was going to throw my soda at him lefthanded, which meant it was anyone's guess where it landed.
"Andy, pick a station already!" I grumbled as I sat back down, curling my legs under me. I struggled to pop the soda, and he glanced over before reaching and popping it for me. "And I can do that myself!"
"Right. Babe, I think you need some different meds," he angled himself toward me. "Because those are turning you into a Vale."
I rolled my eyes.
"Please don't let that term catch on and slip in front of her," I muttered, tucking my hair behind my ear.
I had a cast on my hand that reached all the way up my wrist that I had to wear for at least a month, and it basically paralyzed my right side. I couldn't even open soda by myself. I glanced at Andy.
He'd already had his stitches pulled, and I was hoping it wouldn't scar. I would feel awful if he did, especially since it was my fault.
"Stop looking at me like that," he muttered, flipping the channel. "I can practically feel your mind working to blame yourself."
I frowned. "He wouldn't have been there ---."
"He's fucking crazy, Leah. There's nothing you could've done that would've helped. The crazy fuck kissed you after he knows how much you hate him!" I glanced down, seeing his hand clench. "I shouldve beat him unconscious."
"Andy ---." I started, but he shook his head, abruptly getting to his feet and stalking away to his bedroom.
I watched him go silently, and sighed.
He's so moody.
I dug my phone out of my pocket, and squinted, typing a text to Vale with one hand.

Andys in ass mood again.

It didn't take her long to reply.

CC is too. Some things up

I frowned.

What do you think it is?

Idk. Btw you got some mail from home today

I hesitated. Mail?

From who?

Do I even have to tell you?

Fuck. She was right. I knew who it was.

Throw it away then, I don't wanna see it

God it took me forever to type.

You don't even wanna read it?

No

"Leah!"
"Yeah?"
"Have you seen my t shirt with the black drag ---."
"It's in the closet, Andy! Beside the wall," I called, slightly annoyed. He was even weirder about his clothes then I was, and if they weren't hanging precisely where they were supposed to be he had a tizzy.
I heard him rustling around, and I assumed he found it.
I scowled, trying to finish my text up to Vale with as little typos as possible. Why couldn't I have punched him with my left hand?
I shuffled, and set my soda on the table instead of letting it rest in my lap. I hopped to my feet and stepped into the kitchen, searching for the box of fruit loops I know Andy had hidden from the guys.
Of course he put it on a high shelf.
Disappointed, I opened the fridge instead, not about to ask for help.
There was no reachable food in this entire apartment.
"Andy! What do you want to eat, I'm ordering out!"
"Whatever you want."
Helpful.
I sat back down, skimming my contacts for all the restaurants.
Pizza it was.
I ordered our food, and then answered the phone as Vale called. At first, all I heard was excited screaming, and about the third time I finally understood what she had been saying. "WE WHAT?" I squealed in excitement. "OH MY GOD. ANDY!"
He stepped out of the bedroom, a basket of laundry in his arms; it was weird to see him so homey.
"What is it?"
"We made it to Warped!" I dropped my phone on the couch, completely forgetting Vale as I went to him excitedly. "We're on Warped!"
"Really? Awesome!" he dropped the basket in time to catch me as I flung my arms around his neck.
"We're on Warped Tour! I never thought that would happen!" Andy laughed, keeping his arms tight around me. "Just shows how good a band you are," he teased, and gave me a quick kiss. "Now we can still see you guys instead of missing you for months!"
I grinned, pressing my face against his chest in excitement. Everything was working out. We would be going on Warped together, we wouldn't be apart. Well, considering we would be on our own busses, we would be a little apart. And we would get to see so many new places! I'd only ever been in Cali and Georgia. I was so excited I thought I could faint!
"Babe?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you let go? I still have to do laundry," he chuckled, brushing at my hair.
I glanced down, and kicked the laundry basket out of the way. "It can wait."
Andy raised a brow. "Are you sure? You have a fit if you don't have enough jeans ---."
I kissed him, shutting him up. He would have plenty of time for laundry when I was done with him.
Which would hopefully be never.
