Save Me From Myself

*Alyssa's point of view*

The tattooed boy with the icey blue eyes, Andy, messaged me soon after I parted with Mitch. He wanted to go hang out while he was getting a new tattoo done. I happily agreed, I find the art of tattooing beautiful and amazing to observe. We meet at the center of the mall food court.

Andy greets me with a very friendly hug, "Hey, Ally. You hungry? We can pick up something to eat to go with your coffee." He suggests, "We are in a food court."

I shrug and take a quick sip from my coffee, "We can grab some sweets from that bakery across the away. Best chocolate glazed donut you'll ever have."

"I'll hold you to that," he chuckled as I lead him into the small shop. The aroma of vanilla, sugar, and fresh bread filled the air, giving the whole place a quaint atmosphere. Kinda makes you feel like you're at grandmas house and she made you cookies. I always love it in here. It's just a happy place for me . Course I always have to work out for eight hours after coming here but it's really worth it. We step up to the counter, Andy stares up at the menu board, looking slightly overwhelmed. He quickly turns to me, "Please order for me. Whatever you recommend," he softly pleas. "I'll play."
I smile and tip my head to him then turn to the cashier, "Two chocolate glazed donuts and a-for-two cinnamon roll, without the raisins or walnuts."

She gives us her forced cashier smile and punches our order into the register, "Alright, that'll be $8.89, will that be cash or credit?"

Andy hands the cashier a ten dollar bill, "Cash," she accepts our patronage, hands Andy back his change then gives us our sweets and sit at a corner table. I watch as Andy has a mouth-gasm when he first tries the donut. I tell him to eat the cinnamon roll with the donut. He follows my command and dramatically drops his head to the table when he rises he begins to go on and on about how amazing it tasted. I just chuckle and roll my eyes. "You're one beautiful genius!" He exclaims taking another bite. I can't help but blush at the fact he called me beautiful. He's such a handsome man, I'm sure girls are just falling all over him. I should be honored he's giving me the time of day, well we are touring together so I kinda have a cutsie-pass to him.

After the baked goods stop, we rush to the tattoo parlor to make his appointment. I sit in the seat beside the chair he sits in and opposite from the tattoo artist whom I watch in awe as she makes intricate designs on Andy's arm. Andy cringes at the pain of the needle but gives me a forced thumbs up to me signaling that he's fine but I know he's in some pain but he's trying to be all brave. It's so cute.

My phone vibrates in my pocket, I quickly pull it out to find a text from Mitch.

Mitch: Hey, are you free right now? We really need to talk.

Me: I'm not free right now, Mitchy but I should be in the next few hours. What's up?

Mitch: You'd think your best friend is more important than hanging out with some guy I'm positive you've just met.

Me: You need to watch yourself, Mitch. You are important to me but I do have a right to hang out with other people.

Mitch: Well considering you haven't spoken to me in 6 years, you'd think you'd be putting more focus on me.

Me: YOU haven't spoken to me either. You changed your number, I didn't. It's a two way conversation, you could've spoken to me as well. Why am I arguing with you? You're such a child. Bye.

I stuffed my phone back into my pocket to avoid letting the conversation continue on. Who the fuck does Mitch think he is? My fucking keeper? Last time I checked, he's the one who changed his number. I tried calling him when I was looking for band mates and friends so we could've rocked out together but I could never reach him and by fucking god that's not my fault. After months of trying I just stopped cause what was the point anymore?

Andy takes hold of one of my hands, applying his warmth to me then gave me his beautiful grin that I swear could melt any heart. "Hey, it's going to be okay. I promise. Okay?"

"Okay."
