I Was So Bitter, Till You Came Along

"What was a mistake?" Ashley asked me. I stood up.

"Coming here. It was a mistake," I said.

"Casey," Andy said desperately.

"No! Ashley is acting like this is such a bad thing but it's not. Ashley, Andy and I both wanted to do it, so we did. I told him I wanted to, he made sure that I was one-hundred percent sure, and I said yes. What's so bad about it that you have to kick me off of the tour?" I asked.

"Because you're my sister," he said thickly.

"That might be true, but I'm not a baby anymore! I'm old enough to make my own decisions. I'm not as vulnerable as you may think I am. I'm going to be eighteen in-"

"I'm aware of that, Casey."

"If so, then you shouldn't mind me going on this tour with you. I'm going to pack, the bus is going to arrive on Thursday at ten a.m. on the fucking dot, and the three of us are going to get on it. We're going to have one hell of a summer without your bitchy fucking attitude about Andy and I, and we're going to enjoy it. You got me?" I asked my brother. Ashley and Andy were staring at me, and Ashley nodded slowly.

"Good. Now get out of my room," I said, and they both started to leave.

"Andy, you stay," I said. Ashley was gone, and Andy turned to face me.

"Are we okay?" Andy asked.

"We?" I asked, "Andy, there is no we. It was a one time thing. Granted, it was amazing, but that doesn't change anything. I'm not looking for a relationship, or marriage, or kids right now if ever. We're going to carry on with our lives as normally as we can, and we're going to put this behind us, because I can't handle this. I've never done anything like this before, and I'm inexperienced." Andy nodded.

"It doesn't hurt to try, Casey. Why are you so set on pushing me away? You push away anyone that tries to get close to you. Why is that?" Andy's words were left echoing through my head, and I sat down on my bed. He sat next to me, awaiting my answer.

"Because I've never felt this way about anyone before. I don't know how to describe how I feel," I confessed. Andy pulled me against him.

"Can I just have some time alone to myself?" I asked quietly.

"Of course." Andy pressed a gentle kiss against my temple, and he went to his room. I grabbed my phone, and I turned on some Mayday Parade, and I started to quietly sing along as I started packing.

Let's hope the worst of this was over.
