One Of The Guys

"ANDY! [NAME]! I know you're in there! Open this damn door!"
Andy and I looked at each other in fear and shock, not knowing what to do. I looked down at my partially dressed body and scrambled inside to find my shorts and put them on. The knocking continued.
"Open this fucking door before I smash it in!" said the voice. Andy stood at the door and looked back to me with fear in his eyes. I had never seen that look before, he had always been so cool and calm. I stood by the bed, Andy unlocked the door and opened it.
CC burst through the door and straight away punched Andy with such great force that he fell against the wall.
"CC no!" I screamed, running forward to stop him doing it again. CC turned to me and spoke.
"So this is where they keep the ice now? Huh?"
"CC, I'm sorry, please calm down.." I pleaded, I could feel tears running down my face.
"Don't you fucking tell me to calm down" he pushed me and I fell to the floor. Andy jumped at CC shoving him.
"Don't you fucking push her!" he was right up in CC's face, turning red with anger.
"Oh getting all protective now are we?" said CC.
"Do. Not. Hurt. Her. Again." said Andy sternly. "You have a problem you take it up with me" he continued.
"Yeah I have a problem! My problem is you're fucking my girlfriend!" CC shouted in Andy's face. It looked like he was about to punch him again. I jumped up from the floor and tried to get between them.
"Please, stop!" I cried. "Just don't hurt each other!"
"[name] you stay out of this" said Andy, taking me and placing me behind him.
"Mr. Big Shot, Andy Biersack just couldn't play with his own toys, had to take someone else's" chanted CC.
"Hey, I was just doing the job you couldn't do" winked Andy. This sent CC over the edge. He pounced on Andy, punching him repeatedly. They fell to the floor. Still crying, I tried desperately to tear them apart. Suddenly I felt a sharp blow to my right eye. CC had aimed a punch at Andy and missed, getting me instead. I stumbled backwards, falling to the floor again. A pain erupted in my brain, but I had to stop the boys from tearing each other apart.
I ran to Ashley and Jake's shared room, two doors down and banged on the door.
"ASHLEY! JAKE! Please wake up! I need your help!" I banged on the door with my fists.
"Please! I think they're going to kill each other!" getting desperate, I started kicking the door, but there was still no answer. I ran back to Andy's room.
"IF YOU EVER FUCKING TOUCH HER AGAIN I'LL KILL YOU!"
CC had Andy pinned to the ground and was punching his face from both sides. I grabbed CCs arms and screamed for him to stop. Andy managed to get loose and punched CC in the jaw.
"She's not yours to control CC, she's her own person, she can make her own decisions" said Andy, punching him again. Feeling helpless, I sat on the floor and cried.
"Please, please, just stop.. Please.."
Finally, Ashley and Jake burst into the room looking sleepy and disoriented. Realising what was going on, Ashley grabbed CC and Jake restrained Andy.
"What the fuck happened?" asked Jake.
"He can't keep his hands off my girlfriend!" screamed CC, trying to charge at him again, but Ashley was too strong and held him back.
"Okay, CC, come on. You're going back to your room, you need to calm down" said Ashley, leading him towards the door.
"If he so much as lays a hand on her again, I'll kill him" CC said while leaving with Ashley. I could see his lip was busted open and he had a red mark on his jaw.
After they were gone, Jake released Andy who came running up to me.
"Are you okay?" he asked, running his thumb over my now swollen eye.
"I'm fine" I said shaking him off. My crying had turned into little whimpers. I turned to Jake.
"Jake, do you think it would be okay if I slept in you guys' room tonight?"
Jake looked from Andy to me before answering.
"Of course" he put his arm around my shoulder and led me out the door.
I looked back at Andy standing alone in his room. His hair tousled, both eyes swollen, nose busted and little bruises forming all around his face. I started to cry again.
"[name], wait!" he called, right before the door slammed, separating us.

I entered Ashley and Jakes room and Jake sat me down on one of the beds. I stared down mindlessly at the hotel carpet. Silently, Jake took a towel from the bathroom and filled it with ice from the minibar. He crouched down in front of me and placed it over my eye.
"Here, this should help" he said.
"Thanks" I mumbled.
Just then, Ashley returned from taking care of CC.
"Ashley, I'm sorry-" I started but he interrupted me.
"Save it [name]. I warned you about this but you just wouldn't listen would you?" he said.
I had no answer or explanation so I sat there in silence.
"CC is my best friend and you've hurt him, which means you've hurt me too"
Tears silently fell from my eyes.
"Look, just get some sleep and we'll talk about it in the morning" said Ashley.
And so we went to sleep. I took Jake's bed and he slept on the pull out couch. It took me at least an hour of silent crying before I fell into a sleep tormented with visions of CC and Andy fighting.
