Nonstop To Nowhere - Fallen Angel (Tome I)

We were in April and Skylar was eager to find the man she loved. However, she did not imagine a single second of the surprise that awaited her, because if she had known what was waiting for her, she would not have made the trip.

She landed on the Californian floor several hours later. She was both stressed and impatient. With his suitcase in one hand and his purse in the other, Skylar was looking for him with eyes and a familiar smile that came into his field of vision. They hugged each other then he took his suitcase before heading to the parking lot where he stopped in front of an Audi R8. The blonde girl was surprised by this car and didn't fail to point out by pointing the car?

- It this your car ?
- Hum, yes ...
- Wait, are you kidding?

He seemed embarrassed by her remark.

- I didn't think you could have that kind of car ... She said with a small embarrassed smile.

This was the first surprise of this trip. The second was the moment she entered his villa. What had he thought of my apartment? Skylar thought as he entered the lobby and then into the living room. She felt a little hurt, embarrassed and above all, not in her place.

- Wow it's huge, I didn't expect something so big! She replied again surprised.
- Make yourself at home. He said kissing her.
- Ok. She replied, clumsily getting rid of her trench coat and put it on the back of the huge white sofa.

This gesture didn't fail to the singer's eyes who saw her uneasiness.

- Everything good ? He asked her then.
- Hum, yes, it's just that ... I didn't know you were so ... rich. I don't want you to think that I came here to ...
- You came for me, don't worry, I know ... You told me besides that you didn't expect it!
- I know, but ... It's weird ...

He then made her visit his apartment. In a sort of office, there was a microphone and a guitar on a tripod. Even though Skylar was not a great musician, she knew right away that it wasn't amateur material.

- Do you play guitar and sing? She asked with a smile.
- More singing, from time to time ...
- You better sing at least once for me!

After visiting his apartment, they decided to walk around the city. It was hot in Los Angeles just like in Miami but it was a nice city to walk around and visit. They met by chance, one of his friends. Its jovial and friendly attitude pleased Skylar. He was less tall than Andy but just like him, he was covered with tattooed.

- Sky, this is Jinxx, Jinxx, here is Skylar.
- I finally meet the famous Skylar! He talks so much about you that it's as if we already knew you! In any case welcome to L.A!
- Really ? She said turning to her boyfriend who smiled embarrassed by his friend's sentence.

This is how the blonde girl began to fully integrate Andy's life, by entering his circle of friends. Following this meeting, a dinner was organized at Andy's. Jinxx had asked her to make a Boeuf Bourguignon, a French dish that he loved very much but to her boyfriend dismay who told her that his friend was unbearable in food and that he liked to eat foreign dishes.

On the day of the dinner she met four of his closest friends. Only, Ashley, the pervert as they told her, was missing because he were with his family.

She loved when Andy was singing, he looked so happy. One morning, he made her listen to a song the melody was intoxicating. "I love it's very beautiful," she told him, but at the same time another much more violent one of the same group set off. Her facial expression was such that Andy couldn't help but laugh.

This week in Los Angeles was going wonderfully well, however her opinion of the one she loved changed drastically when a stranger called out on the street and asked Matt if he was the singer of Black Veil Brides and if he could have an autograph and take a picture with him. The blonde girl then took the picture wondering what could happen. He was going to have to give her some serious explanations, because there was one thing that Skylar hated, is that someone was lying to her.

- What was that ? What is happening ? Why did he ask you for an autograph? She got mad.
- Listen to me, calm down ...
- Calm down ? How do you want me to calm down when you lied to me? She shouted then.
- I didn't lie to you, maybe by omission but I didn't lie to you ... I didn't want you to be attracted to me just because of what I'm doing ... I'm a singer in a metal band that is well known and ...
- Are you a rockstar ?! Oh my god and I thought you were a CEO or something. Well that explains all your tattoos and your dress style. I think I need to be alone ...
- Sky, wait ... He asked, trying to hold her back.
- Leave me alone ! I need to be alone!

The dancer went furious in the opposite direction. She walked with a quick step for a few minutes and then decided to sit in a cafe to think about this news. She felt hurt and humiliated. How could he hide her such a thing? Skylar decided to call Jenny because she was always good advice but also because she thought she could help him.

- Sky! How are you ? All goes well in L.A ?
- Not really no, that's precisely why I'm calling you. I just learned that Andy has been lying to me since the beginning on his profession and that he is the singer of a ...
- I know ... I've known it since the first time you showed us his photo to Cassie and I, that's why we acted strangely and his band is the one we went to see when they were in Miami. We're both fan of them.
- What ?! Are you kidding me ! You knew about it from the beginning and you didn't tell me anything? How could you hide me something like that?
- He had asked me to say nothing and he didn't want us to say anything ...
- And you listened to him? You preferred to keep that for yourself and listen to a rockstar that you don't even know instead of telling it to your best friend? It's a joke? You know, my mother told me something once: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything", then you know what I prefer not to say anything and hang up.
- Sky plea...
- Bye!

She hung up, but felt guilty for talking this way to her best friend, the one she considered like her sister, but she was so furious against Jenny. She paid for her coffee at the counter and returned to the villa by taxi. Once at the door of Andy's house, Skylar took a deep breath and knocked on his door. He opened it after a few seconds, looking worried.

- I was getting worried ... Are you okay?
- You know I'm used to being betrayed and hurt by my ex, so a little more or a little less ...
- I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you, but try to understand me ... I meet almost every day fans and believe me they are many who want your place, they would be ready to kill for that! But most of all, I didn't want you to see me as a rockstar but just as ... me, quite simply.
- And it didn't cross your mind that I didn't know your band or that I wasn't at all attracted to that kind of music and that kind of person? And Mike was a rockstar too, certainly perhaps less known than you and your band but still!
- I realized that the day you showed me a photo of a friend with Ashley and Jake, you don't even remember the name of the band ...
- So under the pretext that you play in a band of which my friends are fans, you have to hide it ?! That's to much ! ...

He looks at her with puppy eyes desperately looking for another way to apologize, make her surrender ... How could she blame him? But it was too late, the damage was done. She smiled at him, took him in his arms and he did the same.

- I don't want to talk about it any more, at least not for the moment.
- Ok. I'm really sorry.

The evening went like the others with cuddles on the couch with laughs and kisses. However, after making sure that he was asleep after making love, the blonde girl got up, got out of bed on her tiptoes, got dressed, put her things in her suitcase as discreetly as she could, wrote a note and left the apartment. She took a cab that dropped her off to the airport and took the first flight to the new continent. Tears beaded on her cheeks as she remembered all the good times spent with him, but it was impossible for her to forgive him. He had hidden more than ten years of his life and that, she couldn't accept it.
