The Mortician's Daughter
Live Fast, Die Young
Andy
I nervously pace backstage before our band goes on. I take a peek and see Annabel, Karissa and Taylor all sitting up front, talking to another girl. Annabel spots me and waves at me. I smile and wave back before heading back inside. “You ready Six?” I hear one of my bandmates say.
“As ready as I’ll ever be.” I mutter as they all go out as soon as the lights dim. I can hear the crowd chanting our name and a smile creeps onto my lips as I run out there as the guys do the intro to Knives and Pens.
Annabel
I must say I’m surprisingly shocked when it comes to Andy’s band. I thought they’d be like every other “scene” band but they clearly aren’t. The lyrics are amazing and really deep if you analyze it. The concert is going great that’s until a bunch of assholes start calling Andy a faggot. I look up at him and he is mortified. “Guys, help me up onto the stage.” I yell to Karissa, Taylor and our new found friend Katie.
“What do you plan on doing?” Taylor asks.
“Just watch.” I smirk as the girls help me up onto the stage. I walk over to Andy and he’s giving me a very confused look. I push the microphone down far enough so that no one can hear me. “Follow my lead.” I tell Andy before grabbing a fist full of his Alkaline Trio t-shirt and pulling him to me until our lips crashed together. At first he’s of coursed shocked by the kiss but seconds later he wraps his arms around me; kissing me back. Almost instantly, the guys giving Andy shit stopped their taunting. I pull away with a smile on my lips before jumping back into the crowd. Andy stands there shocked for a brief moment before going on back to playing their set.
After the concert we all head out back to see Andy leaning up against the wall, smoking a cigarette while the other guys are loading the van up. Karissa is the first to run up and hug Andy following Taylor then myself and Katie. I give him a brief hug before introducing him to our new friend, who so happens to be attending our school soon.
As everyone else is talking the band, Andy pulls me aside and gives me a hug. “Thank you so much for doing that.” He says as we part.
“What? Kiss you?” I chuckle. “I wasn’t going to let a bunch of dicks taunt you for something like that. So I had to show them you’re not a faggot. I’m pretty sure anyone would do that for their friends.”
“I think you’re the only person in our group of friends that will ever have the balls to do that.” He chuckles. “Where did you learn to be so fearless?”
“My cousin.” I reply. “Ashley has taught me not to care what people think of me. No matter what, I should do what I want. You can’t just give into what people think of what you should do. There is no written script, you’ve got to write as you go. And if I want to jump on stage and kiss my friend, I’m going to fucking do it.” Andy just laughs before pulling me into another hug and kissing my temple.
“I’m glad you came by the park that day.” he mutters against my hair. “You’re really something amazing and you got kickass tattoos.” I giggle at the last part of his statement and pull away. I may have known him a few days, but I feels like I’ve known him my whole life…
