We were sat in the bus; Me, CC, Jinxx, Ashley, Jake, Sammi Doll and Andy. We always had a laugh. Sammi was in Jinxx's lap. You must be wondering why I am here? Well, I was Sammi's best friend, she knew I was a huge fan of Black Veil Brides. Sammi asked the guys if I could go on tour with them - they said yes. They welcomed me with open arms of course; each one of them giving me a hug as I stepped aboard the big tour bus. Now, 3 months in to the tour: we were all the best of friends. Including Matt Good who dropped in every now and again. Me and Andy were getting closer by the minute; we had so much in common. And one night, that night, changed me…
"Demi…" Andy whispered. I jerked awake to see Andy's bright blue eyes staring at mine. I sat up "What is it?.." I whispered back.
" I need to tell you something" He whispered again, planting himself next to me.
"What?" I asked, quietly. I had no idea what he was about to say. I thought it would be something silly, as usual. All of a sudden, he wrapped his skinny arms around me. My head was against his chest; I could hear his heart racing. I was in shock.
"I've been holding this back a while…" He managed to gasp out.
"I see…" I responded as I put my arms around his waist. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever. He suddenly let go. "What were you going to say?" I asked.
"Doesn't matter" He quickly responded as he climbed out of my bunk "Goodnight".
"Night" I said back.
The next morning, I went to Andy's bunk to ask about last night; He wasn't there. I hadn't forgotten about last night.
"Looking for Andy?" Ashley said from behind me. I gasped in shock.
"Oh, yeah…" I trailed off.
"He went out hours ago" Ashley replied. I looked at my iPod, 8:03am it told me.
"Do you know where he went?" I asked after a moment of silence.
"Nope, he never tells me" Ashley sighed. "See ya later"
"Bye" I replied. I decided to go look for Andy "He can't have gone far…" I thought to my self. I walked out the bus; The sun was just behind the clouds. There was a chill in the air. I began to walk out in to the street, it reminded me of home. "DEMI!" I heard some one shout. I immediately turned round - Jinxx and Sammi were sat at a table near a café. "Hey…Do you know where Andy's gone?" I began. Jinxx and Sammi started whispering, I didn't question why.
"Actually…" Sammi started to say "I saw him pass here not long ago, I asked him where he was headed and he replied "I dunno." He seemed a bit upset and angry, then I let him go"
"Yeah, he wasn't himself, you know?" Jinxx added.
"Do you know where he went?" I questioned after a long period of silence.
"That way" Jinxx said whilst pointing towards a little alley way.
"Ok thanks" I replied.
"Bye!" The couple said in unison. I gave them a little wave as I made my way to the alley Jinxx had indicated. It was a surprisingly clean alley, everything was swept away. The end of the alley led to a small garden - there I found him; he sat with his back facing me. I could see a trail of white falling from his ears - he had his iPod on. "Andy?…" I started. No response. I didn't want to scare him. I tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped as I had expected. He yanked his earphones from his ears. "Demi…" he said quietly.
"I've been looking for you" I spoke.
"Really? Sorry…" Andy's head dropped.
"It's ok!" I said to him reassuringly.
"No, it's not" Andy said to me firmly. "I'm a coward, why should I have to run away from you to hide my true feelings…"
"What do you mean?" I said as I placed a hand on his shoulder. "I don't think you're a coward."
"Well, you should. I help all these kids to stay strong and be themselves, to not hide their true feelings-" Andy said through gritted teeth.
"Andy, you have helped countless kids. I see it all the time. Remember when I told you about that girl? She came up to me and said "Tell Andy he saved my life. I would have committed suicide if it wasn't for Black Veil Brides." Remember?" I was getting frustrated.
"Fuck." Was Andy's response.
"Yeah, 'Fuck'" I spoke in reply.
He got up. "Hey! Wait!" I pulled his slender arm.
"What?…." He looked at me drearily.
"Remember last night? I've been curious as to what you were going to say to me." I said shyly.
"Uhhh…" He knew I wasn't going to let it go. I stayed quiet, I wanted to let him speak. "It's just… We're best friends, right?" I became confused. Why would he ask that? He sighed in defeat. "You've got me…".
"Andy, just spit it out." I nearly whispered.
"But-"
"ANDY. JUST SAY IT!"
"I LOVE YOU, GODDAMN IT!" He looked away. I had nothing to say. This was the last thing on my mind. All of a sudden, I felt my face change from a look of confusion to a look of slight happiness. Everything was silent, Andy had his back to me. I could hear his heavy breathing amongst the silence. He loved me. No, no way. Suddenly I realised, I loved him too. It had always been there, right deep inside of me. I grabbed him from behind, pulling him in to a hug. I felt his hands on mine. "I love you too, I guess…" I whispered back.
