Chapter Seven

When I woke up I felt slightly lonely as I thought about what Andy had revealed to me. I was glad that he would be living the dream again but it would be difficult to say goodbye to him and especially now that I don't even have Alex to help me. Every time I thought about Alex I felt a stabbing sensation in my chest. I had never thought that losing a friend would be so difficult to get over. I could feel my legs shaking as I walked as I could barely afford the luxury of warmth so I silently suffered instead. I wrapped my quilt cover around me as I went into the living room and sat on the sofa. I couldn't be bothered with my day if I knew that it was going to remain friendless and soon to be boyfriendless. I pulled my laptop over to me and opened the file that was my future, my novel. It was the perfect escape for me if things got a little bit too much for me. I could relive my own life but if I didn't want to be dragged down then no one could do that to me.

The only sound that filled the room was the noise that my fingers made as they danced across the keyboard on my laptop. I was engrossed in what I was writing and I knew that nothing could pull me out of this creative mood until the chapter was finished. I wanted this chapter end to be a cliff hanger. When I was almost done I took a moment to read over what I had done to find that it seemed very depressing and I knew that it was reflecting my own mood. I hadn't had much depression in it since I had been incredibly happy since I had met Andy. When I had finished the chapter I took a look at the clock to find that it was only eight in the morning. I knew that I must have woken up early so I stood up again and decided to stop being so depressing and get dressed. It may have been boring if I hadn't put my Ipod on the docking station. I played Avenged Sevenfold and I am not ashamed to say that I was dancing ever so slightly. I pulled on a black tee and skinny jeans. It was still cold so I rummaged around to find my beloved Black Veil Brides hoodie. As soon as the material touched my skin I felt its warmth wash over me as though it was trying to cleanse me. I practically sauntered over to the bathroom as I reached for my toothbrush and began to clean my teeth. I couldn't believe how quick my mood had changed this morning. I had gone from depressing to dancing whilst I was getting ready. When I was just about to sit back down I heard a knock at the door. I practically sprinted to see who wanted to see me. I looked through the peep hole and saw a man with eyeliner, black hair and wonderfully blue eyes. It was my boyfriend who I would only have two weeks left with. That was wrong straight away. I only had a week and six days. I pulled the door handle down and opened it. His head snapped up and he smiled brightly at me. He took a step forward and I instantly felt his lips on my cheek. I could feel a grin spreading and I instantly told myself off. I had always told people off for being so ridiculous as to get all giggly when they're with a guy that they like.

"Good morning" Andy greeted. The blush was now forming on my cheeks and I was getting ready to punch myself in the face.

"Hi, so what brought you here?" I asked. I knew that I probably sounded pushy but I also knew that Andy would understand that I wasn't being pushy with him at all, I was merely interested.

"Since I'm going to be leaving for tour soon then I want to spend as much time as I possibly can with you" Andy explained. I instantly took his hand and pulled him over to the couch where I sat him down. I could see his smile and it was contagious. His arm wrapped around me and rested lightly on my stomach. It sent those fluttery feelings through me but I managed to ignore them but it still felt nice. Andy's head rested on mine as I faced his chest. I let my own hand draw patterns on his arm. He wasn't wearing any of his leather and his makeup was turned down considerably and I guessed that he was trying to keep a low profile.

"Will you miss me?" I asked as I put on a fake sweet voice. Andy chuckled lightly and it was so deep that it almost made me shiver. Almost being the operative word.

"You have no idea" Andy sighed as he turned completely serious again. I looked up at him and smiled weakly.

"I think I do" I retorted. Andy smiled again and let his own lips linger on mine. It was one of those kisses where you literally pout into it.

"It sucks that I have to leave you for a while but I have to" Andy said. I nodded as I completely understood. If he said he was going to give up being in a band then I would break up with him. It wouldn't be because I wouldn't like him anymore. It would be because I would feel awful for depriving him of what he loves to do.

"I love you" I laughed as I pulled him closer to me as he deepened our kiss. It was so natural and it burned any worry of anything away. I was beginning to think that I live for these kisses. I could feel his hand move from my stomach as he moved me from where I was sitting. He was now sitting up with me next to him and his hand was behind my neck as he supported it. I felt so comfortable with him that it almost felt surreal. I pulled on his hair slightly and it made me think of 'situations' by escape the fate. He pulled away slightly as he looked at what my hoodie said. I smile played at his lips.

"So you're supporting us" He chuckled. I looked down at my hoodie as though I didn't know what he meant. It took me a while to realise it and I chuckled along with him. He shook his head and went straight back to kissing me. It was nice to just be with him and be able to forget about any fan girls or Alex. As soon as I thought his name I pulled away from Andy and looked down.

"I need to get Alex back so I can explain everything to him" I admitted as I took notice of Andy's questioning gaze. He didn't seem angry like I thought he might be but instead he was nodding knowingly. He looked up and I could tell that he was thinking about what we could do to get Alex to come back. I was beginning to wish that I had never invited him to come stay with me for the weekend at that time. I was really wishing that I had figured out his feelings for me a little bit quicker so I could have nipped it in the bud but we all have to pay for our mistakes and this one was mine.

Andy finally turned back to me and was smiling and I knew that he had thought of something that could work.

"You just need to be brave and call him and try and persuade him to come back so you can explain everything to him" Andy said. That was the bright idea? I had thought about doing that so much but the only flaw with that plan was that I wasn't brave and I didn't know what to say to him. I was scared of rejection. I wouldn't know what to do if he was never to be my friend again but if I didn't do anything then we would never speak again.

"I can't do it" I sighed and Andy looked slightly disappointed in me. I didn't want him to ever feel any disappointment towards me. That would break my heart.

"Our music is about confidence so please do this so I can say that we've helped you in some way" Andy pleaded. He had gotten me there. I had always said that there music could help people so it should help me. I thought about it for quite some time until I finally nodded. A smile broke out onto Andy's face and I immediately felt good for my decision. He stood up from the sofa and walked over to the desk where my phone lay and he handed it to me. I took it off him and took a deep breath I scrolled through my contact list. When I reached Alex's number I stopped for a moment to stare at it as I thought about what to say. When I looked up Andy was staring at me expectantly. I sighed and pressed the call button and pressed it to my ear. The phone rang three times until Alex picked up. When he answered I had a feeling that he hadn't looked at the caller ID.

"Hello?" He said and I felt a lump in my throat at hearing his voice. I stuttered slightly at first but I managed to get my sentence out but it was only because Andy was holding my hand to try and make me feel better.

"Alex, it's Skye" I informed and I could hear his breath hitch. He returned to normal and I could just tell that he was angry at me.

"What do you want?" He asked with a harsh tone touching his words. I could have cried since it was nothing like the Alex that I know and love. I swallowed once and continued with talking.

"You need to come back down here so we can talk" I explained. I heard a slightly noise in the background and it sounded like someone laughing. I was confused for a moment or two until I realised that it was his bitch of a sister. She had always hated me for some unknown reason but I felt the same way so I couldn't complain.

"I can't" Alex sighed and I felt like reaching down the phone and pulling him back to my end but instead I stayed calm.

"Alex, please" I begged. The laughter hadn't stopped and it was putting me off my aim for this phone call. "Shut up Kayleigh!"

I heard footsteps in the background and I knew the phone had been taken off Alex and my guess was that it was in Kayleigh's hands. My fear was confirmed.

"Skye, fuck off and die" She growled.

"Kayleigh, would you piss off" Alex shouted as he grabbed the phone back off Kayleigh and I knew that he had pushed her out of that room and locked the door.

"She is getting bitchier by the minute" I joked and I could hear a chuckle emit from Alex.

"I'm sorry about her" Alex apologised and I was beginning to miss hearing his kind voice in person.

"Will you come back up here?" I asked. There was a pause and I knew what the answer would end up being.

"Andy will be there" Alex said and I could tell that he was still jealous and annoyed with him for moving in on me.

"Andy is going on tour in a week and six days so will you please come see me?" I asked. There was another pause and I winced as I thought about what he might end up saying to me in anger.

"No now goodbye" He said and then he hung up. I let the first tear fall as I dropped my phone onto the coffee table. Andy's arm slid around me and he pulled me onto his chest which was something that I would have been thankful for but now I couldn't even register anything. The rejection that I was scared off had now faced me in reality. I was frozen and I didn't even think that Andy's touch could break it.

"You'll be ok" Andy soothed as he rubbed my arm in a comforting way and it wasn't even doing anything. I let another tear fall as I held onto Andy's shirt for dear life.

"There's food in the fridge if you want anything" I finally said. I didn't want Andy to go hungry while he was on a visit to see me.

"Just go to sleep for a little while" Andy whispered in my ear. I closed my eyes and thought about the pain that Alex had just put me through.
