Chapter Ten
I woke up at four in the morning and couldn't even get back to sleep. My thoughts were still on Alex and it was beginning to piss me off now. I knew that I had to forget him and move on but it was impossible to even think about not knowing Alex. I would keep trying until he talked to me again. I stumbled over to my laptop and opened the word document that contained my novel and I got to work on it. Every time I was writing time seemed to slip away from me. It was amazing how surreal it was but at least it mean I could call Andy and see if he was ok. When it got to around eight in the morning I picked up my phone and dialled his number.
"Hello?" He answered. His voice sounded slightly husky and it made me want to make him feel better.
"How are you feeling?" I asked in a sweet voice. I knew that Andy would know who I was when I said that sentence.
"I'm fine. Do you want to come down to the hotel?" Andy asked.
"Sure, just give me the address" I said. Andy told me where he was so I got ready and headed out to my car. I pressed play and 'Ryan' by eyes set to kill came blaring out of the speakers. This song always made me sad so I was surprised that I could feel tears stinging my eyes. It made me think about Andy and how crushed I would be if he was gone. I stepped on the gas so I could see him quicker. When I reached the hotel I went straight to the front desk. The woman looked up from her computer and smiled at me.
"Can I help you?" She asked in a sweet voice that was obviously fake.
"Can you give me the room number for Andy Six?" I asked. The woman looked like she was about to burst out laughing at me.
"That's classified" She said in a now serious tone. I was beginning to get impatient and was tapping my foot on the floor.
"I'm his girlfriend" I sighed. She now glared at me and attempted to shoo me away but I wouldn't budge which just made her mad.
"A likely story" She scoffed.
"Call him then" I demanded. The woman stopped trying to get me to leave and called Andy. I head muttering and then apologies. She turned to look at me and smiled sheepishly.
"He's on the third floor in room nine" She answered. I rolled my eyes at her and went up the stairs. I walked down the corridor and knocked on the door that led to room nine. Jinxx answered it and smiled at me. When I went in I saw a girl sitting on the sofa with blonde hair with bits of black in it. She smiled warmly at me and I smiled back. There was something about her that just seemed genuine and I liked it.
"Hi, I'm Sammi" She introduced. She held her hand out to get me to shake it.
"I'm Skye" I greeted as I shook her hand. Sammi nodded at me and carried on smiling which was what I liked. She seemed so cheerful and perky.
"You're Andy's girlfriend aren't you?" She asked. I nodded and I realised how nervous I must look.
"Can I just ask who you are?" I asked. Sammi's smile still hadn't faltered at all and it made me feel more relaxed.
"I'm a photographer, I'm in the band My Satellite and I'm Jinxx's girlfriend" She answered. I nodded thoughtfully and then my eyes went wide.
"I've heard My Satellite, you're awesome" I gasped. Sammi's smile got wider, if that was even possible. My Satellite was a band that I had just started listening to and already they were helping me get over bad times and most of it was thanks to Sammi.
"Thanks, it's always nice to meet a new fan of ours" Sammi laughed. I smiled again just as Andy walked through the door. When he saw me he grinned and took his place next to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me slightly closer.
"How are you feeling?" I asked even though I had already asked it and got an answer.
"I'm ok now" Andy laughed at my worry over him. I grinned as he pecked my lips ever so slightly with his own. When I next turned around Sammi was on her phone and Jinxx was writing something down and it looked important. It felt awkward to be in a room where you don't really know the people that well in it. I know Andy well and I feel totally comfortable around him and Sammi seems very easy going. It's Jinxx that I'm worried about.
"Are you excited for your, Jinxx?" I asked. He looked up from the papers and tried to smile but I could tell that he was a little sad because of something and I had a pretty good idea of what it was.
"Yeah but I'll miss my Sammi" He sighed as he leaned over and let his hand rest on hers. She smiled warmly back at him and I could tell that she was putting up a good front. I nodded and leaned back in my seat while Andy started flicking through the channels on the television and I tried to forget how sad I was feeling right now. Andy was leaving soon and Alex wouldn't talk to me so I would be all alone again. I had forgotten how amazing it felt to have friends and people who care about you. I pulled my Ipod out and pressed play and 'Broken Frames' played by eyes set to kill. I was definitely in an eyes set to kill mood today. All of their songs managed to play with my emotions and it made me think about Andy leaving. I never get attached to people like this and I was beginning to hate myself for it but I don't control my feelings. I felt someone's hand tug at my own and when I looked up I saw Sammi's face smiling down at me. She tugged at my hand again so I stood up and followed her out of the room.
"Are you ok?" She asked. She was amazing at knowing how people feel inside since I thought I was hiding my sorrow well but apparently not.
"How do you manage to be away from them for so long?" I asked as I let a tear slide down my cheek. This was the first tear I shed over Andy leaving and I hated it. Sammi gave me a weak smile and took my hand in her own.
"You make friends and they keep you busy" Sammi reassured but she didn't know what it would end up being like for me.
"I don't have any other friends" I admitted as I looked down at the floor, ashamed. I didn't want to be known as the person who has no friends. Sammi shook my hand a little bit so that I looked up at her and she was smiling still.
"You can hang out with me if you want" Sammi offered. I was surprised that my jaw didn't hit the floor. As soon as I had walked through that door and started talking to her I realised that she was a nice person but I didn't expect her to be that nice to me.
"Thank you so much" I sighed as I hugged her. I hadn't realised what she was doing but when she pulled away she had my phone and was putting her number in.
"If you want to talk to anyone then just call me" She said as she handed my phone back to me.
"How did you get that?" I asked as she grinned at me.
"I have my ways" She laughed before she opened the door so we could get back into the hotel room. When we entered Andy was still sitting on the chair but when I came into view he shot me a confused look. I went over to him and sat beside him.
"I think I'm going to be ok when you go on tour" I sighed and Andy nodded knowingly. It was obvious that he knew that Sammi was the one that always gave good advice to people and made them feel better.
The rest of the day went pretty fast and I learnt more about Sammi and Jinxx than I thought was possible. They also made the cutest couple in the world and I was beginning to hope that Andy and I would look like that a few years down the line. I hoped to God that we made it that far. I was in the middle of attempting to guess how many stars this hotel had. I settled with four when I saw the beds. You can always tell by the beds. It was getting on for ten at night so I stood up. Andy followed my exact movements and I knew that he knew what I was doing. When we got to the door we stopped so Jinxx and Sammi couldn't see us. He leaned down to me and pressed his lips firmly on mine. It took all my power to not fall over because he was practically making me swoon. When he pulled away from me I was so tempted to pull him back down to me but I managed to stay under control.
"I love you" He whispered in my ear as he nipped it gently with his teeth. I clung onto him as though I was afraid to let him go as I buried my head into his jacket.
"I love you too" I mumbled into it. He rubbed my back and I managed to back away from him a little bit. He pecked me one last time before I turned around and left the hotel room. I walked down the hallway and over to the stairs where I thundered down them and out to the lobby. The woman who I had been speaking to had been replaced by a young man at the front desk. As soon as he saw me he leaned forward with a seductive smile planted on his face.
"Hey sweetie" He greeted. I walked towards the desk with a hard glare on my face. He didn't seem to notice that I was angry.
"I have a boyfriend" I spat. He still didn't look bothered which made me feel even more disgusted with him.
"So?" He asked I couldn't help but swing my hand back and make it connect with his face. He was a dirty little pervert who wasn't fit to lick my boots. I stormed out of the hotel and made my way back to the block of flats that was my home. After about ten minutes of walking the flats finally came into view. I wandered in and got my usual wave from the caretaker who always seemed to be mopping the floor. I waved back and ran up the stairs two at a time. It took about five minutes for me to be unlocking my flat door and as soon as I entered I was hit by the crap room. I hated it so much but I had nothing else. I walked over to the bathroom and had a quick shower. I couldn't be bothered with washing my hair so I just left it and put on a hoodie and black leggings for bed. I lay down under the covers as I looked through my phone and read the texts.
If you ever need to talk about anything then just text or call me
-Sammi
I'll see you tomorrow
-A6
I smiled when I saw both texts as I realised that I would have people who cared for me no matter where they were. I wouldn't be alone as long as I had Andy, Sammi and Jake. Just as I was about to put my phone down it rang again. I took a look at it to see that Jinxx was texting me.
We need to do something before I leave for tour
-Jinxx
My smile grew wider when I read that last text. I didn't think Jinxx really liked me but we must be ok friends if he wanted to hang out with me one day. I was doing something with Andy tomorrow but I knew what day I would be free.
Come round the day after tomorrow and we can do something then
-SkyeG
I put my phone down on the cabinet that was right next to my bed and leaned back again. I was feeling more tired as the minutes went on. All I could think about was how nice Sammi and Jinxx were and how unexpected it was for Jinxx to want to do something with me. I turned over on my side and shut my eyes. I soon fell into a much needed sleep.
