Chapter 10

*Andy POV*

We all got out of the van and headed into a little local diner. Caitlin had said she had found this place one time when she was looking around, trying to discover new things about London- her new hometown.

"This is a really cute place", Maddy mumbled as we entered the small diner. She subconciously, yet lazily, ran her fingers over her undercut, drawing attention to the shiny piercings she had on her ears. Maybe I should get another piecing sometime... Maybe my nose?

"I know right!" Lily whisper-yelled from beside CC. She clapped her hands together silently and did a little jump, her large gothic boots hitting of the tiled floor. "Lets get a seat!" She reached out and grabbed CC's arm with one hand and Caitlin's arm with another. Lily's victims gasped as she ran over to a large booth with them.

I laughed and looked down towards Amy. "That girl is the most extreamly hyper person Ive ever been around. And Ive lived with CC on a bus, so thats saying something."

Amy laughed a little from beside me, but it seemed forced. "Lily is the definition of hyper." She gave me a quick smile that didnt touch her beautiful eyes and then walked off towards the booth.

I sighed and the next thing I knew, a toned, tattooed arm was over my shoulder. My head turned, my eyes landing on the painted fingernails.

"Dont worry dude, if its meant to be then it will be."

I turned my head the other way to see Ash. His eyes were soft, his smile warm. He isnt always a perv, sometimes he is an awesoem guy to have as your friend.

Another sigh escaped my pierced lips. "I guess." I started to bite my lip ring while looking over towards the booth, my eyes staying glued to Amy. My hand patted my back pocket yet again. Today was the day I would giver her her now late birthday present.

After recieving a bro-hug from Ash, followed by him running away from me and towards Ruby, I headed towards the now nearly full booth.

Everyone ordered different foods and it didnt take long for it all to be placed on our table by an elderly woman. She seemed really nice, something about her reminded me of my grandmother. Her wrinkled face smiled at each of us before she limped off back to the counter. I felt bad for her working here, she clearly needed to be taken care of, not working in a damn diner.

"This food is so fucking good!" CC yelled as he shovled another forkfull of food into his mouth large, open mouth.

A chorus of laughter echoed through the mostly empty diner followed by the sound of a phone ringing.

"Fuck", Jake mumbled. "Dont hang up, dont hang up..." His back arched against the seat as he dug his hands deep into the pocket of his skinny jeans. The phone continued to ring as he continued to dig for it. Just as he pulled the tiny machine from his pocket, the constant ringing stopped.

"I guess they hung up", CC stated. He looked so serious as he filled his mouth with another load of food.

We all burst into laughter at CC stating the obvious as Jake gave him a look of death.

"Really? Ya think?" Jake said sarcasticly to CC, moving his head in a dramatic motion that made his hair flip around. He rolled his dark eyes while unlocking his phone.

"Yep", CC replied, unphased by Jake's sarcasm. These boys are so fucking fun to be in a band with.

"Who are you so desperate to talk to that you chant at your phone, anyways?" Maddy asked, picking at some food on her plate. She didnt seem fully interested, if anything she seemed a little tired.

Jake's gaze flickered from Maddy's eyes back to his phone. I could see his eyelashes moving, a sign that he was blinking quite a bit while not looking directly at us. A slight layer of pink covered his make up-less cheeks. Was he blushing?

"Jake's talking to a girl!" I shouted. He totaly was. His blush gave it away. I pushed my fringe out of my eyes and pointed a finger at him, making him blush more. Watching a full grown man blush is quite hilarious, especialy when its over a girl.

Jake sighed and threw his head back agains the back of the seat. "Okay, yeah. Im talking to a girl." His head flew forward and he sighed again.

To be fair, his reaction is expected. Whenever someone in Black Veil Brides has a crush or gets a girlfriend, the other member take it upon themselves to make it as awkward for the couple as possible. Ash was the worst for teasing people, what with all his perverted comments. Amy and I- when we were a couple- were not subjected to too much of the teasing as Im Andy fucking Biersack. I would have kicked their ass. Jake knew this shit was cmoing his way, though.

"So, Jakey", Ash said in a mockingly sweet tone. "Who have you been sexting?" He pulled his arm away from a giggling Ruby to rest both his elbows on the table. His hands held his chin up while he batted his eyelashes in a girly way.

Jake rolled his eyes and glared at Ashley. After the mini stare-off, he looked down to his phone and mumbled something.

"What was that, dear?" Ash continued in a girly voice.

I snickered. Ash is going to get punched by one of us these days.

"Ella!" Jake shouted a little too loud, causing Amy and Caitlin to jump a little.

"Dude, dont scare the girls", I said only half joking. It made my heart ache to see Amy scared, even over something as minor as this. Plus, Caitlin looked like a puppy that had just been kicked.

Amy turned and raised her eyebrow at me. "The girls arnt scared, Andrew", she laughed. Her laugh is amazing, but it still didnt hide the sadness in her eyes. She turned to Jake and with a slightly confused expression and said, "wait, Ella as in my old friend Ella?"

My blue eyes shot over to Jake. Ella from Amy's 'Welcome Home From Tour' party? That was fucking ages ago, had he been smitten for this long? Smitten? I mentaly slapped myself for losing so much of my masculinaty from that one word.

"Yeah, we kept in contact. She is a really cool girl", Jake stated, blushing uncomtrolably.

"AWWW!" Lily yelled. Her voice made me jump a little as she had been unusualy quiet.

Jake continued to redden in skin colour until the topic of conversation was no longer his love life. I bet he was please about that.

We all talked some more until everyone had finished their food. Everyone's plates were clear- some of that was because of CC eating alot of leftovers- so we decided to go do something else to kill off the day.

"Any ideas?" Caitlin said to us all. We were stood outside the diner in the English weather, but her nose ring and snakebites still managed to shine a little.

Maddy yawned loudly, suddenly. "I might just head home and sleep. Im so fucking tired." Her pale hands rubbed at her dark eyes, smearing her eyeliner a little. She didnt seem to give a fuck.

"You okay, Maddy?" Caitlin asked, her voice full of concern. She stepped over to Maddy and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Maddy blinked a few times before she answered a very motherly Caitlin. "Yeah Im fine, just shouldnt have stayed up late drinking Monster drinks." She gave another yawn.

Caitlin gave Maddy a concerned look, she really was the 'carer' of their little group. "Guys, we should take Maddy home. She's going to drop any second."

"You guys can go, Im gonna hang out round here for a while", Amy spoke up. Her eyes were still full of sadness. What was wrong?

Caitlin and Maddy were already walking over to the van, Jinxx and Jake in tow in case Maddy dropped to the floor from tiredness.

"You sure you dont want to come with?" Ash asked Amy, taking a hand away from Ruby's waist to run it through his styled hair.

"Yeah, I want to have a little walk. Il meet you guys back at mine later. Ruby has her own key now consideing she practicaly lives with me." She gave a small smile at Ash and Ruby as she playfuly moaned.

I frowned. There was so much sadness in those perfect eyes yet she still tries her best to hide it and be a happy person. Amy has deamons and I have a feeling that theres more that just the one Ruby told me about.

"Okay, we will see you later then. Be safe", Ruby said as she turned with Ash towards the van.

CC ran towards Amy and hugged her tightly, his leather jacket pulling around his skinny frame in protest as he locked his arms around her. "Bye!" And just like that, he was gone, already running in front of Ashley and Ruby. The hyper little nutcase.

Lily ran after CC wordlessly, a huge smile on her face being the only indication that she was having fun. How the fuck she could run in those boots, Il never know

I tuned mey tall body towards Amy and said, "and then there were two." My lips pulled into a smile at the thought of being alone with her. Finaly, I might be able to give her the gift.

Her perfect eyebrows pulled together. "Arnt you going with them?" She asked. Her voice was so soft and sweet, I melted just as I did everyday when we were together. She still effects me so much.

I shook my head at her, my long hair flying around my face. "Id rather hang out with you."

Her small, white teeth dug into her bottom lip suddenly and it made me want to kiss her so badly. She contined to bite her lip while thinking deepy about something, the sadness in her eyes seizing then returning.

"Come on then", she said quitely just as she turned on her heel and headed down the path.

It took me a few seconds to gather her fast movements, and I jogged after her little body. The pavement in England fucking sucks, Ive tripped on so many god damn cracks that it is no longer funny.

"So, where are we going?" I asked. My deep voice sounded breezy, thats good.

My large hand patted my back pocket again, but this time I slipped my finger in, brushing it along Amy's present. I felt a sudden prick on my finger and a little gasp escaped my mouth at the sudden feel of it. My finger quickly pulled out of my pocket and I saw I had recived a paper cut. Fucking bastard.

"Not sure. You okay?"

I looked away from my slightly bleeding finger and into the beautiful eyes of my ex-soon-to-be-girlfriend-again. "Yeah, just a paper cut."

She gave me an incredulous look. "Andy Biersack- the Andy Biersack who broke his nose and shattered his ribs- cant cope with a little paper cut?" Amy's face lit up with a smile and I was glad to see that it finaly touched her eyes.

I couldnt hide my own smile. "Paper cuts are bitches."

Amy gave a small giggle and it was the most beautiful thing Ive heard in ages. I needed this woman to be mine so badly. I needed her as a perminant fixture in my life. She meant everything to me and each day I go on without her breaks my shattered heart even more.

"Amy", even her name felt good on my lips.

I pulled at her elbow to make her stop walking. Her small body twisted round to me and I pulled her even closer. Shes so small that she had to push her head right back and I had to lean forward.

"Amy, I have something for you", I said, my voice full of emotion, as I reached back into my back pocket. My jeans were tight and clinging to my skin- yes, they even cling to my ass- but I managed to pull the item out easily.

"Andy, I-"

"Please, listen", I interrupted her. She needed to hear this and I have been waiting too long to give her this. "I wanted to give you this on your birthday but that went to fuck, so..." I trailed off, bringing the item from behind me to infront of us both.

Amy looked down to the clump of white in my hands, a confused look on her face. She stayed silent, as I had asked.

"I put everything I have into this and I want you back so bad. You are my everything, Amy." My deep voice started to shake with the tears I was holding back. Dont cry in front of her, man! Not cool, the voice in my head shouted. I gave a small cough and inhaled deeply.

Amy was looking up to me, her eyes shining with hidden tears. Was she remembering our break-up?

I coughed again and continued. "Amy, you left me for a good reason but the reason was all wrong. Id never cheat on you, you mean too much too me. I will never walk away from you, Amy. Id be a fool to ever leave you. All I want is for you to tear down all those walls and let me in, talk to me. Ive wanted to talk to you for months now but I never got the chance. So, here", I held out her late birthday present.

Amy's large, dark eyes trailed down my face and to my extended hand.

"Take it", I said pushing it towards her.

She meekly took it from my hands and held it in her own, twisting it around and around. Her eyes were glued to it as she opened it up and flattened it out between her fingertips.

"All the words I wanted to say, all the emotions I felt, they are all there. Happy late birthday Amy."

I got so hyped up writing this. I was wondering if I shoud have written what the gift was in this chapter but 'cause Im evil I though Id put it in the next one insted. Keep guessing what it is, my friends ;)

Sorry it took me longer to update, I got caught up reading 50 Shades Of Grey and I gotta say that book is good. Filth, but good haha.

Keep reading and commenting little Inspirers! :)
