It had been about two months since CC had joined the boys, and it was now there fifth gig with him drumming. Andy had learnt pretty much everything possible and had accepted the fact that Eternity was gone; at least that's what he wanted everyone else to think. The thought of the girl still ripped his heart into smaller pieces then he thought possible. "Come on, we have a crowed out there." Ashley said, cheeky grin plastered on his face and bass hanging around his neck. The two men ran on stage, ready to entertain the sea of people in front of the.
It was almost the end and as Andy sang the last few words of Carolyn he felt a strong wave of excitement and fear pass through him, as if he was about to do something that was going to change his life. He shook it off and said goodbye to the cheering crowed, telling them there was a meet and greet in an hour. With the rest of BVB, the singer walked off the stage and took a gulp of blood he had got from a teenager that had tried to kill a young lady, Andy saw it as his good deed of the day, saving someone.
"Hey, we have some kids with backstage passes." Ashley said with a wide smile, to which Andy returned. The two men joined the rest of the band, but paused for a second to ask Jinxx and Jake where CC had gotten to, he was nowhere in sight. Everyone's thoughts of where the drummer could have gotten two where interrupted when two girls walked up to the band, one jumping with joy, the other looking down as if she wanted to be anywhere but there. Andy gave the girls a heart-warming smile despite the fact only one of them could see it. He looked down at the girl, who was watching her feet, and felt a twinge of sadness, as if he should be with her, holding her and should never let go. "I'm willow." the black hair girl said with the biggest grin ever. "And this is my friend..."
"I'm..." She slowly looked at the band, emerald eyes full of fear and glistening tears that were threatening to spill out. "Eternity." She breathed out her name, but all of BVB could hear it as clear as day. At that point CC came running up to the group of people. "Eternity's hear!" he said quickly then moved his eyes to see that very girl. Willow was completely lost at this point, not knowing what the hell was going on. "So do you know the band?" she asked in a confused tone. Slowly Eternity nodded in conformation. "I think Eternity and I should have a little chat." Andy said, keeping his eyes firmly on the blue haired girl, who was now shaking with fear. He led her away into another room where the walls where green and it was much more quiet.
There was an awkward silence, Andy just stared at Eternity. She wasn't sure if he was going to shout her or hit her, but she was almost certain it was going to be one of the two. Andy wasn't sure what he was going to do either, thousands of emotions where coursing through his system. "Why the fuck did you go?" he shouted at her, making the girl flinch. "Because I was ruining your life, I wrecked everything and you would have been better off without me."
"Didn't you get it when I said I loved you? I almost killed my friend because of you! I went out god knows how many times just to look for you! I wanted to find you, to tell you I needed you but you where just gone and I couldn't do shit about it! Do you even know what its like to have your heart ripped into shreds?"
"I'm sorry! It wasn't easy for me either!" Eternity argued back, stuttering between tears, the tears that made Andy feel so bad. "Look, I don't want a massive argument; I just want you to leave."
"What about Willow? She was so excited to meet you guys; I can't ruin it for her."
"Fine, just don't even talk to me." And with that Andy left Eternity in the room by herself. She wiped away the tears and looked into the small mirror that was put up on the wall. Her makeup was smudged and her eyes where bulged and red.
She didn't even try to fix herself and the terrible state she was in; she just leant against the wall and let her body slid down it. She put her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, creating her own imaginary safety bubble. She let silent tears stain her cheeks as she sat there, thinking about all the mistakes she had made with Andy, and how coming back was the biggest one. Her thoughts where interrupted by a sudden burst of anger and hatred that she had for herself. A cold, hoarse scream escaped Eternity's lips and she moved her head back to hit the wall behind her as hard as she could. CC came running in, sitting next to Eternity and wrapping and arm around her in comfort. She instantly felt calm and lent into her friends chest. "What's happened?" he asked her whilst stroking her long hair lovingly. "I can't ever talk to Andy again. I don't know if can manage it though."
"He told you to stay away?" There was a nod from Eternity. CC got up and began walking out of the room. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to talk to Andy."
"No, please don't!" she shouted after him but he was already gone. Eternity let out a long aggravated sigh then went back to the mirror and watched as she wiped of the last of her makeup. She rubbed her eyes in an attempt to make them look less red but fail. She hoped to hell the dim lights of the rest of the building would hide the fact she had been crying, then jogged out of the room to meet Willow and say goodbye to the rest of the band. "Hey kiddo, how's it going?" She heard jinxx's familiar voice behind her. She turned to see him smiling down at her and then hugged him tightly. "I missed you to." He said, hugging back. "Where's my hug?" Jake asked in mock hurt the sandwiched Eternity between him and his friend. Before she knew it, Ashley was attached to the group hug as well. "Dudes, I need to breath." Eternity squealed, pretending to choke. "No you don't." Jinxx pointed out and squeezed her harder. "Okay, but if I get hugged anymore I'm going to become some weird deformed mutated thing." She said, trying to wiggle her way free. The men soon realised her with smiles. Over in the corner Willow was talking to Andy and CC was waiting for their conversation to end. "So, how'd you meet Willow? She's hot." Ashley said with a cheeky smirk. "I don't even want to know what's running through your mind." She answered him. "Oh, I can totally see it." Jake said with a growing smile, then high-fiving Ashley. "Jinxx, man, tell me you see what were seeing."
"Sorry guys, I only see that stuff with Sammie." He said in defence. "Guys, there is a girl still here." Eternity pointed out, starting to feel uncomfortable with the conversation. The three men just rolled there eyes playfully.
Willow ran up to Eternity, a massive grin plastered on her face. "Come on, we better go." She said, smiling kindly at her friend. Eternity hugged jinxx, Jake and Ashley goodbye then told her friend to wait there while she said goodbye to CC. When she did find him he gave her the tightest hug he could, lifting her up to his height. "You will always be my sister and no matter what I will always be there for you." He whispered into her ear. "And you're forever my brother." He put her down and waved her goodbye. "Love you." They said to each other at the same time.
Before Eternity left she caught a glimpse of CC talking to Andy, who looked regretful. Then she and Willow walked away from the building. Eternity didn't look back; she couldn't believe what she was leaving behind. "So how do you know 'em?" Willow asked, still feeling the buzz from meeting the band. "Just some stuff, not really that important."
"So what were you and Andy talking about?"
"We just had a little argument and stuff." Eternity and Willow where best friends, so when it came to lying, it never happened. They told each other most things, as long as it didn't cross the line. "I want to know everything."
"Well then hold on tight, this is one hell of a story. I'm a vampire and I turned Andy into one as well, then we had a thing that only jinxx knew about. Then Sandra left the band and I thought it was my fault so I asked CC to help Andy learn how to use his powers and turns out he's a pretty good drummer, so he replaced Sandra." She said, looking her friend deep in the eyes. "Okay, now the truth." Willow said, not believing what she just heard. It only took a quick look at Eternity's fangs for her to believe it. "So what happened with Andy?"
"He hates me." Eternity sighed sadly. "Come on, let's go home."
