Chapter Five

Two years later…

''Storm! Hurry up would yah!'' James yelled up the stairs. ''I'm sorry! I'm coming!'' I yelled back and slid down the banister smiling. I had cut my hair and dyed it a vibrant purple and obtained a whole new style and attitude. ''Ready?'' James asked me. ''as ready as I'll ever be I said and sat in the car. Today was my nineteenth birthday and we were going to a Black Veil Brides concert in the next town over. I was so excited it wasn't even funny.

We blasted Rebel Love Song as we drove and I was so happy that I was actually laughing. Something that I hadn't done in a while. I hadn't heard from Andy in like forever but hey, he had a band that he was working on and look where he is now. I had on a Black Veil Brides hoodie on over a purple t-shirt, black jeans, and lime green convers with my black eyeliner making my green eyes glow a little since it was so cloudy outside.

An hour later we were practically racing each other to the line to get in. I had gotten into the fan club online and gotten us some backstage tickets so we could hang out a little before the concert actually started. ''Let's see…. Ah here we are, Stormy and James Parker is it?'' The security guard asked. We both nodded and she smiled opening the gate and letting us run through before closing it again and going back to the line of people.

''Do they know you're here?'' James asked. ''They shouldn't, I bought the passes and tickets under your name'' I said. ''nice surprise'' he said. I nodded and stopped in my tracks. ''What?'' He asked. I swallowed and pointed to where I was looking.

There the band stood dressed in their usual leather and black make-up. And Andy, with his arm around a blonde girl's shoulders. She had my same hoodie and some orange jeans on with blue convers. I wasn't going to assume the worst but this was a bad picture for me. ''Maybe it's not what you think it is, he would never do that to you come on'' James said taking my hand and dragging me over to the group. I jumped and pounced on C.C. surprised I still could. He'd gotten massive tall. ''Is the impossible happening already?'' He asked. I giggled and got off him. It was sort of our code. An inside joke if you will. ''I'm not the head of a goldfish and shark army yet so sorry no'' I said. He laughed and hugged me tightly as did the others. It felt good to be around them again. It's like not being able to see your family because that's what they were to me.

Andy walked passed them and right up to me. He reached out and touched my hair and my lips like he was checking to see if I was real. I smiled and held his hand to my cheek. ''Hey superstar'' I said. He looked into my eyes and then… just walked away. I stood there frozen in my place as tears fogged my vision. ''Andy! Come back!'' The blonde girl shouted and ran after him. ''that's Andy's cousin Amber she was having problems at home so she came on the road with us'' Jinx explained. ''hey, don't cry Storm Cloud, he's probably just a little shocked, I'm sure he'll calm down soon enough'' Ashley said. I looked down and shook my head. ''I just want to be alone for now, I'll see you guys for the concert'' I said giving them all hugs before walking off.

About twenty minutes later I got lost and just to make it worse it started raining completely drenching me. ''Great, just great! As if my day couldn't get any worse'' I sat on the steps of a random tour bus and put my head in my crossed on my knees and sobbing. I squeaked as the door to the bus opened and hit my back. I quickly hopped off the step and stood a few feet away. ''I'm sorry, didn't mean to get in your way'' I said rubbing my eyes and moving a chunk of my wet hair from my face.

''Now I'm sure it's really you, only the Stormy I know would apologize for something that wasn't her fault and was a complete accident'' He said. I looked up and he smiled wiping the tears off my cheeks and pulling me closer and into a hug. I sniffed and hugged him tightly back. ''Why did you walk away from me Andy?'' I asked. ''I wasn't sure that it was really you and I didn't want to do anything in case it wasn't you, but you've proven to me that it is you and now I'm just happy to have you in my arms again'' He said. "Can I ask you something?'' I said pulling back and looking into his blue eyes. He nodded without hesitation. ''Kiss me in the rain'' I said.
