Chris was holding his coffee, looking at us confused. My cheeks go red and i dont even bother to stop my tears nor wipe them from my face. I wish it was just me and Charlie. I wish she never met him even though he is a good man.

"Are you two okay?" He pointed amoungst us and i looked back to Charlie. She looked down and a little but of tears fell. She seemed sad yet happy at the same time.

"Yeah man. We're fine." I stood up, wiping my face on my shirt and recollecting my self. My heart raced. I hope he didnt hear anything we said or saw us kiss. That would cause so much trouble.

He walked over to Charlie and sat next to her, putting his arm around her. She flinched but realized it was Chris. He was confused for a second but brushes it off. It was akward standing there while no one said a word.

Charlie stopped crying and was trying to recollect herself. "I should go..." I said before walking towards the door. I cant stand the silence and the heart ache of watching Chris comfort Charlie. I wanted that to be me.

"Andy wait..." Charlie squeaked. I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around. She looked at me with saddened eyes. "Best friends forever?" She held out her pinky. Our pinky promise from when we were kids. Even though i love her and i want to marry her, i will respect her relationship and continue to be her friend. Best friend. At least i know she loves me back.

I walk up to her and place my pinky in hers and we interlocked. She pulled it to her face and kissed her hand and i did the same. Chris gave us a weird look but i could care less. "Best friends forever." I smiled and then walked out the room.

I had no idea how i was going to get back to the festival since i took Charlies car to the hospital. I guess I'll just call my manager. He has a rental car.

I loved Andy. And when he came to the hospital to see if i was ok, my heart leeped with joy. I knew putting him on my emergency contacts would give some use. I couldnt help but cry when we talked. I loved Andy. I always have and always will. But i want to give Chris a chance. I want to show him that its not only going to be Andy in my heart.

When he left, i was left with Chris next to me, sipping his coffee. "Are you ok with being friends with him even though you two have history?" Chris asked, kind of sounding jealous. If he knew that Andy loved me, things would be worse. Even more worse if he fiund out i made out with Andy. I dont even know if he'll let me be friends with him.

"Yeah im fine. We've known each other since we were 5. He was my first friend and we made it through so much in my life. Seven years without him was a mistake." Everything I said was true. If i wouldve stayed in Black Veil Brides, Andy would probably be mine. Sure i would be as famous as i am now but i would be with my first love.

"What were you two talking about earlier? Andy was crying and i dont think bes ever cried." That was true. Andy wasnt one for crying. In all the years ive known him, ive seen him cry at most 2 times but never as hard as he did earlier. He truly did love me but it was too late. I could feel his pain. I was in the same boat as he is in now.

"Nothing." I simply said, not wanting to tell Chris. He didnt say another word. Within the next hour i was discharged from the hospital and we made our way back to the festival. By now the festival was over so we just headed home. Chris stayed the night sleeping next to me, making sure i was ok.
