3 nights ago, i drunkly made out with Andy in a bar that Chris happened to be at. The next morning i couldnt get the courage to tell him. The next few days after that we all hung out like old times, just like high school. We played music and watched a lot of movies. We even walked down hollywood boulevard. I saw beautiful California sunsets on the beach and so many people living thier lives. It was just like i imagined California to be. All my dreams of going to L.A. finally came true. I never wanted to leave this place. And being here with the boys made it so much better. This is the place we all wanted to move to once the band picked up. And here they are now, living up to their dreams.

Sadly my dream came to end. It was time to go home, back to Pennsylvania and face Chris. Andy rubbed my shoulders and gave me a big hug. CC handed me my bag and gave me a hug as well.

"You'll do fine. Just tell him the truth and we will always be here for you." CC reassured me, giving me another hug. I smiled. All the other boys gave me a hug and made sure i was going to be ok. It feels like i was leaving them all over again. I couldnt help but let a little tear fall. Its not like i was leaving them all for good. I'll see them again. After all, I finally was with Andy after all these years. These past 2 days felt amazing and i had so much fun.

Over the intercom i could hear them call my flight number, saying we were boarding. I gave them all one last wave. Andy gave me one last hug as he leaned down and gave me a kiss. "Dont be gone to long now ok?" I smiled and nodded before running off to my plane. I'll be back L.A. The dream isn't over yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once the plane landed i met up with Alice, who drove me home. The whole way there i talked about about all the things i did with the boys and all the gossip with me and Andy. All my excitement came to a crash as she pulled up to my house. Chris's car was pulled into the driveway and i could see some people inside through the window. Instantly my heart raced. I wasnt ready to be faced with reality and having to talk to Chris.

I dont remember getting out the car and getting my bag. I dont remember walking up to the door. All i know is i was standing outside, not wanting to go in. Alice swings the door open and my heart dropped as Chris came over to me and hugged me. I played it off and tried to pretend that i was fine.

"Ive missed you. You guys must have been writing so much." I nodded my head as Chris gave me another hug before directing me to the couch. Alice sits across from me and Chris and she looks down. She didnt know what to say either.

"So the boys want to go out tonight and was wondering if you wanted to come too." Chris said and i nodded. I cant tell him now.

"Sure. Sounds fun. Let me go get ready." I took my bag upstairs and started to unpack. Soon enough, Alice walks in, arms folded and sits on the bed.

"I know, i know. I need to tell him, dont scold me." I put more stuff away, not even looking at her.

"Charlie. Don't string him along. You need to tell him tonight or i will." I sighed. She was right. And i know she wasnt lying. She will tell Chris if i don't. Truth is, i dont know how to tell him let alone what to tell him.

"Ill tell him tonight. Dont worry. I just want to do it when its just me and him." She didn't say another word, just helped me unpack and get ready for a night out.

"You ready?" Chris said, after merely two hours of getting ready. What can i say? Im a woman. I nodded my head and we head out to the car to meet with the other at the bar. Not just any bar, a sports bar. I rolled my eyes at the irony of this.

"Ayeeee! You made it!" Ricky said, giving me a hug. We all sat down st a booth in the back where it was the quietest. I tried my best to hide the fact that it felt awkard to be around Chris.

"So how many songs did you guys finish?" Vinny asked, folding his hands and smirking. I had an odd feeling he knew something was up.

"Oh quite a few. I would say 3." I played it off. Soon the waiter comes over to take our orders.

"Well you know me. Ill get spicy chicken wings and a bud light." Chris said making me chuckle. The thing he always orders when we come here.

"I'll just have a rum and coke." I said earning a look from everyone. They all ordered their drinks then turned to me as soon as the waiter left.

"Since when do you drink alcohol?" Ballz asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah and let alone the hard stuff?!" Ricky exclaimed. I just looked down. On a night like this, i need the hard stuff. A lot of things could go wrong tonight.

"Nothing could go wrong with alcohol guys." They just left it at that. Soon the festivities started. We played our games we normally played when we went out and just talked. I had about 4 drinks and it was really hitting me.

By the end of the night i had 8 drinks and i was drunk. I felt free and that i could do anything that comes to mind. Chris drove me home because he wasnt that drunk but he was still buzzed. As soon as we pulled up in the drive way i remembered what must be done.

"Chris. Sit down." I drunkly said to him as we entered the house. He smirked.

"Is this where we fuck and i take your v card?" He laughed. I swallowed hard and sobered up a little. We sat down on the couch as i looked down on the floor. I couldn't bare to look at him.

"Im not a virgin anymore Chris." I could hear Chris gasp. I look up to see confusion written all over his face. "Im kidding." I played it off. I dont want to hurt him and say i cheated on him. But what am i supposed to say? I don't love you anymore i love Andy? I didn't want to hurt his feelings but anything i say will do that. I have to tell him the truth.

"You know how i said i was with the band writing songs?" He nodded his head. I sighed and swallowed hard. This is it. "I wasn't with them." He looked shocked yet confused.

"Then where were you fir like 5 days?!" He tried to get out but kept stuttering. I have a feeling this is not going to end well.

"I was in L.A." His eyes go wide and he slowly blinked. "Before you say anything. I left the day after you did. I went to see some friends." God i dont know what to say. I cant just say i went to see Andy because i love him.

"You mean Black Veil Brides? What is this about?" He sounded mad. I had to say something.

"Ok ok. Listen. So my bands mates cane over and we all talked. They pressured me and made me realize something." He nodded then put his hand on mine. Tears began to well up. This is the end of our relationship. "Ive been chasing someone for half my life. Then i ran away because of one small thing. I ran away and hid because i was scared. Then they found me and all the things i felt about them came rushing back." Chris immediately looked sad. Tears fell down my face. "Chris.... I do like you. But, my love for Andy is stronger. I don't want to hurt you. I never did. Thats why its so hard to say this now. I want to be with Andy. Ive wanted to be with him all my life. And sure, those 7 years i completely forgot about him because i had you, but now hes back and all my feelings for him are back. I love him Chris." I cried and so did he. I felt so bad breaking his heart. I never meant for this to happen. I never meant for Andy to come back into my life. But now that he is, all i want is him.

"I love you Charlie." Chris sobbed in my arms.

"I know. Im so sorry Chris." We sat there crying. Chris looked into my eyes and within a flash, he kissed me. For some reason i kissed back. This felt different then when i kissed Andy. Our tears made the kiss feel wet and it was filled with such sad emotions. Eventually we pulled apart and looked into each other's eyes.
