Black Waves

When There Is A Hiatus

Andy is back with Black Veil Brides in Florida. They are now in Miami. Only Lonny knows what happened and Andy hasn't even updated him with the rest of the news. He is constantly on edge, waiting for his producer to show up so he can give him a piece of his mind. Remington had a show earlier in Germany but still hasn't texted him. I hope he's okay...

"Andy, you ready for sound check?" CC yells across the room. Andy gets up and quickly does sound check and has the microphone where he wants it to be. He looks at his phone and still nothing from Remington. He decides to call the man and hope he picks up. It ends up ringing to voice mail.

"Hey my love, I go on stage in an hour. Just wanted to see how you were doing. Make sure you eat something even if it's small. Drink some water. I love you so much baby. We will get through this no matter what. Call or text me. Bye."

Andy sits in the dressing room and sighs. The rest of the band trickle in after making sure their equipment is okay and ready to play. Lonny sits by Andy and puts his arm around him. 

"Alright, you've been acting fucking weird Andy. You cancelled two weeks of tour and can't even tell us the reason. What the hell is going on?" Jake asks. 

"Just give him a minute, he's been going through a lot," Lonny says. 

"No, I'm ready to talk about it but it's not even my story to tell." Andy looks at Lonny and sighs. "When we had the album release party my boyfriend was drugged and raped. He is scared out of his fucking mind and I've been trying to get him through it." He takes a swig of water and leans back on the couch.

"Who at the party did it? Poor fucking Remi, how is he now?" CC asks. He doesn't know the man well but knows his brother Sebastian more. They've talked more since the party those months ago.

"It was William. Without a doubt. They tied all the evidence on Rem to him but I guess William has a strong fucking case. Making it sound like Rem wanted it and has done it before. William stole a picture off my phone of Rem, doing, you know, and made it sound like it was his picture. So now it looks like they were fucking behind my back and Rem knew he was into BDSM so it explains how he got hurt and the drugs."

Lonny looks at him in shock. "What the hell. I knew William was creepy as fuck but this takes it to a whole new level. Has anyone even seen him in a while?"

"Probably hiding like the coward he is," Jake mumbles. 

"There's nothing I can do though. I'm not allowed to talk to him, look at him, anything. They want Remington to drop the charges because court will make it look like it's his fault and he regrets it."

"Alright guys you're on in 10!" The tour manager yells.

"Listen, we got your back. Let's get through this last month of tour and regroup. I can't work for someone who is raping our partners. We need to support each other on this," Jake says. 

"I'm going to put some feelers out and see what we can find. Don't do anything hasty."

The band goes on stage and Andy follows after, seeing his boyfriend still hasn't responded.
