Its been 2 months since i moved to L.A. So far its been as i imagined. I loved going to the beach and watching sunsets with Andy. We all walk down hollywood boulevard and look at the stars on the ground. We walk around to all the famous beginnings of some of the most famous bands. It was a dream come true.

"You sure you want to come on tour with us Charlie?" Andy asked. He was worried that i would leave him like the last tour i did with them. I nodded my head and let him know that i wasnt going to leave him.

"I love you Andy. Im not gonna leave you." We exchanged smiles and continued to pack for tour. His band was set for a tour across the states. Warped tour in fact. My band was not on the list but i was told i could still perform with Andy and solo from here and there. Ive been working on music of my own since ive been to L.A.

A month ago i announced to the world that i was no longer part of the Skeletons and that i moved to L.A. I hadnt told anyone about Andy yet though. The only people that know are all my friends and of course Amy and Chris. They weren't surprised, they were relived that we finally got together.

"I call top bunk!" CC screamed as he shoved aside everyone to get to the bunks. I scoffed and laughed a bit.

"What bunk do you want Charlie?" Ashley asked me as soon as i approached to bunks. I always hated living on the tour buses when on tour because of how small of a bed you get and your cramped on a bus with your band for hours.

"I'll chose this one." I went for one of the lower bunks on the left. It wasnt to low nor to high. You can sit right on it and your feet would hit the ground. Perfect for me since i was the shortest here.

All the other picked bunks as all the equipment was loaded onto the bus by the crew. Soon enough we were on the road to the first stop which was in San Diego.

"You doing ok?" CC asked walking up to me and sitting down besides me. I've been sitting on my bunk since we got on the bus while the others went and talked in the main area. I just nodded my head.

"Yeah. Just nervous i guess." I was afraid how people would act if they find out about me and Andy. Some fan girls can be mean. They were when i was dating Chris. CC could tell what was up and reassured me everything was going to be ok.

"When the time comes, dont think about the haters. You two love each other and thats all that matters. Heck i wouldn't be surprised if you guys married in two days." We both laughed. CC was right. I came all this way to be with Andy. All these years ive loved him. So why should i care what people have to say?

"Thanks CC." He nodded and gave me a hug before joining the others. Soon enough i joined them too.

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

"Cause its the end! And im not afraid to die!" Me and Andy sang together as their last song for the day. Black Veil Brides was one of the first bands to perform and so many people showed up. They all cheered when i got on stage.

Andy gave me a big sweaty hug on stage and kissed my forehead making the crowd go wild. "Thank you San Diego!" He screamed into the mic before we ran off stage.

"You two were great out there!" Jake said giving me a high five followed by a sweaty hug. Soon enough all the guys joined in.

"Guys!! Gross!" They all laughed as we pulled apart. I miss this. These were the moments that i missed most from highschool. All of us together as a band and happy. Our friendship was strong.

We all put our arms around each other laughing and walking simultaneously together. "Charlie!" I hear someone call my name after we pass some merch tents. We all turn around and see Chris running up to us.

"Chris!" I pull apart from the boys and go over to give him a hug. The boys come over to us as well, huddling behind me like a gang. Andy puts his hands on my shoulders kind of giving Chris a look.

"Long time no see friend. You on tour too?" I asked Chris, letting Andy know its ok. Chris gave me a nod and smiled.

"Yep. Amazing show by the way guys." He says mentioning to the guys standing behind me. They all thank him then we all stood there in awkward silence.

"You guys wanna go get some food?" Ashley asks finally breaking the silence. We all agreed except for Chris. He had to get ready to go on stage. Andy grabs my hand and leads me to where the guys started to walk ahead while i said my goodbyes to Chris. He seemed a little hurt watching Andy take my hand but i couldn't say anything. I still felt a little terrible leaving him or even dating him when i loved Andy.

"Ooo pizza!" CC said running over to the food truck with pizza. I chuckled. He always picks what we eat whenever we go out.

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

Our next stop was in Washington. The hours in that bus felt like an eternity. CC and Jinxx made it a goal to annoy everyone on the bus untill we made it to our next stop. When they weren't sleeping they were annoying the crap out of us. They sang horrible versions of karaoke or sang Justin Bieber. They would bang pots against each other or spray us with water. I was about ready to kick their ass.

"Calm down Charlie. Dont give them satisfaction." Andy tried to calm me multiple times but it never worked. It only worked when we cuddled in the small bunks or when we would make out in front of them. They would both exclaim we are gross then throw a pillow at us. I just laughed and kissed Andy more.

After the bus stopped i ran off the bus with Andy and we hid from them. Far away from them at a bar. "Finally!" Andy said out of breath as we sat down at a table in the back. Soon a waiter came and took our order. We immediately ordered some hard liquor for our headaches from Jinxx and CC. Im surprised Ashley and Jake didn't join us considering they were just about annoyed as us.

"Long day?" A familiar woman said as she came up to our table. As soon as i looked up, i wanted this night to end. I wanted to go to a hotel for the night and never leave it till we leave for the next city.
