"Juliet?" Andy looked her up and down, not sure that its really her. I can assure him it really is. She gave me really good advise last time we saw each other and really hit it off as friends but i really dont want to be doing this right now.

"Hi guys." She waved and sat right across from me and Andy. I could tell Andy was uncomfortable because of the way he was moving around in his seat. "So nice to see you guys here together. Are you finally dating?" Me and Andy exchanged looks before looking back at her.

"Come on. You didnt think that all these years i didnt know you two loved each other? And i see you took my advice." This time Andy looked at me confused. I never told Andy that i saw Juliet again after the mall. I never told him that we sorta became friends.

"Yeah i did. And im the most happiest ive been in my life." I laid my head on Andys shoulder and he laid his on top of mine. Juliet smiled. She looked fine, yet happy that me and Andy were together.

"Im happy for you two." Andy was shocked. As was i. I know shes married and all but she was in love with Andy before and now shes fine with it. "Best friends for life and now lovers. Cute." She smiled again.

"So when were you gonna tell me you guys are friends again?" Andy said looking between the two of us. We started laughing as Andy looked so dead serious.

"Thats a story for another time." I laughed some more before taking a sip of my drink. We all talked and laughed while we drank a couple drinks. Not enough to get us drunk but to get a buzz. It was like we were all friends again before anyone started dating anyone. Before there was hate. Just like back in elementary school.

"Wait. You never told us what happened to your parents Charlie. You said you'd tell us after graduation." Juliet mentioned. I immediately stopped smiling. I forgot that i was going to tell them. Everything happened with Juliet and the band and i never told them. Looking back on it now its kinda fuzzy on what happened to them but deep down i knew. I never told anyone. Not even Andy's parents who looked after me all these years.

"Wow. I thought you guys forgot about that. Um..." I was nervous. Andy rubbed my back, sensing my nervousness. "So when i was 4, just about to hit 5, it was two weeks before kindergarten, my dad. He uh.... He killed my mom then killed himself. After that i was sent to an orphanage." Tension grew in the air from my depressing story. In surprised i remembered even though i was there to witness it.

"Oh my god. Thats so awful Charlie. Im so sorry." Andy hugged me as Juliet took my hand and rubbed it with her thumb.

"I never told anyone until today. But you guys made my life worth it. Andy you made me forget all about my parents. You were my best friend for so many years. Including CC and you Juliet." They smiled and just like that the tension was gone and we were back to happiness.

"I love you Charlie." Andy gave me a kiss on the forehead and smiled. And gave him a quick hug, not wanting it to feel awkward for Juliet.

"So Juliet. Are you on the warped tour too?"

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

Later that night we all crashed at a hotel, CC and Jinxx shared a room thank god.  I got to share a room with Andy and we cuddled all night long.

The next morning we all got ready for the day. Black Veil Brides weren't on till later tonight so we all decided to walk around and check out all the booths. We occasionally ran into some fans asking for pictures and autographs. I stayed my distance away from Andy, not wanting people to quite know i was with Andy. He seemed a little sad about that but he respected my wishes.

"Charlie?" I turn around and see a familiar girl. She smiled and gave me a big bear hug. Thats when it hit me. I met this girl at the mall back in Ohio, the same day i said i loved Andy out loud in front of everyone. I was a little confused as to why she was here in Washington.

"Hey, Chelsea is it?" It was such a long time ago that ive seen her, i hope i got her name right. She nodded her head and pulled her phone out asking for a photo. We took a quick picture and i gave her a hug again. 

"Whats got you all the way out here besides the warped tour?" I was genuinely curious. I mean she looked not even 16 but then again i could be wrong.

"Oh. I got a job as a sales person for one of the bands in warped tour so im here on tour." She smiled and looked down at her feet, pulling down at her long sleeves.

"Oh my god! Congrats on the job!" She smiled once more then looked behind me at the boys who were talking to other fans. 

"You and Andy?" She whispers to me and i nodded my head with a huge smile. She squealed. "Finally!" We both started laughing. We sat down at a table and caught up on our lives. She told me she turned her life around after she met me and got rid of all the toxic people in her life including her abusive mom. I was really proud of her.

"Was your mom ever mean to you?" I wasnt expecting that. Everyone i know, knows i lived at an orphanage and with Andy. Every time someone asks about family i tense up and freeze. Ive never told anyone except for Andy and Juliet last night. The world knows i grew up with Andy but not how i grew up with him.

"Oh. I didn't have parents growing up. They died when i was young." She gave me a sympathetic look but i shrugged it off. "No one really knows and i never told anyone. Its just something i tend to throw in the back of my mind and forget." She nodded her head.

"There you are babe!" Andy said coming up to me and hugging me from behind. He gives me a kiss on the cheek then looks up to Chelsea and immediately pulls apart from me.

"Andy, this is Chelsea. I met her back in Ohio." They greeted each other in such an awkward way that i couldnt help but laugh. "Andy. She knows about us. Its ok." He instantly relaxed.

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

"Hey Charlie! Come sing on stage for me." Juliet came up to me and pushed me on stage. She said that she would sacrifice her spot for me to play. When i got on stage, the crowd cheered. I awkwardly walked up to the mic after grabbing a guitar. I wasnt sure what i was going to play. I look around the crowd and see my friends among them. 

"Hey guys! How we all doing tonight!" The crowd roared alive. I didnt know how to feel standing on the stage all by my self. Ive always been with a band. "Im going to play one of the songs ive been working on for awhile now. Its not quite finished but here it goes." 

I started strumming the guitar then go into an epic solo before slowing the speed down once again to sing. The crowd seemed to love my song. Ive been working on it since i broke up with Chris. It still needing a little touch ups but it was still a good one.

Once the song ended the crowd erupted in cheers and i felt alive. I loved being on the stage and to see people love a song i made completely by myself, made me happy. I thanked the crowed and ran off stage to be greeted by Andy with a big hug.

"That was beautiful." I smiled and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
