Heaven Below | | Andy Black x Reader

14 - Savior

      I turn to see what was tugging at my neck and as soon as I even remotely whip my head around I felt a strong sting on my face. A double mouthful of a boney fist. I stumbled back into a furious Andy. He caught me and gave me a quick worried look before he turned back to the heckler.

"Another one bites the dust, huh Andrew?" A disembodied husky voice of a woman brought an iron taste to my mouth. A deep scarlet red sensation of warm blood. Andy left my side and stood up to the female and grunted softly. Though my head was down, I could sense the dangerous tension of Andy's eyes piercing through someone's souls

"Are you fucking kidding me?" He raised his grim voice. "You punched her? She didn't do shit!" A feminine laugh followed after Andy's furious and defensive comment.

"She has such a punchable face.. sorry dear." Another laugh escaped from her lips.

"Don't fucking call me that you whore" Andy snapped back and growled slightly. I looked up while holding my aching nose and mouth, blood seeping from in between my fingers. It was a pregnant Juliet and an angry Andy.

"What? You gonna do something about it?" Juliet teased. Andy stared her down.

"No, I don't hit women.. even if you do need your ass beaten halfway down to hell and back." After what felt like hours of Andy relentlessly staring her down, he replied to her annoying question. He gave her one last stare down as she smiled devilishly before he turned his back to her. She reached out and grasped his leather jacket aggressively and tried to turn him back around, but he didn't budge, holding his stature like a statue.

He simply turned his head, a face crumpled up into a look of disgust. "May you get into Heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.. Juliet." He turned back to face me

"C'mon, Y/N.. let's get out of here.." He helped pick me up and gave me a napkin from the restaurant.

We were far from the restaurant and nearly back at the hotel. The moon glistened like a shimmering slate blue ocean. Reflecting light down onto the Earth, once plagued in darkness.

"Do you need a ride home at all, Y/N?" He said while holding my arm in comfort.

"I'm not sure... I don't really wanna go home with a bloodied up nose and a black eye..heh.." Nervous laughter came from my busted lip.

"Well then I'll help clean you up when we get back to my room.. then you can decide if you wanna go home. Sound good?" He assured me with an overly kind smile. I couldn't help but to smile back at him.

"I'm grateful for you, Andy.." I whispered out. He looked at me with mild shock and appreciation.

"Why?" He asked me.

"You not only saved my life, a stranger like me.. but you also saved me from the bus ride, and helped me when I got my face busted in. You're always there for me. You could've just.. left after bringing me to the hospital that night and continued about your tour. But you didn't.. why?" I explained to him while looking at my converses. Andy remained silent, looking into the distance as we walked. He didn't reply.
