The Seven Month Trial (Sequel to SDD)

Chapter Eight: Hospital Visit

           Hearing groaning right in my ear was certainly not how I imagined myself waking up the morning. Of course neither did I expect to wake up next to Andrew fucking Biersack either. The storm was still raging outside which meant that CC wasn’t gonna be over here for a while either, fuck.

                Stealthily opening up an eye I noticed that Andy was still asleep but he wouldn’t be for long. Taking my chance I quickly got up from my place on the couch and went into the kitchen. My head was spinning but I figured that was because I was just hungry. Raiding the fridge I took out the milk and Fruit Loops; breakfast of champions’ right here! Walking back out with my cereal I raised an eyebrow at Andy’s amazed face. “Am I dreaming?” He asked.

“No, you got crocked last night and I was left to take care of your drunken ass. By the way you owe me for all of the damages you caused last night!”

He winced at my loud voice, “Ow! Shh! I’m sorry…. I had no idea.”

Rolling my eyes I went and grabbed a banana, “Here, eat this it’ll help,” I then tossed it at his face, “I know it sounds weird but it does.”

“Thanks…” He began to eat it as I sat down next to him on the couch awkwardly, “Where did you learn this banana trick anyways?”

“Back in school they explained a hangover was nothing more than a problem with dehydration and a deficiency of potassium. By drinking water and eating a few bananas or peanut butter then you’ll recover slightly faster.”

Andy looked amused slightly, “They taught you how to combat hangovers; jeez…”

“Yeah well that was just my anatomy and physiology class with Mister Yarks, he was one of my favorite teachers.”

“You never talked much about your life in Florida.”

“I don’t want to talk much with you at all.”

                Andy looked at me with a hurt expression but I just stared back at him with a blank one, what did he expect? We lapsed into silence and I grabbed the remote off. Clicking on the weather channel my mouth dropped open at the huge storm sitting right over top of where we were. Turning the volume up even more Andy and I just sat there listening in.

                I shuddered before pulling the blanket on the couch up around me, apparently this storm was said to be staying here for quite a while; great. The weather was actually said to only get worse as the next couple of days went on which meant Andy and I weren’t gonna get far. That was just great I mean the last thing I wanted to do was be stuck with my ex-fiancé on a tour bus for who knows how long.

                Reaching for the remote again I didn’t notice that Andy’s hand was going for it as well. Just as our hands hit I once again felt that electric shock just like the olden days. Looking at him I noticed that he had the same expression on his face. Looking into his eyes I was instantly beginning to get pulled in, just like old times.

                Vaguely I realized that he was moving in but I was more focused on his eyes. Closer and closer his face got and I could feel my heart beat speed up into an indescribable rhythm. Ba dump! Ba dump! Ba dump! The sound of the blood in my ears was roaring and blocking out anything else from being heard. Now I could feel the ghost of his breath on my face when I smiled slightly. Raising my hand I twirled his hair between my fingers.

                Bam! Andy suddenly reeled back and put his cool hand to his now stinging face. He looked shocked at me and frankly looked a little like a puppy that was just chastised. His chest was rising and falling rapidly while I just got up and walked toward my bunk, “Listen, I know that I will always feel something for you but if you think that you’ll win me back that easily you’re wrong.” I said before climbing in my bunk and shutting the curtain.
