Chapter 12 Willow’s POV:

As Andy leaves I go cold. We must have been talking for an hour so I can’t be sad that he actually has to get ready. I’ve taken enough of his time.

When we were talking it wasn’t like we were strangers, but good friends. I felt like I could tell him anything and I wouldn’t be judged. I wish he hadn’t seen my scars though. I’m ashamed about that part of my life. It’s something I want to keep hidden.

My eyes drift to the place Andy had occupied. Before Ashley had come in it had seemed that me and Andy had really shared something. Instead of me unloading all my problems onto him it felt like he genuinely cared. I’m shocked and flattered that he told me about him and Juliet. I don’t ever want this time with Black Veil Brides to end.

Jake, CC, Jinxx, Ashley and Andy are the nicest people I have ever met. Even if Andy stays in England I will still miss the rest of the band. They all have girlfriends back in America to return to (apart from Ashley), so I doubt they will stay. I barely know them but I feel deeply connected to them. CC’s crazy and makes me laugh a lot. He made me feel instantly accepted and it feels good being around him. Jake’s quieter than the others. He’s thoughtful. It’s obvious he’s caring. He has a good sense of humour and makes me smile. With Jinxx it’s obvious he’s quite outgoing. He’s making jokes and laughing a lot which I like. Ashley on the other hand I feel is quite cheeky. I’ve pretended not to notice the looks he’s been giving me and Andy all day.

Andy is the one from the band I feel closest to. I’ve gotten to know him and we’ve shared sensitive parts of our lives with each other. The time I’ve spent with these five guys is invaluable and I don’t want to miss a moment with them. I’m scared it will be over too soon. What will happen when Andy does go back to America? Will I ever see them again?

I decide not to think like that and live in the moment. After all they’ve made a huge effort to have me here and I’m going to be grateful to them for my whole life. Their words and support have helped me through all this pain.

I stand up and walk backstage. I can hear the bands voices and laughter, and I can smell the hairspray from here! I turn a corner and see them all sat down and they look like the Black Veil Brides I know. Their warpaint is done in its usual fashion and they are all wearing the famous leather trousers, leather jackets and ripped shirts. They look up when I enter and smile. Andy’s is the brightest. I smile back and perch on the sofa next to Ashley.

“How long before the show?” I ask them with an excited smile. My second concert in two days!

“Forty five minutes.” Andy answers looking me in the eye. My heart skips a beat. His eyes are so blue.

I nod and my heart races in anticipation.

Just before the band goes onstage Andy approaches me with a smile on his face.

“Any song requests?” He says, standing close to me. I can’t look away from his eyes.

“Carolyn.” Slips from my mouth before I make a conscious decision to say it. His smile widens at my words.

“As you wish.” Andy says and pulls me in for one last hug. My head goes to his shoulder and my arms around his back. I close my eyes savouring the moment.
