A/N: Before anyone reads this chapter I want to warn you all that this chapter contains scenes that some readers might find distressing. I will put a note before and after the parts that are distressing, so that the readers who would prefer not to read them can miss those parts out. I have included these events because I feel they add more to the story and I feel they need to be there. I hope everything's ok with what I've written. Please tell me if there is anything that concerns you.Ciara x
Chapter 17 Andy’s POV:
I climb on to the bus, not looking back because I know I’ll lose all my resolve and go running back into Willow’s arms. I don’t want to spend a second away from her but I know she’s right, we need some space.
When I walk down the aisle I feel the bus begin to pull away. And my heart sinks. I’m really going away from Willow. I see the band relaxing on the sofa and when I come into the room they all look up.
“How did it go?” Jinxx asks, looking concerned. I meet his eyes and shrug. I sit next to him.
“It went fine.” I say.
“Why do you look so upset then?” Jake asks.
“I just don’t really want to leave her. I’ve only just found her.” I say quietly. Jake nods as if he understands. I guess he would, seeing as Ella is English.
“Why are you here then and not with her?” Ashley asks, looking confused.
“She thought it would be best if we had some space. I have some things I need to sort out and so does she. I’ll be back in a few weeks.” I reply with a sad smile.
The band nod. “I’ll miss Willow.” CC says thoughtfully. “She was so brave and seemed so appreciative. I wish I was half as strong as she is. Even after everything she’s been through she can still smile.”
I nod knowing all CC’s said is true. “She’s amazing.”
We sit quietly for a few moments and I go to the fridge and get a beer. I pull of the top and take a drink, the cold refreshing taste filling my mouth. I’m already counting down the minutes until I see Willow again.

Willow’s pov:
Once I’ve finished explaining the last few amazing days, Mum looks at me in shock.
“That Andy guy’s in a band?” She says, looking startled. “And you both like each other?”
I nod, embarrassed. I’ve never liked a guy before, so this is all new to me.
“God Willow, why? Can’t you like someone normal?” She says, the horror evident on her face. I stare at her in shock.
“Even after I’ve told you about everything he’s done for me you still can’t get your head around the fact that he’s in a band? He’s never hurt me and he’s been there for me when no one else has! He’s the best thing that has ever happened to me and he’s not going away Mum.” I say angrily. I can’t believe she’s reacted like this.
“I wonder what he’ll be doing back in America? Making up with his ex?” Mum spits out. My mouth drops. That’s just cruel!
“You can’t say that Mum. He’s not like that.” I say back, my voice an angry whisper.
“You don’t know him! You may think you do but you don’t! He’s a rock star; he’s not going to care about you! I’m not trying to hurt you Willow but it’s the truth.” She says.
“I know him! Can’t you just accept that I really like him?” I say, frustrated. I thought she would understand.
“You don’t! You just think you do! Willow, you aren’t even going to see him again.” Mum looks at me concerned but I just shake my head.
