We'll Be Each Other's Saviours

Chapter Eight

Once the movie was over, we all said our good nights to each other and headed back to our bunks. I checked on Andy one more time before getting in bed.

I laid there for a couple of minutes just thinking over everything that had happened today.

I was living with Black Veil Brides. I. Was. Living. With. Black. Veil. Brides. I kept repeating that in my head, still not quite believing it. I was probably going to wake up tomorrow back in my own bed with my father looming over me, ready to give me another beating.

I rolled over on my side and closed my eyes. Within a few minutes I was sleeping peacefully, without the horrible nightmares that usually accompanied my sleep.

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

I woke up to rustling blanket noises all around me, indicating that the guys were getting up. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, not recognizing my surroundings for a minute. Then I remembered how Andy had brought me to the tour bus last night. I remembered how he'd saved me. I hadn't been dreaming after all.

Sighing, I sat up and checked the time. I gasped, it was almost twelve in the afternoon. I haven't been able to sleep in so late since my mother died. I didn't have the usual cloud hanging over my head that I was so used to from constantly running on four hours of sleep. I actually felt great.

I hopped out of bed and looked up at the top bunk to see that Andy was gone. He must have woken up before everyone else.

I was about to grab my makeup and toiletries when I felt two arms around my waist and was spun around in the air.

"GOOOOD MORNING!!!!" CC yelled in my ear.

I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breath and he eventually set me down on the floor. We both collapsed in a laughing fit, rolling around on the floor and holding our stomachs.

Eventually I caught my breath and stood up, looking down at CC who was still on the floor.

"Good morning to you to," I said to him as I gathered my supplies and headed to the bathroom. He was so random.

The rest of the band must have already gotten ready because I smelled waffles coming from the kitchen. I took a five minute shower, brushed my teeth and quickly dried and styled my hair. I put in all my facial piercings and some thick eyeliner and mascara on like usual and dark red lip stick before going back into the bunk room and behind my curtain.

I put on a black My Chemical Romance t-shirt, a pair of dark denim shorts and my black converse. I threw in some black gauges and checked to make sure that I still had on my Black Veil Brides necklace that I wore for good luck. I'd had it for four years now and only took it off to shower.

Once I made sure that my outfit looked ok I made my way out to the kitchen to see that there was a single waffle left on the plate. Unfortunately Jake spotted it to and we both made a dive for it at the same time. I grabbed it just before him and stuffed it in my mouth. Jake muttered something at me before heading out to the lounge. I flipped him off, even though his back was turned.

I proudly finished the waffle and then followed him out. I saw him, CC, Ashley, and Jinxx all gathered around the tv watching The Avengers. I chuckled at the sight and then realized someone was missing.

"Guys, where's Andy?" I asked them.

Ashley looked up at me worriedly. "We have no idea, he wasn't in his bed when we all got up. He must have left before we woke up. He hasn't been answering his phone either."

I was getting really nervous now. Andy wasn't in the right state of mind to be out right now.

I pulled Jinxx up by his shirt sleeve and dragged him out to look for Andy with me, seeing as he was sort of the band medic. He grumbled a bit but didn't complain much. Smart man.

I knew this town like the back of my hand, and we searched every ally way there was, but to no avail.

Jinxx and I were losing our minds now. Andy could be anywhere, he could've even taken a cab out of the area. We had tried calling his phone multiple times but it had gone to voice mail every time, just like Ashley said.

Eventually we made our way down to the river and started walking upstream to see if he had gone there. It was about fifteen minutes before I spotted a strange color in the water flowing down stream. I pointed it out to Jinxx and it was then that we realized what it was.

We looked at each other in horror and started sprinted upstream. I had a feeling where it was coming from and unfortunately, I was correct. I dialed Ashley and told him to meet us with the tour bus at the bridge near the south part of town.

Jinxx and I dragged Andy out from under the bridge and I looked on as Jinxx wrapped his t-shirt around Andy's bleeding hand.

He'd taken one of my blades and carved his Dragonfly tattoo out of his hand. It was the tattoo that he'd gotten for Juliet.

I heard the bus pull up on the road by the bridge and Ashley, Jake, and CC all ran up to us. I explained to them that we had found Andy under the bridge and told them what he had done.

I was very close to tears as the guys helped Jinxx get Andy on the bus, but I managed to keep my cool.

We rushed him to the hospital, me clinging to Ashley as I watched Jinxx trying to rouse Andy. I don't know how long he'd been passed out but I did know that he had lost a lot of blood from the amount that I had seen around him and in the river.

Ashley was rubbing my back and trying to sooth me, but it wasn't working. I don't know why I was freaking out so much over this. Andy's breathing was a bit more ragged then normal but it wasn't like he was dying. He was most likely going to be fine and yet I was a wreck. He was fine. Right?

My arm started itching for the soothing sting of a blade. It was one of my blades that Andy had used. This was all my fault. But I'd promised the guys that I would try to stop. It was a promise that I intended to keep.

Once we reached the hospital we all jumped out of the bus and carried Andy in. A nurse saw us and immediately had us lay Andy on a gurney. He was rushed to intensive care and we were left in the waiting room. Jinxx offered to fill out the paperwork while Jake called Juliet.

I didn't hear him say anything to her about the picture on Instagram, he just told her our location and that Andy was in intensive care. He didn't even tell her exactly what was wrong. Once he hung up he told us that she had been in Nevada at a photo shoot and that she would try to get to LA by morning as she couldn't get a flight out until then.

I clung to Ashley for the next two hours, after which the nurse from before came out and told us that Andy was stable but he would have to be held until tomorrow morning. She asked if any of us were family and we said that we were his band mates. I knew that I wasn't but I figured the guys just didn't want to explain anything. We also told her that his girlfriend would be here tomorrow morning.

She nodded. "You can see him now but he's still unconscious. He lost a lot of blood and he'll probably be out for the remainder of the day."

We all stood up but she held out her hands. "Only two at a time please."

Ashley and I went back first. As I stepped in the room my breath caught in my throat. I guess getting that guitar and going to the mall would have to wait.

So what do you guys think is going on with Andy? Please don't forget to comment your thoughts and vote! And to clear up confusion early, Ashley and Danni aren't dating, Ashley was just the closest person to her when she needed comfort.
