Chapter 27 Willow’s POV:

Once I’ve cleaned up and changed out of my pyjamas and into an Avenged Sevenfold shirt and black jeans, I stand in front of Andy’s bathroom mirror debating what makeup to put on. I don’t want to put too much on and look like I’m trying too hard, but then again I don’t want to look plain and boring without it when I see Sammi. After a moment I decide to coat my eyes in a thick layer of eyeliner, top and bottom as I usually do. I look slightly panda like but that’s the way I like it.

I meet the eyes of my reflection in the mirror. The usual dull appearance they usually have has disappeared and instead is replaced with an excited gleam. I can’t wait to meet Sammi for the first time.

I make my way down the stairs to meet up with Zack and Andy. I follow the sound of their voices until I find them in the kitchen. The two of them are leant against the shiny black worktop, laughing and smiling. At the sight my face lights up with a smile.

They don’t seem to notice me standing in the doorway of the kitchen, too immersed in the conversation they’re having. I lean against the door frame, wanting to know what they’re talking about but also not wanting to interrupt them.

“Jinxx asked me to talk to you about it. He really wants to get to know you more.” Andy says smiling down at Zack in a brotherly manner. My heart swells with affection for both Andy and Zack.

“That’s great! He’s really cool. I would love to hang out with you guys.” Zack says smiling back appreciatively.

I wonder what they’re talking about, but I can get a fairly good idea from what I’ve just heard. I enter the kitchen and I see Andy look up. A smile lights up his face as his eyes meet mine and my own face smiles back. He’s changed out of his black pyjama bottoms and into an Avenged Sevenfold shirt almost exactly the same as mine. He wears black jeans and black cowboy boots. His face is free of warpaint and so are his arms. I move to his side and his arm slides around my waist. I lean against him, smiling my head off. I love being with Andy.

“What were you talking about?” I ask Zack, looking up to meet his eyes.

“Andy, Jinxx, CC, Jake and Ashley are meeting up today when you and Sammi are out, so Jinxx wondered if I wanted to hang out with them.” Zack replies with a huge grin on his face.

“Sounds good.” I say smiling. I pat my pockets for my phone, suddenly panicking about what time it is at the reminder that I’m going out for drinks with Sammi. The last thing I want to be is late for Sammi.

When my hands touch the hard plastic of my phone I grasp it and pull it out from my pocket. I turn the screen on and check the time. Nine thirty. I have about fifteen minutes until Sammi arrives. Nerves mixed with excitement stir in my stomach.

We spend the next few minutes waiting for Sammi to arrive talking. When I hear the knock on Andy’s front door excitement runs through me. I’m finally going to meet the Sammi Doll.

Andy smiles at me and takes his arm from around my waist. He leaves the kitchen and jogs down the hallway to the front door. I leave the kitchen and follow him, Zack at my side. I watch as he opens the door revealing a smiling Sammi Doll. A smile lights up my own face at the sight of her. I can’t believe she’s really here.
