We'll Be Each Other's Saviours

Chapter Fourteen

I woke up early and quickly did my morning routine before getting dressed. Black Veil Brides didn't have to be at the Shark Stage until 2:30 in the afternoon and it was only seven a.m. so I just threw on sweat pants and one of Andy's sweatshirts.

Yes, I know it was the middle of the summer but the air conditioned bus felt like a freezer and Andy's sweatshirt was like a mini heater. I brushed my hair and didn't bother on makeup, it was to early for that.

I grabbed my guitar and tuned it. Jake had been giving me lessons like he offered when I first met him, and I'd improved ten fold in just a few short weeks under his teaching. Once I had the guitar tuned, I reached for my pick and played the opening notes of Saviour.

It was a special song to me because it more or less described my formerly fucked up life perfectly. It promised that a savior would come and rescue me from certain death, though I'd never expected just that to actually happen. I found myself singing the lyrics that I knew so well.

"I never meant to be the one
Who kept you from the dark
But now I know my wounds are sewn
Because of who you are

I will take this burden on
And become the holy one
But remember I am human
And I'm bound to sing this song

So hear my voice
Remind you not to bleed, I'm here

Savior will be there
When you are feeling alone, oh
A savior for all that you do
So you live freely without their harm"

I stopped suddenly when I heard a sneeze come from the doorway and turned to see sandy standing there sheepishly, his face going a shade of red. I'd been so into the song that I hadn't heard him walk out. "I-I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just woke up and I heard you singing and... and..." he trailed off when he noticed that I was chucking at him "Why are you laughing?"

"Because you look like a lost puppy!" I said, now openly laughing my ass off.

He let out a scoff before walking over, and leaning on the arm of the couch. "You have a beautiful voice Danni. You sing Saviour better than I do... almost."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Nah, I have a terrible voice. Plus there's no way I would be able to scream at the end of the song. My voice just doesn't do that."

"That's bullshit, you do have a beautiful voice. And anyone can learn to scream. It just takes a lot of practice."

I just sighed and propped my guitar up on the couch next to me. I motioned for Andy to come sit down and he did so. We sat cuddled close to each other for an hour or so, just enjoying each other's company. "Hey, are you ever going to shave the side of your head again now that your hair has grown back out?" I asked him, playing with his long black curls.

"I dunno, maybe. I kinda like it like this."

"Can you imagine what it would look like if you buzzed it off?" He visibly shuddered at the thought.

"Actually, it was really fucking sexy when it was short. Not that it isn't now but... you know what I mean," I finished awkwardly, scratching he back of my head.

"Maybe I'll cut it then if you liked it so much," Andy whispered, sending shivers down my spine as he leaned it a bit closer to me. I waited for him to kiss me but he just pulled away and got up to turn on the tv.

"Tease," I muttered, trying to sound angry but failing miserably. Andy just smiled evilly. He grabbed the tv remote and began flipping through channels, throwing his free arm over my shoulders and pulling me close. We watched Full House like that for an hour, Andy getting jealous after he noticed my liking for Uncle Jessie and trying to cover my eyes whenever he came on screen. It was kind of adorable to say the least.
