I'll Always Let You In (Ricky Horror Fan Fic)

I Can't Let Go Of You

Song: Plastic Promises by Set It Off

Liz

"Hey, Liz," a familiar deep voice greeted from behind me. I turned around to see Andy in back of me in the catering line. I was hoping to get breakfast before the gates opened, but I had barely moved up at all in the last twenty minutes. I swear, the catering lines were like the lines at Disney.

"Hi," I responded, giving him a soft smile. I had almost forgotten about the Andy situation. Telle still seemed convinced that he liked me and I was starting to think he might be right. I mean, the way he was looking at me kind of said it all. I was still trying to convince myself he was wrong, though. Andy seemed like a nice guy and I didn't want to have to let him.

"I was looking for you at the barbecue last night," he told me. That look was still in those blue eyes and it was making me a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh, I was really tired. Ricky and I ended up just hanging out in the bus," I responded. I hadn't meant to mention Ricky, but it did seem like a good move. Maybe if I added Ricky to the conversation Andy would get the hint that I liked Ricky not him.

"You and Ricky hung out?" he asked, almost with concern in his voice. The voice in my head that kept saying Andy would never like me because he was famous and had girls falling over him was slowly being pushed out of my head. Between the way he was looking at me and his tone, his crush on me just kept becoming more evident.

I just nodded in response. I didn't really think I needed to elaborate. To be honest, it really wasn't any of his business. "What did you guys do?" he asked. I think he was just trying to make conversation now.

"Just talked," I answered with a shrug. I didn't mention the kiss we had shared. As I said, it wasn't Andy's business what had happened. Not to mention, I wasn't one to share too many details with people I didn't know too well.

"So, have you and Ricky known each other long?" he questioned curiously. It was like he was trying to gather as much information he could before he made his move.

"No, we just met on this tour," I responded, taking a step forward as the line proceeded. Honestly, I wished I could say that I had known Ricky longer. He seemed like such an awesome guy that I wished I knew him better than I did in that moment.

"Next time you're too tired to go, I wouldn't mind keeping you company," he told me. As we moved up in line, Andy moved a bit too close to me for my comfort, but I didn't want to say anything and be rude. As I said, Andy was a nice guy and I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but I would have liked it if he took a step or two back.

I just smiled in response. I didn't really know what to say in response. I would much rather hang out with Ricky than Andy if I decided to stay in again, but I would never tell Andy that. As we stood in the snail-like line, he asked me a bunch of questions. He asked me how long I had worked for The Word Alive and how I had met the band and more generic stuff like that. Unlike my conversation with Ricky the previous night, I was not laughing my ass off when we finally reached the end of it. All that was at the end of our conversation was the food that I had waited about forty five minutes to get.

"So, who's this girl you were with last night?" Balz asked as we headed for the catering. It had been a while since I had been interested in a girl, so everyone was asking me a lot of questions like it was a huge deal.

"Her name's Liz. She's the one I spilled the burger on a few days ago," I responded. It seemed so weird that the first time we met she probably wanted to curse me out for ruining her shirt and now we were hanging out a lot.

"She likes you even though you spilled food on her? She must be a keeper," he joked, causing me to crack a smile. She did seem like she'd be a cool girlfriend and I wouldn't mind getting to know her better.

As we neared the seemingly endless catering line, my eyes found Liz in the mist of the crowd of people. She was talking to Andy from Black Veil Brides. They seemed to standing insanely close and the look on his face told me he had more than an innocent friendship on his mind. It immediately made me angry. Did Andy like Liz? Wait, did Liz like Andy? What if she was leading me? What if she really didn't like me, but liked Andy instead? I had thought we had a good time last night and kissing her was amazing, but what if I was wrong? I would be so pissed if Andy was planning on stealing her from me. We seemed to have a good thing going on and I didn't want Andy getting in the way of that. I had technically seen her first, too, so that counted for something.

Even though I was tempted to go say hi to Liz and Andy, just to break up their conversation, I just followed Balz to the back of the line. "What's wrong with you?" Balz asked, obviously sensing my change in mood. I just couldn't get the thought of Liz and Andy together out of my mind.

"I just saw Andy Biersack talking to Liz," I responded, peering around some people to see if I could see them. It was weird, but I kind of felt like mine. Not that she was piece of meat or something sexist like that, but I just kind of thought that she was mine to have a relationship with, not Andy's

"So, now that you like her she can't make any friends?" Balz laughed. He evidently hadn't seen how Andy was looking at her. He wouldn't be joking around with me if he had.

"No, it's not that. I just think he likes her," I explained as I found a decent view of Andy and Liz. I know it was kind of stalker-ish, but I just really liked Liz. To me relief, she didn't seem like she was having as good of a time talking to Andy as she had when she was talking to me. She barely laughed at anything he said even though I knew Andy was a funny guy. Maybe she wasn't leading me on.
