Simple Love

24- The Truth

"ALRIGHT CLEVELAND!!!!! ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!?" I screamed into the microphone. The crowed screamed in return, making my depression slightly fade. "ALRIGHT!" I started to bounce up and down. "Well, how about we start with a cover? Because I personally think that this is one of the best songs to sing right now..." I walked over to Andy and whispered the song suggestion, and he nodded. 

The guys started the beat, then I began to sing the cords to one of the songs that has helped me through life. "Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out, or looked down on. Just try your best, try everything you can!" I started to twirl around and shake my hips. "And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away. It just takes some time, little girl. You're in the middle of the ride." I looked at Andy. "Everything"

"Everything" he sang the background cords.

"Will be just fine. Everything"

"Everything"

"Will be alright" 

"Alright" He smiled and shook a bit. We finished off the song, not taking our eyes off of one another, and I felt the connection that I feared I had lost with my depression, forming once again. Once the song was over, he grabbed a microphone and walked over to me. "Can I say something?" he questioned to the crowd. 

"As long as it's not another one of those conspiracy theories you have,  Andy! God knows no one else wants to hear another one of those!" Mike joked, smiling from ear to ear. Andy rolled his eyes and ran a hand through his long bangs. 

"Thanks, Michael, like I was asking for your approval anyway." He winked, making the crowd giggle. "Okay, anyway... so.... sit down if you're not already, because here comes a speech."

"Oh lordy" I interrupted. 

"Okay, so... Anika Alister.... we've been friend since we've met. Instantly clicking. Through failed girlfriends and angry families, or school work and sports teams, we've been there for one another. Well...I....I'm sorry.... But.. I don't want to be friends anymore...." I felt my heart drop out of my chest, and I slapped a hand over my mouth, feeling tears forming. Why the hell would he be doing this?! In front of our fans too!? The crowd started to boo and I started to cry.  I stood up, and saw Mike with fire in his eyes, ready to kill. "I hate waking up every morning and knowing that I'm going to have to be fake to you once more; to have to pretend to be your friend. Well, I'm done with it. Anika Alister, I love you. I'm in love with you, and I have been sine I laid my eyes upon you. I don't ever want to let anything hurt you. I want to be able to be your protector. Ani, will you give me the honor and privilege of being my girlfriend?" 

The entire stadium was silent, and my eyes were wide. Mike stepped out and took a few steps closer; Eli just watched. "Well?" Andy took another step towards me. "I don't think I'll be able to live another day just being able to watch the most beautiful and perfect girl be sad and comfort her as 'just friends'. I want you, Anika, I love you." He said as his eyes glossed over with new forming tears. 

"I don't know what to say, Andy..." I mumble. He takes a few steps forward and takes my shaking hands in his. 

"I'll be here to protect you, Anika. Nothing will ever be able to hurt you again. I should have asked you so long ago, but I knew that you were in pain. I can't take it any longer, I need you, Anika." I stood shakily, him still towering over me, and I pulled him down, into a hug. 

"I will" I said. 

He looked down at me and smiled. "I love you"
