And I Disappear Behind The Beat.

Chapter 9

.oO Andy's POV Oo.

~On the phone with Mike~

-Do you want to go on a date sometime? With me?

-Mike. I'd love to say yes.

-But?

-I'm still getting over Josh. I like you, Mike. I really do. Maybe some time in the future?

-Yea. Okay. I'm sorry, Andy!

-It's not your fault! I'm sorry!

-It's okay, Andy! I get it! Well, I gotta go! Bye Andy!

-Bye Mike!

I hung up. I felt bad bad about rejecting Mike like that. I don't like to reject anyone, but I felt really bad about Mike! I do like him. I'm just not over Josh yet. I still love him.

.oO Josh's POV Oo.

*2 Months later*

I hate it here. I've basically spent the last two months in my room. Or at least tried. Jared is a dick. He continuously to ask about Andy. I miss her!

"Josh?" Jeremy asked me.

"Yea?"

"Today, I want you to do an activity. I want you to draw circles of all the drugs you've ever done. The bigger the circle gets, the more important the drug is. Can you do that?"

"I guess." He handed me a sheet of paper and a pen. I started to draw the circles and all the drugs I've done. Heroin was the biggest.

"Good. Now, I'd like you to do the same thing, except not drugs. Other things that are important to you. Like your family." He handed me another sheet of paper. Family, friends, music, ect. I gave it back to him.

"This is interesting." He said.

"What is?" I asked.

"Well, for most addicts drugs are bigger than anything else. For you, it's music."

At that moment. I knew I had to make a decision. Music or drugs.

"I'm ready to get help now."

.oO Andy's POV Oo.

Matt invited me to another band practice today. I'm actually excited for it.

I looked around for something to wear. I saw Josh's shirt he left here. I smiled at it. I picked a different shirt, and left my room.

Matt drove us to Mikes house. Mike and Ian were already there.

"Hey, guys. Can I talk to Mike. Alone please?" Matt and Ian left the room.

"Mike?"

"Yea?"

"Do you want to go on a date sometime?" I smiled.

"Yes!" He hugged me tight. I love Mikes bear hugs!

Later that night I went to bed. I couldn't help but think about Josh. I guess I'm over him. We can just be friends, just like he wanted. But, I wonder how he's doing in rehab. I think way to much. Especially about Josh..

.oO Josh's POV Oo.

"You know what?" Jared asked me. I sighed.

"What?"

"You're alright. You seem like a cool guy. Maybe we could hang sometime." Jared's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

"Yea. Since we live together." There was a knock at the door.
