Chapter Twenty

"Are you going to show Leighla around town today?" Amy asked Andy whilst we ate breakfast. We'd spent the day before in the house, watching films and TV with his parents, but Amy and Chris had somewhere to go during the day and us staying there alone was kind of pointless.

"Yeah, I'll show her a couple of places." He said with a smile, standing up as he finished his cereal and downed the rest of his orange juice. "When are you and dad leaving?"

"In about an hour. You two might want to get ready soon if you want to be gone before us." She shot a smile in our direction before leaving the room. We were both in our pyjamas and had only gotten up a half hour before, despite it being 11 o'clock already.

Heading upstairs, I planned my outift in my head and grabbed the clothes, running into the bathroom before Andy could. "Hey!" He yelled, making me laugh as I locked the bathroom door and turned on the shower.

"We'll be back for six-ish." Andy said, kissing his mom's cheek and waving at his dad before we left the house. I hugged both of his parents quickly, following him through the front door and into the car.

"So, where are we going first?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as he started the car up without a word. Shooting me a grin, he tapped the side of his nose, making me groan loudly. "Not another goddamn surprise." I groaned, shaking my head as he laughed.

"Okay, no surprises. We're going to the shop where I got my first tattoo." He said, shooting me a grin as he drove. "I'm getting another one today." My eyebrows shot up at his words and I sat up straight in my seat.

"Ooh, what are you getting? I want one too - I haven't gotten a new tattoo in months." I was suddenly excited for this tattoo, but I had no idea what I'd be getting inked.

"It's a surprise but, before you ask, I'll give you a clue." I raised an eyebrow as he tapped the left side of his chest and pointed over at me. Frowning, I began to ask what he was talking about before stopping myself.

"Seriously?" He grinned and nodded. "Holy fuck - I want one too." He laughed and nodded, threading our fingers together and placing them on the gear stick.

"Sounds good, love. I'm getting your name, but you can get something else if you like?" I shook my head, agreeing to get the same as him and smiling at the thought. "Where are you going to get it?"

"The middle of my chest, a few inches below my collar bones." I looked over at him as he 'hmm'ed and agreed to get his in the same place. "I'm gonna get a little crown over the top of it." I decided. "Before you can ask, no it's not because you're the king of rock - it'll look cute is all." I said with a laugh as he shut his mouth and hid his cocky smirk as I shot him down. "You can get the same, but yours will have to be because I am the king of rock."

He laughed and rolled his eyes, rubbing his thumb across the palm of my hand. "Definitely."

Our tattoos were awesome. Simple, but really fucking awesome.

I'd gotten 'Batman Parke-Biersack' written in cursive over my heart with a cute little crown above it, and Andy had gotten 'Lala Parke-Biersack' written in the same way with the exact same crown above it. We'd wanted to have traditionally matching last names, but neither of had wanted to ditch our last names as they were also our stage names. In the end, we'd decided to hyphenate our last names for the both of us, and I was glad that I hadn't stopped being Leighla Parke completely. Our tattoos were in the same place - the middle of our chests a few inches below where our collar bones sat. Despite all the redness and swelling, it was already my favourite tattoo.
