Note: I'm finally going to put some Aly and Andy time in here! :D Let me know how I did on this chapter!
3 weeks later.
My phone alarm started going off, indicating it was time to get up for work. Groggily, I made my way to the bathroom and showered.
It's Friday, Aly, you can make it through today.
As I picked out my clothes, I started to think how the past few weeks have been weird. Ashley and I have been getting closer, but we're not "talking", as in wanting to date. We're just getting closer than what we were before.
I've quit going out so much, only a couple times a week, if that. Emma is always busy at work, I'm always busy now, and we have almost no time to go out with the band. Things have started to change and I wasn't too sure if I liked it.
It's starting to seem like Ashley is replacing Andy as my best friend, because Andy's been getting more distant from me.
I sure as hell don't like that.
I love Ashley to death, but having him that close again scares me. I planned on talking to Andy today since the band's photo shoot for their new album Wretched & Divine is this morning. Since Juliet won't be there because she's out of town, it should be easier for me to talk to Andy.
I've heard from David a few times since we broke up. We talked over dinner after I cooled down, and I still wouldn't give him another chance. He didn't take that too well.
I walked in to my studio and my secretary, Daniel, was already here. He's always an early bird.
"Morning Daniel."
"Morning, girl. How you doing?"
I nodded my head and said, "Okay. So looking forward to the photo shoot today."
I rolled my eyes.
"You're not happy Ashley will be here? I see how you two are getting all cozy with each other again," he said winking at me.
I'm not in to Ashley that way anymore. Am I?
"I'm no-"
"Uh uh, girl, save it for later. You got your photography thing to do in five minutes."
I smiled and rolled my eyes. We set up my camera and the outfits just as Black Veil Brides walked in.
"Morning, Aly," they chimed in unison.
"Hey. Alright I want CC, Jinxx, Andy, Jake, then Ashley."
I positioned them in a triangle sort of way. I don't know how many photos I took of them, but there were a lot. Most of the pictures they were all acting goofy, which made me laugh hysterically. Hopefully we got at least a few good ones.
After I closed up, I realized I forgot to talk to Andy.
Shit!
I grabbed my keys and started the car. My left hand played with my hair while my right hand was on the steering wheel. I noticed I always drive like that when I'm thinking, or in la la land. I pulled in to the driveway and noticed nobody must be home because there weren't any cars in the garage or driveway.
Walking in to the kitchen, I saw Andy eating some pizza.
Why didn't he go with everyone else?
He looked up at me and back down to his phone while I grabbed a bag of Doritos. Sitting across from him, I wondered if I should talk to him now or not.
"Do you want to go to the bar tonight?"
Was he serious?
I grinned and nodded my head seeing as I had a mouthful of chips.
"Dinner then go to the bar alright?"
"Of course."
I started to walk away when, randomly, Andy pulled me in to a big hug. I hugged him back tightly.
"I'm so sorry I've let Juliet try to tear us apart. She's jealous of you, ya know."
She was jealous of me?
I raised an eyebrow at him, not completely believing him.
"You know me better than anyone else ever will Aly. We're best friends," he put his hands on either sides of my face, "Juliet knows you'll always be there for me if she isn't and she knows I'll always be here for you."
You haven't always been there for me here lately.
It kind of made me feel better to know Juliet's jealous of me. Why Andy just now decides to tell me this? Beats the hell out of me. It was nice to know though I hadn't completely lost my best friend though.
"She knows that's how best friends work, right?" I sarcastically asked.
Andy smiled and rolled his big beautiful blue eyes at me. I skipped down the hall and up the stairs to my bedroom being as happy as a rabbit in a carrot patch. I straightened my hair since I had it up today. I looked in the full length mirror to see if what I was wearing was okay.
Nope, don't need to change.
Satisfied with my look, I walked down and into the living room. I patiently waited for Andy as I texted Emma. I told her what I was doing this evening and she said she was glad Andy wasn't mad at me anymore.
"Ready to go, Als?"
I nodded and we headed to dinner in a cab, so we could actually drink tonight and not worry about getting in an accident. Usually we invited the rest of the band, but Andy said he just wanted it to be me and him tonight, just like we used to do.
We walked in to Cheddar's and were seated rather quickly. The waiter took our orders and we both sat there awkwardly.
At least I thought it was awkward anyway.
"So, um, do you think things will get pretty serious between you and..Juliet?" I asked.
Andy looked shocked I asked about her, but as soon as it was there, it was gone.
He nodded and said, "Yeah, I think eventually things will."
Maybe this wasn't the best topic to bring up.
I only nodded my head and sipped on my sprite. What was I supposed to reply back to that? I certainly had no f*cking clue.
I couldn't wait to get wasted tonight.
The rest of dinner we made small talk about random things. We finally made it to the club. I headed straight to the bar while dragging Andy behind me.
"Hey Keven! Get us something strong."
He nodded and handed us our drinks, which were shots. I don't know how many we took, but it was a bunch.
"Dance with me," he whispered low enough in my ear so only I could have heard it.
Andy lead me on to the floor and we danced to Up All Night by Hinder. We danced a while longer after that then went and bullshitted with Keven. We left around what seemed like 1 or 2 in the morning.
As we sat on the couch in the living room, Andy started to run his hand up and down my thigh and gave me that sexy smirk of his. I leaned in closer to him until our lips met. He grabbed my hips and pulled me on top of him. After a while, he finally carried me up to his room.
