You're Not Alone (Andy Biersack Love Story)

Chapter 7 (Love Drunk)

Melanie woke up in the morning with an intense headache and someone's arm around her.

She turned over in her bed to see Annie. Everything that happened last night came rushing back to her. She had sex with Annabelle. It was amazing, no doubt about that, but Melanie couldn't help but regret what she did. She only knew this girl's name, and she had sex with her. Then an ever worse thought came to her.

Oh fuck, if the guys see her on the bus, what will they think? she thought.

Annabelle started stirring in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. She looked shocked and then realization hit her.

"Morning," she yawned.

Annabelle's hair was wild and tangled, but Melanie couldn't help but think that she looked adorable.

"Morning. Did you sleep well?" Melanie asked.

"Mhmm. Um, do you by any chance know what time it is?" she asked.

Melanie searched her bunk until she found her cell phone underneath a pillow.

"It's 9:30. Why? Is there somewhere you need to be?"

"Crap. Yeah, I have work in an hour. Do you have a shower I could use?"

"Yeah, at the back of the bus. It's the door on the right. Just make sure none of the guys are in there," Melanie told her.

"Guys?" she asked, confused.

"Yeah, from the band. You didn't think I had this awesome bus to myself, did you?" Melanie laughed.

"Well... I was a bit too distracted to think much about it."

Melanie blushed a bit and Annabelle left to use the shower. Melanie got out of bed and searched her suitcase for something to wear. She decided on a pair of red skinny jeans and an old Pierce the Veil tank top.

Melanie shuffled to the front of the bus to make some coffee. She was way too tired to think. When she chugged down a mug, she started thinking about her whole situation. Sure, it would be weird explaining to the guys why she had a female guest on the bus last night, since apparently Jinxx was the only one who knew she was bisexual. On the other hand, there was something about Annie that she really liked, and she needed to move on from Andy.

"Mel?" Jinxx interrupted her thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"Who's in the bathroom? All the guys are asleep and Ashley's girl of the night left after... ya know?" Jinxx asked.

"Um, Annabelle's in the shower," Melanie replied, hoping Jinxx wouldn't push the subject.

"Annabelle? Who's Annabelle?"

"She's.. thegirlIsleptwithlastnight," Melanie mumbled.

"She's what?"

"Annabelle's the girl I slept with last night," Melanie repeated.

Jinxx just looked at her in shock.

"You had sex with someone last night?" he asked slowly.

"Yeah. I got a bit drunk and she was there, and well, one thing led to another. Don't make a big deal out of it okay?"

"Fine, just hope none of the guys find out about this. They'd probably give you shit for behaving like Ashley," Jinxx teased.

"Aghh!" someone shrieked.

Melanie ran to the back of the bus to see what was going on. She saw Andy covering his eyes and coming out of the bathroom.

Oh no, Melanie thought.

CC and Jake stumbled out of their beds to the back of the bus.

"Dude, what was that?" CC asked while rubbing his eyes.

"I don't know. I walked into the bathroom to take a shower and find some chick in there," Andy explained.

Just then the door of the bathroom opened to reveal a very nervous looking Annabelle.

"Mel, could you walk me out?" Annabelle asked shakily.

"Yeah, come on," Melanie said, grabbing onto Annie's hand and dragging her off of the bus.

"Sorry about that. Andy didn't know you were in there," Melanie apologized.

"It's okay. Well, I got to go. I'll see you soon right?" she asked.

"Actually, no. I'm touring with the guys and the dour won't be done for another month," Melanie said.

"Oh, well, could I at least get your number?"

"Sure."

Annabelle gave Melanie her number and Melanie gave Annabelle hers. They gave each other a hug and a peck on the lips before Annabelle went to go find her car in the parking lot to leave for work.

Melanie felt a pang of sadness as Annabelle left. Sure, she had hardly known her, but she made her feel happy and care-free for a little while, which was something Melanie desperately needed. Melanie really hoped that she would get to see her again.

Melanie re-entered the bus to find a very expectant looking Jake, CC, and Andy.

"What?" Melanie asked them.

"Who was that chick?" Jake asked.

"Annabelle," Melanie stated simply.

"And Annabelle is....?" Andy asked with an irritated edge to his voice.

"She's a girl I met at the club last night who I ended up sleeping with," Melanie told Andy.

"Woah," CC said with wide eyes, "When you say slept with, do you mean, like, sexually?"

"Yes. I'm bisexual. I was drunk and found her attractive, so we had sex," Melanie bluntly said.

"Ashley is going to be so pissed that he missed this," Jake laughed.

"Ashley's going to be pissed he missed what?" Ashley asked while trying to tame his hair. He had just come from his bunk and looked like crap.

"Melanie had sex with a chick from the club last night," CC said, eager to see Ashley's reaction.

"What?! Why do I miss all the good stuff!" Ashley whined.

"Come on Ash. It's no big deal," Melanie told him.

"Did you get her number?" Jake wondered.

"Um, yeah. I might call her when we come back to the area so we could meet up," Melanie said with a blush.

"I'm going for a smoke," Andy said as he stormed off of the bus.

"What is up with him?" Melanie asked the guys.

"Isn't it obvious?" Jake said.

Everyone shook their heads.

"He likes you!" he exclaimed.

"What makes you say that?" Melanie wearily asked.

"Come on! He looked so pissed off when you and Ash flirted or kissed. He looked way too over protective of you when you told us about 'the incident,' and now he storms off the bus after you get all giddy about being with someone else. Besides, I heard him talking to himself yesterday. He was mumbling about a girl he liked who wasn't Juliet," Jake spewed out.

Andy liked her. He actually liked her. But there saw still one gigantic unavoidable issue. Juliet. He was dating Juliet and he loved her. Melanie would just have to bide her time until Andy finally admitted to her that he liked her. She wouldn't have to wait that long would she? Why does everything have to be so complicated?
