Melanie didn't go to the show. She couldn't. She just told Andy that the reason she cut was because of him. Melanie knew his goal with Black Veil Brides was to believe in yourself and to not let anyone put you down. He would have fans every day come up to him and tell him that they saved them from committing suicide or from cutting. Melanie told him the opposite. How was he going to handle this?

Melanie took out her iPod and put the head phones in her ears. 'Carolyn' started playing and she began to sing along. Singing always did make Melanie feel better.

Then Melanie had an idea. If she wasn't going to be going to the concert, she might as well put one on herself. She connected her iPod to the iHome on the bus. She danced around the bus singing along to her favourite songs, probably looking like a maniac. Two hours passed like five minutes to her, because whenever she gets lost in music, she stays lost, or at least until someone interrupts her.

'Face Down' by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came on and she was jumping around, singing at the top of her lungs when she bumped into something.

She turned around and looked straight into the blue eyes of Andy. She felt her heart pounding against her chest. She didn't know what to say to him.

"Nice voice you got there," Andy grinned.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Melanie said while she felt herself blushing madly.

"Melanie, we need to talk about what happened earlier," Andy said seriously.

Melanie was about to respond, when the rest of the guys came stumbling into the bus.

"Mel, Andy, we're going to play truth or dare, you guys want to join?" CC asked.

"Sure, I guess," Melanie said. She didn't quite understand why a group of grown men would want to play truth or dare.

Everyone took a seat on the couches. Melanie, of course, was stuck between Andy and Ashley.

"Alright, Ashley truth or dare?" Jake asked.

"Dare, duh!"

"Okay, um, I dare you to do the saltine challenge," Jake said.

"Really dude? That's the best you got?" Ashley complained.

"Sorry, I'm not really good with dares."

Ashley got the saltines and stuffed his face. He started choking, so a new rule was set: no food challenges.

"Truth or Dare," Ashley asked Melanie.

"Um, Dare?"

"Mel," Ashley smirked, "I dare you to make out with me for two minutes. With tongue."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Ugh, fine," Melanie huffed.

Melanie pivoted herself so she was on Ashley's lap and crashed her lips into his. Ashley slipped his tongue into Melanie's mouth and their tongues explored each other's mouth. Melanie wasn't really enjoying the experience, but it wasn't completely dreadful. Ashley was a good kisser, but it felt to her like she was making out with her bother, if she had one.

"Alright, time's up!" Jinxx said.

Thank God, Melanie thought.

Melanie squeezed back into her seat and looked at Andy. He looked like he wanted to punch a wall.

"Um, truth or dare?" Melanie asked.

"Truth."

"Do you have a crush on anyone, and what's their name?"

"I don't have a crush on anyone," he replied with no emotion.

Melanie's stomach dropped. The whole room was silent.

"I'm going to go out for some air," Melanie said to the guys.

She walked out of the bus and sat up against one of the tires. She wanted to cry so badly. He told Juliet that there was someone else and then her lies straight to her face. What the hell was wrong with him?

"Hey," a deep voice said.

Melanie looked up and immediately wished she hadn't.

"What do you want Andy?"

"We never got to talk about earlier."

"What's there to talk about?" Melanie asked as Andy sunk down next to her.

"You told me that I was the reason you cut yourself. What did I do?" his voice cracked.

Andy looked like a wounded puppy. Melanie really didn't want to answer this question. If she told him and he turned her down, everything would be ruined. But, she hated to see him hurt. Melanie remembered the night at the bar where Kenzi had told her that she should just tell him.

"I love you Andy," Melanie whispered. She was expecting Andy to tell her that he didn't like her and that she should leave.

"Melanie, I love you too," Andy said.

"What?" she asked as she turned to look at him.

"I love you, with all my heart."

Melanie looked into his eyes and felt her heart melt. Andy cupped her face in his hands and slowly brought her lips to his. Their lips moved in sync and his lip ring on her lips sent shivers down her spine. Andy tasted of cigarettes and whiskey. Andy licked Melanie's bottom lip, begging for entrance. Melanie teased him and kept her lips close together. Andy wrapped his arms around her waist and lowered them slowly until they reached her ass. He squeezed her ass causing Melanie to gasp and Andy slid his tongue into her mouth. After another minute or so, Melanie slowly pulled away breathing heavily.

"Wow," she breathed out.

"Melanie, you have no idea for how long I've wanted to do that," Andy smiled.

"Same here. The guys are going to be so happy to know that we're going out."

"Let's not tell anyone yet. I want this to be our little secret. I love you."

"I love you too," Melanie grinned.

No matter how many times he said it, she still couldn't believe it. Andy loved her.

Note: Yay!!! They're finally together!!! On another note, I will not be able to update within the next two days because I have a Girl Scout sleepover thing to go to. I will be writing while I'm there though. I have already started on the next chapter, which will introduce a character that I'm really excited about! After the 22nd I will not be able to upload as much because school will be starting for me. I'm going to be taking AP language, chemistry, as well as being involved in Drama Club and my vocal lessons. Lots of love duckies!
