Don't Fade Away {An Andy Glass FanFic}

If I Can Be An Example Of Gettin' Sober...

••• Andy's Point of View •••

Today is the last day of the Fire and Ice tour, making it two weeks since mine and Talyea's first date. We've had, like, six different date since then, and when we get back to Troy, I'll be helping her move into her fully furnished studio apartment that Kyle had gotten her just last week. She didn't have a lot of things, but there was enough that, with help, she'd be at Kyle's one day and gone within the next day or so.

But Talyea has been acting weird since our first date, and I don't know of the bimbo at McDonalds said something to her and was weighing her down, or if it was with all the hate she was getting because of us dating, or both. Whatever it was, it was getting to her, and I couldn't help but notice how much thinner she was getting. And it was only this past week I've noticed her eating, no devouring, intake had went down a bit. She wasn't her usual happy self, it was almost like that person was fading away. But I wasn't going to say anything until I had her alone so Kyle, Scotty or Lou wouldn't ask me what the hell was going on or what I was doing.

I looked over to the side to see Talyea sitting on something with her legs crossed (oh yeah! and she isnt in crutches anymore! She just has an awesome limp!) and laughing at me. I gave her a wide smile and she let out chuckled, pointing to the crowd and mouthing 'pay attention.'

I laughed and turned back to the crowd, continuing to play the rest of A War Inside before we started to play Let These Words Last Forever (A/N so the tour [Fire and Ice] was early January to early April, and the song wasn't released until December, but it's just for the story line), the song that made me think of Talyea so much, because, to be honest, I've fallen for that woman.

Let this love
Carry on, carry on
When we turn to dust
Let these words last forever
Make this life
About something bigger than all of us
All of us
Let this love
Let this love carry on

I will not
Hold the shame of my mistakes like a newborn child
Pressed against my chest
They will not hold me down
Tighter than the straps
Waiting for a needle to put my head to rest
I am who I am because of the things I've done
The things I've done
I'm not proud of them all, but I'm ashamed of none

I've lived for love in hopes that it never dies
I've lived for love in hopes that it never dies
I've lived for love, love

I'd rather have my words remembered and not my name
I'd rather have this message remembered and not my face
Let this love carry on

Let this love
Carry on, carry on
When we turn to dust
Let these words last forever
Make this life
About something bigger than all of us
All of us
Let this love
Let this love carry on

We are who we are because of the choices we make
We are who we are because of the choices we make
Would you destroy this life, to live out, remember your name
Would you destroy this life, to live out, remember your name
I will have this love carry on until the end of my days
I will have this message remembered before my face

Let this love
Carry on, carry on
Let this love
Carry on, carry on
Let this love
Carry on, carry on
When we turn to dust
Let these words last forever
Make this life
About something bigger than all of us
All of us
Let this love
Let this words last forever

Let this love
Carry on
Let this words
Last forever
Let this love
Carry on
Let this words last forever!
