You're Not Alone (Andy Biersack Love Story)

Chapter 19 (A Love Like War)

"I will be there," Ashley finished.

He sang 'Saviour' to Skylar, her favourite song. This was most likely one of the cheesiest things Melanie ever saw, but she still thought it was adorable.

"So if you guys haven't figured it out yet, this beautiful girl here is my girlfriend."

There was an eruption of cheers, but also a fair amount of boos to be heard from the crowd. Skylar waved at the audience and walked off of the stage.

"That was perfect," Skylar told Melanie while holding onto her chest.

"Well since Ash did that for his girl, I suppose it's only fair that I do it for mine. What do you guys think?" Andy asked the fans. There was once again a loud eruption of cheers from the crowd mixed with a few boos.

"Oh god...," Melanie gulped.

"Jeez Mel, move your ass!" Skylar said, pushing Melanie towards the stage.

Melanie slowly shuffled her way to Andy, who held his hand out to her. His hand was sweaty, but it was comforting non the less.

The introduction to 'Carolyn' started and Melanie took in a sharp intake of breath. She looked up into Andy's brilliant, blue eyes and noticed that familiar glint in them. Andy sang through the song, his gaze not wandering from Melanie's face. Melanie hardly noticed the music playing or the cheers from the fans, she only noticed Andy. The music stopped and Andy kissed her gently on the lips which earned some 'aww's and 'boo's from the crowd. Melanie blushed furiously and waved quickly to the fans, and made her way backstage to the happiest Skylar she'd ever seen.

"We have the sweetest boyfriends ever, don't we?" Skylar asked.

"Yeah, we sure do," Melanie smiled as she looked back at Andy on the stage.

"Andy, when did you and Ashley plan that serenading thing out?" Melanie asked a sweaty Andy.

"Well, right before the show actually. We just both wanted to show off our amazing girlfriends," he smirked.

They grabbed thier overnight bags from off the bus and headed up to their rooms.

Melanie jumped into the show when they got to their room, she desperately needed to clam herself down. Tonight was going to be the night she gave herself ot him. She scrubbed away all of the dirt from the day and turned the shower off before drying herself off. She put on some silky pajamas- lingerie just wasn't her style- and exited the bathroom.

Andy wasn't there, which Melanie found a bit odd. She thought about where he would be, and then it hit her. She slid on a pair of worn-out flip flops then went outside. After circling the hotel almost once, she found Andy. He was leaned up against the wall of the hotel taking long drags from his ciggarette.

"Hey, what are you doing out here when it's freezing?" Melanie asked.

He jerked his head in her direction, obviously not expecting her to be there.

"I just needed a bit of a smoke," he answered, then turned his head to look up at the moon and stars.

"I wanted to tell you, that what you did tonight was really sweet," Melanie said, even though it wasn't totally true. She thought it was sweet, but that wasn't what she came all the way to say.

Andy smiled a little, but other than that, he showed almost no signs of hearing her.

"Andy?"

"Yeah?"
