Wake Me Up

Chapter 1O

I had woken up with the biggest smile on my face. Everything was going great. I decided to call Monica but she didn't answer. Maybe she was still asleep.

Today Crown the Empire was announcing Dave as our new screamer. We were all thrilled about it. I'm sure people would understand why we needed Dave.

Dave was a pretty great guy. He was very bright and eager. With Dave being apart of the band meant we had to write with him. Crown is currently working on our first full length album. Exciting huh ?

Our record label said we only had a few time to write, record, master and mix everything in 3 months. Which surprisingly they never told us why. We never thought we'd blow up the way we did with Limitless. It was surreal.

I stopped by Monica's house. I knocked on her door. When it opened it revealed the cutest version of Monica. She was wearing a blink-182 big t-shirt, grey sweatpants, and her star wars slippers. Plus her hair was in a messy bun sitting on top of her hear.

"Good Morning," I said with a laugh. "Hey," she said with her 'I just woke up' voice. It was pretty cute actually. "I'm headed back to San Antonio today." she said. "Oh. When will you be back ?" "Next month." "Awh. I came to tell you that were going to start our new album. We have 3 months. So it will be a while before we can actually hang out. We're practically going to be living in our studio. So I guess this is the last time I'll see you until June.." my heart was aching. "I guess...but I'll be back all three months." she said. "Don't even bother texting me first I'll do it," I laughed and continued "I'll text you when I have the chance," "Alright Andy." Monica said hugging me and I hugged back.

TWO MONTHS LATER

Monica's POV : It was time to visit Dallas once again. I decided to surprise Andy. We weren't exclusive or an official couple, we just used to talk. I was gonna ask him to be ny boyfriend. He hasn't spoken to me since I last saw him, I tried but he would hit me with that 'I'm busy' text.

When I got to CTE's studio I was greeted by Brandon. "Hey Brandon, is Andy here ?" Brandon looked incredibly tired. He had bags under his eyes and he was growing facial hair. I had no doubts that Andy looked the same. "Yea, come right on in."

I walked into the lounge and found my favorite person on Earth. He was sleeping so I decided to cuddle next to him. He shifted as I did. I did something I knew would drive him crazy, I trailed kisses along his neck. He was quick to wake up, when he saw me he freaked out.

"Uhh, hey-y monica um." he stuttered. "W-what are you doing here ?" He asked looking around. "I came to visit you duh. I've missed you so much ! Are you busy toda-" I was cut off by a skinny, pale, blonde, average height girl. She was gorgeous. "Hey babe !" she said kissing Andy on the mouth.

My heart was broken into millions of pieces. "who's this ?" she asked. "I'm-I'm M-monica." "Why are your eyes red ?" "I-I just got done smoking weed." I knew lying was bad but I just couldn't think straight right now. "Well I should be going," i said quickly walking out the studio. Once I was out I paused and just let all my emotions out. I sobbed like their was no tomorrow.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Monica. But you didn't forgive me and I needed someone there for me who wouldn't bring my past up when I was thinking about the future." Andy said. "Andy. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO SLEPT WITH MY BEST FRIEND WHILE BEING DRUNK THEN ON THE SAME DAY TOOK MY VIRGINITY ! YOU KNEW HOW I FELT ABOUT YOU AND YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT ! YOU TALKED ME INTO IT ! TELL ME IF I DID THAT TO YOU WOULD YOU FORGIVE ME ?!?!?!" I yelled.

Andy was silent. "You know what I'm done. Whatever this was I'm done. Done getting hurt. Just go back to your girlfriend and don't bother looking for me. I wish you the best. Good bye." I rolled my shoulders back, lifted my head, and walked away. I felt his eyes on me but I ignored it.

I drove to starbucks to call Josh. Just right when I was about to open the door, a stranger held it for me. "Thank you," i said. I probably looked like a wreck right now but I don't think the stranger cared. His eyes held this warmth, that made you crave something more from them.

"No problem. I'm sorry to get in your business but are you okay ?" He asked. I wasn't really paying attention because I was taking in his facial features. His eyes were beautiful, his hair was slicked back, he had black gauges, and his facial hair looked so good.

"No. I'm really not." "would you like to talk about it ?" "I guess." I shrugged. We sat down at a booth. "What's wrong ? What happened ?" That was all it took for me to let my eyes turn into waterfalls. I told him EVERYTHING about Andy and I. "Wow. That's crazy but you deserve better. Look I don't even know your name but I do know that no one deserves that. The fact that he had the chance to prevent all this and didn't, is complete cowardness. It'll get worse before it gets better. Once you hit rock bottom, you can only go up and let me tell you, you're going all the way to the moon. Just hang on, you'll be swimming again soon." he said with a smile that I couldn't get over.

"Thank you so much. But I have to get going. What's your name ?" i asked. "Dave and no problem. You said you lived in San Antonio right ? Well in that case, give me a call or send me a text." Little did I know he would soon consume my thoughts.
