(Andi's pov)
Being on tour, you sort of learn the tricks and trades of the business. Of course, I was just the girlfriend of the drummer and the one who designs the stage set up and designs the shirts to sell them. One thing you do really learn, even if you're not a primary part of this whole joint, is that everyone ends up falling in love with someone on tour. Kenna fell in love with Patrick two years ago, when she was the soundboard director. Now look, they're married. Ellie dated one of the girls who helped with getting us in certain venues. It lasted a few months, but Ellie called it off. She didn't have time for relationships. And then there's me and Josh, at least, I think we're in love. As I slowly watched my train of thoughts fade away, I saw Josh behind the stage. "Hey babe! I love you!" I shouted at him, standing on the toes of my feet, being 5'2 and a half sucks. Josh glanced at me, and averted his eyes, running back stage. He's never done that with me before, he at least smiled back in the past. I turned around and decided just to walk it off, when I heard someone calling me. ANDI! ANDI! ANDI! WE FOUND FURRY EARS!" Ellie screamed. I was greeted by Kenna, who was wearing pink rabbit ears, Ellie, who was wearing white fox ears, and Ebennie, who was wearing purple cat ears. I laughed, when Ellie pulled out something from her pocket. In her hand, she held gray wolf ears. "To the dearly beloved Andrea Wolfe, we grant you Furry God." Ebennie and Kenna said together. They bowed to me while Ellie placed my crown behind my ears. They were all weird people, but I still loved them. "While I appreciate my beautiful furry ceremony, I mean it really is so great, Can I ask you guys something?" I said.
"Sure, go right ahead." Kenna answered, while everybody else shook their head in unison. I looked down and sighed. I met their gaze after a few seconds, and decided to ask my question. "Do you guys have any idea why Josh has been avoiding me? I mean, just last week we were saying our "I love you's." and now it seems like he's distancing himself from me." I blurted out. Ellie had a look of concern on her face, while the other two came up to me and hugged me.
"Maybe he's in love with Tyler." Ellie said, jokingly. All three of them giggled, flooding my ears. All I could hear was them laughing and Ellie's comment ringing in my ears. I touched my face, where I felt a warm tear streak down my face, landing on the tip of my nose. "I, I gotta go." I said. My hands were shaking and I was trembling. I was scared, scared out of my damn mind. I sprinted into the bathroom of the tour bus and locked myself in. I looked in the mirror. The reflection which was upon me had mascara running down its face, smudged eyeliner, and lipstick smeared. It took me a moment to realize it was me. I've never seen myself this heartbroken. I've put barriers around myself my entire life, I never really loved anyone I was dating. Josh was different, and that's why I can't let him go. I love him, I love him so fucking much.
