Wake Me Up

Chapter 29

Andy's POV: Everyone arrived to our set just in time but with smiles and laughs amongst them. Halsey simply rubbed my back, "I know the feeling." I gave her a small smile before going to get my microphone. Monica had Faith in her arms, "she's worth fighting for," Halsey told me. "W-what do you mean?" "Faith. She's worth fighting for Andy." "O-oh yea, she is."

Our set was incredible today. I think it had to do with everyone being in a good mood. We got off stage sweating puddles. "You were great!" Monica said as she hugged Dave. "Thanks," he said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Did she just blush? Okay, this needs to stop. Now. Just as she was about to say anything, I took Faith from her arms. "Hey um what are you doing?" She asked in a pissed off tone. "Spending time with my daughter," before she could run after me, I ran to the bus. Faith was laughing the whole way.

"How was your day sweetie?" I asked as we walked to the back lounge. "Good, uncle Dave and Monica kept giving each other hugs. He even acted like you papa! He acted like a papa!" What she said upset me. In a few minutes she fell fast asleep, I set her down on the couch and put pillows around her.

I walked out of the back lounge and went to the front lounge. Dave was sitting next to Monica and looking at her the same way I used to. "Hey! I dont need you guys flirting around my daughter!" I told both of them. "What are you talking about?" Monica asked as she scoffed. "Faith told me that you guys kept hugging, and that Dave was acting like a Dad. What the heck? Know your place Escamilla!"

"So what if hugged a lot? It doesn't matter. You dont have a say in what I do. So you should learn YOUR place before you tell me about mine. I don't take orders from you," with that Monica got up and went to her bunk while Caity followed behind. "LOOK Andy, I want to be a Dad more than anything so im sorry if my emotions of that came off to your daughter," with that Dave walked off to his bunk too, which was actually Bailey's old bunk.

"My gosh can you just stop bro! You're seriously just digging up dumb excuses to fight. You're changing and none of us like it. Dave was just being nice to your daughter and you should be lucky he was because he seems like a better father than you already," Brandon said as he stormed off while Brent and Hayden followed too. Alone. Again.

Monica's POV : First he brings that freaking blue chick, then he tries to fight me for custody, THEN he tries to tell me how to live. Like my gosh, does he think he owns me?!" I shouted as i punched the ceiling of my bunk. "I don't know. Andy's just changing a lot. No even really likes him anymore." "He's a drunk, Caity. He has anger issues. He seeks for attention. Its just too much." "I hope you win." "I better win." "Dam.n right girl." "Well i better get going to top's van before they take off. I just came in here to chill for a little bit but now im pissed." "Yea, I'll see you tomorrow though, okay? I'll make sure Faith's okay." "Thanks, love you Caity." With that I got out of my bunk and headed for the front door, that is until Andy blocked me. "Where do you think you're going?" "Up your butt, now move." "Nope." "My gosh Andy! YOU DON'T FREAKING OWN ME! Just leave me alone, now if you'll excuse me i have to go." I lightly shoved him out of the way before he pushed me on the couch and slapped me. It was really loud that everyone came out from their bunks.

I could feel my cheek heating up from where he slapped me. It stung so bad. I felt tears streaming down my face. "Why'd you hit me?" I asked in a low whimper. Andy shook his head, "I-I what?" He didn't know he hit me? Before i could act upon my thoughts, Dave tackled him to the ground. Caity came by my side, "shhh it's okay." She said hugging me and rocking me. "Brent go get Faith now!" Caity ordered him. He nodded and got my daughter. He handed her to me and with that I rushed off the bus. I could hear the various screams, "Mama what's going on?" Faith asked as she rubbed her eyes. "Nothing, we're just going with Uncle Josh and Tyler.

We made to their van, "Where have you been?" Josh asked. "Getting slapped by Andy..." I said in a low whisper. "HE WHAT?!" Josh yelled. I told Tyler and Josh everything. "He needs help," Tyler said. Josh and I nodded. Josh pulled me into a hug, "im just glad nothing else happened."

NEXT DAY

I was emotionally drained. I was left with Faith sleeping in the seats in front of me. How stupid enough did I have to be in order to still love the man that took my virginity, slept with my ex best friend, got drunk a lot, has anger issues, slept around, seeked revenge on me, trying to take away my daughter, and hit me for the first time...it was definitely the last time he would though. No one was in the cooling van. Just Faith and I. Josh, Tyler, and the crew were all busy with warped tour stuff. I just really hated life right now.

Andy's POV: I woke up and tried making myself cereal before Caity spoke up, "What's wrong with you?" "Um im making cereal?" "You slapped Monica yesterday! She's a woman and the mother of your daughter! And my best friend! How could you do that to her you lowlife, good for nothi-!" "Caity!" Hayden yelled at her. "Sorry babe, its just even his presence bothers me." "What do you mean I hit Monica," i asked. Why would she accuse me of that? I would never do that. "Dont play dumb, Dave tackled you after." "Um, I really don't remember any of that..." "are you serious?" "Yea..." "oh my gosh...Andy maybe you should go to a doctor or something." "I-I'm going to catering." But really I was heading to the medical tent.

"Hello andrew," the nurse said her name was Coral. "Coral um i think there's something wrong with me. You see I can't remember this huge thing that happened yesterday. I think i might have blacked out...." "let me check on you."

"So turns out you're done but you haven't eaten nutrients. When was the last time you ate?" "I don't remember exactly but I think a couple days ago." It could be something that is distracting you. But you're good to go just take it easy and remember to eat Andrew." I thanked her and walked to back my bus. I can't believe i had forgotten to eat. The custody battle and all this drama with Monica must have affected me in ways I didn't even know could.

I was walking to back to the bus when someone bumped into me, "oh my gosh I'm so sorry," the said. I recognized that voice anywhere. "Monica we need to talk," I said as I reached over to grab her shoulders but she backed away as if she was scared. "Andy. Don't." "Please, can we just talk. I didn't mean to hit you. My anger...it got the best of me. I didn't even remember hitting you. I blacked out because I haven't been eating." "It's best if we don't talk anymore," with that she walked away.
