I was woke up by Andy murmuring my name. I yawned and slightly opened my eyes. Andy was looking at me and smiling, which caused me to jump slightly. He saw me jump and laughed lightly. I blushed, and pushed my hair back. I yawned again and stretched my legs out and then my arms. I drew my knees up to my chest and cuddled the blanket up to me. Andy watched me the entire time.

"You're cute when you sleep. You're cute when you wake up. You're just cute." and said in a low voice. He reached his hand up and scratched his forehead. I looked down at my feet, and then glanced back up at him.

I smiled back at him, "You're pretty cute to y'know." he face was tinted pink.

At that moment, a nurse walked in, "Oh good, you're awake. How're you feeling this morning hun?"

Andy looked at her, "Well, as good as I can be at this moment, I guess."

The nurse continued with her business and didn't skip a beat, "You go into surgery in 30 minutes. We're going to start prepping you now," she then glanced at me, "you might want to get something to eat in the cafeteria."

I shook my head, "I'll eat while he's in surgery, but I'm spending every minute up until that time with him."

The nurse just nodded her head. She started to help Andy get up into a sitting position. It hurt me to see him wincing with pain. I couldn't keep my eye off his blood soaked bandage. She checked his breathing and then stood him up. I jumped up so he could lean on me. The nurse nodded her head in thanks.

"Hun, we have to change him into different scrubs, so you do with that information what you will." I sat in the chair, it was nothing I hadn't seen before. The nurse took off his previous scrubs and put them in a bag. I looked at Andy's face and he was blushing deeply. He was clearly embarrassed. She helped him put on the different scrubs. I then assisted her with helping him back onto the bed.

The next 15 minutes was a rush of different nurses coming in and performing different jobs, Andy and I stole a glance at eachother at any break of the rush. Before I knew it, they were telling me to leave because he was going in surgery. I walked over and kissed him, and then walked out into the hallway. I proceeded to the cafeteria, although I didn't want to eat, Andy would be upset if I didn't.

I don't know how long I had been waiting for them to come and tell me I could see him, but come they did. They just let me know that the surgery had been successful and that he'd be going home today. They instructed me to wait and that he'd be out soon.

Soon my butt. It was 2 hours before he came limping out. I jumped up and rushed to him. I felt my phone buzz and saw that it was Jinxx telling me they're here. We signed Andy out and I helped him walk out.

The guys saw us coming out and rushed to help us out. We got him into the backseat, and because of lack of room, he strewn across me and Jinxx and Ashley was sitting on the middle console in the front. Andy was trying to have fun. The guys were joking, trying to keep us all out of the awkward silence of what had happened.

We pulled up to the hotel, and Jake and Jinxx propped Andy up and helped him into the elevator. The ride wasn't long, and before we knew it, we were in mine and Andy's room laughing and joking. Other than the fact that Andy couldn't stand, it was like nothing had happened. I checked the time and saw it was time for Andy to take his painkillers, so admist all the joke cracking, I got up and grabbed his pill bottle and a water bottle. I took it over and Andy thanked me, and swallowed the pill and the water.

Jake started telling a story, and I had Andy's head propped up on my leg, and he looked up at me and smiled. His blue eyes were shining, and I couldn't have broke my gaze if I tried, but Jake tripped over the chair and it caused us all to look and laugh. Jake was just laying on the floor, laughing with his hands covering his face.

Jinxx threw a pillow at him and Jake sat up and gave him a puppy dog face. We all stopped and then busted out laughing again.

Eventually, they all calmed down and departed to do their daily activities since we'd have to stay in in California longer due to Andy's injury and to make up the show.

Andy sat up and we looked at eachother, his hand was resting on my thigh. "Let's go sight-seeing." How romantically cheesy, but I agree'd anyway. We hired a tour cart, and the man took us all over, and we pointed with sarcastically over-enthusiastic looks on our faces. It was the most genuine fun we've had between just the two of us.

We were going into a housing district. We were passing tons of houses, and Andy told the man to stop. Andy grabbed my hand and wobbled out of the cart telling the man we'd be right back, and handed him some money. He lead me to the sidewalk, infront of a moderately nice sized house.

"There." He said, pointing at the house. I looked at him, confused, and to clear up my confusion, he squeezed my hand, "There is where we'll start the rest of our lives. I want to move into this house with you."

I looked at him, my face practically glowing, "You act..."

He finished it for me, "as if I planned this, well that's because I did. There were some minor complications," he gestured to his leg, "but I managed to talk my dad into lending me the money temporarily. I already have a down payment on it, I just need you."

I stared at him, I couldn't fully comprehend what he was saying, but I realize he was waiting for an answer and I was standing there like an idiot, "Yes! Of course I will, but my stuff."

"Don't worry. I talked to my parents and they talked to your parents and they're packing our stuff and will be driving it here. I've got this all figured out."

I tapped my foot, "What about the guys, it'll be hard having a band that's split up like that."

He just shook his head, "Its all under control. They're going to be staying with us temporarily until they get their own places. Come on, let's go inside."

He lead me up the porch steps of this very chic yet modest house, that was ours. He opened the door, and held it for me.

The house opened up into a big main room, that was seperated by stairs, and on the back wall was an arch way that had the kitchen hidden behind it. We walked back to the kitchen, and there was another flight of stairs that lead into the basement. We walked back out and I helped Andy up the stairs. Upstair there was three bedrooms and and two bathrooms.

We walked into the master bedroom, and Andy wrapped his arms around me, "This is ours." he kissed my temple, which sent shivers down my spine.

Andy's phone went off, it was his dad. He walked out, and I followed him. He clicked his phone shut and smiled at me. "This time tomorrow, our house," he paused, getting the full feeling of us living together, "will be full of boxes. As we take the first major step in our life together."

He kissed me, enterlacing his fingers in mine, and we stayed, just like this.
