Adopted By Andy Biersack [Discontinued Version]

Chapter Nine

Amethyst's P.O.V.

After a while of Andy, Juliet and the guys asking Jace questions, like how old he was, how long we had been friends.. That sort of thing. We all had to go to bed, considering we were gonna go to another concert tomorrow..

"'Okay, Jace. Your sleeping on one of the couches, since there isn't any more bunks.." Andy said, Jace nodded. Andy gave Jace some blankets and a pillow and Jace laid down on one of the couches. I hugged Jace goodnight, then Jake, then Ashley, CC, Jinx, Juliet and Andy. I went into the bathroom, I took a short shower, took all of my makeup off, got dressed in a black baggy shirt, dark blue pajama pants and thick, white socks.

I literally jumped into my bunk, I heard some silent laughter. I took out my iPod and earphones and listened to Heaven Knows by The Pretty Reckless quietly, I turned on my side, away from the curtain. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but after a while I gave up and turned off the music. I opened my curtain and quietly jumped down, only a small thump was able to be heard.

I went to the kitchen area and got out a cup, I poured some hot/warm water and drank some. Hot/warm water always helped me go to sleep, I felt the water go down my throat and slowly into my stomach. It was very relaxing, but I didn't feel any different. I sighed and leaned on the counter, I drank the rest of the water and waited for the drowsiness to come, I sighed after a while. I felt the same as before.

I put a hand on my face and sighed again, I felt arms wrap themselves around my waist. At first I thought it was a drunken Ashley portraying me as one of the many girls he supposedly has sex with on tour. But when I turned around I saw a wide awake Jace, he looked a little worried.

"What is it, love?" Jace asked.

I sighed yet again. Glad that Ashley hadn't gotten drunk, it had happened before but he when looked straight into my eyes he realized what he was doing and gone to a sort-of-sober state. Andy knew and had warned the guys, they completely understood why Andy was protective and mad, they would be if they were a father of a thirteen year old girl. "I just can't sleep." I said, chuckling a little.

"Why did you look.. Worried?" Jace asked, searching for the correct word to use.

"Uh, I thought you might've been a drunken Ashley thinking I was one of the many girls he supposedly sleeps with on tour." I explained, I felt Jace's aura have a ting of.. Anger?

"Has that happened before?" Jace asked.

"A couple times, both of them Ashley had sobered up and realized who I was and apologized. He didn't 'do' anything, don't be mad. Or worried." I reassured, looking into Jace's eyes.

"Good, I don't like the thought of you being hurt or.. Treated like that.." Jace said, pulling me closer to him into a type-of hug.

"Anyway, why aren't you asleep?" I asked, pulling away. Jace chuckled, remembering that I didn't know much about vampires.

"Vampires apparently don't sleep, I was pretending to sleep when you jumped from your bunk and went to drink some water. Why aren't you sleeping, my little human?" Jace joked which I laughed at.

"You definitely haven't changed, Jace. And, I couldn't sleep. Warm water usually helped but for some reason, now it isn't working." I said.

Jace chuckled, he went and held my hands. "I could.. Maybe, help with that...?" Jace said, looking at me gently. As if I would break if his gaze shone any sign of... well, I guess you could say harshness. I blushed slightly at this, he was asking if he could join me in my bunk.

"Sure.." I said, Jace smiled a little and picked me up bridal style with no effort. I tried not to squeal in surprise but let out gasp and clutched his shirt, since he was tall - for me anyway - and me not being used to being tall.. I'm just slightly scared of heights. but I felt so safe in Jace's arms that it was almost no problem for me.
