  Note:I was listening to HIM, & when this song came up, I thought how perfect it went with the story. To me, it describes how Andy & Ruthy long for each other but neither one has a clue about the other. So in this case, Ruthy is Joy & Andy is Sorrow. Reason is, all Ruthy wants is love. Of Course, Andy wants it too but always ends up with a broken heart. So in a way, he's Sorrow.

"Oh girl, we are the same

we are young & lost & so afraid

here's no cure for the pain

no shelter from the rain

all our prayers seem to fail"

"About Ruthy..." Jake trailed off, looking away from me. My heart stopped & so did my breathing.

"Jake, whatever it is, tell me. I need to know." He smiled weakly, but it wasn't enough to calm my nerves.

    "A group of guys ganged up on her & beat  her pretty bad. When someone found her, she was barely breathing."  The river of emotion was at the tip of my throat. I couldn't fight back the tears. Soon, Jake, Jinxx, Ashley, & CC were hugging me.

"Andy," Jinxx whispered, "don't worry, she's fine. Luckily, they got her here just in time." They all pulled away just when the doctor walked in.

    "Biersack? Where is Andrew Biersack?" I stepped forward, he looked at me from head to toe. I felt strange standing there with my boots, skinnies, & studded vest. Sadly, the vest didn't fully cover my naked chest.

"Ah yes, well, she was extremely lucky. She has a couple of nasty bruises & cuts. Her stomach is badly bruised which makes it difficult for her to breathe but she's managing. She also has severe lacerations to her wrists & forearms. We stopped the bleeding just in time to insert the stitches. And-"

"Please Doctor, don't tell me anymore." I mumbled. "I just need to see her." He nodded silently, & gave me the room number. I take one look at the boys, they all give me reassuring smiles which makes me smile.

    I didn't reconize Ruthy when I saw her. Bandages were wrapped around her forearms, she had a black eye, busted lip & small cuts on her face. Her eyes were closed, tubes were coming out of her mouth, & nose. Tears tugged at the corners of my eyes. I pulled up a chair next to her bed & sat down, buring my face into my hands.

    "I know you probably can't hear me," I whisper, "but, I want you to know, Ruthy, that I love you. I've always loved you & I'll continue loving you until my last dying breath. Nothing will change that...ever. I know you'll probably never forgive me for leaving you, but believe me, I wanted to stay so fucking much. I guess I was just blind with the idea of being in a rock n' roll band & living out my dream, that I didn't see that that's not what I wanted. I wanted to be with you & I still do. Not a day goes by that I never think about that night."

    "I'll never make that mistake again, I promise. Will all my undying love."  I look at Ruthy, her eyes still remained closed. I kicked off my boots & layed down next to her, wrapping my arms around her gently. My head rested on top of hers, I hoped this could last forever.

    "I don't know what I did to deserve you, I really don't," I whisper into her hair, "but I do know, that I will never leave you again." I close my eyes, with my girl finally in my arms.

 Ruthy's POV

    I open my eyes & feel arms draped around my body. Andy's sleeping face comes into view. The feeling in my arms slowly retrieve, but it isn't a pleasant feeling. The room is quiet, beeping from the machine next to my bed echoes through out the room. A couple of minutes later, Andy open his gorgeous blue eyes. I look up at him, he sees me & smiles big. I smile back.

"Hi," he says in a low voice, kissing my forehead & hugging me softly.

"Hi," I say, closing my eyes with a smile on my face.

"Are you mad?" I ask, too afraid to look at Andy's face.

"None of that matters. What matters, is that I'm here with you & that's never gonna change." I smile & kiss his lips softly.

"You need to rest, Babe." He says, pulling me closer to his chest, my face burying into his neck. I close my eyes & dift into a dreamless sleep.

Sorry that it was short/not good. I wasn't feeling well & I couldn't come up with any ideas
