This Skeleton Boy -Andy Biersack-

Chapter Seven:Lose You Tonight

Uh-oh, what happen now? Man, they can never get a break can they? Oh, & expect an unexpected visitor :3

"Don't run away
I never wanted to hurt you
Please stay
& I'll learn to treat you right"

-Five Days Later-

"Ruthy, baby, please listen to me! I promise you, none of it meant anything, I swear!" Andy pleaded, tears overflowing his eyes like a broken dam.

    "None of it meant anything? I walked in on you fucking some strange girl & you're telling me it didn't mean anything?! How fucking stupid do you think I am, Andy?" The incident at Ashley's that happened just merely hours ago replayed in my mind over & over again, adding more gasoline to the flame of my anger.

   "Ruth-Ann," After all these bitter years, I could never forget the way he said my first name, he'd speak to me as if I was still a child.  "it was a mistake, a stupid, drunken, mistake. We all had a little too much to drink &-"

    "Yeah? Well I didn't fuck everything that moved now did I? Just admit it, Andrew, this is a mistake. We being together is a mistake. It'd be better off if we just stopped right now...all of this." He didn't respond, he just stood there, silent for a few moments.

    "I cant believe I've lived all my life without you. How the hell am I gonna survive if we're not together anymore ?" he asked, his voice shook with sadness & regret.

"Ruthy, please, give me one more chance. Baby, I promise I can change."

    "Get out..." I whisper, pointing to the crimson door that led to dark outside world. He didn't move, or spoke. I opened my mouth, but before I could get a sentence out, Andy's lips came crashing into mine & he was kissing me forcefully. I tried so hard to resist,  fortunately,it worked. He pulled away & hugged me.

"I'm not gonna lose you tonight."

"Get out..." I repeated, not hugging back, or looking in his direction. His grip released, & he was gone. The tears finally gave in & released themselves from my clouded eyes. That night, I cried as if it was that night all over again.

-Andy's POV- -Two weeks later-

"I am dead to you, a shadow doomed. My love forever in the dark & of all untruths, the truest is you.
Too close to my heart, my love."  I sing to myself, forever consumed in the darkness of my room. Is this how I will wallow in my pity? Sitting in my dark bedroom, slipping into a HIM coma? Surely, I was better than that. I wasn't, I knew better. Light painted my room with a golden glow, in my doorway, stood four tall figures. I didn't move or said a word. A cold hard hand gripped my shoulder.

    "Andy? C'mon man, snap of it." I knew that voice too well to ignore-Ashley. He draped one of my arms around his shoulders, while my other arm was around Jinxx's. With my feet dragging on the floor, they led me to the living room & put me down on the recliner.  None of us said a word for a couple of minutes. But when we did, it was Jake who broke the silence.

    "We checked on Ruthy before we came. She's.....not doing so well. You two need to work things out." I let out a long sigh, & reached for my lighter & cigarettes.

"I need a smoke." I mumbled & walked out into the rainy night.

-Ruthy's POV, an hour earlier-

    I have been drowned in tears for the past two weeks. If it wasn't for the unexpected knock at my door, I wouldn't have stopped my tears. I wiped my blood-shot eyes & opened it. I was greeted by cold rainy air & a warm embrace. A smile danced across my lips as I returned the embrace.

"Hi, Ashley."  I chime, pulling away from his hug. He returned the favor with a smile.

"I just had to see you before the guys did. How are you feeling?" I shrug.

"The question is:How am I not feeling? To answer that question,  I'm not feeling great. I miss him, Ash. But I think it's not worth giving it another try."

"Well, you could always give us another try." He said teasingly, making me smile. I shake my head.

"Ashley, that was a year ago. Besides, you haven't...told him, have you?" He stood silent for a few minutes, before giving me an answer.

    "Of course not, none of them know. Sure, they've asked a couple of times, but I told them that we're just really good friends. Besides, I wouldn't want to ruin your & Andy's relationship....what's left of it anyway." I stood there, deep in thought. Memories of my childhood with Andy took control of my attention.

 "I better go, the guys will be wondering where I am." Ashley gave me one last hug as a goodbye.

"Oh & Ruthy?" He looks at me, one foot out the door, the other still in place. "You should give him one last chance. It's been ages since he's been this happy." The door shuts behind him, leaving me alone once again.
