Chapter 23

Andy's P.O.V

We were all sat in my childhood home waiting for Melody to text or call or something.

Jack and Brook were doing a live.ly and Rye and Mikey had found something to occupy themselves but I just sat at the dining room table.

I wasn't sad or worried, I was mainly bored because it was almost 7pm but I soon jumped when a call came through.

Mel💍🌷 is calling...

I pressed answer quicker than I should've done and her voice flooded my ears.

M: Andyyy??

A: Hey, are you drunk?

M: noooo, Just tipsyyyyy. Anyway, Lydia and myself are heading out tonight for some drinks and we were wondering if you and the boys wanted to meet us?

She giggled at the end of the sentence and I knew that she had been drinking wine, she could handle vodka and beer but wine was one thing that got to her.

A: hold on a sec babe

"BOYSSSSS??" I shouted across the room and I heard a few "yeahs" back so I motioned for Brook or Jack to pause the live.ly.

"Hang on a second guys we'll be back in a minute" Jack stared before pausing the live.ly and now all the boys were looking.

"Do you guys fancy going out tonight with Mel and her friend?" They all cheered and clapped and Jack unpaused the live.ly.

"Guys we're gonna have to love and leave you but we'll be back on tomorrow !! Love you guys" he clicked end live.ly and all of the boys ran to use the shower

A: that's a yes from us

M: yayyy, I'll meet you guys at the revolution in an hour, may aswell start easy

A: okay, I'll see you soon

M: Andy?

A: yeah?

She paused for a moment until I heard her voice again.

M: I love you so much

A: I love you too

She said a quick bye and hung up the phone as a smile played on my lips.

I headed up to my bedroom and started to pick some stuff out as Rye joined me but he we stood leaning against the door frame, there was an obvious smile on his face too.

"You look happy" I raised my brows at him as he walked further into the room.

"I'm happy for you fovvs, you deserve someone like this in your life" he sat at the end of my bed and faced me, my back was resting against the headboard and my hands were resting on my knees.

"Rye, can we put everything that's happened behind us? I hate myself for hitting you, it's not what I'm like and I just felt so upset after it. I don't want to lose my best mate Rye"

I had tears in my eyes and they started to slowly fall when Rye pulled me into a hug.

"Andy I'm your brother. We've been here since the start, we've seen so much and been through so much together, we won't lose each other anytime soon and at least I know you can fight now, I always thought you were weak" we both laughed and pulled away as Brook walked into the room, a towel around his waist and a huge smile on his face.

"Showers free"

Rye and I looked at each other as I jumped up and ran towards the bathroom.

"SHOWER IS MINE NOW" I shouted as I locked the door and turned the water on, laughing at the sound of the boys groaning from the outside.
