Are You With Me..(An Andy Biersack Story)

Ok, hi, so I'm new on here and thought I'd see how it goes. I love BVB and Sixx AM. I should say that I own none of the characters and this is a work of fiction. Please comment. If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks to anyone thant reads this. Hope you enjoy. 

Are you with me now

Come back from the dead

You've been inside your head for too long

Are you with me now

Find the places that scare you

C'mon I dare you

Are you with me

The club was packed as people danced and drank. Toni sang the last few bars with her eyes closed as the music filled her and, as always, she got lost in the song.

"Thank you for coming," she said to the crowd as the applause and whistling died down. " I hope you had a great night and we hope to see you again soon." All of the band stood together and took a bow and waved as they left the stage.

"dammit we were good tonight." Marty said proudly. He was a well built guy about 5'10" with hair that fell in curls around his sweaty head. "Hell yeah, we killed it." said a guy from under a towel. He was about the same height and build but had short blonde hair. "What do you say Toni?" he turned to the 5' 7" brunette sitting in front of a mirror with a blank expression. "yo, Toni?"

Toni's bubble popped and she came back to reality. "Huh, oh yeah, great night."

"What's the matter?" asked Marty.

"He was here."

"Who?"

"Benny"

"Fuck. Where?"

"In the crowd." Toni looked down and took a deep breath stopping the memories from coming back. " I’m gonna go and get some air." She got up and walked towards the door.

"Do you want us to come with?" said Ash who had come out from under the towel.

"Nah, I'll be good." Toni smiled and left.

"She'll be ok, won't she?" Ash asked, still looking at the door.

"Yeah, she'll be ok." Marty replied, trying to convince himself as much as Ash.

Toni walked out into the cool night air and was met by plenty of greetings and compliments. As the crowd died down, a deep voice over her shoulder said, "You shouldn't be playing dives like this."

Without looking around, Toni answered, "Thanks, but it's all we've got unless you're going to make me an offer."

"I might just do that."

Toni smiled and turned. " Go on then, wha....Holy shit!"

The 6' 3" skinny guy dressed in black and with short black hair gave out a deep chuckle.

" You're Andy Biersack. Dude, what are you doin here?"

"We're doing a festival nearby tomorrow, I thought I'd check out the competition.

"I don't think you have any worries there. You guys are amazing!"

"Thanks, not so bad yourself." They both smiled. " Do you want something to drink?" Andy offered.

"Thanks, I'd love a beer."

You wait here I'll be back in a sec." with a smile, Andy walked back into the club. Toni smiled to herself.

"Hey, bitch!" A voice came from across the car park. "We need to talk!"

"No we don't." Toni said to the 5'8" guy dressed in blue jeans and a t shirt striding towards her. "We're over! We have been for months. Get it through you thick skull!"

His arm shot out and Toni hit the wall. With his hand on her chest, he got close enough for her to smell the beer on his breath, " I never said it was over."

"Get your fucking hands off her!" Andy's deep voice came from next to Toni.

" Oh Toni, you got yourself a bodyguard?"

"Fuck you!" Toni spat in his face which earnt her a smack in the face. The hand left her chest and she looked up to find Andy standing over a heap on the floor. She pushed herself off the wall and walked up to Andy, gently taking his arm. "Leave him alone, he's not worth it." Toni pulled Andy back into the club and into the changing room backstage.

"Are you going to tell me who that prick was?" he asked, sitting on a small sofa.

Toni grabbed some ice out of a bucket with a bottle in and put it in a towel. She winced as she put it to the side of her face. "That was a ex who won't accept he's an ex. His name is Benny." She sat on the sofa opposite Andy and looked to him. "I'm sorry you got involved."

"Not a problem." he smiled, " I enjoyed it." They both laughed.

"So back to that offer you were going to make me?" Toni sat back and looked at Andy, almost getting lost in how blue and gorgeous his eyes were. " Well, how about coming to support us for a few gigs?"

" Are you shitting me?" Toni replied. Andy laughed. "We do covers and we have no experience outside of clubs."

"Well now's your chance, what do you say?"

"I'd say hell yeah, but I need to ask the guys. Is it ok if I get back to you?"

"Sure, heres my number." Andy said as he scrawled he number on the corner of a magazine. "Just one condition."

"O....Kay?" Toni said, nervously.

"Don't bring the asshole." He motioned outside.

"Deal!" Toni said and they both burst out laughing.

Suddenly the door burst open, "Hey, Toni, we finally found Jerry." Marty was helping a guy in the door. He was slightly smaller than him and his dark brown hair fell in front of his eyes.

"Mobbed....." he panted "T shirt... Gone."

He fell forward as Marty moved forward, "Your the singer, in that band you're always listening to." He said, pointing from Andy to Toni and back again. " Danny?"

Andy chuckled.

"Marty this is ANDY, Andy please forgive my ignorant bass player, Marty." The guys shook hands.

"Hey, Toni, I just saw something really fucking..." Ash stopped as he walked in the door. "Shit!"

"Andy this is Ash. He plays lead and swears too much. Ash meet Andy. Oh and I'm Toni."

"Glad to meet you." He said shaking hands and sitting next to Toni. "What happened to you?" He asked, gently moving the cold towel to reveal a purple bruise underneath.

Toni glared her I-am-not-talking-about-this look. Andy broke the silence, "Asshole outside."

Toni giggled, " Being as its one of those rare occasions that we are all here and semi sober, how do you guys feel about doing some proper gigs?"
