promise me

Chapter four

(Caroline's pov)
We left my house and headed straight towards the air port. As I finally collect myself and wiped the tears from my eyes Andy's soft hand falls to my leg.
"You alright? he didn't hurt you did he?" he ask taking his eyes off the road to look at me and I can see tears build behind his eyes.
"I'm ok i probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for you though so thank you." I say as I wrap my fingers in with his.
"No one will ever hurt you again now that I'm here." he squeezes my hand a little tighter as we turn onto the exit to the airport. "I promise"
My heart starts beating faster all of this is real. I'm getting away from him and I'm getting on a plan with andy to go out to calli. We pull into the parking area as he kisses my head softly and loads our things onto a baggage cart.
we walk into the main part of the airport and I trail behind andy making sure I keep my distance I don't want to make him uncomfortable. He notices that I am walking behind him and grabs my hand pulling me equal with him. Making my heart flutter in my chest.
"I'm not ashamed of you Caroline. you can walk by me. I want you to walk by me." I nod letting a smile take me over. we board our plane and my body goes tense. iv never flown before iv always been to scared.

(Andy's pov)
Once we get into our seats Caroline's smile fades and her muscles go tense. I entangle my fingers with hers pulling her close to me rubbing the top of her hand as she lays her head on my shoulder.
"It will be okay. he doesn't even know where your going he will never find you and even if he did I'll be there to protect you along with the rest of the band. Once they meet you they'll love you just like... they'll love you."
I almost just said I loved her. but I can't love her I just met her but already she means so much to me.
"That's not it andy." she chokes out.
"I'm afraid of flying." she breaks out in a soft sob followed by slow deep breathing. I hold her head tight to my chest and softly pet her hair trying to comfort her the best I can but in all honesty I don't know how to comfort someone who is facing there fears. her breathing starts to even out and she relaxes. I wipe the tears off of her checks and notice that She has fallen asleep. I settle myself into my seat and try to relax we have along flight ahead of us so I should try to get some sleep while I can.
We both slept until the plan landed in cali. I told cc that I was returning tonight and asked if he could pick me up. it's about 10:30 as our plane lands shaking Caroline awake. she rubs her sleepy eyes as we wait for our pilot to tell us that we are able to leave. when we leave the plane cc is waiting for me at the gate. "andy!!!!" he screams as he runs up to me hugging me.
"we were really worried you weren't going to come back... why do you have a pink bag dude?" he ask looking at Caroline's bag in my hand.
"It's hers. cc this is Caroline. Caroline this is cc" i say introducing them.
"Very nice to meet you" he says with a smile.
"Time to give her back her bag though andy. all the guys are waiting back home and we really should be going." he says trying to take her bag from my hand.
"Uhh CC she's actully coming back with us. she's going to live with us for awhile." I say scratching the back of my head
"Well where will she stay?" he ask worried.
"In my room." I say as I place my arm around her back and begin walking toward the car.
"Thank you" she whispers into my ear as we get into the car.
I sit in the back with her as we ride back to the place. she must be really tired after the day she's had because she has fallen asleep on my shoulder.
"The bags can wait till tomorrow but could you open the doors for me? she's fallen asleep again and I don't want to wake her up." I say as we pull up to the house that I have missed so much.
He nods as he puts the car into park.
I slide her onto my lap and place one arm under her legs and the other supporting her back trying carefully not to wake her up. we get out the car without a problem. once I step inside the grunt door with a strange girl in my arms after iv been missing all of the guys flock to me.
"shhh I'll explain just let me get her into bed first she's had a very long few days." I say as they all nod clearing out of my way. once in my bed room I put her in one of my old band ts. she's so beautiful I feel awful seeing all of the bruises the litter her body. I tuck her into the covers and shut my door. how am I going to explain the to the guys?
