Delay Our Misery

Chapter One

Andy was up in his apartment trying to finish writing the end of the last song for the new album, but all he could do was think about Juliet. She was out on another tour and by the time she gets back from this one he will be leaving for tour with his band, so he won't be able to talk to her much.

The last time they talked it turned into an argument, and this has been happening very often lately. All of this time away from each other was making their relationship drift farther apart . He had a concert tonight and this wasn't helping him with his sanity. He needs some fresh air.

Andy grabbed his cigarettes and his lighter that was given to him at a meet n' greet after a concert. She had it engraved. It reads, "Thanks for saving my life. I love you Andy! <3 Tabitha". He loves getting gifts from fans and tries to use them all to their fullest.

Andy started walking to the door when he passed a picture of him and Juliet and remembered how happy they use to be together. He pushed the picture forward so their faces were no longer visible, and quickly headed for the door.

Once he slammed the door he felt a little anger being pushed aside. He loves Juliet and knows that he will always love her but with them both being on major tours on and off it leaves them little to no time to be together, which was breaking what was left of his heart.

While holding his cigarettes and lighter he headed for the elevator.

As he walked out into the hallway he ran into Ashley.

"Shit! Ashley!"

"Sorry dude. Where you going to so fast?"

"Just out for a smoke."

"Dude, did you forget? We were suppose to be going out of a bros night to get your mind off of shit."

"Oh crap! Dude i forgot. Okay, I'm already dressed.... Just let me have a smoke real quick."

"You really need to quit, it will mess up your beautiful singing voice." Ashley mocked.

"Awe... Purdy boy thinks my voice is beautiful." Andy joked.

"Hahaha... Very funny, hurry up with your fucking cigarette."

"I will. Go inside and wait for me." At that Andy went straight to the elevator to go down to the smoking area in the lobby.

Ashley went into Andy's apartment and all he could think about was how messed up Andy has been lately. He has been distant from everyone in the band when he just really needs us the most. I feel so bad that the person i have been falling for (yes the Ashley Abrocket Purdy is bisexual. Not many people know because i don't want it to hurt the band in the long run, and i want to make sure the most important person in my life doesn't find out) is now sad about his relationship and i can't do nothing to make him better. 

Ashley began to look around the living room at all the pictures and saw a couple of just him and Andy while others of the whole band out at parties and bars and whatnot. There was still one picture he didn't look at and it was face down on the end table. Ashley walked over to pick it up. When he turned the frame around he noticed the glass was broken and it was a picture of Andy and Juliet from their first date.

"Awe, Andy. I just hope this gets better, even though its killing me."

"Huh."   Ashley didn't notice but Andy walk into the room.

Ashley jumped. "Way to scare the shit out of me Andy."

"Sorry. What is killing you?"

"Oh, i just don't like seeing you sad anymore. I know you love Juliet, but maybe it might be time to take a brake from one another." Ashley wanted to say yeah take a brake and be with me, but he knew that it would't ever happen. Let alone Andy is straight.

"Yeah, I've been thinking about it a lot too Ashes." Once Andy called me Ashes i just wanted to melt.

"Yeah, but we can't sit here and worry about all this now, lets go out and get your mind off of it and have some fun. Just me and you like the old days."

"Yeah, i guess."  And at that the guys headed out to Andy's car.
