Behind the Pain

Helping each other out

Marshall P.O.V

I never thought Royce would be right about something, but as much as I hate to deny it there were some kind of attraction towards Andrea. Now don't get me wrong it's not like I have feelings for her or want to date her l, I'm just admitting that I do feel something majority of the times we hang out. But it's probably just happening because Royce decided to notice something that didn't even exist, but since him mentioning something all I can think about when I'm with her are his comments making me very curious as to the possibilities.

These last couple of weeks have been going good since we returned from London, Andrea and I have been getting along really well and I try so hard to push Royce's comments that always pop into my head whenever I am with her, and try to act as calm as i possibly can since I seemed to get nervous a lot and tend to make a fool out of myself, in normal positions I wouldnt give a shit of what people think of me but Andrea I seem to care what her opnions of me are.

" So we head to switzerland, scotland and Ireland in July" I said while sitting on the side of her desk and studying the schedule Andrea has organised for me for July, like always she has done really well she knew I really wanted to perform again in Scotland and somehow she has managed to organise three massive Festivals that I can headline and than manage to get home before my weeks starts with my girls.

" yeah and than the next massive Festival is in September with the Home and Home tour plus the Epicenter Festival in California" She replied sitting in her chair in front me, organising the last couple of interviews that I need to know about so I can organise things with kim.

" sounds good" I mumbled while trying to make sure I have all the dates I need to know. For the past Half and Hour I have worked with Andrea organising things so I dont have any clashes and since she knows exactly what my priorities its seems to work out pretty well.

The last 5 mintues as we talked about things I heard her phone ring about 3 times, I noticed that she heard it to but didnt want to answer it just in case I didnt like her talkng on the phone while at work, but its not like the guys arent on their phone 24/7.

" you can answer that" I stated after the phone started to ring for the sixth time, whoever is trying to contact her seems pretty desperate, so seeing the wary look on her face I lean across and grab her phone and pass it to her, trying to show her is okay if she can answer it.

" thanks" she smiled softly taking the phone from me and placing it to her ear as I went back to looking at my tour scehdule date while waiting for her. As I pretended to be actually studying the sheets I couldnt help but take this time to actually listen to her on the phone and I couldnt help but notice her voice change from being happy to being stressed. I heard her mention her Ex's name a couple of time so I'm guessing its something to do with her sons, but by the way they talked the more she seemed to get angry and very stressed.

" everything alright?" I asked when she finally placed the phone day, from her expressions I can tell she is annoyed and frustrated about something.

" Yeah" She mumbled not looking at me because she knows I will be able to see the stress on her face and the worry that she is feeling but doesnt feel like she can tell me.

" Andrea......" I repeated knowing she will be able to tell straight away that I can tell something is up, this is what happens all the time we talk and than she feels like she cant tell me certain things, so thats when I know I have to reassure her that I'm willing to listen.

" I just have to call Jordan to look after the boys this afternoon, Apparently Dan has to work straight away and he needs someone to take them for the night" Andrea finally answered me telling me how he Ex needs to workk and wants Andrea to mind them for the night, but the way she is looking she doesnt want to call Jordan, which is understandable since Jordan is a Doctor and has constant night shifts.
