I woke up and started crying, uncontrollably. I held my knees to my chest and turned over on my side. Today's the day I go back home...

I get up with no motivation in the world, and walk to the bathroom. I start up the shower and get in. I took a long one, the majority of the time I say there, just thinking.

It had only been two days since Disney Land, and I wish I could go back to them. Did mike know I was sixteen? What if he finds out and we never talk again? What if I never talk to any of them again? What if the forget me? What if Andy forgets me...

I turn off the water, brushing my hair, keeping it down, and letting it dry curly. Then I do a full face of natural makeup with neutral eyeshadow, and brown lipstick. Then I put on my undergarments before sliding into yellow off the shoulder top, with my black high tops, and ripped jean shorts.

I pack up all my bags and get organized, then drag them out by the door.

"Good morning" Andy says quietly and i turn towards him with a small smile

"Good morning"

"It's about a five an a half hour drive so we gotta leave in about thirty minutes" He Says

"Okay" I nod then change the topic "I got a lot more signatures then I expected to on my shirt"

Andy smiles softly "Who's did you get?"

"Everyone in Pennywise, Pierce The Veil, Black Veil Brides, All Time Low, Waterparks, and 3oh!3, then Jenna from Tonight Alive, Danny Worsnop, Ben Bruce, Ronny Radke's, Chris Morionless, Ricky Horror, and a few others"

"Damn" Andy's smile widens

"Yeah" I nod "Thank you so much, that night of you weren't there this would have never happened"

"Actually if that girl was never mean to you, you would have never ran side stage. Sometimes bad things happen for a good reason" he tells me "This May seem bad now, that your leaving. But it's for the best, you need your family, and friends, but I promise you, I will see you again"

My eyes start watering, and I hug Andy. But soon we find ourselves in the car where we spend our last hours together, and sadly the first of our last hours were spent in silence, no radio or anything. Then soon it got sickening, and he turned on the radio, which came on as Iron Man by Black Sabbath.

"I know how to play this song" I whisper

"I know, you played it at Warped" he smiles at me and I look down at my lap

"Yeah"

Flashback***

"Ozzy's lost his mind, can he see or is he blind?" I sing into the mic, but then the mic cuts out. I keep singing though, and playing guitar, because at least that's coming through. Then whenever the mic situation is fixed it'll catch back up "iron man lives again!" The mic is back on and I'm so relived

End of Flashback***

"You know a lot of people wouldn't have been able to keep preforming" he tells me

"Yeah" I nod

"I'm happy you came, your gonna do great things I hope you know" he tells me, putting his hand over mine "One day I'm gonna be retired, too old to play, but I'm till gonna come to your concerts"

I want to cry but I'm holding it back. I'm almost wheezing, but I hold it back.

Another hour of silence passes, and it's invariable. I look out the window, seeing a sign that says San Francisco 118miles 2h 15m.

It's been another hour, and Andy finally says, "Amanda I'm not gonna waist the hour I have left with you sitting in silence"

"Well what do you want me to say?" I snap

"I don't know"

"Well I don't know either" I tell him

"What was your favorite part of Warped Tour?" He asks after a few minutes of tabbing his fingers on the steering wheel

"You guys" I answer honestly "You guys made everything special, and it wouldn't have been the same without you"

"I think you were my favorite part of Warped too"

A few more minutes and we pull up in the drive way. We both sit in the car for a minute just examining my house. Then finally we both open our doors. He gets out grabbing my suitcase, and I get out grabbing my backpack. Then together we walk up to the door and knock.

I hear the familiar sound of my dog scratching at the door and barking, then my mom yelling at him and locking him up in her room. Then, finally, she answers the door.

"Mandy" she smiles, hugging me tightly "How was it?"

"It was awesome" I smile

"She was such a great performer" Andy tells my mom

"I'm so proud of you honey" she tells me, then I hear footsteps coming

"Hi Andy" my sister smiles

"Wow thanks" I say "I missed you too"

Andy laughs and my sister rolls her eyes "Hi Amanda"

"Hi" I say "Oh Andy, will you show her the video of Vic?"

"Fuentes?" My sisters eyes go wide

"I don't know" I shrug with a smirk then Andy holds out his phone

On the screen I walk into the garage, "this doesn't look like a man cave" I say unsure

"It's a little more that way, just keep going" he says and I look at him weird, then Vic Fuentes walks out from behind the car and I cover my mouth. He walks towards me, and I say

"Your Vic Fucking Fuentes... Can I have a hug?"

Vic and I hug then I start crying, then in actual life, my sister starts crying, "you lucky bitch"

"I went to Disney Land with Danielle, Jess, Jaime, Mike, Tony, Vic, Jaime, and Andy the other day"

"You. Lucky. Bitch."

"Your check for Warped is gonna be here in a few days, I don't think it'll be that much though, that's why I got you the phone" Andy smiles

"Thank you again" I smile

"Yeah" he side hugs me

"Well Andy, would you like to stay for dinner. I'm making lasagna" my mom smiles

"That'd be awesome thank you" Andy nods

"Come in"
