Chapter 2 Notification

Andy's pov

"Thanks so much!" She gushes as I stand back up to my full height.

"No problem," I smile. "tag me on Instagram."

"Of corse!" She smile hugely. "Bye!"

"Bye," I wave at her and she blushes a very deep red.

She walks and gets into her car and I watch her drive away. Ashley must have walked out of the bus because suddenly he's patting me on the shoulder.

"Have fun buddy. That is a hot one."

"No kidding," I laugh.

I follow Ash back on to the bus and go to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Once I finish I walk back to my bunk and grab a pair of black skinny jeans and an older misfits t shirt. I walk back into the living room and flop onto the couch. Jinxx is sitting here as well, texting Sammy. I turn on the tv and begin flipping through channels. Someone is doing a special on superheroes so I leave the channel on, hoping to hear something about Batman. The rest of the guys slowly make their way back to the bus and soon enough we are driving to the next venue.

We've been up most of the night and I'm exhausted so I go back to my bunk and go to sleep. I wake up the next morning to my phone buzzing incessantly. I've got a bunch of Twitter and Instagram notifications as well as a bunch of texts and three calls from Juliet. Her texts go from saying good morning to being very annoyed and then ecstatic about how some picture on Instagram is going viral of me hugging a little girl.

Suddenly another call comes in. I answer it sleepily. "Hello,"

"Babe, the picture is perfect, whoever took it needs to be thanked. I saw it on the Kerrang site and now I'm seeing it everywhere." She's almost squealing.

"That's great Dragonfly," I yawn.

"I know!"

"I'm gonna go get ready okay. I love you," I sit up and begin to stretch.

"Love you too White Rabbit," she makes a kissing noise then hangs up.

I get up and shuffle into the living room to get some coffee. My phone is still in my hand so I sit down and begin checking through Twitter. There are a lot of mentions of the picture and stuff about our upcoming album release. Instagram has a bunch of tagged photos from the concert. I scroll through the pictures and stop when I see the selfie with the girl.

I automatically like the picture then go to her profile. I go through and look at her pictures. I'm not creeping, just trying to get to kind of know her. She's gorgeous. Long deep red hair, like the color of red wine, and bright green eyes. She has lightly tanned skin and she doesn't seem to be that tall. She has a rocker chick style and obviously loves her camera. She also plays ukulele. I select one of the videos and am astonished to hear a cover of our song 'In The End'. I select another and she plays 'Bad Girls' Club' by Falling in Reverse. I watch a few more covers then I get really get lucky and find her singing part of what must be an original song. It's powerful to say the least even if it is just the chorus.

"Who's that?" I nearly jump as CC sits down beside me.

"Um," I scroll back to the top of her profile. "Lennon Balakwe. I met her at our concert last night."

"She's hot," CC laughs.

"She's talented too," I say slightly defensively. "I'm not trying to get in a relationship. She took that picture of me hugging the little girl and I liked a selfie she took of the two of us."

"Juliet better look out!" Ash calls from his bunk. "Someone has a crush!"

"Ash she's just a fan whose pictures I liked," I'm blushing slightly.

"Leave him alone," Jake says as he pours himself a cup of coffee. "I heard the videos. She's really, really good."

"And she's really, really hot," CC laughs. "So you gonna message her or not?"

"Maybe," I smile sheepishly.

"If you don't, I will," Ash smirks. "Lennon Balakwe right? Does she have a twitter?"

"Yes, and I don't know," I answer.

"She has one, so, you better talk to her before next Saturday or I'll message her."

"Fine," I laugh.

"What are we talking about?" Jinxx asks groggily as he walks out of his bunk.

"Andy's got a crush," CC laughs, stealing my phone and showing Jinxx.

Jinxx studies her profile for a second then tosses it back to me. "She's hot,"

I roll my eyes and put my phone away. I'll follow her later on when the boys aren't up my ass about her. I take a shower and throw on some black jeans and a cut Batman t shirt. I pull on a pair of boots and head out to see where we are playing our set today. It's a good distance from our bus so I get to take a nice walk to wake me up. There are a couple roadies setting up the stage as I get there and they all say hi politely then continue their work. The location is nice. A large open field outside the Chicago suburbs.

I walk back to the bus and am greeted my Ronnie Radke from Falling in Reverse smoking outside. His band is on this tour as well as We the Kings and Blood on the Dance Floor. Yes, it's a very diverse tour.

"Hey," I say, walking up to Ronnie.

"Sup?" He looks at me through his dark sunglasses.

"Not much," I answer.

"That picture from the last show has blown up," he laughs.

"Some girl took it while I was signing for some fans," I say.

"It's a good picture,"

"Yeah,"

"You want a cigarette?" He asks, holding out his pack.

"Sure, thanks," I take a cigarette and borrow Ronnie's lighter to light it.

"So how's Juliet?"

"Good. Excited about the picture." I answer, taking a drag on the cigarette.

"That's good."

"How's Willow? I haven't seen her since her birthday party,"

Ronnie smiles happily at the mention of his daughter. "She's great! She's growing so fast. I wish I got to see her more but I've got to bring in the bacon somehow, am I right?" He grins at me and we both laugh. "You'll love having kids."

"When I finally settle down," I say, looking off into the horizon.

"Yeah," Ronnie laughs. "When you and Juliet finally decide to tie the knot."

"Who says I'm going to settle down with Juliet," I say, a little gruffly.

"Ooh! Are the two of you fighting?" His voice reaches a much higher octave than natural.

"No," I say defensively. "I'm just a little... Bored, I guess."

Ronnie rolls his eyes. "God you are difficult. Maybe take a break from her or at least try to talk to someone new."

"I don't know," I say.

"It's not like you're cheating. You're seeing your other options."

"Maybe," I say.

"Alrighty then," he laughs. "Good talk buddy. I'm gonna go practice. See you after the show."

"Bye," I say, put out my cigarette and walk back on the bus.
