I grabbed his hand as he fell off the edge, leaving him hanging. Tears blurred my vision as I pulled with all my strength to get him back up. With one last pull, he flew back up and away from the edge. I pulled my knees up to my chest and rocked myself back and forth, sobbing. Andy lay still where he landed, thinking about what he'd just done, his eyes on me.
"How could you do that to me?" I sobbed, "Why would you do that?"
He said nothing, just continued to stare at me, with fear in his eyes. Eventually he sat up, and made his way towards me, sitting beside me and hesitantly putting his arm around me. I rested my head in his shoulder and continued sobbing.
"I'm so sorry, Kaitlin" he sighed.
"And so you should be!" I said, "I honestly don't know what I would have done if I didn't catch you on time."
He was silent for a moment, thinking of what to say
"The picture wasn't real" he whispered, "It wasn't me, I swear."
I sighed, "I know... I know that now, I just... I don't deserve you Andy. I don't deserve you at all, there are so many prettier girls out there that deserve you and would be happy to date you and I know that I sound like a typical insecure girl but--"
"Kaitlin" he interrupted, "Shut up"
And then his lips were on mine. Tingles ran down my spine like they never had before. The feeling of kissing him was overwhelming, I had missed it. He pulled out of the kiss and rested his forehead on mine.
"God, I missed you" he murmured, softly.
I smiled and kissed him again, "I missed you too..."
He went to kiss me again but we were interrupted.
"Andy, you're on stage in ten!" I heard Ferne exclaim, "Can I come out or are you...?"
"Yes, you can come out" I beamed.
"Finally!" she exclaimed, "Are you back together yet?"
"Hmm, it's not set in stone yet" I teased.
"Aw come on, Kaitlin, I--" Andy began.
"Oh my god is that the time?" I continued to tease him, jumping up, "Come on Ferne, we'd better get backstage! Bye Andy!"
I shared a mischievous smirk with Ferne and we ran down the steps to the stage, laughing manically.
(Time Skip)
I stood backstage with Ferne and Holly, waiting for the boys to perform. They were stood on the other side, and Andy was nonstop staring at me. I folded my arms, and pretended to ignore him, causing him to smirk.
"What is going on with you two?" asked Holly, "Are you back together yet?"
"Not yet" I said, "I'm going to wind him up a bit first"
"Oh you're horrible" Ferne laughed.
"I know" I smirked.
"Please welcome to the stage... ROADTRIP!" the announcer exclaimed.
The boys ran on stage and jumped around a bit before starting to sing 'I Wasn't Worried'.
"Kaitlin?" Ferne whispered in my ear, "Andy is staring at you out of the corner of his eye"
And sure enough, when it got to Andy's bit, he turned to me and sang to me.
"I'll be there through every single emotion, I'll be there to guide us through every storm, I'll be there with all my love and devotion, I'll be there girl when you call"
I huge smile spread across my face as he finished singing and winked at me. The song ended and the Roadies screamed.
"Now Roadies, before we continue our set, I have a little unorganised interruption," Andy said, "I'm sure you've all heard of the situation with me and Kaitlin--"
The crowd booed in acknowledgement.
"-- And after a while, I invited her to the show today so we could talk"
The crowd screamed.
"I made a mistake during this talk, but it led to us kissing"
The crowd cheered and screamed.
"But then, she left me mid-conversation, she won't meet my eye and she's ignoring me"
The crowd 'aww'ed. I rolled my eyes and attempted to hide my blush.
"So, Roadies" Andy wrapped up his speech, "What should I do?"
"Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her" they chanted.
My mouth fell open in shock. Andy turned to me and I shook my head profusely. Please don't make my go on stage... Please.
"Kaitlin, Kaitlin, Kaitlin" the crowd chanted.
Holly and Ferne pushed me onto the stage and into Andy's arms.
"I hate you" I whispered, trying not to laugh and cry.
"Do you though?" he asked, leaning in slowly.
"No" I breathed, "I don't think I do"
"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!" The Roadies chanted.
Andy and I looked out into the crowd and blushed.
"We should really give them what they want..." I murmured, gazing into his eyes.
Andy snorted and burst out laughing, "You've gone cross-eyed"
I slapped him playfully and he placed his forehead on mine. The chants continued but they sounded muffled. It was as though it was just me and Andy in that room. Finally, I closed the gap between us and our lips collided. The crowd and the others screamed and cheered and applauded in excitement. But one voice stood out above the rest.
"STOP!"
