Rye's P.O.V
I woke up and Andy was snuggled up into my chest. Gosh he's so perfect, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and took a picture. Maybe that makes me sound like a creep but I don't care. I put the picture as my background and put my phone back in my pocket.
He woke up and his big blue eyes were starring into my brown ones and it put the biggest smile on my face.
"Good morning" I said not looking away from the beautiful boy. "Morning" he said in his morning voice that is sooooooo cute.
"I'll go fix us breakfast" I was starting to get up but he stopped me, "five more minutes"
"Ok, five more minutes"
We just laid there in silence, I was playing with his hair while he was messing with my hand, I don't think I ever realized how small his hands are till now.

We finished breakfast and we are now on FaceTime with Blair, "ok boys, how is it going?" He asked with a big smile on his face, honestly I'm pretty sure he's more excited about the band then we are. "Great!" Andy said throwing his hands up, "that's good...um Andy is that nail polish?" I looked over at Andy and his smile was gone and he was messing with his fingers, "yeah" he said looking down, I'm kinda mad at Blair for making Andy feel insecure. "Ok...well, you need to take that off" what? Why? That doses make any sense , I looked over at Andy and he just nodded and said "ok" but I wasn't gonna let it go that fast, "why?"
"Because Rye when you guys start vloging he can't have that on" that was a stupid reason. "But why can't he!?" I was getting mad and I guess Andy noticed because he grabbed my hand, out of view from Blair. "Because people will think he's gay and no one will want to watch a band if they think one of the guys are gay. Now I got to go, next time I see you Andy the nail polish better be off! Got it?"
"Yeah got it" Andy whispered and I could tell he wanted to cry, "Good, see you boys later, bye" and just like that the he was gone.
Andy was on the verge of tears so he got up but I grabbed his hand before he could go anywhere, "please don't take it off" he looked up into my eyes and a small smile was on my lips, "I have to, you heard Blair, I don't want to get kicked out of the band for something like this" he pulled himself away and walked into the bathroom.

A few minuets later Andy walked back into our room, his eyes were all red and puffy and his nail polish was gone. He quietly sat next to me and got on his phone, I just stared at the side of his face for a minute but I couldn't take it he looked so broken I leaned down to hug him but he pushed me off, "don't" he whispered but I just tried again, "I said don't Rye!" He yelled standing up, "Andy are you ok I kno—"
"Don't, don't you start! I can't take this anymore!" What is he talking about? I stood up and tried to grab his hand but he pulled away, "What are you talking about?" He looked so broken but what Blair said shouldn't have such an affect in him. "The kids at school, Blair, my parents!" Ok now I'm confused, "what are you taking about?"
"They all don't except me and it was hard when I had no friends but I could deal with that because at least I had my family, but no they were worse than the kids! And then I finally find a place I thought I would be welcomed but no" he started to cry so I pulled him into my arms he tried to push me off but soon just cried into my shoulder.

It's been about 20 minuets since Andy had his break down and now he's in the kitchen fixing tea.
"Hey Andy" I said as I walked in the kitchen, "hey Rye" Andy said and he sat on the counter, "can I asked you something?"
"Um... sure" I could tell he was a bit embarrassed because of what happened earlier. "What did you mean when you said your parents are worse than the kids?" He looked down and then back up at me, "um...well..."
"You don't have to tell me"
"No it's fine...ok well when I was little I just liked more "girly" stuff like painting my nails or wearing sandals and I liked to wear flowers crowns, I mean guys can wear it to but the kids at my school didn't see it that way, they would push me and call me names." He stopped for a second and took a deep breath before starting again, "my parents didn't really like it that much when I was little but when I got older like 13ish they would start yelling at me and cussing me out calling me the same stuff the kids at school would and it hurt. But when my dad started to hit me it became unbearable" he looked up to see if I was still listening and then he continued, "they hit me and would not let me eat till I took it off so I finally gave in and stopped dressing the way I liked and dressed the way they wanted me to. When I turned 18 and finally left I still dressed the way they wanted because I was scared to be myself, till...well now I guess." I didn't know what to say, I mean how could they be so hateful to such an amazing person? I just sat my tea down and hugged him, "I'm so sorry you had to go through that, you can be yourself around me, you know that right?" I asked as I pulled away from him, "yeah, thanks Rye."

The rest of the day we just watched movies and talked, I honestly couldn't be more happy to have such an amazing person in my life.
We were on opposite couches watching Supernatural when I looked over he was asleep so I cut it off and fell asleep thinking about our date tomorrow.
