Sorry Won't Stitch These Wounds ~ Andy Biersack Fan Fiction

Chapter 11 - Kissed The Lips Of -Not So- Evil

We made our way down the small corridors. Ryan and Tom walked ahead talking about the Metallica set that would be going on before our show on the main stage. Jack and I remained silent. I had a funny feeling about today, and it didn't feel like the normal adrenalin. For some reason I felt scared. I heard footsteps along the corridor and I'm almost certain they weren't ours. I felt like I was being followed, but no one else seemed to notice. I turned to find us alone in the corridor. I breathed in deeply, relieved that it was only my mind playing tricks on me.

"Everything okay?" Jack asked stopping with me.

"I think so..." I said vaguely, examining the hallway once more.

We continued to work until we entered the lounge area. The room gave me a feeling of security and salvation. It seemed different to how it looked yesterday, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why.

"Pre-show party" Tom yelled, gaining Ryan's approval. He turned up the music and opened the cabinet beside the door, letting 3 bottles of whiskey emerge. Ashley and Jake were sat on the couch talking. I have to be honest. it wasn't much of a party until Ashley took over. I stood alone in the middle of the room, focusing on an umbrella that stood against the wall, to take my mind of the worry.

Soon, Jake confronted me, handing me a glass of whiskey. I smiled at him warmly in appreciation.

"I can't wait  to watch your show later today" He smiled back at me, showing his perfectly straight teeth.

"Thank you" I replied "I'm just nervous that we're playing after one of the biggest bands of all time" I admitted.

He took a small sip of his whiskey and looked at me, "I would be too, you'll do great, I'm sure" he reassured me. Suddenly, for some reason, He took three small steps backwards slowly.

I looked at Jake cluelessly "Wha-" I began before someone jumped on my back. The person jumped down, and I slowly turned around to find a tall man with long black hair standing before me. White and black makeup traced his face. He seemed so familiar for some reason.

 "Natasha! It's been so long!" He squealed happily pulling me into a hug.

I recognised this voice all too well. We pulled away and I finally realised who this familiar stranger was. "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled, happy to see him. "I didn't recognise you with all that makeup on"

"I'm in Black Veil Brides now!" he smiled crazily while fixing his t shirt.

Jake moved to beside Christian, "Wait... You know Natasha?! Why didn't you ever tell me?" Jake complained, staring at Christian.

"Because I know you'd go all crazy fangirl on me" He teased. Discreetly, he mouthed the words "Big fan" to me, while pointing at Jake.

"Would not." Jake said looking at the ground in defeat taking another sip of his drink.

I laughed to break the silence " Yeah... Christian and I met in college and formed our first band together with Jack and Ryan" I smiled at Jake.

"Don't tell him we dated..." Christian teased, hinting at Jake.

Jake brought his eyes from the floor "Son of a-" he paused, wide eyed "You lucky f-"

"Hey there" Christian interrupted him "Don't be a potty mouth Jakey" he joked, laughing crazily.

Jake looked at me, "So, why did you guys break up?"

"Well..." I began "After college, Christian left the band and I moved back to Wales- The distance was too much for us, especially as we didn't have the money to travel to see each other"

Christian nodded sadly, and looked at his hand. "As they say... When you love someone, set them free, if they don't come back, they never were yours"

I put my hand on his shoulder and locked my eyes to his "But... I'm here... aren't I?" I said sympathetically. A part of me truly missed him.

"But... Andy.." He sighed, hopelessly.

"We're just friends... nothing more at the moment" I whispered looking deeply into his big brown eyes.

His arm crawled around my waist and he kissed my softly, but passionately. I pulled away slowly looking into his eyes once again. It didn't feel the same. My eyes moved to Jake who was in shock. He pointed discreetly behind me and I turned to find Andy stood in the doorway.

I saw the hurt in his eyes as he watched me pull away from Christian.

I could feel my eyes watering "I'm sorry Christian... I don't feel the same way..."

"I'm the one that should be sorry" he said looking to the ground.

I waited for Andy to move from the doorway, so I could escape without facing him. I felt terrible enough as it was. But... It was just a kiss? Andy and I weren't dating, so why do I feel this bad?

I hurt Andy's feeling's and seeing him hurt, hurts me even more... When the doorway was clear, I fled from the room once more.
