Chapter 8 Apologies

Andy's pov

I wake up to a message from Lennon

Lennon: Hey sorry, wild night last night. Text me back when you get this. I'm really sorry - 11:17

I'm still kind of annoyed that she didn't text me back last night, but at least she's sorry about it. I'll text her in a few hours since there is a time difference here and it's 7 in the morning. I know it's early, but I'm tempted to text her now. I haven't talked to her in a day and it feels like I haven't talked to her in weeks.

I remember feeling this way about Juliet. I felt like this about her for the longest time, but lately I just haven't been feeling it with her. She's been hanging all over me at social events and then doesn't socialize with me unless it's about promoting the two of us. Talking to Lennon has made me remember what a real relationship, or at least the beginnings of one, is supposed to be like. I really like her.

I get out of bed, take a quick shower and brush my teeth before I go in the kitchen and begin making myself breakfast. I make cheesy scrambled eggs and bacon and settle myself in front of the tv next to CC who seems to have been up for a while.

"Any news from Lennon?" he looks over at me.

"Yeah, just got it this morning. She had a 'wild night' last night and didn't see my texts."

"Damn," CC laughs. "Can't wait to meet her. She seems like she's going to be great at parties."

"Who says she's coming to any parties with us?" I try to be serious.

"Um, your lovesick Lenny-loving soul obviously," he laughs. "You like her so much and I want to party with her. She needs to go through the drunk test!"

The drunk test is this test that CC made up a few yeas ago. Everyone gets drunk and one person videotapes while everyone asks each other questions that must be answered honestly. CC believes that no one is more themselves than when they are drunk.

"Do you have to give her the drunk test?" I whine slightly.

CC beams. "Of corse! everyone has to go through it."

I just roll my eyes and eat my breakfast.

The rest of the guys slowly begin to wake up and make their way out to the couch. We only have a few hours before we get to L.A then we'll have three days before we pack up and head out to shoot the video in Wenstny. Our management team moved up the date from three weeks from now to three days from now because they think we should put it out sooner to get people more excited for the next few concerts, especially the Blackmass shows. I don't have any problem with that. I get to see Lenny sooner and we might stay longer to do some promotions in Pittsburgh.

"Andy, you listening?" Ashley waves a hand in front of me face.

I blink rapidly. "Sorry. What are we talking about?"

"How none of us know why we are going to this random, tiny, town but you since you suggested it."

"Be honest Andy!" CC laughs. "We know its not because you just love finding random towns in the middle of nowhere."

"Fine," I laugh. "It's where Lenny, Lennon, lives. And her parents own the hotel we are staying in. I just really want to see her in person again, now that I know her."

"Someone is lovesick!" Jake laughs and punches me lightly in the shoulder.

"What about Juliet?" Jinxx asks. "Or have you two broken up?"

"I'm.... Exploring my options," I answer, trying to sound confident.

"So she doesn't know you want to see other people?" Ashley laughs.

"Maybe you should tell her," Jake says.

"Why?" He's only talking to Lennon. It's not like he's sleeping with her," Ashley responds. "Unless you do want to sleep with her. Than there is no way in hell you can tell her," he laughs.

"Purdy advice is not the right advice!" Jake laughs. "Tell her you're not into her right now and want to take a break."

"You sound like a marriage counselor," I laugh.

Jake grins. "Mr. Pitts at your service sir. Now as I was saying, you really should just let her know that you're seeing other people and that she should do the same."

"Maybe," I concede. "but it's not like I'm going to do anything with Lenny. We're just friends."

The guys all roll their eyes.

"What? Am I not allowed to be friends with girls?" I ask exasperatedly.

"No guy is just friends with a girl," Ash says, winking. "especially if she looks like your Lenny."

I narrow my eyes at him.

"I mean, if the two of you are just friends, you should be fine if I decided to hit that. She is one fine piece of ass," Ash grins, wiggling his eyebrows.

I glare at him.

"What? I thought you were just friends," Ash asks sweetly.

"Nothing. I just think she's out of your league," I smirk at him.

"Is that a challenge?" Ash starts to get excited. "Because if it is I accept."

"I never said it was-"

CC cuts me off. "Ash and Andy have the whole time we are in Lenny's hotel to hook up with her. You have to have proof, like a pair of her underwear or her bra, to win. The looser has to tell the audience at our next show that he has less sex appeal than the winner."

"I accept," Ash grins.

"Fine," I growl. I have no intention of letting Ash get at Lenny. Maybe I do want to do things with her. Alright, it's not a maybe, but I wasn't going to unless I knew for sure. Now I almost have to, just so Ash doesn't end up with her. I would just rather be with her than to see her with someone else. Do I sound selfish?
