Autumn's POV

I wake up by the wind being knocked out of me; I fell off the top bunk. Soon after a pounding headache hits me and I slowly get up, rubbing my temples.

"Good morning", Someone annoyingly chimes. I don't know who it is because my eyes are closed.

"Someone get me some aspirin", I groan. A minute later it's placed in my hand and I look up to see Gabe handing me the bottle of pills.

"Thanks", I say and he nods, going back to his business. "When did I get on the bus? The last thing I remember is being handed a few drinks", I question. The only memory coming to my mind is drinking the night away and Andy was there...

Kellin sits next to me and hands me a cup of coffee. "So last night.. you came in at three AM, saying you went with Biersack to that party in the field", he says.

"Yeah I went with him to the party. I bumped into him after leaving the bus and he said the party could get my mind off if things. He said that after I told him abou-"

"Good morning guys", Jesse says, cutting me off and walking into the kitchen area. Immediately I stand up but Kellin grabs my wrist.

"Tell me what you talked to Andy about", he says in a firm tone.

"It.. it was nothing Kel, it's fine", I stammer nervously then hastily walk past Jesse to the bunks.

I change into some black skinny jeans and one of Kellin's pull-over hoodies with just a tank top underneath. I go into the bathroom and brush my hair, then I straighten it and do my usual dark makeup. After that I put on red converse, grab my phone, and leave the bus again with all the guys eyes on me.

I start to make my way over to Andy's bus when suddenly the hood of my sweatshirt is pulled on and I stumble backwards.

"Where do you think you're going?" Jesse's voice fills my ears. My breath catches in my throat and I turn around slowly.

"J-just for a walk.." I stumble over my words, fearful of what he will do to me if he find out that I told Andy, and even worse if he realizes I'm sneaking out to see him.

"You're lying. You know what happens when you lie to me", he snarls, then picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. I scream loudly. "Put me down!"

He takes me behind a building where no one will be able to see and slaps me. I don't know why this is happening; he was never anything but loving to me and now, all of a sudden, he's an abusive jerk.

He then throws me to the ground and kicks me in the ribs. "You're mine and only mine! Do you understand me?" he half yells.

"Yes, I love you and only you", I say. He gets a sudden change of mood and picks me up. "I love you too baby", he says and kisses me full on the lips. What the hell?

"Now come back to the bus with me and act like nothing is wrong or else", he says in a normal voice. He bends down and I jump onto his back. Then he starts off towards the bus.

All the guys are outside when we get back and Jesse kisses my cheek lovingly, just to put on the act. I play along, trying to avoid another beating.

They give us slight questionable looks but avoid it and we all go back into the bus.

*later during the SWS set for their first warped tour show*

I sneak away from the backstage area and leave Sleeping With Sirens' set. I run to the busses and find the BVB bus then go over and pound on the door.

Andy opens it and I walk in. He's alone again...odd, but convenient. "Can we talk?" I ask. He nods and leads me over to the couch.

"What do you wanna talk about?" he sits next to me and looks at my eyes.

"Jesse.. he hit me again", I look at my hands and hold back my tears. Andy's arms are around me in seconds and I sob into his shoulder. He's become basically my new best friend in only a day. But I kinda wish we were more...

"I don't know what to do, Andy! I can't just dump him like it's nothing", I say.

"Tell Kellin; he'll beat his ass for sure", he says. I almost want to laugh. But he was right, I need to tell Kellin.

"Thanks Andy. God, I love you", I say without thinking. Shit.

"What?" he asks. Dammit I've been caught.

"Umm.. Nothing. I mean I love but like as a friend", I lie. He seems sad when I say this. "Come with me. To tell Kellin I mean. Please", I change the subject quickly to avoid awkwardness. But truthfully, I just wanted to be around him more. But I could also use the support.

-----------------

Sleeping with sirens' show just ended. Now or never. "Okay, you go hide behind the stage and wait for me", I tell Andy and he runs to go there while the band comes off the stage.

"Kellin, I need to talk to you. Come with me back here", I whisper so the others don't hear and drag him with me behind the stage where Andy is.

------------------

Kellin's POV

Autumn takes me behind the stage where Andy is leaning against the wall with a cigarette between his lips. What is he doing here?

"Okay Kellin, before you say anything just let us explain", she says calmly and I nod.

I'm getting angrier and angrier by the second as she tells the whole story. "I am going to fucking kill that dick ass motherfucker!" I yell and clench my fists, heading back to where Jesse and the guys would be.

I grab him by the collar of his shirt and pin him against a wall. He looks so scared that I almost laugh. But I'm too pissed for that to happen.

"What the fuck is your problem?! How fucking dare you put your hands on her! Why would you ever do this? I thought you were a real friend, and a good boyfriend. But clearly I was so wrong", I scream in his face.

He opens his mouth to say something but I interrupt. "No! I don't need your bullshit side of the story. I have all the evidence I need! I don't ever wanna see you again! Get out!" I keep screaming. Everyone watches in slight horror, but Andy looks amused and Autumn looks scared.

"W-what?" He says, seemingly in shock. How stupid is he?

"You heard me! Get the fuck out! You're out of the band! You're done!" I finish screaming. Now they all have a look that says "holy shit" on their faces.

Then Autumn walks up with sudden confidence. "And incase you haven't already gotten the message, you and I are over", she smirks and Andy looks extra giddy now.

"Fine! I don't need you fuckers anyways! Andy by the way Autumn, I've been cheating on you for months, so no loss for me in the useless girlfriend department", Jesse yells back then goes to the bus, to pack his shit I'm assuming.

-------------------

Autumn's POV

When we (as in Kellin, Andy, Gabe, Justin, Jack and I) get back to the bus a couple hours later, Jesse is gone along with his stuff. Now all that's here are the memories.

For a while I thought he was the one. But as soon and I met my blue eyed savior I knew I was wrong. Jesse was just a step in my life, a bad decision on my part, but he filled a void when I thought I loved him.

But a couple months ago I started feeling empty again. I had realized he couldn't completely fill that gap for me then. He doesn't even know about my past. Well not about most of it anyways. I never quite trusted him enough to tell him everything. I felt like he wouldn't love me if I did.

But someone else can fully fill that empty feeling inside of me. Someone else is the one. I can feel it. I love Andy, but he can never know.
