I Won't Fade Away

That Smile.

Andy's POV

I ran off the stage thinking of what I just saw. She was the kind of girl you see that made your heart go out of wack instantly. The possibility of me never seeing her again saddened me. 

I put my bass down, letting Donald deal with it.

As I was walking to the Meet and Greet room, someone grabbed my hand.

"Andy."

It was Suzanne.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I need to talk to you."

Fuck. What now? I have people waiting for me.

"Andy, I know we've had a rough past..." She started to ramble on about how we dated for like 4 months, then broke up because I couldn't stand the shit she put me through. Shit, half way through our relationship she told me she loved me, and started pinning down rules on me. I had to get out of that ASAP. "...I wanna let you know that I'm always gonne be here for you regardless of my feelings for you. I love you Andy, please remember that."

I swear she can be a little coo-coo. What the hell was she thinking telling me that right after a show?! Whatever.

"Yeah" I said back to her. I started walking away, when she pulled me back.I turned around and she took me by surprise by landing a kiss on my lips. What. The. Fuck.

"Suzy, stop! Please! This has to stop! you do this after everytime you start to feel guilty about what happened! I'm over it! You should be too! Please, just move on! We can be friends, but I cant take this!

I walked away with an annoyed look on my face. I headed into the Meet and Greet looking for the guys. I spotted Lou and walked to them, not watching where I was going. 

I accidentally bumped into someone, making her bag fall with her things pouring onto the ground. Fuck, way to go Andy.

"i so sor-"

I began to apologize, but I couldnt. It was her. The girl that made my heart lose itself for a second. I really couldnt believe it. I snapped out of the thought and began helping her put her things back into her bag and helping her up.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about that. I should've watched where I was going." I apologized.

She looked at me with that beautiful smile. "It's fine, don't worry about it."

I didn't really know what to say next, but I didn't want to lost the opportunity to get to know her.

"Can I get you a drink?" I asked.

Really Andy? 'Can I get you a drink?', that's all you got? You sound like a guy at a bar that wants to hit it and quit it. I was frustrated with my choice of words but before I could apologize she answered.

"Sure."

I was happy she accpeted, and I went for our drinks.

"I see you have a new little candy girl" I heard Daves voice aproaching me.

"Not really, I just met her. I wanna get to know her. She already makes me smile like an idiot"

"Invite her to the after part dude, it'd be the perfect opportunity."

"You think so?"

He patted my back, " I know so"

I smiled at him and walked back to her. She was so beautiful, I couldnt help but smile while approaching her.

"I'm Andy" I said to her.

Jesus Christ Andy, she more than likely knows that. What the hell is wrong with you, get your head on straight. 

She giggled, "I know, I've kinda been in love with your band for quite some time"

 NIce going Genius.

"Oh, Right!" I faked a laugh.

"Yo' Andy!" I heard a voice say. It was Kyle.

"Yo' what's up man?!"

"We're gonna head back out to the bus, you comin'?"

"Yeah, I'll be right there!"

This would probably be the right time to ask her to come to the after party with us.

I opened my mouth to say something but she called out to the guys.

"Hey guys, wait!!" She yelled waving her camera. "Can I get a picture before you go?"

"Of course you can, right guys?!" I looked all of them dead in the eye, hinting to them they better not say no.

I handed Haley, one of our other merch girls her camera and she took a couple pictures of the band and.. her. Fuck, I didn't even know her name.

I told Kyle to give her a poster and we all ssigned our names next to each of us. I had to make mine special. "It was an honor meeting you, thanks for coming to the show. Love always, Andy <3"

What a Cheesy fuck I am.

She began to put her poster away when i tapped her on her shoulder.

I scratched my head and tried to smile as I nervously asked her to join us for the after party.

"Hey um, the guys and I were wondering if you'd like to come join us for the after party?"

"You mean YOU'RE wondering!!!" Dave yelled back at us.

Asshole. Way to make things more awkward. I flipped him off and turned my attention back to her.

She was staring at me and I wasn't sure if she was freaked, happy, confused.

"So..? I mean, you don't have to if yo-"

I began to make an excuse but she cut me off once more. 

"I'd love to!" she chirped 

I was tempted to do a 'fuck yeah' gesture, but instead i replied with "Really?"

"Hell yeah!!" 

She seemed excited. I liked that, and I felt kinda special.

Just the thought about doubting I'd ever see this girl again, and now being able to party with her made me extremely happy.

I began to walk to the bus, her following me.

I should really ask what her name is..
