Lily's pov:

I stood to greet the men leaving emerson last he seemed fairly awkward but I suppose I was now I think of it. who wouldn't be if you were about to meet the man somebody wanted dead and the blood being on your hands. I managed a small smile but I don't know who or what that was directed at. But he returned the favour and from the corner of my eye, I saw Andy's mood change from his usual Andy-ness to slipping into a void of sadness; as if he didn't want me to go through with this. But when Remington I think he said his name was asked him about something and he immediately snapped out of his trance and told them to find a room to record in while he went to get to get coffee for everyone. I was instructed to go with "the guys" and find a room in the recording studio, it wasn't long before the oldest of the lot found a studio. He texted Andy the location of the room as not to get him lost in the labyrinth that is this studio. We all took a seat and the guys started asking questions
"How old are you?" Sebastian asked
"23, 24 in July" I replied
Remington soon followed with "How do you know Andy"
"He lived next door to my family for years. We kinda grew our friendship if that's what you call it on our preference of music. Then our parents grew closer and spent a lot of time together. And then when I was 13 Andy 19 we went to a my chemical romance concert and our parents caught a movie together. We never saw them again. Drunk driver, the police told us. We became orphans, well I did so he kinda took me under his wing. What kills me was that my mom and I were fighting up until me leaving for the concert. I didn't know I'd never see her again"
I swallowed hard and tried to hold back tears. I saw all of their faces soften and streaks coming from Remingtons perfectly done makeup.
"Don't cry for us Remington, its took us years to accept it and to be honest, neither of us have really recovered" I say
"You two deserve to be cried for. You never knew they would be killed and you and your mother will didn't end on the right note. You and Andy were having fun and didn't have a care in the world you were living your life. you can't tell us a story like that and expect me to not cry!" He sniffs and pulls me into a hug. "You barely know me and you are crying on my shoulder and acting like you've known me for years" I say.
"Still, we have heard so much about you it feels like we have known you for years" Remington announced.
"So the game of twenty questions was pointless, what a shame" I sarcastically complain.
"Not entirely" chimed emerson, "I've still got a question" I could hear the groans of Remington and sebastian and I felt suddenly afraid of what he would say.
"I like your  attitude and you are extremely beautiful, I was wondering if maybe sometime we could go and grab a meal together?" I felt a sudden wave of anxiety, and I felt the blood drain from my body. It was too much for me. So I escaped from Remingtons light grip and ran out of the room
