Together We Can Set This World On Fire (Andley)

Chapter 19

'Andy, bro, go home' Jake orders. I can't though, not without Ashley.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. I search around what feels like a maze of trash and keys, and find a text from John, our tour manager.

John: Dude, there's only 5 days left and Falling in Reverse are free to come out. All of us think you should finish Warped early this year because of what's happened.

After consulting with my bandmates, I reply with;

Andy: Hey dude, I'm not leaving this hospital until Ash does, but the rest of the guys want to finish the tour. Get Ronnie and Max to come out and cover for us.

John: Okay, text me when he wakes up!

Andy: Will do, thanks man.

I don't know what to do.
I haven't slept in days.
I'm living off of energy drinks.
I'll probably be the next one in this hospital.
I need to sort this out.
Think Andy,
What would Ashley do?

'What would Ash do?' I repeat to myself.

What would he want?
I get up.
Head towards the doors.
I'm going back on tour.
It's what he would have wanted me to do instead of being stuck inside here all day.
Do it for your fans.

'Do it for yo..'

'Andy?!'

I wake up.
In my own bed.
To the noise of the palm trees of LA swaying in the breeze.
Ash.
Please say this was all a dream. Just a bad dream.
I open my eyes to see Ashley's big brown eyes staring into mine.
'Thankgod!'
'What?'
'It was all just a dream'
'What are you on about Andy?'
'I had this crazy dream that you were in hospital and hadn't woken up in like a week and Kellin-'
'Andy. That wasn't a dream'
'What? ASH! YOU'RE OK!!' I scream.
I launch myself onto him and hug him harder than I have ever hugged anyone or anything. It's all okay.
He laughs.
'Wait? Last time I checked I was waiting for you to wake in hospital' I ask.
'You were. Until you stupidly walked into the glass door.' He jokes. 'You hadn't slept in 3 days, you were borderline crazy!'
We laugh and talk for hours. This is how everything is meant to be. Me. Ash. Our band, taking over the world. Nothing could stop us.

'Ash'
'Andy'
'Do you think that we'll ever be big? Like Iron Maiden or something?'
'Of course. Together; Me, You, Jinxx, CC, Jake, we're going to set this world on fire Andy Biersack'

'Love you forever'

'Love you forever'
