I woke up feeling hyper and spastic. I looked at my phone. 12:00am. Hmm everybody should still be out partying. I jumped out of my bunk and ran to living room and started pulling on my shoes. 

"Phoenix." A deep voice said. I jumped and put my hand over my heart. Andy was sitting on the couch and my happy mood dissipated. He looked so sad and upset. I sat next to him and raised an eyebrow. 

"Andy why are you sitting in my bus in the dark?" I asked. 

"Well apparently, until you heal you can't party or do anything fun really. Just performing. So I'm here to watch you and make sure you don't." I groaned and pouted. I looked at him, the usual glimmer in his eyes was gone. 

"What's wrong?" I asked. 

"What? Nothing."  

"Andy I'm not stupid." I sighed. 

"I know." He said quietly. 

"Andy What's wrong with you?" It was more of a command to tell me now. 

"It's not a big deal.....Juliet and I broke up...." He said fiddling with his fingers. Juliet and Andy have been together for a year and a half and were hopelessly in love. 

"Oh my god." I whispered. I hugged him tightly and he clung to me like a young child. "What happened?" I said quietly. 

"She said I wasn't giving her the attention she needs and that any other man could. I told her to go find another man that would love her like I did and she said. 'Ok bye, we're fucking done.' " He said into my shoulder. I smoothed his hair down. It scared me and made me incredibly sad to see him like this. So fragile looking, not the bold, cocky, lovable Andy he usually is. We sat there like that for a long time. He spoke for the first time in at least a hour. "We didn't fight, like at all. But the last couple weeks she found something to fight about every. single. day." He said pulling away.  

"Did something happen?"  

"No, well she said her ex boyfriend was staying at our place for a couple weeks and we argued about that but it was over in a couple minutes." He said shrugging. Really.  

"Andy, I think I might know what happened....Think about it." He stayed silent for a minute. Realization came across his face. 

"........that bitch cheated on me."  

"I'm not saying that for sure but it's a possibility." He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Oh shit I started something.  

"Yeah, yeah I know." He said after the other end answered.  

Andy P.O.V 

As soon as she answered she started yelling again. 

"I thought I made it clear that we are OVER!"  

"Yeah, Yeah I know." 

"Then what do you want." She snapped.  

" Just tell me the truth." I said calmly. 

"......about what?" She said nervously.  

"I think you know exactly what I'm talking about. That douche bag still in MY house that I'M paying for?" 

"Andrew?"  

"Yeah."  

"Yes he is, why?"  

"Did you cheat on me?" I asked bluntly.  

"W-What......no."  

"That's bullshit, you and him get the fuck out of my house. Don't take anything I'll give you your shit when I get home. If anythings missing I'm calling the police." And then I hung up. Phoenix looked at me with wide eyes.
