A/N: Here it is! The final chapter of the first installment of this trilogy! Thank y'all for reading this and going through this journey with me! It truly means a lot!
Just a quick background of this story. It all started when I went to see PVRIS for the second time on my birthday. I got to meet them for the first time. It was amazing! I got to see them meet them again two more times and see them perform two more times.
I was blocked for a long time and this story just came to me on the drive back from North Carolina. Then, it just started flowing. I've never pushed this hard for a story before and I can't remember the last time something like this has happened. The late nights and the cups of coffee I would drink between the hours of 8pm to 12:30am. But it was all worth it in the end.
I do plan to do one last full edit on this story! So watch out for some changes in the next few days!
So after this chapter, I will be taking the summer off of writing and then getting started on the second installment. Thank you all again for reading this and I hoped you enjoyed it!
Now let's see what happens! Enjoy!
Chapter 25: Four Days Part 2
Day 3:
Andy and Ethan walked down the hallway of the hotel. The doctor, who they found out her name was Emma was walking behind them. Talking on her cell phone. While they were at the hospital they found that Andy had three broken ribs and there was a small puncture in her lung. But Emma said it wasn't enough to cause any damage. Just to make sure she should stay over night.
She had to get surgery on her hand and now she would be in a cast for a few months. She broke it pretty good this time. Between punching Nate and the hotel wall, it was broken in four places. She just shook her head and let Emma treat her. After everything was said and done Andy was moved to her room. As the day turned into night, Emma came into the room with a pillow and blanket for Ethan.
When she left, he got settled on the couch and tossed Andy's phone over to her. She saw the message from Lynn. She smiled and sent her a small response saying she was okay and that she could use her autography on her new cast.
After she sent it she saw notifications of Lynn's profile and she decided to check out the new pictures. She smiled when she saw pictures of the two of them. She kept scrolling through and then she came to a picture. She couldn't believe what she saw.
She tapped on it and started to do a little bit of digging. When her suspensions were confirmed, she scoffed and shook her head.
"Ethan come here." He stood up and walked over to her. She showed him the picture and then she tapped on something and his eyes went wide.
"Wait, are you serious?"
Andy didn't say anything and just nodded.
"And all this time she's going on about you having pictures of your exes."
"Can you do me a favor and talk to Alex? I just wanna know if they know. I don't want to attack her tomorrow or anything. I do want to bring this up but at the same time I don't."
"Yeah, I'll talk to him. But she's all upset about you with your pictures, and she's still following her on this app. So that has to tell you something. But it looks like Alexa isn't following Lynn."
"Besides Trisha, all of my exes are blocked on all my social media. You would think Lynn would have done the same."
"Well, maybe after they had their talk back in December she started following her again?"
"I don't know. But I am going to ask her."
"Okay, but right now you need to get some rest. Your heart rate just spiked. You know what your doc said back home." He said looking up at her monitor.
"I don't know if I'm gonna be able to go to sleep."
"Just put on one of your meditations and you'll be fine." He gave her a smile and gently squeezed her shoulder.
Just when there was a small knock on the door and a nurse came in. She told them there was a small spike on her monitor and she just wanted to make sure everything was okay.
They told her that it was and they were just getting ready to go to sleep. She smiled and double checked Andy's I.V.s and then her pulse. She said it was a little high for her liking but she'll come check on her in an hour. They thanked her and she left.
The two said good night and Andy did what Ethan said. She put on a meditation and tried to clear her mind. Hopefully she would be able to talk about this calmly with Lynn in the morning.
They reached Andy's room and she hesitated to put in the hotel key. Ethan touched her shoulder and nodded. Emma came up to them and asked if everything was okay. Andy nodded and took in a deep breath. She took out her hotel key and put it in. There was a small beep and she opened the door.
When the three walked into the room, it was heavy with activity. Kara and Erika were on their cell phones talking to people. Mark, and Lisa were talking to the band, and Melissa seemed to be talking to a reporter. There was a lot going on that no one seemed to notice that they had arrived.
Andy made a beeline for the bathroom so she could brush her teeth. Leaving Ethan and Emma standing there watching everyone talk about the next step after this article. What Ethan could gather was that the fight between Nate and Andy was caught on video and was making it rounds on the web.
Kara got off of her phone and looked up to see Emma and Ethan. She walked over to them and looked past them, "Where's Andy?"
"She's in the bathroom. Knowing her she's brushing her teeth." Ethan said.
"Is she okay?"
Emma looked at the closed bathroom door and then back at Kara, "Best if I explain everything to everyone at once." Kara nodded and turned to the room full of people. She had to get their attention some how.
Andy looked down at her red cast and shook her head. There was a million things going through her head right now. But the one thing she had to do was talk to her parents. She just knew how worried they were. She took out her phone and found her dad's number. She tapped on the video icon and waited to see his face. She wasn't sure what the time was back home, but she knew she had to talk to them.
After a few more rings no one answered. She sighed and hung up her phone. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw the damage from yesterday. Her cuts weren't as bad and the swelling went down. Her black eye didn't seem as bad either.
Then she noticed some bruising on her neck. She didn't remember Nate grabbing her by the neck. Then again everything happened so fast. She cleared her throat and grabbed her toothbrush. Now she had to start the hard process of doing things with her left hand for the fifth time in her life.
Back in the room everyone was listening to what Emma had to say about Andy. She explained that she had to get surgery on her hand and that it was broken in four places. Along with a bone in her wrist. She told them that the puncture was really small, but just to make sure she doesn't do anything extensive. She was limited a lot of things especially her workouts.
Emma even mentioned her heart, "She did have a couple of spikes in her heart beat. But nothing serious. I think it was more of the stress of being in the hospital. Nothing to be worried about. I do recommend that she get a heart monitor just so she can keep track. I've told her all this, but she seems really stubborn."
"You don't know the half of it." Ethan said and everyone chuckled.
"But if you all help her and keep on top of her with the monitor I'm sure she'll be fine. I was able to reach her doctor back in the States just to gather some information. She told me what kind of medicine Andy has been taking for her heart and stomach. I was able to get those here as well. She, or some one can pick them up today before the pharmacy closes."
"I'll take care of that." Ethan said and Emma nodded giving the prescriptions.
"I also prescribed her pain medications, which she has to be monitored with. Her medical file said she had a few issues with them a while back with those?"
Ethan nodded, "Yeah, uh she depended on them too much."
"So you've dealt with this before?"
Again Ethan nodded, "I had to hide them from her."
"Do that again, and just make sure she only takes what she needs. Nothing more than one painkiller. I highly recommend before bed, or if she doesn't plan on doing anything for the day."
The bathroom door opened and everyone looked up and saw Andy. Lynn stood up and took her in. She was still in her tank top and basketball shorts she wore yesterday when she left. She saw the red cast, and then got a good look at her face. She smiled and wanted to go up to her and hug her but she she noticed Andy was holding her side.
Andy didn't even look at everyone she just looked at Lynn. But she did answer everyone's question, "I'm okay, but I need to talk to Lynn alone. Please."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. "Glad to see you're okay." Alex said with a smile and put his hand on her shoulder. She gave him a small smile and nodded.
Justin and Brian did the same thing, "We'll be right next door." Brian said.
Mark and Lisa gave her a gentle hug and a small smile. Erika, Kara, Melissa, and the reporter gave her a small smile. Emma told her to take it easy for the next few days and to call her if anything happens.
Finally, Ethan came up to her and gave her a small hug, "Try not to lose your temper."
"I'll do my best." After everyone passed Andy they did the same to Lynn. Alex, Justin, and Brian gave her a long tight hug each and told her that they would be here.
Mark and Lisa did the same thing. Kara, Melissa, and Erika gave her a hug. Then, Emma gave Lynn's arm a gentle squeeze and a small smile. Finally, Ethan came up to her and gave her a hug as well, "Just talk it out." He whispered to her and she nodded.
Once everyone was out of the room. Lynn went over to the connecting door and locked. Andy opened the hotel door and put back the 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign on the knob. She closed the door and locked it.
She turned and walked into the room and looked at Lynn. All she wanted to do was kiss her, hold her, and tell her that she loved her. But she had to get this off of her chest.
"I'm glad you're okay." Lynn said in a small voice and taking a step towards Andy.
"I need you to be completely honest with me for the next few minutes. Can you do that?"
Lynn nodded and fully walked up to Andy and put her hands on her arms, "Of course."
Andy nodded and took a step back and ran her fingers through her hair. She sighed and took out her phone. She cleared her throat and looked up at Lynn.
"These past two days we've been fighting about how I still have pictures of my exes on my profiles."
"Andy-"
Andy held up her hand, "Please let me finish. If I don't get this out now, then I'll be holding onto this for a long time and I don't want to have this kept to myself. Plus I don't want to spark another fight like this down the road."
Lynn just nodded wondering what was going on. She was scared and confused at what she had to say.
"Last night before I went to sleep I got your message and after I responded, I saw your posts. Then, I went to look through your pictures and I come to find this." She gave her phone to Lynn and she saw the picture of her and Alexa on the steps of a building.
"I looked at the date, this was a few months before you two broke up. I also found out that you're following her, but she isn't following you. Now, imagine my surprise when I found this out. All these thoughts were running through my head.
The biggest one was how you've been really upset with me because of the pictures on my profile. Also how I told you I blocked all but one of them." Andy started to slowly pace back and forth.
"I kept thinking why does she want me to delete those pictures? Sure I had shitty relationships but I like feeling nostalgic every once and a while. Sure this is just one picture, but I can't help but feel what you're feeling. But unlike you asking me to take mine down, I'm not going to ask you to take yours down. I'm not going to ask you to stop following her. What I am going to ask you is why didn't you tell me about this?"
Lynn sat down on the edge of the bed and looked up at Andy and put her phone on the bed and sighed, "I'm sorry, I must have forgotten about it all."
"Just like how I forgot about mine. Now," She sat on the other bed and looked at Lynn, "I'm going to sit here and listen to what you have to say. I'm going to do my best not to argue with you, or raise my voice. One, because I really can't since I'm pretty much damaged. Two, I just want to understand why you got all upset about everything.
Finally, three, I saw the fight on my way here. We'll deal with that later, but right now, you and I need to fix us. I don't give two shits about what the world thinks about me. I want us to be okay, and right now we need to work through this. I'm not giving up until we figure us out. Now, please, tell me why you didn't tell me about this."
*****************************************************************************
"Thank you." Ethan smiled at the pharmacist and picked up the bag off the counter. He walked through the store trying to find the others. His mind kept going back to last night when Andy found out about Lynn. He wanted them to work things out.
He really did, but they both just have to get past their trust, and jealous issues, first. Andy had trust issues due to her girlfriends cheating on her. Lynn had trust issues because of Alexa. But both had some trust issues with each other. He knew Andy trusted Lynn, but the question is does Lynn trust Andy?
He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard his name being called. He turned towards the voice and saw Justin waving at him. He walked towards them ans saw they had a cart full of pretty much junk food. He couldn't help but chuckle at their cart.
"You do realize we have a full functioning kitchen." Ethan said looking at the three of them. They all looked at each other realizing he was right.
"Okay, so what can we keep?" Brian asked. Ethan shook his head and started to go through the cart and telling them what to put back and what to keep. By the time he was done the only few things left were, a small bag of baby carrots, a brand of baked chips, and just for a treat some cookies.
"Well shit." Justin said coming back from putting stuff back on the shelves. Alex and Brian joined them and Ethan took control of the cart. He started to push it out of the aisle.
"What's wrong?" Alex asked putting a comforting hand on his back. Ethan didn't know how to explain what he and Andy saw last night. He stopped and looked at the three of them.
"Did you guys know that Lynn still follows Alexa on one of the social media apps?"
Brian and Justin stopped dead in their tracks. Alex just looked at him as if he was joking.
He looked at all three of them, "There's also still a picture of the both of them on her profile a few months before they broke up." He told them and he pushed the cart out of the way so that they weren't blocking the aisle. The three of them took out their phones, no doubt checking to see if what Ethan said was true.
It didn't take long until Justin found the picture, "Son of a bitch!"
"You've got to be kidding me!" Alex said and Brian shook his head.
"I thought she was really done with her." Brian said softly.
"She sure does have a lot of explaining to do." Justin pointed out and they all nodded their heads.
"Wait, didn't Andy's pictures start the fight in the first place?" Alex asked.
"It sure did. But knowing Andy she's gonna wanna know why Lynn didn't tell her about this. Could be Lynn forgot. But at the same time Andy did forget she had her pictures. Only because it was such a long time ago. Here's my thing," Ethan paused and looked at the three of them.
"I still have pictures of my exes on my profile, but at the same time if I see them I'll delete them. But I don't go back through because there's so much to go through. So I'll delete them one at a time if they pop up on my feed. But I can see why both of them are getting upset." He started to push the cart and they followed.
"One, Lynn's upset because Andy has pictures of ALL of her exes on her profile. Andy's upset because Lynn didn't tell her about the one picture and the fact that she's following Alexa. They're both upset at each other for pretty much not being honest with each other. If you ask me all this bullshit is just stupid really."
"I agree the both of them are acting like teenagers. I mean, so what if Andy still has pictures of her exes. It took me almost a year to take down most of my pictures." Justin told them and they started to walk slowly.
"Does Andy have pictures of ALL of her exes on her profile?" Brian asked.
"I think she doesn't have anything with Jessie. But yeah, the others, she does."
"Okay now I can see why Lynn's upset." Brian said picking up a box of mac and cheese and looked at Ethan who just shook his head.
"I can make us homemade mac and cheese Brian. Why do you think Lynn's upset?" Ethan asked walking further down the aisle and picking up a few things.
"Well think about it. Andy has all but one ex on her profile, and Lynn just has the one picture. Andy has a lot of them where as Lynn has one."
"Okay, I kinda see your point." Alex said as they turned down another aisle.
"Now, here's why Andy's upset," Brian paused and took in a deep breath. "Lynn wasn't honest about following Alexa. Whereas Andy has blocked her exes because they caused her trouble and tried to pretty much ruin her happiness. Just how Nicole and Vicki are doing it now."
Ethan looked at Brian, "Oh my God, you're right."
Brian smiled and just shrugged, "Eh, like we keep saying it's jealousy and trust issues, they have. They just have to get past those two things and they'll be okay."
"Alright let's get a few things and get back. It's almost time for Andy to take her heart medicine." Ethan said looking at his watch. The three nodded and then started to talk about what Ethan would cook them for dinner.
**********************************************************************************
"Andy you said you wouldn't get upset." Lynn said seeing Andy pace back and forth.
"I'm not getting upset. It's just-" She put a hand over her chest and took in a deep breath, "I just need you to go in my bag and find my medicine." Lynn didn't say a word and started to go through Andy's small black bag. She was trying to stay calm while she was looking through it. She found what she was looking for and opened the bottle only to find that it was empty.
"Babe, when was the last time you filled this?"
Andy slowly walked over to her and looked down at the empty bottle, "Right before I left."
She took the bottle from Lynn and looked at it. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath and let it out. She opened her eyes and started to look through her bag. She tried to stay calm but she couldn't help but feel a panic attack coming on. She was getting frustrated. She emptied out her bag and started to frantically look through the contents of it.
Lynn went to the connecting door and opened it. She didn't see the guys, but she started to look around to room. Hoping Ethan would have Andy's medicine some where. She didn't have to look long when she heard the door open.
She heard the voices she turned and looked at Ethan, "Andy needs her heart medicine. Do you have an extra bottle somewhere?"
"Yeah in my bag. She gets it tripled filled just in case. She gives me one to hold onto, and then she keeps two in her bag. Well, I guess it's a good thing we got it refilled again." He said and went over to his suitcase and started to look through it.
"How did she go through two bottles already?" He asked
Lynn gave a frustrated shrug with a shake of her head.
"She said she filled up right before she left."
"Okay, but did she mean before she left the States, or before she left Australia, or before we left Europe, or the States again before here?" He asked again Lynn shrugged and shook her head. This time she was just aggravated with his questions. He found Andy's medicine and tossed it to her. She gave him a hurried thank you and rushed out of the room.
When she returned to the room she saw Andy laying on the bed trying to catch her breath. She went over to her and sat on the bed, "Okay, come on we gotta get you up," she said and Andy nodded.
With a painful grunt Andy sat up with her help. Lynn opened the bottle, "Open," and Andy opened her mouth as Lynn put the small pill on her tongue. She saw the bottle of water on the night stand and opened it up. She helped Andy take a sip and then put the bottle down.
Andy closed her eyes and swallowed the water along with the pill. She leaned back and took in a deep breath, "Thank you."
Lynn smiled and touched her cheek, "Anytime. You need to get some rest."
Andy shook her head, "No, we still have a lot to talk about."
Lynn sighed, "I told that I'm sorry and that I forgot about that picture. I didn't even think about the fact that I was still following her."
"This is gonna sound really stupid, but I saw that you liked a picture of her and Cacie together. The picture was a year after you two broke up."
"How far did you dig?"
"Far enough."
Lynn sighed and stood up, "You're right about feeling like we're in high school all over again."
"You're damn right it is!" Andy almost yelled then grabbed her side.
Lynn shook her head, "What is with us right now?"
Andy slowly swung her legs over the side of the bed, "Are you jealous that I have those pictures up still?"
"Honestly?" She asked and Andy nodded.
"Yes, I am. I see those and I see how happy you were. Part of me feels that you can't be THAT happy with me?"
Andy's eyes widened and she scoffed, "You can't be serious?! What makes you think I won't be THAT happy with you? When I'm with you I'm the happiest I've ever been!" She grabbed her side again.
"Andy you need to stay calm."
Andy shook her head and really looked at Lynn, "Happiness doesn't always mean you have to be with someone. You have to find it within yourself first. That took me a long time to find it after Nicole. I had to find my passion again. I did in music and in writing. Being with some one and being happy with that person is an added bonus.
Sometimes they can't fill the emptiness in our hearts that we feel. But when we don't feel that emptiness anymore even with or without some one then, you know it's right." Andy paused to take a deep breath and closed her eyes and let it out.
"I need to stand up, I was in a bed since yesterday afternoon." She said and Lynn helped her up. She smiled at her and stood straight up and let out a small groan.
She looked at Lynn, "Like I said I'm not going to ask you to take down that picture, or even ask you to stop following her. I just ask that you be honest with me. The questions I have is did you always follow her or did you stop after you broke up? Then start back up again after you two had your talk back in December?"
Lynn took a step back and ran her fingers through her hair. She closed her eyes and let out a breath.
She looked at Andy and hoped that she wouldn't get upset, "I started following her before we started dating. I could never bring myself to unfollow her. I liked a few of her pictures because I was happy that she found someone that made her happy. But then, it would get to me because, to me it seemed as though I couldn't be that person." Her voice started to break and Andy took a step closer to her.
"I couldn't make her happy and she found some one who could do that. It killed me to see her with Cacie and being happy." Andy listened and watched Lynn's tears start to fall.
"You and me, it scares the shit out of me! Being with you scares me! You make me feel loved, wanted, needed, happy, like I can do no wrong. You treat me like I'm a girl in a movie that gets her happy ending. That scares me because I feel like it's too good to be true.
How could anyone love some one that's damaged like me?! How could some one have feelings for me and put me first?! I get in my head a lot and ever since you came along I haven't been. It's all new to me. This is a whole new world and I'm not sure how to handle myself sometimes. But you make it all better and I don't know how to feel about it."
Andy took another small step towards her just wanting to hold her. Lynn wiped away her tears and sniffled she gave a small laugh and shook her head, "When I look at your pictures and I see you smiling with them and looking happy. I just keep thinking that you're going to leave me and find someone better.
Someone you can settle down with and not have to keep traveling with. Life on the road isn't really a way to have a life together and it takes a real big toll on relationships. That's why I threw myself into my music. Plus I was young when Alexa and I were together. I didn't know what I really wanted. But with you, I want it all and it scares me to death!"
She let out a sob and all Andy could do was put her arms around her. She didn't know she was crying until she pulled the woman she loved close. She forgot about the pain in her side as she held Lynn in her arms. All that mattered now was just having her close and having her arms around her. Nothing else mattered in that moment but the two of them.
"Okay, well not too much yelling today." Justin said looking at the door.
They heard a knock on the main door and Alex went to answer it. He walked back into the room with Melissa, Erika, and Kara behind him. As well as Mark and Lisa. All five looked tired, no doubt dealing with the press all day. The three women sat at the table and Melissa rubbed her eyes and let out a long breath.
"Another statement has been made. Hopefully this will blow over just like that article did. By the way we talked to our lawyers they're trying to work things out." Melissa said as Brian walked up to the table with three wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.
"You three look like you could use this." He said with a smile and began to pour them some wine. When the three glasses were half way he smiled at them and left the bottle on the table.
"How did it come to this? I never would have guessed that Andy of all people would be the focus of something like this." Kara said taking a sip of her wine. Justin offered Mark a beer and he gratefully accepted. He offered Lisa one too and she smiled and popped it open when she accepted it.
"Did you three know that Lynn still follows Alexa on one of the social media apps?" Brian asked and all five of them looked at him as if he was a stranger.
"It's true. We just found out not too long ago." Alex said coming up to the table with a plate of homemade garlic bread that Ethan had made.
"Do you think they'll get past this?" Justin asked coming back out of the kitchen with more bottles of beer and gave one to each of his friends.
"I hope so I mean, these last few months have been great for Lynn. She's happy and that's what matters to me. It took her a while to be happy with herself. Andy is just an added bonus." Alex said and pulled up a chair next to Kara.
"Do you remember after her and Alexa broke up and she kept saying that she couldn't make Alexa happy?" Brian asked and Alex nodded.
"I think that's another reason Lynn's upset. It's because she saw how happy Andy was in those pictures. So she feels as if she can't make Andy happy."
"Okay that's just total bull fucking shit!" Ethan said coming out of the kitchen and wiping his hands with a dish towel.
"All Andy has EVER talked about since we saw y'all three years ago was Lynn. She was being a typical fan and looked y'all up and did her research. Granted for about a year she forgot about you guys but then rediscovered you.
Flash forward to Charlotte and that night. Andy wouldn't shut up about her and Lynn. She kept saying that it was one of the best nights she had in a while. Now we flash forward to last year, when we came to see y'all. Sure Andy said it felt like a business trip, but she loved every second of it.
I've never seen Andy like this before. Not even with Nicole. It took her a while to learn how to love herself again. How to be happy again. Lynn is just an added bonus. Just how Alex said about Andy being an added bonus for Lynn. They even each other out.
One is the calm, one is the storm. They both want the same thing. To love each other and to make each other happy. But they can't do that if they can't trust each other. That's why they're fighting. They're fighting for each other. They just don't realize it yet."
Ethan tossed the dish towel on the floor and started to walk towards the door. Alex stood up and grabbed his arm. Ethan looked at him and gave him a small smile, "I need to clear my head. Just give me a couple of hours."
Alex nodded and leaned in giving him a small kiss on his lips. Ethan sighed as the pulled away and kissed his forehead. He turned back to the door and walked out of the room. He didn't know how to be there for his best friend at this point. This was a battle that he knew he had to stay out of.
Alex sat back down and shook his head, "You know he does have a point."
"I agree." Brian said.
"They just have to figure out what they want in their relationship." Kara said.
"I overheard them talking one night on the bus," Justin said with a small smile.
"I got up to go to the bathroom and it was like two in the morning or something. I heard talking about where they wanted to take their relationship. I heard Andy say that she was in this for the long haul. In that moment that's when I realized that Lynn was in good hands.
Then, when this bogus article came out I knew something wasn't right. Now, I've had fights with girlfriends before, but nothing like this. Not how those two are right now. But that also tells me that they want this to work, and they know it's worth fighting for." Justin finished and he took a sip of his beer.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and then they all looked at the door hoping to hear a sound. But all they heard was silence. To them it was a good sign. No one was yelling or throwing things.
"So what's for dinner?" Mark asked and everyone looked at him as if they wanted to hit him.
"Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood," he said sheepishly and sat on the corner of one of the beds.
"Come on, how about we find a movie or something. Take our mind off of things?" Lisa suggested and used the remote to turn on the TV. Everyone agreed and got up from their seats and made their way over to the beds. They all got comfortable as Lisa was looking through the channels until they all finally agreed on a movie she found.
For the next couple of hours their minds would be on something else.
***********************************************************************************
Andy sighed and leaned against the wall. Lynn had fallen asleep after her confession about being scared. Andy wanted to tell her that she was scared too. But before she could the next thing she knew Lynn said she needed to lay down for a little bit. Andy helped her into the bed and within moments Lynn fell asleep. That's when Andy checked the time and noticed it was close to dinner.
She checked what they had to eat and she thought she could make them something. But, she didn't realize the only things she got were pretty much for breakfast. She looked at the room service menu and then tossed it on the other bed. She couldn't concentrate and she didn't know how long Lynn would be asleep.
She found herself leaning against the wall looking at Lynn. She just couldn't believe how some one so beautiful managed to snag some one like her.
Lynn made her feel as if she could do no wrong and she made her feel like she could take on the world. She never felt anything like that with any of her past girlfriends. She didn't know why. There was always this small empty space in her heart in her past relationships.
Then Lynn happened and all of a sudden that empty space was filled. She was never really good with saying what she wanted to say. But now just being around Lynn she was an open book. It was like everything she held back just came pouring out of her ever since that night. She started her twenty ninth birthday on their tour bus and couldn't ask for a better way to kick it off.
But it was when the two of them were sitting on top of the bus just looking at the stars and just talking about anything and everything. All Andy kept doing was saying the first thing that would come to her mind. They talked about their childhoods, when and how they came out to their parents, and some details about their past relationships. She smiled thinking of that night. Because it was the night that changed her life.
She heard her phone go off and she picked it up off of the other bed. It was her dad trying to video chat. She looked at Lynn and then walked out onto the balcony.
She answered her phone and gave her dad a sheepish smile, "Hey dad."
"Hey! I just got a call from your doc! Are you okay?!" He asked looking at her through the camera. Just then her mom popped into the frame.
"Andrea Michelle! What happened to your face?!"
"I'm okay, and I got into a fight with Nate. That's why I tried to call you, to tell you everything."
"It's all right, Dr. Samson explained everything. How long are you in a cast this time?"
"A few months. The rest of the summer and maybe until the end of October. That's worse case scenario though, and then after that gonna see how it healed."
"What about your lung?"
"Emma said that it wasn't that big of a puncture. I just have to take it easy for a while. I can't really do anything extensive. I gotta take it easy."
"Andrea, we saw the article. We tried calling you. What's going on?" Her mom asked.
Andy sighed and looked back into the room and saw Lynn was still sleeping.
She looked back at her parents, "Nicole. She sold a fake story to the paper and fabricated the whole thing. The pictures were from years ago. She must still have them on her profile, because I have them on mine. But she blocked from every social media I have. Plus I got a new e-mail.
Anyway, Kara was able to get the text messages and it turned out it wasn't my number and the dates didn't match up." There was a pause and Andy looked back into the room again. Lynn turned over but was still asleep.
She turned her attention back to her parents, "Mom, dad, you know I wouldn't do something like this. Lynn and I have been fighting for the last few days. Besides me being in the hospital, we haven't left this hotel room since the article dropped.
We've been confessing EVERYTHING to each other. I love her and to be honest I don't think I ever loved any of my exes the way I love her. I'm fighting with all of my might to keep her. We can get through this I know we can. But we just gotta get past our past."
"I'm proud of you." Her dad said and she saw her mom nod.
"She's a keeper and you keep fighting for her. I don't think I've ever seen you this happy before. Not with your other girlfriends. She's a good one Andrea. Don't let her go."
Andy nodded and wiped a tear from her eye and smiled, "Thanks dad. I don't want to let her go."
"Then, you go back in there and you tell her what you just told us. Also when are you coming home? I haven't seen you since you left for Wisconsin with Ethan and you were only home for a few days." Her mom said.
"I'll come visit soon mom. You always told me to travel and that's what I'm doing. I'm doing something that I love with the woman I love and my best friend, and close friends. But don't forget this Christmas y'all are coming to Boston." Andy said with a smile.
"Well, that is WHEN you two work things out. We can't wait to meet her parents. Plus your mom still needs to meet her. Now, go back in there. We just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I will, and thank you. I love you both I'll see you soon."
"We love you, keep us updated. Bye."
"Bye." Andy hung up her phone and let out a breath. She didn't realize it was dusk and she turned back towards the room. She closed the balcony door and she didn't realize how tired she was.
She turned on the TV and then turned off the light. She looked at Lynn and smiled. She climbed into bed on the other side of Lynn and kissed her forehead. She touched her cheek gently and smiled.
"It scares me too, but I know in the end I know things will be okay." She whispered and kissed her forehead one more time. She let out a small painful groan as she laid back and let out a breath. She closed her eyes and hoped tomorrow morning they would be able to completely fix what was broken.
*********************************************************************************
Day 4:
"FOR FUCK SAKE!" Lynn shot up from the bed and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She heard a loud bang come from the bathroom and hurried to the door. She tried to open it but the door was locked.
"Andy?!" She called through the door, "Are you okay?!" She asked in a worried tone. She heard shuffling and then the door was became unlocked. There stood a shirtless Andy and Lynn got a good look at the bruising on Andy's right side.
"Oh my God. How bad does it hurt?"
"Scale of one to ten? Right now? About an eight." She said between breaths.
Lynn reached out and gently touched the bruised skin. She heard Andy suck in a breath and she pulled her hand away, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
"No, no, you're fine. Are you okay?" Lynn touched her cheek and gave her a small kiss.
When she pulled away they looked at each other as if they were seeing each other for the first time all over again. But they were soon brought out of it when there was a knock on their door. They both looked at each other confused. Lynn walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole. Andy hid behind the bathroom door and waited for Lynn to tell her who it was.
Lynn couldn't believe who she what seeing she started to back away from the door and then looked at Andy. She put her finger to her lips telling her to be quiet. Then pointed at the door to telling Andy to go check.
She came out of the bathroom and slowly started to walk towards the door. She looked through the peep hole and then turned back to Lynn. She didn't say anything she just made a beeline for her phone and on the night stand. She started to use her good hand to start typing away.
It didn't take long until Lynn's phone let out a small chime and Andy pointed at her phone. Lynn walked over to the night stand and saw the message she just got from Andy.
"How the fuck does she know we're here?!"
Lynn looked at her and knew she was upset. She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. Then she looked down at her phone and started to type away. Andy felt her phone vibrate and read what Lynn had replied back.
"I have no idea! I thought she was in the States!"
Just then there was a small knock on the connecting door. Andy scrambled to find a quick shirt to put on. She found her blue button down on the ground. She quickly yet painfully put it on. She was able to button up at least half way and nodded towards Lynn.
She opened the door and saw Justin come in. She put her fingers to her lips when there was a knock at the main door again. Justin looked at her confused. She just nodded with her head for him to go take a look. He looked at Andy and he could tell by her face that she was upset about something.
He walked to the door and looked through the peep hole. Once he did he quickly backed away and looked at the both of them. He didn't say a word. He just took them both by their hands and led them to the other room.
When they were inside he closed the door and looked at Lynn, "What the fuck is she doing here?!"
"I don't know! Maybe she saw the fight, or maybe she read the article!"
Ethan came out of the bathroom and looked at the three new faces in his room that wasn't there when he woke up this morning.
"Alex gave me his key. He ran out to get coffee." Justin explained.
"Okay, but what about these two?" He asked using his toothbrush to point towards Lynn and Andy.
"I went to go and check on them to make sure everything was okay. Well, before I could ask, Lynn pointed in the direction of the door. I saw someone that I'm pretty sure they don't want to see."
"Who?"
Just then there was a frantic soft knock on the door. Ethan walked over to it and looked through the peep hole and then opened the door. Brian rushed in with Mark and Lisa following behind him.
"Why is she here?!" Brian asked walking up to Lynn and she started to get upset.
"I don't fucking know!"
"SHHHH!" She might hear you!" Justin said. Even though they were in the other room. He didn't want that person to know they were there.
"Who's here?!" Ethan asked.
Alex turned the corner of the hallway and heard some one knocking on a door. He looked up and his eyes went wide. He turned around hoping that she didn't see him and he hurried towards the stairwell. He knew if he went to the elevators it would take too long and he really didn't want to see her. Once he reached the lobby he rushed outside and started to walk around the hotel. He took out his cell phone and called Ethan.
"Hey where are you?" He heard.
"I was on my way to the room and I saw her. I didn't want her to see me so I double backed and now I'm outside. Can you go on the balcony so I can see which room we're in. I'm gonna try to find another way in."
"Yeah just a second."
Alex heard some muffled voices and then some rustling. He kept looking up hoping to see Ethan soon. He kept walking until he saw Ethan on the balcony. He looked around and didn't see another way up.
"Fuck! I thought there was a fire escape or something. Open the door I'm gonna try to hide my face from her."
"Alex who the hell is here?!"
"Cacie, and if Cacie's here so is Alexa." He hung up the phone and looked up and watched as Ethan rushed back into the room. Just as he turned around to go back into the hotel he bumped into someone spilling the two cups of coffee everywhere.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" The person said.
"It's okay. Are you okay?" Alex asked and looked up at the person. There stood Alexa.
"What the fuck are they doing here?!" Ethan said walking back into the room.
"Vacation? I don't know. How does she even know we're here? Now, that's my question." Andy said looking at everyone.
Just then there was another rapid knocking on the door and Ethan went to answer it. When he did in walked a very frustrated Alex.
"What happened to you?" Brian asked.
"Bumped into Alexa." He said and started to go through his suitcase and found another shirt. He quickly changed and turned to everyone in the room.
"Alexa and Cacie are here on a layover. They heard about everything and they wanted to make sure you two were okay. I told her that you two were working on things and didn't want to be disturbed. That's when I said that Cacie was up here. Before I could say a word she rushed away and when I got back up here Cacie was no where to be found."
"Okay, but how did they find out about our hotel?" Lynn asked.
"And the room we're staying in?" Andy asked right after Lynn asked hers.
"As far as the hotel goes, Cacie follows Andy on social media." Alex explained and everyone looked at Andy.
"That's not possible. Unless she's following my photography profile-" That's when Andy stopped talking.
"You put the hotel location in one of your pictures?" Lynn asked and Andy nodded.
"Alright, but that doesn't explain how she knew which room we were in." Andy said.
"Well, turned out the girl at the desk recognized Alexa and just blurted out that Lynn Gunn was here. Before she gave the room number, Alexa went to grab their bags and the girl told Cacie the room you're in. Guess she got star struck. Anyway, Melissa is down there now doing more damage control." Alex sat on the bed and rubbed his face in his hands.
"This was not how I wanted to start this morning." Alex said as Ethan walked over to him and sat down next to him. He put his arm around him and kissed his forehead.
"Why don't you and I go take a walk, or go explore Dublin?" Ethan suggested
Alex smiled and nodded, "Let's do lunch in Dublin." They looked up only to find Andy and Lynn gone again.
"SERIOUSLY ANDY?!" They heard through the door.
"So lunch in Dublin?" Ethan asked standing up. Everyone nodded and they all rushed out of the room.
"Oh come on! You're mad about this now?!" Andy said then gently grabbed her side. Lynn took in a deep breath to calm herself. She couldn't help but be mad about this. She also had to make sure Andy didn't hurt herself again.
"Besides I thought you and Alexa worked things out."
"We did, but I wasn't expecting the girl she cheated on me with to show up!"
"Okay, you know what from now on, I won't put our locations. I'll just have people guess where the fuck we are. Which shouldn't be too hard since you and the guys tag your locations while on tour!"
"Andy you need to not raise your voice. Remember what Emma said."
"Oh fuck that! What's another trip to the fucking hospital?! If it means we can finally stop fighting! We need to get past each other's past! That's what this fight has been about. Your trust issues. My trust issues. I thought we were moving forward and now we're moving backwards. I'm trying to move forward with you. Do you want to try and move forward with me?"
Without missing a beat Lynn said, "Of course I want to move forward with you! That's all I want! You, me, together. I want a future with you! That's all I think about! Is us years down the road, I see us, living together, with a family!"
"That's where I see us too! But we can't have that if you don't trust me! You need to start trusting me!"
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course I do! I told you this already."
"But you just said you had trust issues!"
"Oh my God! I do but not with you! Like you said I was cheated on three times in three different relationships! What the fuck do I know about relationships huh?! I must not know a lot since I can't seem to stay in one!" Andy leaned against the wall and tried to catch her breath.
"Andy?" Lynn said making her way to her. Andy just shook her head.
"I'm okay, it's not my heart. I just need to breathe. Seems like every time we reach a certain point I have to stop. But not this time. Lynn, I love you, and I want to build a future with you. But you and I just need to figure this out. I want to be with you. I want to make memories with you. Ones that I will cherish forever. We just have to get past this. Whatever this is." Andy started to slowly take in some breaths and let them out slowly.
"This all started with my past coming back to bite me in the ass like it always does. This is what I was scared of. What I'm always scared of. My exes trying to ruin my happiness. It always seems that way. It's like once I'm happy they find a way to ruin it.
But I'm not gonna let it happen this time. Not with you. They can keep coming at me with all they have, but Lyndsey I will fight for you if it's the last thing I do." Andy started to slowly sink down to the floor and she saw Lynn start to tear up.
"I love you so much," Andy continued to talk and her own tears started to run down her face. She didn't think she would get like this. She took in another breath and kept talking.
"I've never had a fight this big before. This is the first time I'm actually having a fight with some one I'm in a relationship with. It's all new to me and I don't know what to do but to keep telling you how I feel. To prove to you that I'm fighting for you until the end. I don't want to hide from you anymore. I don't want you to hide from me. I want us to be us. I want us to be able to talk to each other and get mad like we are now." Andy wiped away her tears and shook her head.
She let out a small chuckle and looked at Lynn, "What I feel for you I've never felt before. I know that sounds cliche, but it's the truth. I don't want all this to break us. I know we're stronger than this and I know we can get through this. I don't want this to be over.
I don't want this to end because my exes can't move on with their lives. I can't control them. I can't control what happens. I can't control what I feel. What I feel for you, is nothing compared to what I felt with ANY of them."
Lynn smiled through her own tears and touched Andy's cheek. She leaned into her hand and closed her eyes.
She opened her eyes and really looked at the woman she fell in love with, "Just tell me what to do and I'll do it. Losing you would destroy me. I know it for a fact. Sure I'll bounce back, but it would take a long time. All this may sound cliche but it's the truth. I'm so scared of everything.
You make me feel like I can take on the world. When you look at me, it's like you really see me for who I am. Not some one who is broken, or comes with baggage. You look at me like I'm this light in your life that's leading you out of the darkness. But you've been leading me out of mine.
What can I do? What can I say? Just tell me what I can do, to prove to you what you mean to me? To show you just how much I love you. I feel like I'm losing you. Just when I think we've made progress, something else comes along and upsets you. I did get upset over your Playboy pictures."
"Andy-" Lynn tried to say and Andy shook her head.
"BUT, I was more upset about the fact that I had to find out through Ethan and not you. Okay and maybe the fact that the world knows what you look like half naked. BUT I got past that. I can get past the picture and you following Alexa. Can you get past my pictures?"
Lynn sat back and wiped her cheeks. She knew Andy had a point. She was able to get past a lot of things she had done. But for some reason Lynn couldn't understand why she couldn't get past Andy's pictures. She stood up and started to slowly pace back and forth.
Andy started to stand up using the wall as support. She slipped and that's when Lynn noticed she rushed over to her and helped her stand up. When Andy was able to stand she used the wall as support still and tried to catch her breath.
Lynn rested her forehead against hers, "I love you more than I could ever imagine, and this is so scary for so many reason. Between the both of us we have a lot of baggage. Yet we seem to keep circling back to something I can't look past. You have to give me time to get used to the pictures and I'll give you all the time you need to decide to get rid of them. I just didn't want you to have a constant reminder of the hurt they put you through."
She took a step back and gently took Andy's face in her hands. She was able to really see the wounds from the fight she had with Nate. She looked into her brown eyes and they were full of hope, doubt, remorse, and love. She kissed her forehead then, gently kissed each cheek, until she finally reached her lips.
Andy wrapped her arms around her and pulled her close. She ignored the pain in her side. She just wanted her close. She just wanted her, for the rest of her life. She knew they had a future together, but they just had to get through this. She felt Lynn pull her closer and that's when she let out a painful groan.
Lynn quickly pulled back and Andy groaned in pain, "Fuck! This needs to get healed soon as possible."
"Come on, let's sit down." Lynn helped Andy over to one of the chairs and Andy slowly sat down and Lynn sat across from her on the other bed.
"Do you want you pain meds?"
Andy shook her head, "No, I don't want to get hooked on those again. I don't want it unless I can't sleep."
Lynn nodded and leaned forward putting her hands on Andy's knees and that's when she noticed the scars from Andy's ACL surgery's.
She traced the scars with her fingers and smiled, "I remember you showing me these for the first time. You told me how you were scared to get surgery for the first time in your life."
Andy smiled, "That night on the bus, after the Albany show. When you wore those grandma looking sandals." They both laughed a little and Andy stopped and groaned again.
"Even when we're fighting we manage to laugh about something."
Andy nodded, "I try to find humor in any situation. Or at least a bright side."
"What bright side do you see out of this?"
"We're finally telling each other how scared we are about the future. We're opening up more than before about things that have been bothering us. Finally, I think we both want the same things out of this relationship. A future, a family, being together, and being able to talk to each other. Even if it means we're yelling to get our points across. But we both want the same things."
Lynn nodded, "I agree. We both made points these last few days and we both said what we felt, and what we've been feeling. We're both scared about a lot of things, because of what we've been through. But like you said we just have to get past our past and move forward. That's the only way for us to get through this."
Lynn let out a sigh and leaned forward more, "I meant what I said about giving you time to decide about the pictures. I'll learn to get past that but you just have to give me time."
Andy nodded, "I can do that. I trust you, I love you, and I want you to feel like you have your freedom. If you want to go out with your friends go out with your friends. All I ask is that you tell me where you're going, when you get there, let me know if you want me to come get you or if you're staying at a friend's house. Just let me know that you're safe. That's all I ask. I want you to have your freedom and be able to have your own life."
"Just how you let me go explore while we were on tour. You let me do my own thing." Lynn said softly and Andy nodded.
"I don't want you to feel trapped with me."
"Why would I feel trapped with you?"
Andy shook her head, "I don't know. I just don't want you to feel you have to to be with me. I want you to feel that you want to be with me. That we're not obligated to be with each other. I know I want to be with you because that's all I want. I don't feel obligated to be with you. Because I don't feel like I have any obligations when it comes to you.
Everything we do together I want to do and if I don't I let you know. I've never been good with communication in my last relationships. I think this is the most I've ever opened up. That's never happened. You've cracked open the book in me and you seem to keep reading."
"I love how you compare things." Lynn and Andy smiled at each other. But their smiles slowly faded when Lynn started to speak up again, "But you're right. We shouldn't feel obligated to be with each other. We should want to be with each other. I do want to be with you. I do love you. I do trust you.
I do want to know everything about you. I've told you that a couple of times. I don't feel trapped with you and I don't know why you would feel like that. But I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
The two women fell into silence just looking at each other. Both not knowing what to say. The last few days have been exhausting. From the fighting, to the fight with Nate, to Andy being in the hospital, to finding out things about each other.
The first day was the worst with the two of them yelling at each other about the pictures. Things finally came out into the open. They both felt the same way about the future and how scared they were. But one thing was clear, they both love each other and they both want to be with each other.
They just had to learn to get past a few things and learn to live with each other's flaws. They still had much to learn about each other and either learn to live with their flaws or not. Forever is a long time, but both knew that's what they wanted. To be with each other forever.
Even though they didn't say out loud, that's what they were hinting towards the last few days. If there's a few things this fight has revealed it's how much they would fight for their love. Fight for each other and fight for their relationship.
Andy looked at her watch and once again it was getting late. She rubbed her face in her hands and with tired eyes she looked at Lynn.
"So, where do we go from here?"

"So what are we going to tell them?" Andy asked her.
"Is this really happening right now?" Alex asked him.
"No, no, no, no, this is all wrong! Where the FUCK is Lynn?!" Angel yelled storming off.
"Dude, you better get your bride. She became a bridezilla in a manor of three hours." Justin said adjusting his bow tie.
