Wretched Apocalypse
Chapter Twenty One - Lust (Andy)
The pain is excruciating. Ultimately it feels like a monster is inside you, ripping at your organs, eating you up as it goes along. The hunger grows slowly, but I haven’t had the experience of wanting human flesh yet, nor do I plan to. The thudding in my chest gets heavier as each hour goes by and I wonder how much longer I can put up with this without wanting to put a bullet in my own head. There is one thing...I crave...contact, obscene, filthy...contact. Full of lust, passion and want. After my last injection, my cravings have been growing hungry, they thirst, they want...they need. For me, keeping it all in is hard, but I can manage...I can manage until I have him alone, by then I can take him in my hold. I can hear those soft whispers in my ear, those begs, those moans...everything. God do I long for it, I need it. Let me out...
I slammed the book closed, throwing it across the room as rage overtook me. We’d stopped in a small town outside Boston after travelling for about three hours. We were half an hour away from Boston, but everyone was too damn weak to continue, so I let us stop off. We’d had no troubles with anymore of the undead, I don’t think many of us would have been able to fight. CC twisted his ankle, but he’s resting and should be fine by tomorrow. Ben escaped with a few bruises, cuts and slight burns as he was the closest to the blast. Chris received only a few bruises and a concussion, but he was improving and Brandon got hit in the ribs, cracking one of them, but he’s able to walk and run with a brace bandage around him to support him. As for the rest of us, we were just in shock, restless and jumpy. Ashley was downstairs, making up food for most of us, I wasn’t hungry. My appetite seemed to have dropped ever since I got attacked, and once again attacked by Devin. The only thing I didn’t lose hunger for was intimacy. Some days I could handle it, other days it tore me apart but I knew I couldn’t talk to Ashley about it, he’d think I was disgusting. It was always on my mind, all these dirty thoughts, it drove me insane.
“Andy,” Ashley’s soft voice soothed.
I tensed as I turned around, gazing over at him as he stood in the door way.
“Hey you,” I replied with a small smile.
“Are you sure you don’t want food?” he questioned, leaning against the door frame.
I couldn’t help but avert my eyes from his, trailing my eyes down Ashley’s entire body as I undressed him in my mind. I groaned slightly as I turned away, the heat in my cheeks rising as I closed my eyes.
“Andy, are you in pain again?” Ashley asked, his boots clicking on the floor.
“No, no, the pain is gone for now. I’m fine really,” I answered, feeling his hands rest on my shoulders.
“Are you getting urges again?” he continued, running his hands up my neck as I sighed.
“Yes,” I mumbled, feeling the tingle of his fingers linger on my neck.
“How bad?” Ashley questioned.
“Oh Ashley you have no idea, they’re terrible. They’re hungry and aggressive. When I hold it back, it builds up more until I can’t handle it anymore,” I groaned, Ashley’s lips tenderly kissing my neck.
“Do you get rid of it yourself sometimes?” he asked, whispering in my ear.
I winced as I felt the heat running through my core, my fingers digging into my leather pants.
“God yes,” I gasped, leaning my head back as Ashley chuckled against my skin.
“Once we get to Boston tomorrow morning, and we get that antidote for you, we’ll find a private place. Then I’m all yours,” Ashley purred, moving away.
I growled through clenched teeth as I spun around, gripping Ashley by the wrist as I pulled him back. He gasped as he slammed against my chest, his eyes locking with mine.
“But I want you now,” I wavered with a snarl.
Ashley blushed furiously as I cupped my hand under his jaw.
“J-just, quickly then,” he moaned as I bit his lip.
“Fine,” I purred, attaching his lips to mine in a heated kiss.
~~~*~~~
We all rose early the next morning, packing our gear quickly so that we could leave for Boston. The sweet rumble of the car rang through my ears as Ashley sat in the passenger seat, a small grin on his face. We were about fifteen minutes away from Boston now, and my nerves were playing up on me. Part of me hoped they had antidote, part of me feared they didn’t have any left. But I have to stay strong, and protect as many people as I can before I turn. My grip tightened on the wheel as I picked up the speed, feeling the wind blowing through my hair.
“Andy look!” Ashley exclaimed.
I looked ahead of me as the city of Boston came into view and I smiled slightly. Ashley gave a sigh of relief and I looked out the rear view mirror as I saw the others close behind us.
“Finally,” Ashley mumbled as he sat his sunglasses on top of his head.
As we turned around another corner I noticed a whole load of barricades, the military standing by a gate. I swallowed the lump in my throat as we approached, the car rumbling to a halt.
“You guys clear? Any of you carrying the virus?” an officer asked.
I sighed heavily as I nodded.
“Me,” I replied.
“How bad?” another asked.
“I’ve been having pains ever since it happened, I got attacked right on my neck. Then back in New York, our friend turned and he caught me off guard, got me on the leg. But my partner here found vials or liquid that seemed to keep my pain at bay. We’ve run out though, but, so far I haven’t noticed anything bad,” I explained.
The officer nodded before giving the all clear.
“Just make sure you head to the hospital as soon as you get in,” he informed.
I nodded as I waved back to the others telling them we could go. The car roared to life again as we drove forward, hitting fresh tarmac and I smiled slightly. I pulled up in front of the hospital that wasn’t too far as I got out, Ashley following. The others pulled up and got out, walking over to us.
“So what’s happening?” Danny questioned.
“I have to go into the hospital to see about getting antidote, you guys, go search the place for somewhere to stay, we’re going to need all the sleep we can get tonight,” I ordered.
The other’s nodded as Ashley wrapped his arm around me and we walked through the main doors to the hospital. I slipped my sunglasses up as a nurse caught sight of me.
“Holy shit,” she gasped. “Sorry, I, your eyes are fairly glazed over, did you get attacked?” she questioned.
“Yes, I need to see a doctor about antidote,” I answered.
She nodded as she issued us to sit down in the waiting room while she went to get a doctor. I obliged as Ashley and I sat across from each other, his hand’s tightly squeezing mine.
“No matter what happens I love you,” I whispered.
“Andy, you’ll make it, I swear,” Ashley soothed.
I could only smile slightly as the doubts started to fire up in my mind again. I could snap at any hour, any minute, any second yet Ashley is being so damn brave.
“You’re honestly the best thing that happened to me,” I hummed.
Ashley smiled softly, a single tear rolling down his cheek as I kissed his hand gently, nestling it against my cheek.
“Andrew Biersack?” a voice called.
I looked up as an older man in a white coat calm into the room. I stood up, Ashley in tow as he gripped my arm gently.
“Would you please come with me so I can run tests, I’ll have to ask your partner to stay behind I’m sorry but we have to concentrate and you too Mr Biersack,” the doctor informed.
I turned to Ashley as more tears ran down his face and I cupped his face in my hands, giving him a quick but passionate kiss.
“I’ll be back as soon as I can, stay calm,” I whispered.
Ashley nodded his head as I dropped my hands to my sides, following the doctor and the nurse to the examining room.
“Andy!” Ashley yelled.
I stopped as I turned around to look at my lover, his eyes burdened with tears.
“I love you,” he choked.
“I love you too,” I wavered, disappearing into the room, Ashley’s sobs still ringing in my ears.
~~~*~~~
“Mr Biersack, I’m sorry but you’re dying. Very slowly and slightly in pain as well. Your body has rejected the turning virus, but it’s still in your system, infecting your organs. I’m sorry but we cannot do anything for you. The antidote only works on those who are turning. Your symptoms are simply from organs failing. Any minute, hour or day could be your last,”
I rushed out of the hospital, tears falling down in a rage as I slammed through the front doors. My knees buckled as I dropped to the ground and screamed in rage. Ashley ran to my side as he knelt down and took me in his arms. My tears began soaking into his shirt yet he didn’t seem to mind.
“A-Andy,” he stammered.
“Oh Ashley,” I whispered, choking back sobs.
“What happened?” he asked, pushing me back slightly as I looked into his eyes.
I had to tell him, I couldn’t keep it from him. I composed myself as I sat on the side of the road, Ashley by my side, fear in his eyes.
“Ashley I...I’m dying,” I replied, resting my head in my hands.
“No,” he whispered. “No!” Ashley yelled hysterically. “Why! Can’t they give you anything!” he roared.
I gripped Ashley’s wrists as he winced and I looked directly into his eyes.
“Ashley look at me,” I mumbled.
But he didn’t.
“Ashley!” I snapped.
Ashley’s eyes snapped to mine, tears following down his face as he choked back the sobs.
“I’m not turning, my body rejected the virus, but it’s still in my system and has caused infection. My organs are failing on me. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be alive for. It could be seconds, minutes, hours or days,” I explained, fresh tears spilling down my cheeks.
Ashley shook his head as he collapsed into my arms, sobbing into the crook of my neck as I held him close.
“You won’t die Andy, you’re strong and I know it,” he soothed, sniffling slightly.
I sighed heavily, only wishing it were true. I didn’t know how to feel at all, should I be saying goodbye to people? What the hell do I do?
“Ashley, you know I love you. And, tonight I’m going to make you feel like you’re the only man on Earth. I’m going to make you feel everything you’ve never felt before. Even if I die tomorrow you’ll be left with the memory of how much I truly love you,” I whispered, holding Ashley tighter as he sat in my lap.
“I love you Andrew Biersack,” he cried, gripping my hair softly.
“I love you too Ashley Purdy,” I replied, kissing his forehead gently as I rocked him back and forth.
“Guys! Are you okay?” a voice called.
I turned my head as I saw Billie, Mike, Sam, Danny, Ben, Chris, Jack, Jinxx, Jake, Brandon and CC walk over to us, concern on their faces. I shook my head at them as Ashley pulled away from me and we stood up.
“What happened mate?” Danny asked, walking over to me as he placed his hands on my shoulders.
I bit my lip as I looked at my best friend before me. Could I tell him like I did with Ashley? I had to. I had to tell all of them.
“I’m dying,” I issued, looking down.
“Oh mate,” Danny whispered, pulling me into his arms.
Soon, everyone else was surrounding me as they joined in on the hug. I couldn’t help but shed a few more tears. Even Jack joined in, I could no longer be angry at him, only myself, for being so confident that I would make it. I knew in the end I’d be dead for sure.
“I guess we better have a little get together tomorrow. Just us as a band, no one else,” CC spoke up as we all pulled away.
I looked over at him as I nodded, a small smile resting on his lips. Man I had the greatest friends on the planet.
“We found a place not too far from here to stay,” Chris spoke as his arm was placed firmly around Brandon.
“We should go there, and just relax, get our heads thinking straight and try get some strength about us. I’m assuming we’ll probably be going into some huge bloody battle with the military tomorrow to stop these fuckers,” I replied.
Everyone nodded as we split and walked to our respecting cars that held our stuff.
“Rogue alert! Rogue alert!” a loud yell calm from an intercom.
I covered my ears and winced as a loud siren sounded and I looked up, looking for the apparent rogue zombie.
“Guys quick!” Chris yelled as he reloaded his gun.
I stood up quickly as I reached in for my bow and arrows, holding them tightly in my hands. Ashley and I stood side by side as we raised our bows and placed an arrow between our fingers.
“Where are you, you bastard,” I hissed.
Meanwhile, other survivors around us were running away screaming or ducking for cover as shots fired across the street.
“Move! Move!” I ordered as we dashed across the street.
Suddenly I heard someone’s body thud on the ground and I whipped around as Danny lay on the ground, groaning slightly.
“Danny! Shit,” I cursed, running back for him.
“Andy no!” Danny yelled, holding his hand up.
As I neared him a screech sounded as a zombie, that looked recently turned ran from the alleyway where Danny had fallen.
“No!” I roared, running forward.
“AH!” Danny screamed as the zombie attacked.
Everything seemed to slow as I stopped where I was, my heart pounding in my chest as I could hear each beat quicken.
“Danny!” Ben’s voice droned.
“Danny!” I hollered, raising my weapon.
Danny’s screams of pain grew more and more as the zombie tore at his flesh. As I was about to fire, the crack of a gun sounded, the zombie giving a shrilling scream before falling off Danny, blood oozing from its forehead. I dropped my bow and arrow as I ran to Danny, dropping beside him.
“No, no, no. Danny say something!” I yelled.
He looked up at me as he smiled slightly, a heavy groan leaving his lips.
“Mate, thank you for everything. You just, you look after yourself okay. You’ll survive this,” he rasped.
“I’d rather die,” I choked as tears flowed from my eyes.
“Andy,” Ashley whispered as the others stood around me.
“No!” I snarled. “He doesn’t deserve to die! I do!” I growled, turning back to Danny, tears now sliding down his face.
“I love ya mate, take care,” Danny wavered, coughing slightly as blood spewed from his mouth.
My hand grasped his as he gave it a firm squeeze, I didn’t care that his blood was getting on me.
“I love you too man,” I sobbed.
Slowly, Danny’s breathing slowed, his eyes rolling slightly as he started to slip away. Once his hand had dropped from mine, I knew he was gone. My best friend, he was dead, and it’s all my fault.
“Danny no!” I sobbed in pain as I held his bloody body in my arms.
Why him? Why not me?
~~~*~~~
My heart sunk as I watched Danny’s body being placed into a pit where they burnt any dead bodies. He was wrapped in thin cloth, luckily I couldn’t see any of him. My mind couldn’t process that he was gone, I refused to believe it, telling myself I’d wake up from the dream. I wanted to wake up from this entire dream, I could still be in Florida, playing with my band, meetings fans, being with the love of my life. Then again, if this had not happened, I wouldn’t have gotten so close to Ashley would I? There is moments that go by where I think about Juliet. But, nothing can really compare to the love I share with Ashley.
“Andy,” Ben whispered.
I looked up as he held his hand out to me.
“Come and say a few words will you mate?” he asked.
I nodded as I took his hand, grasping it tightly as he let me over to the pit. My stomach churned as I looked at Danny’s body, I could still sense his presence somewhere. I turned around to face everyone else as they stood with tears in their eyes.
“Danny, you were a great man. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better best friend than you. Wherever you are, take it easy and watch over us will you? We need all the strength we can muscle up to fight our way out of this. There’s no doubt you were like a brother to me and I will forever be grateful for all the memories you gave me. I only just wish this hadn’t happened because it didn’t deserve to happen to you. But this is life. However I’m sorry, I’m sorry I let you die. It’s all my fault,” I gasped, tears forming in my eyes as I covered my mouth with my hand.
I crouched to the ground as my body trembled, shaking sobs leaving my mouth as I closed my eyes, wishing to wake up from this fucked up nightmare. When opening my eyes again, Danny’s body was surrounded by fire, burning away everything left of him.
“I love you man, I miss you,” I choked, the tears becoming heavier now.
Ashley dropped by my side, wrapping his arms around me as I continued to mourn for my best friend. The flames licked around his body as he slowly started to disappear, the heat making my eyes burn, but I didn’t give a shit. All I could give a shit about now was getting everyone else out alive. Even if I die, bring it on.
“Come on babe, we’ll go get some rest,” Ashley whispered.
It was then I realized, we’d been here longer than I thought. All the other guys had gone, it was just Ashley and I, around the pit. I shakily stood up as Ashley wrapped his arm around me tightly.
“You need sleep,” he murmured.
“I don’t think I will,” I sighed, wiping the tears from my eyes.
Ashley and I turned away from the pit as we walked up the street to a motel that was for the survivors. We walked inside, locking the doors behind us, making sure they were secure as we went to the reception desk. There was a key left there as I grabbed it, putting it in my pocket as Ashley and I went into the elevator. I slumped against the wall as Ashley stood across from me, his eyes scanning me up and down.
“Hmm,” I hummed, narrowing my eyes at him.
It was as if everything came in a rush, the heat burning in my core as I groaned slightly. Ashley’s eyes travelled up my body as he bit his lip slightly and I gripped the bar behind me.
“Something wrong?” he asked.
“Urges,” I gasped as a wave of lust hit me.
Ashley raised an eyebrow as I looked at him, a smirk pulling on my face. I should be grieving, yet this seemed like the easiest way to grieve. Danny would be the one telling me to go get him tiger anyways. This made me chuckle as a stray tear slipped down my cheek and I wiped it away as the elevator came to a halt.
“Hey, you coming?” Ashley soothed.
I looked as I saw him standing out of the elevator, his jacket slung over his shoulder. I felt the burning sensation again as I stepped out, following Ashley to the end room. I fished the key from my pocket as I unlocked it. Ashley stepped inside before I slammed the door shut, locking it shut.
(WARNING: Sexual content, pretty detailed)
“Andy,” Ashley purred.
I groaned again as I threw the key away, walking over to Ashley as I pinned him against the wall, kissing him roughly, my hands clasped on either side of his face as he let out a surprised moan. I let out a throaty growl as my hands roamed under his shirt, Ashley’s moans seeping into the kiss. We pulled away as I hoisted Ashley up in my arms, carrying him through to the bedroom as I dropped him onto the bed.
“Oh god just give it to me Andy,” he begged.
“Hmm, no I’d rather take this slow,” I purred as I kicked my shoes off, crawling over his toned body.
Ashley’s lips met my neck as I groaned, pushing my hips down on him as I felt him harden under me.
“Missed me did we?” I growled, running my hands under his shirt again as I pulled it off.
Ashley grinned wickedly as I sat up in his lap and he slipped my shirt off with ease.
“Fuck you’re so beautiful Andy,” he gasped, his hands roaming on my lower back.
I moaned as my back arched back, or crotches rubbing together, a strangled gasp leaving my throat as I sat back up to look at Ashley. Our lips connected again as I played with the buckle on Ashley’s belt before taking it off. I ran my lips down his jaw, nipping gently at his skin as he groaned.
“I want you to do what you did to me the last time, I enjoyed it,” I growled in his ear.
Ashley let out an approving moan as he slipped his hands inside my leather pants, sliding them down slightly. He groaned as he pushed me back on the bed, grabbing the pants at the end and pulling them clean off before dealing with his own.
“What way do you want it,” he purred.
“The way when we were in the house all by ourselves, worrying if the guys were okay,” I whispered, biting Ashley’s bottom lip.
Ashley moaned as he placed himself back on the bed, pulling me onto his lap. He sat up against the headboard as I dragged my nails down his chest.
“Fuck,” he gasped, sliding his hands down my back.
I gasped with a heavy breath as I began biting his collarbones.
“Please Ashley,” I begged.
Ashley gave a little chuckle as he slipped his thumbs inside my underwear, slowly pulling them down. His hands ran down further as I moaned, feeling my inner core burn more.
“Ready?” he purred into my ear.
“Ready as ever,” I whispered.
Ashley’s lips connected to mine again as he slid two fingers inside me and I gasped, throwing my head back as the pleasure soared through me. My breath was now ragged and rough as Ashley started to move his fingers, thrusting gently which only made me want more.
“Too slow,” I whined, feeling his lips nip at my neck.
He chuckled again as he started to pick up the pace and I felt my knees going weak at the feeling. It was like pure ecstasy, pure love.
“Mmph, more,” I pleaded.
Ashley’s fingers curled as he added a third and it hit against my nerves as I gasped loudly, my body quiver.
“Oh again,” I growled, looking him dead in the eye.
Ashley locked eyes with me as he smirked, sliding out before thrusting them in harder as I yelled in pleasure.
“Fuck!” I shrieked, my body quaking again.
“Hmmph, Andy, please...take me,” he whispered, growling against my skin.
I winced as I moved from Ashley’s lap, slipping my fingers inside his boxers as I ripped them off. Ashley became flustered as I smirked down at him, my heart pounding in my chest. I lent down as I connected my lips to his, my hands running down his thighs. Ashley whimpered as I teased myself against him, his hands resting on my back.
“How bad do you want it?” I purred.
“So bad,” he replied.
I chuckled as I wrapped his legs tightly around my waist, pressing against him.
“Please...” he begged with a moan.
That was enough for me as I quickly thrust into him and Ashley groaned loudly, his nails digging into my back.
“Oh god,” he whispered.
I smashed my lips against his again, our tongues dancing passionately as I started to get into a steady rhythm, Ashley’s body shivering slightly.
“Hnng...mmph, so good,” he moaned, biting my lip playfully.
I growled cheekily as I started to pick up the pace and Ashley erupted into multiple moans, making me only go faster.
“I love you,” I purred, gripping his hips tightly.
“I love you too,” Ashley moaned through clenched teeth.
I smirked as I felt the feeling in the pit of my stomach growing, deciding to go quicker.
“Holy shit, Andy!” Ashley exclaimed as he dragged his nails down my back.
“Ugh, yes,” I groaned, my inner core firing up a storm.
“A-Andy I’m close,” Ashley wavered as he rolled his head back, emitting a senseless moan, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.
I relished in the moment of his pleasure as I felt myself movements started to get a little slower. God I’m so close and this feeling is out of this world.
“Oh god, yes, right there!” Ashley yelled, his hands gripping my hair.
I groaned as I kept going, our moans going in time with each other’s as I felt the feeling grow closer and closer.
“Just, once more Andy, oh god!” he screamed.
I started to pant heavily as the moans grew louder and louder, my core finally giving in as I slammed against Ashley’s sweet spot, his body quaking in spasms.
“Oh god Andy!” he roared, his moans coming out in shivered gasps as his orgasm hit him.
I groaned as he tightened around my length, the pleasure burning as it suddenly hit me like a train.
“Fuck!” I gasped, shuddering as my body stopped, my legs buckling slightly.
I panted as I rode my orgasm out, moving off Ashley as I dropped beside him.
“Oh god, Andy I love you, I really do,” Ashley panted.
I smirked as I rolled onto my side and placed my hand on Ashley’s chest.
“And I love you too,” I whispered.
I slipped out of bed as I let Ashley contain himself, making my way into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, clad in sweat, and a little flushed. Suddenly my chest heaved and I coughed heavily as blood splattered into the sink, it was dark, almost black and it burned as it came up.
“Ashley!” I called.
Ashley’s footsteps padded against the floor as he came in and saw the sight before him.
“Andy,” he soothed, coming up to me, putting his arm around me.
I closed my eyes as I tried to shake the feeling away. Please let this be over. Please let it be a dream. Yet when I opened my eyes I still stared into the mirror, the blood dripping down my mouth. I guess this was the start of my slow and painful death. The thing I could not control.
“Andy I’m scared...”
I slammed the book closed, throwing it across the room as rage overtook me. We’d stopped in a small town outside Boston after travelling for about three hours. We were half an hour away from Boston, but everyone was too damn weak to continue, so I let us stop off. We’d had no troubles with anymore of the undead, I don’t think many of us would have been able to fight. CC twisted his ankle, but he’s resting and should be fine by tomorrow. Ben escaped with a few bruises, cuts and slight burns as he was the closest to the blast. Chris received only a few bruises and a concussion, but he was improving and Brandon got hit in the ribs, cracking one of them, but he’s able to walk and run with a brace bandage around him to support him. As for the rest of us, we were just in shock, restless and jumpy. Ashley was downstairs, making up food for most of us, I wasn’t hungry. My appetite seemed to have dropped ever since I got attacked, and once again attacked by Devin. The only thing I didn’t lose hunger for was intimacy.

“Are you sure you don’t want food?” he questioned, leaning against the door frame.
I couldn’t help but avert my eyes from his, trailing my eyes down Ashley’s entire body as I undressed him in my mind. I groaned slightly as I turned away, the heat in my cheeks rising as I closed my eyes.
“Andy, are you in pain again?” Ashley asked, his boots clicking on the floor.
“No, no, the pain is gone for now. I’m fine really,” I answered, feeling his hands rest on my shoulders.
“Are you getting urges again?” he continued, running his hands up my neck as I sighed.
“Yes,” I mumbled, feeling the tingle of his fingers linger on my neck.
“How bad?” Ashley questioned.
“Oh Ashley you have no idea, they’re terrible. They’re hungry and aggressive. When I hold it back, it builds up more until I can’t handle it anymore,” I groaned, Ashley’s lips tenderly kissing my neck.
“Do you get rid of it yourself sometimes?” he asked, whispering in my ear.
I winced as I felt the heat running through my core, my fingers digging into my leather pants.
“God yes,” I gasped, leaning my head back as Ashley chuckled against my skin.
“Once we get to Boston tomorrow morning, and we get that antidote for you, we’ll find a private place. Then I’m all yours,” Ashley purred, moving away.
I growled through clenched teeth as I spun around, gripping Ashley by the wrist as I pulled him back. He gasped as he slammed against my chest, his eyes locking with mine.
“But I want you now,” I wavered with a snarl.
Ashley blushed furiously as I cupped my hand under his jaw.
“J-just, quickly then,” he moaned as I bit his lip.
“Fine,” I purred, attaching his lips to mine in a heated kiss.

We all rose early the next morning, packing our gear quickly so that we could leave for Boston. The sweet rumble of the car rang through my ears as Ashley sat in the passenger seat, a small grin on his face. We were about fifteen minutes away from Boston now, and my nerves were playing up on me. Part of me hoped they had antidote, part of me feared they didn’t have any left. But I have to stay strong, and protect as many people as I can before I turn. My grip tightened on the wheel as I picked up the speed, feeling the wind blowing through my hair.
“Andy look!” Ashley exclaimed.
I looked ahead of me as the city of Boston came into view and I smiled slightly. Ashley gave a sigh of relief and I looked out the rear view mirror as I saw the others close behind us.
“Finally,” Ashley mumbled as he sat his sunglasses on top of his head.

“So what’s happening?” Danny questioned.
“I have to go into the hospital to see about getting antidote, you guys, go search the place for somewhere to stay, we’re going to need all the sleep we can get tonight,” I ordered.
The other’s nodded as Ashley wrapped his arm around me and we walked through the main doors to the hospital. I slipped my sunglasses up as a nurse caught sight of me.

“Andrew Biersack?” a voice called.
I looked up as an older man in a white coat calm into the room. I stood up, Ashley in tow as he gripped my arm gently.
“Would you please come with me so I can run tests, I’ll have to ask your partner to stay behind I’m sorry but we have to concentrate and you too Mr Biersack,” the doctor informed.
I turned to Ashley as more tears ran down his face and I cupped his face in my hands, giving him a quick but passionate kiss.
“I’ll be back as soon as I can, stay calm,” I whispered.
Ashley nodded his head as I dropped my hands to my sides, following the doctor and the nurse to the examining room.
“Andy!” Ashley yelled.
I stopped as I turned around to look at my lover, his eyes burdened with tears.
“I love you,” he choked.
“I love you too,” I wavered, disappearing into the room, Ashley’s sobs still ringing in my ears.
~~~*~~~
“Mr Biersack, I’m sorry but you’re dying. Very slowly and slightly in pain as well. Your body has rejected the turning virus, but it’s still in your system, infecting your organs. I’m sorry but we cannot do anything for you. The antidote only works on those who are turning. Your symptoms are simply from organs failing. Any minute, hour or day could be your last,”
I rushed out of the hospital, tears falling down in a rage as I slammed through the front doors. My knees buckled as I dropped to the ground and screamed in rage. Ashley ran to my side as he knelt down and took me in his arms. My tears began soaking into his shirt yet he didn’t seem to mind.
“A-Andy,” he stammered.
“Oh Ashley,” I whispered, choking back sobs.
“What happened?” he asked, pushing me back slightly as I looked into his eyes.
I had to tell him, I couldn’t keep it from him. I composed myself as I sat on the side of the road, Ashley by my side, fear in his eyes.
“Ashley I...I’m dying,” I replied, resting my head in my hands.
“No,” he whispered. “No!” Ashley yelled hysterically. “Why! Can’t they give you anything!” he roared.
I gripped Ashley’s wrists as he winced and I looked directly into his eyes.
“Ashley look at me,” I mumbled.
But he didn’t.
“Ashley!” I snapped.
Ashley’s eyes snapped to mine, tears following down his face as he choked back the sobs.
“I’m not turning, my body rejected the virus, but it’s still in my system and has caused infection. My organs are failing on me. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be alive for. It could be seconds, minutes, hours or days,” I explained, fresh tears spilling down my cheeks.
Ashley shook his head as he collapsed into my arms, sobbing into the crook of my neck as I held him close.
“You won’t die Andy, you’re strong and I know it,” he soothed, sniffling slightly.
I sighed heavily, only wishing it were true. I didn’t know how to feel at all, should I be saying goodbye to people? What the hell do I do?
“Ashley, you know I love you. And, tonight I’m going to make you feel like you’re the only man on Earth. I’m going to make you feel everything you’ve never felt before. Even if I die tomorrow you’ll be left with the memory of how much I truly love you,” I whispered, holding Ashley tighter as he sat in my lap.
“I love you Andrew Biersack,” he cried, gripping my hair softly.
“I love you too Ashley Purdy,” I replied, kissing his forehead gently as I rocked him back and forth.
“Guys! Are you okay?” a voice called.
I turned my head as I saw Billie, Mike, Sam, Danny, Ben, Chris, Jack, Jinxx, Jake, Brandon and CC walk over to us, concern on their faces. I shook my head at them as Ashley pulled away from me and we stood up.
“What happened mate?” Danny asked, walking over to me as he placed his hands on my shoulders.
I bit my lip as I looked at my best friend before me. Could I tell him like I did with Ashley? I had to. I had to tell all of them.
“I’m dying,” I issued, looking down.
“Oh mate,” Danny whispered, pulling me into his arms.
Soon, everyone else was surrounding me as they joined in on the hug. I couldn’t help but shed a few more tears. Even Jack joined in, I could no longer be angry at him, only myself, for being so confident that I would make it. I knew in the end I’d be dead for sure.
“I guess we better have a little get together tomorrow. Just us as a band, no one else,” CC spoke up as we all pulled away.
I looked over at him as I nodded, a small smile resting on his lips. Man I had the greatest friends on the planet.
“We found a place not too far from here to stay,” Chris spoke as his arm was placed firmly around Brandon.
“We should go there, and just relax, get our heads thinking straight and try get some strength about us. I’m assuming we’ll probably be going into some huge bloody battle with the military tomorrow to stop these fuckers,” I replied.
Everyone nodded as we split and walked to our respecting cars that held our stuff.
“Rogue alert! Rogue alert!” a loud yell calm from an intercom.
I covered my ears and winced as a loud siren sounded and I looked up, looking for the apparent rogue zombie.
“Guys quick!” Chris yelled as he reloaded his gun.
I stood up quickly as I reached in for my bow and arrows, holding them tightly in my hands. Ashley and I stood side by side as we raised our bows and placed an arrow between our fingers.
“Where are you, you bastard,” I hissed.
Meanwhile, other survivors around us were running away screaming or ducking for cover as shots fired across the street.
“Move! Move!” I ordered as we dashed across the street.
Suddenly I heard someone’s body thud on the ground and I whipped around as Danny lay on the ground, groaning slightly.
“Danny! Shit,” I cursed, running back for him.
“Andy no!” Danny yelled, holding his hand up.
As I neared him a screech sounded as a zombie, that looked recently turned ran from the alleyway where Danny had fallen.
“No!” I roared, running forward.
“AH!” Danny screamed as the zombie attacked.
Everything seemed to slow as I stopped where I was, my heart pounding in my chest as I could hear each beat quicken.
“Danny!” Ben’s voice droned.
“Danny!” I hollered, raising my weapon.
Danny’s screams of pain grew more and more as the zombie tore at his flesh. As I was about to fire, the crack of a gun sounded, the zombie giving a shrilling scream before falling off Danny, blood oozing from its forehead. I dropped my bow and arrow as I ran to Danny, dropping beside him.
“No, no, no. Danny say something!” I yelled.
He looked up at me as he smiled slightly, a heavy groan leaving his lips.
“Mate, thank you for everything. You just, you look after yourself okay. You’ll survive this,” he rasped.
“I’d rather die,” I choked as tears flowed from my eyes.
“Andy,” Ashley whispered as the others stood around me.
“No!” I snarled. “He doesn’t deserve to die! I do!” I growled, turning back to Danny, tears now sliding down his face.
“I love ya mate, take care,” Danny wavered, coughing slightly as blood spewed from his mouth.
My hand grasped his as he gave it a firm squeeze, I didn’t care that his blood was getting on me.
“I love you too man,” I sobbed.
Slowly, Danny’s breathing slowed, his eyes rolling slightly as he started to slip away. Once his hand had dropped from mine, I knew he was gone. My best friend, he was dead, and it’s all my fault.
“Danny no!” I sobbed in pain as I held his bloody body in my arms.
Why him? Why not me?
~~~*~~~
My heart sunk as I watched Danny’s body being placed into a pit where they burnt any dead bodies. He was wrapped in thin cloth, luckily I couldn’t see any of him. My mind couldn’t process that he was gone, I refused to believe it, telling myself I’d wake up from the dream. I wanted to wake up from this entire dream, I could still be in Florida, playing with my band, meetings fans, being with the love of my life. Then again, if this had not happened, I wouldn’t have gotten so close to Ashley would I? There is moments that go by where I think about Juliet. But, nothing can really compare to the love I share with Ashley.
“Andy,” Ben whispered.
I looked up as he held his hand out to me.
“Come and say a few words will you mate?” he asked.
I nodded as I took his hand, grasping it tightly as he let me over to the pit. My stomach churned as I looked at Danny’s body, I could still sense his presence somewhere. I turned around to face everyone else as they stood with tears in their eyes.
“Danny, you were a great man. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better best friend than you. Wherever you are, take it easy and watch over us will you? We need all the strength we can muscle up to fight our way out of this. There’s no doubt you were like a brother to me and I will forever be grateful for all the memories you gave me. I only just wish this hadn’t happened because it didn’t deserve to happen to you. But this is life. However I’m sorry, I’m sorry I let you die. It’s all my fault,” I gasped, tears forming in my eyes as I covered my mouth with my hand.
I crouched to the ground as my body trembled, shaking sobs leaving my mouth as I closed my eyes, wishing to wake up from this fucked up nightmare. When opening my eyes again, Danny’s body was surrounded by fire, burning away everything left of him.
“I love you man, I miss you,” I choked, the tears becoming heavier now.
Ashley dropped by my side, wrapping his arms around me as I continued to mourn for my best friend. The flames licked around his body as he slowly started to disappear, the heat making my eyes burn, but I didn’t give a shit. All I could give a shit about now was getting everyone else out alive. Even if I die, bring it on.
“Come on babe, we’ll go get some rest,” Ashley whispered.
It was then I realized, we’d been here longer than I thought. All the other guys had gone, it was just Ashley and I, around the pit. I shakily stood up as Ashley wrapped his arm around me tightly.
“You need sleep,” he murmured.
“I don’t think I will,” I sighed, wiping the tears from my eyes.
Ashley and I turned away from the pit as we walked up the street to a motel that was for the survivors. We walked inside, locking the doors behind us, making sure they were secure as we went to the reception desk. There was a key left there as I grabbed it, putting it in my pocket as Ashley and I went into the elevator. I slumped against the wall as Ashley stood across from me, his eyes scanning me up and down.
“Hmm,” I hummed, narrowing my eyes at him.
It was as if everything came in a rush, the heat burning in my core as I groaned slightly. Ashley’s eyes travelled up my body as he bit his lip slightly and I gripped the bar behind me.
“Something wrong?” he asked.
“Urges,” I gasped as a wave of lust hit me.
Ashley raised an eyebrow as I looked at him, a smirk pulling on my face. I should be grieving, yet this seemed like the easiest way to grieve. Danny would be the one telling me to go get him tiger anyways. This made me chuckle as a stray tear slipped down my cheek and I wiped it away as the elevator came to a halt.
“Hey, you coming?” Ashley soothed.
I looked as I saw him standing out of the elevator, his jacket slung over his shoulder. I felt the burning sensation again as I stepped out, following Ashley to the end room. I fished the key from my pocket as I unlocked it. Ashley stepped inside before I slammed the door shut, locking it shut.
(WARNING: Sexual content, pretty detailed)
“Andy,” Ashley purred.
I groaned again as I threw the key away, walking over to Ashley as I pinned him against the wall, kissing him roughly, my hands clasped on either side of his face as he let out a surprised moan. I let out a throaty growl as my hands roamed under his shirt, Ashley’s moans seeping into the kiss. We pulled away as I hoisted Ashley up in my arms, carrying him through to the bedroom as I dropped him onto the bed.
“Oh god just give it to me Andy,” he begged.
“Hmm, no I’d rather take this slow,” I purred as I kicked my shoes off, crawling over his toned body.
Ashley’s lips met my neck as I groaned, pushing my hips down on him as I felt him harden under me.
“Missed me did we?” I growled, running my hands under his shirt again as I pulled it off.
Ashley grinned wickedly as I sat up in his lap and he slipped my shirt off with ease.
“Fuck you’re so beautiful Andy,” he gasped, his hands roaming on my lower back.
I moaned as my back arched back, or crotches rubbing together, a strangled gasp leaving my throat as I sat back up to look at Ashley. Our lips connected again as I played with the buckle on Ashley’s belt before taking it off. I ran my lips down his jaw, nipping gently at his skin as he groaned.
“I want you to do what you did to me the last time, I enjoyed it,” I growled in his ear.
Ashley let out an approving moan as he slipped his hands inside my leather pants, sliding them down slightly. He groaned as he pushed me back on the bed, grabbing the pants at the end and pulling them clean off before dealing with his own.
“What way do you want it,” he purred.
“The way when we were in the house all by ourselves, worrying if the guys were okay,” I whispered, biting Ashley’s bottom lip.
Ashley moaned as he placed himself back on the bed, pulling me onto his lap. He sat up against the headboard as I dragged my nails down his chest.
“Fuck,” he gasped, sliding his hands down my back.
I gasped with a heavy breath as I began biting his collarbones.
“Please Ashley,” I begged.
Ashley gave a little chuckle as he slipped his thumbs inside my underwear, slowly pulling them down. His hands ran down further as I moaned, feeling my inner core burn more.
“Ready?” he purred into my ear.
“Ready as ever,” I whispered.
Ashley’s lips connected to mine again as he slid two fingers inside me and I gasped, throwing my head back as the pleasure soared through me. My breath was now ragged and rough as Ashley started to move his fingers, thrusting gently which only made me want more.
“Too slow,” I whined, feeling his lips nip at my neck.
He chuckled again as he started to pick up the pace and I felt my knees going weak at the feeling. It was like pure ecstasy, pure love.
“Mmph, more,” I pleaded.
Ashley’s fingers curled as he added a third and it hit against my nerves as I gasped loudly, my body quiver.
“Oh again,” I growled, looking him dead in the eye.
Ashley locked eyes with me as he smirked, sliding out before thrusting them in harder as I yelled in pleasure.
“Fuck!” I shrieked, my body quaking again.
“Hmmph, Andy, please...take me,” he whispered, growling against my skin.
I winced as I moved from Ashley’s lap, slipping my fingers inside his boxers as I ripped them off. Ashley became flustered as I smirked down at him, my heart pounding in my chest. I lent down as I connected my lips to his, my hands running down his thighs. Ashley whimpered as I teased myself against him, his hands resting on my back.
“How bad do you want it?” I purred.
“So bad,” he replied.
I chuckled as I wrapped his legs tightly around my waist, pressing against him.
“Please...” he begged with a moan.
That was enough for me as I quickly thrust into him and Ashley groaned loudly, his nails digging into my back.
“Oh god,” he whispered.
I smashed my lips against his again, our tongues dancing passionately as I started to get into a steady rhythm, Ashley’s body shivering slightly.
“Hnng...mmph, so good,” he moaned, biting my lip playfully.
I growled cheekily as I started to pick up the pace and Ashley erupted into multiple moans, making me only go faster.
“I love you,” I purred, gripping his hips tightly.
“I love you too,” Ashley moaned through clenched teeth.
I smirked as I felt the feeling in the pit of my stomach growing, deciding to go quicker.
“Holy shit, Andy!” Ashley exclaimed as he dragged his nails down my back.
“Ugh, yes,” I groaned, my inner core firing up a storm.
“A-Andy I’m close,” Ashley wavered as he rolled his head back, emitting a senseless moan, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.
I relished in the moment of his pleasure as I felt myself movements started to get a little slower. God I’m so close and this feeling is out of this world.
“Oh god, yes, right there!” Ashley yelled, his hands gripping my hair.
I groaned as I kept going, our moans going in time with each other’s as I felt the feeling grow closer and closer.
“Just, once more Andy, oh god!” he screamed.
I started to pant heavily as the moans grew louder and louder, my core finally giving in as I slammed against Ashley’s sweet spot, his body quaking in spasms.
“Oh god Andy!” he roared, his moans coming out in shivered gasps as his orgasm hit him.
I groaned as he tightened around my length, the pleasure burning as it suddenly hit me like a train.
“Fuck!” I gasped, shuddering as my body stopped, my legs buckling slightly.
I panted as I rode my orgasm out, moving off Ashley as I dropped beside him.
“Oh god, Andy I love you, I really do,” Ashley panted.
I smirked as I rolled onto my side and placed my hand on Ashley’s chest.
“And I love you too,” I whispered.
I slipped out of bed as I let Ashley contain himself, making my way into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, clad in sweat, and a little flushed. Suddenly my chest heaved and I coughed heavily as blood splattered into the sink, it was dark, almost black and it burned as it came up.
“Ashley!” I called.
Ashley’s footsteps padded against the floor as he came in and saw the sight before him.
“Andy,” he soothed, coming up to me, putting his arm around me.
I closed my eyes as I tried to shake the feeling away. Please let this be over. Please let it be a dream. Yet when I opened my eyes I still stared into the mirror, the blood dripping down my mouth. I guess this was the start of my slow and painful death. The thing I could not control.
“Andy I’m scared...”
