In the End

Nightmares consumed me over the next couple of weeks of Tour. I just had a feeling since my bus got broken into that someone was constantly watching me. I woke up early one morning, Andy's still sleeping, his light snore radiating off the bunk's walls as I went out to the front of the BVB bus and just looked out the window. Dawn was just beginning to show in the sky as the bus headed to Portland and I had no intention to go back to sleep. The nightmares were so bad that I was getting cold sweats, shaking and panicking. But, Andy and the boys have doing their best to help me deal with it and be there for me. I sighed and I let a tear fall down my face. Somebody wants me dead and I know it. I thought. This might be the last time I ever see Andy again and any of my friends again and that terrified me. I sniffled softly. I then heard footsteps coming towards me and I immediately turn around and gasping, ready to punch whomever it was that decided to sneak up on me so early in the morning and I then saw Andy, shirtless and in his pair of flannel pajama bottoms. And my fist's an inch away from his face. My shoulders slowly released their tension and my breath became calm once more as I stared at Andy.

"Hey. Hey. It's okay," Andy murmured, his hands up in surrender. "It's just me, my love. You're okay."

"Jesus Christ, Moonlight. You scared me." I said.

"I'm sorry, Faith." He said, as my fist unclenches and I just take a breath. "I didn't mean to scare you, baby."

I stay silent for a moment, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes at him.

"Come here," A mere whisper escapes from Andy's lips as he extends his hand to me and he moves to lay down on the couch and I followed suit. He pulled me into him, wraps a blanket around us, my head rests on the crook of his shoulder and his arms around my waist.

"What are you doing up?" I asked. Andy looked down at me, before he lay his chin on my head.

"I woke up and saw that you weren't in my bunk, so I went to look for you," Andy's fingers gently move through my hair. "I heard you crying. Are you okay?"

"I really don't know," I murmured, as I wrap my arms around his neck. "Ever since what happened to my bus, I've been on edge and I feel that I can't trust anyone."

I looked up at him as a another tear fell down my face. Andy's thumb wipes away that tear and he kisses my forehead and moves a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Shh. Love," Andy whispers, he holds me close to him. "Don't ever say that you can't trust any one. You can trust me. You've always trusted me and you've always turned to me when you need me the most. And you don't need to be on edge. You know that I'm right here, ready to protect you in an instant."

I just close my eyes and I breathe in his scent for a moment, knowing that I don't know when I'll be able to again until this stops. Andy picks up my hands and he intertwines them with his, he brushes his thumbs across my knuckles. A simple comfort gesture. He looks at me, the ice blue in his eyes, full of love and comfort and protection reflects in them.

"I know someone is out there, waiting for the right moment to put their hands on me and hurt or kill me," The tears couldn't stop flowing down my face now. "I don't wanna die."

Andy's hands let go of mine and his hand cups my face, my eyes look into his warm ice blue eyes, his face's very serious.

"Honey," His voice became soft and gentle once more. "Nobody is gonna hurt you, let alone lay their hands on you. Stop worrying so much. You know I won't let anything bad happen to you. You know that. You've known that since we met and got together."

I began to protest, but then Andy kisses me to quiet me down. He kisses me softly, sweetly and he wanted to reassure me that everything is gonna be okay, and that I was just being paranoid over the situation.

"I love you," Andy murmured, when we pulled away and he leaned his head on mine, his eyes close. "But sometimes, Faith, I feel that you're just being paranoid. You'll be okay, we'll be okay. I promise you."

"How could you be so sure all the time?" I asked and Andy chuckles, his eyes open and pecks my lips before I moved to lay my head on his chest.

"Because, you're still here, aren't you?" Andy said, as he strokes my hair again. "You've always said that you wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for me protecting you. Right?"

It clicked with me that Andy's right, I would've been rotted away in a casket if I hadn't found Andy and fallen in love with him and have him protect me from Blaze in all the times that he tried to come after me and do harm to me and to him and even to Blayde as well. I sighed and I nodded, looking up at him. He then took my hand and he placed it on the dragon tattoo on his chest. I let my fingers roam the majestic black and grey dragon and the red heart it carries in it's claws, with my name in the center.

"Remember, Lacey. I got this tattoo for you and to symbolize you- You're my heart. And I'll do anything for my heart," Andy said, kissing my hand. "Just to keep my heart safe and my heart close to me."

"I know, Andy. I love you too." I whispered as our lips met again in another tender kiss. I let my fingers tangle in Andy's long hair and his hands slip down to hold onto my hips, I relished in the moment as I let Andy's love take me away from what I felt for a moment, giving me a chance to think more. He then breaks away once more, only to kiss my nose and the top of my head.

"We'll get through this, baby." He told me, as I snuggle into him. He then picked me up off the couch and he carried me back into his bunk. I felt nervous about going back to sleep because of the nightmares and Andy noticed it too.

"What's wrong, darling?" He whispered.

"I can't go back to sleep. Nightmares," I said. Andy then nodded and he put his arm around my waist, as he brought me into his chest. I rest my head on his chest and took a deep breath.

"Do you want me to sing to you?" He asked. I thought about it and I then nodded. He smiled and kissed my forehead a couple of times. He then decided to sing Done For You to me, softly. And while he's singing to me, he would leave kisses on my face and neck and would rub my back gently. I smiled at the affection that Andy gave to me. Immediately, my eyes began to close at the soft sound of his voice and I started to fall asleep again.

When I woke up, we had arrived in Portland. Andy had made sure that security was on high alert for Blaze's thugs in case they tried to do something stupid during my show. I walked off the BVB bus to see that Andy was chasing after Blayde after she saw a butterfly. I giggle softly and smiled as I went to get ready to do my set at the Journeys Right Foot Stage. I had dressed in a black velvet bralet top and a Killstar skirt with pentagrams on them and my Iron Fist boots. I wore my half moon necklace, my pentagram earrings, a black spiked bracelet, a silver cuff that looked like a vampire bat and my cross and half moon rings.

As I waited to get on stage with my band, I took a deep breath and looked over my shoulder to make sure. I couldn't help it. Just natural instinct for me. After a couple more looks, I then noticed that Andy had walked up to me. I looked up and smiled at him.

"Quit worrying so much," Andy murmured, he pulls my body into his and rest his hands onto my hips. "Everything's going to be okay. Plus, we only have two days left on this tour and then we'll be home. And we're not going any where after this."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and he leaned his head on mine, before he kisses my forehead.

"I can't help it." I said. "I just know they're out there."

"They're not gonna hurt you," Andy leaned his forehead against mine. "Not while I'm around you. I promise you that."

I nodded and Andy softly kisses me again, I smile in that kiss before I pull away and he kisses my temple.

"I love you, my Faith." He murmured. "My everything."

"I love you, Moonlight." I said, as I headed on stage to play my set with my band. As soon as I went on stage, it seems like all of my worries about Blaze's thugs slipped my mind as I played my set in front of all my fans. After the set, Andy and I walked to the BVB Bus before they took the Shark Main Stage. I was backstage, watching Andy and the boys in BVB get ready to go on stage to play their set. I just leaned against the curtain and crossed my arms. I wore Andy's leather jacket over my outfit, so I wouldn't catch a cold while watching them play. The sun had gone down and it was night time.

After the final two stops of Warped in San Diego and Auburn, Washington, Andy, Blayde and I took a flight home to LA and I was just happy to go home after an amazing tour and an amazing summer with my man. Andy and I had a couple of weeks to relax before he went back to the studio to work on his first Andy Black album. Blayde's also happy too. Andy, of course, had been writing a bunch of new material while tour's been going on.

As we unpacked and I got settled to being home, I just took a breath because even though I was home with Andy and Blayde, I still felt unsafe and nervous. I couldn't even be comfortable in my own home without knowing that the thugs are out there. Plotting their next move. After putting Blayde to bed that night, I walked and I looked out the window, a light rain was hitting the ground outside. I then felt two long arms around me and I jumped. I then realized it was Andy and I freaked out over nothing. I blushed and looked down.

"All right, Faith." Andy said. "That's it."

I turned around and I looked at him, raising a brow.

"What do you mean, Moonlight?" I said. Andy took my hands in his and he pulled me into him.

"I'm gonna take your mind off of this shit." Andy murmured. "I'm gonna be right back."

I watched as he let go of me after he kisses my head and he headed into the bathroom. I then heard running water for a couple minutes until it shut off and I then noticed Andy had turned the lights off in our room. He walked back into our room and he extended his hand to me. I sighed and I took his hand. I then noticed that Andy had run a bath for me. I couldn't help but smile at his gesture of affection and of pure comfort. Candles were the only thing that kept the room a lit. I turned and I kissed Andy on the cheek.

"You're the best boy I've ever known," I murmured. "Thank you."

Andy kisses me softly and rests his head on mine. I closed my eyes, breathing in him and his scent and letting it comfort me, the smell of the smoke from his cigarettes and the slight scent of cologne, the smell that is my home and salvation from this world. I had worried over nothing, and that's what Andy's showed me.

"You're welcome, baby." He whispered. "Even if it only lasts just a few minutes- I just want you to just take that time or moment and breathe. You shouldn't have to cower in fear because of one little thing."

I nodded and immediately start to undress and Andy followed suit- as soon as I stepped in, he stepped in behind me and he pulled me so my back was to his chest. I smile for a moment as I watch him cross his long legs in the water. I then feel his hands move up to my back and he begins to massage tender circles, releasing the tension in my muscles. I close my eyes and moan softly at the gesture and I feel myself begin to fully relax. I then feel the light airy touch of his lips on my collarbones, on the tattoos on my shoulder blades, and on the back of my neck and throat. I couldn't help but feel in the most amazing state of bliss that I'm in right now.

"Light," I moan softly.

"Just relax, baby. Relax." Andy murmurs and I feel his smile against my skin as he continues to kiss it. His thumbs continue working on my muscles, trying to get as much tension out of my body as he can. "Does that feel good, honey?"

"It does," I sigh, blissfully. I lean back against him as he does his work for a few more minutes and when I feel relaxed from the massage, I then move a moment later, the water making noises as I straddle Andy's hips, his hands move up to hold onto my thighs. I then rest my head on his shoulder. his arms wrapping around me and bringing me closer to his body.

"See? That's all I want," Andy lifted my chin up with his hand, making me look at him. "I hate to see you so scared and worried and constantly looking over your shoulder. I just want you back. The girl I love more than anything. The girl who isn't afraid of a single fucking thing and won't let the world take her down."

"I'm sorry, Andy." I said. "It's all because of the thugs when they destroyed my bus. It kinda sent me over the edge."

"Shh. Don't be sorry, Lacey." His hand cupped my face. "You're just under a lot of stress. I understand."

"You're right, though." I told him. "I shouldn't be so afraid and stressing over one simple thing."

Andy's fingers moved to my hair and I heard the faint trickling of the water as the palm of his hand, warm from the water, stroked my jawline.

"There isn't a single thing in this world that can drive us apart, I want you to just know that," Andy's voice becomes soft and tender. "Not a single fucking thing. Not even the fucking henchmen that Blaze hired. Nothing will keep me from loving you, Faith."

I nod and he kisses me softly, deeply. I wrap my arms around him and only his touch, his touch could light me up on fire and also be my safety and protection. His hands move to hold onto my waist as I straddled him. We break away from each other, our eyes watching one another.

"I know. I just have to remember that." I murmur, as our hands intertwine in the water, and my body presses closer to his. He kisses me again and he then lifts me up out of the water and he drains the tub as well. He then lead me to our bedroom.

That's how we spend the night, we just enjoy each other and we relish in each other. Passion, comfort and even a deeper and stronger love was felt in the room all around us. I rest my head on Andy's chest, I listen to his breathing and his heart beating. Andy's arms are wrapped around me tightly. My arms are around his neck. Andy turns, setting me on my back and I giggle at him as he smiles at me. Our lips meet in a soft and warm kiss. My hands caress him- feeling the marks on his back from a few moments earlier from my long black nails.

"I love you, Lacey Blackburn, more than I could ever scream," Andy murmurs and I chuckle at him, running my fingers through his long black hair.

"I love you, Andy Biersack, more than I could ever sing." I whisper as he pecked my lips. He rests his head between my breasts and I continue caressing his hair. He looks up after a while, his chin on my sternum and he just grins like a completely love-strucken fool. I laugh at him because he's cute when he looks at me like that. Because I know that I mean that much to him.

"God, I miss that smile, Faith." Andy says. "That beautiful, radiant smile."

"I'm sorry that you haven't seen it in a while, Light." I say. "It's been hiding under stress. But, somehow, you always bring it back to the surface."

"I'm glad I can, baby." He kisses me again. We reposition after a bit, so I lay in Andy's arms, my head resting over his heart again and we stay like that, close to one another. I feel him rubbing circles on my back and I move my head up to kiss the tattoo on his neck, making him shiver and hold me closer. I just let my other hand trace his tattoos lazily. I feel him take a soft breath and relax against me as well.

"Thank you for always catching me and reminding me to breathe." I whisper. "I really needed it."

"Anything for you, my love." His lips lightly brush the bridge of my nose. "You know I'd do anything for you."

"I love you, Moonlight." I whisper and Andy kisses my lips deeply and passionately for a few moments. I smile as we pull apart and I feel his fingers running through my hair.

"I love you too, my beautiful, radiant and perfect Faith." He murmurs. "Always and forever, baby."

I snuggle into Andy's warm embrace and I just let his voice sing me to sleep and be my everlasting lullaby.

The next morning, I woke to a note by Andy's side of the bed, resting on his pillow. I smile and I sit up, picking the note up in my hand and open it and it says:

Good Morning, my beautiful Faith.

I couldn't bear to wake you this morning, especially after last night. You are just too beautiful and too cute when you're asleep and innocent. I just wanted to tell you that I went to the studio to start production on the Andy Black album.

I left the keys to the lake house so if you wanna take Blayde up there, you can. I'll see you when I get home. I love you so much.

-Moonlight

I smile as I set the note down and I went to take a shower and I change into a leather crop top and a pair of leggings with skulls and roses on them and my Iron Fist flats. I get Blayde up and dressed and I make us breakfast and I feed the cats before we both head to the lake house for some fun. I had music going on in the car and Blayde was singing, and her voice was so beautiful. Just like Andy's, but more clean and a little bit raspier. I smile as her curls bounce as she tilts her head as she sings. The light went green and another car came charging in front of us and I screamed as it all went black.
