I wake up to the sound of Andy moving things around.

"Andy? What are you doing?"

"Shhh, go back to sleep okay?"

I hum and fall back to sleep pretty easily but I could still hear everything.

"What do you mean? Are you sure it's okay? I can be on the next flight home, I swear. No! I don't care about tour, you're more important!"

Andy was speaking in a hushed but loud voice, I could hear he was trying to keep me asleep while he was talking.

"Just call me when you go to bed. I love you, bye."

I stur in my sleep, trying to forget about it but I couldn't and the second I felt Andy get back in bed, I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"Oh, you're awake? Was it me?"

I shake my head and then nod. "Yeah...it was you moving things around. I couldn't really fall back asleep."

Andy looked at me and then looked away. "You heard the call then..?"

I nod and sigh. "You're cheating..?"

Andy looked at me and laughed. I felt so gullible and small.

"OH MY GOD! Baby, no! I'm sorry for laughing but that's- that's not what was happening."

I looked up at Andy as he moved and stood over me. His boxers showing slightly which flooded my memories of a few hours ago.

"Oh...then what was it?"

Andy's face dropped as he sat down in front of me. "I...my mom is kinda sick.."

"What do you mean sick..?"

"Cancer..."

My heart dropped as I imagined Andy in my shoes. Losing his mother, having no one else. I don't know much about his family life but I can't imagine him going through what I did.

"No...go home. Go to your mom."

"Rem, it's okay! It's early, my mom is-"

"NO! Go home! Please! You never know!" I felt a tear fall from my eyes as I shouted. I didn't know what was going on with me.

"Remington, it's okay!"

"YOU MAY NEVER SEE HER AGAIN!"

Andy looked at me hurt and confused. He got up and put shorts on. He walked out of the room, leaving me naked under the covers. I felt horrible for what I said but also too panicked to care. My breathing got unsteady as I thought about my mom. Getting the call on that Thursday morning of her not being with us anymore.

"Rem..? Andy came to us. He said you kinda yelled at him...about his mom?"

I cry as I thought about everything. Emerson hugged my side as I cried on his shoulder. Sebastian hugged me from the other side as he climbed into my bed.

"I know it's hard to hear about someone you care about going through a similar situation that we went to through but trust him and let him do what he wants." Sebastian spoke softly.

"He doesn't have anyone else...he's-"

"He still has his dad Remington, he's not alone." Emerson tried to reason.

"But his dad doesn't see him often! I see you both almost every day of my life! I always have you."

"And one day you won't." Sebastian sighed.

My heart broke as I cried harder on Emerson shoulder. "Don't...don't leave. Please."

Sebastian sighed and rubbed my back softly. "We aren't going anywhere rem, but one day, we aren't going to live with each other. And we won't see each other unless we are on tour or in the studio."

"But...I...I can't do this. Not right now."

"No one is asking you to do anything, but what Andy needs right now is a supportive person by his side. Someone who he can cry on and lean to for support."

"Does he even want me after I just yelled at him like that?" I ask as I remove my face from Emerson's neck and wipe my eyes.

"Of course he does! Are you crazy!?" Emerson laughed. "I see the way he looks at you! I know he loves you deeply."

I sigh and hear my phone chime. Emerson grabs it for me and looks with a sigh.

"Emly." Emerson said while handing my phone to me and getting off the bed. "We're gonna go now, just, be careful with Andy. He's going through a lot. You know that."

I nod and watch as the boys leave. I look at my phone and frown. Emly is my best friend since middle school but she recently got into modeling which caused her to move away from us. We talk but not as much.

REMINGTON!!! I got tickets to your concert tomorrow! I can't wait to see you again babe!

I smile and text her back.

REALLY!? It's been so long! What are you doing up so early though!?

Oh! I just landed in Germany
I'm hear for work but I have a free day to "adjust" so I thought, "why not go to the concert?"

I smiled to myself and sigh. I can't wait to see her again! It's going to be amazing!

Okay well I have to get back to sleep, rest up while I can. Gotta put on the best show for my favorite girl.

You're such a sweetheart rem!
I'll see you later, love you! Bye bye!

I squealed as I lay back down and hug my phone, the door opened to the room and Andy laid down on the bed next to me. He flung his arm onto me and pulled me close causing me to giggle softly.

"So warm!" Andy muttered as he looked into my eyes. He smiled and kissed me, removing my phone and placing it next to him on his bedside table.

"Amazing boy, sweet darling boy. I love you."

I blushed at his words and hug him tightly. "I'm sorry about earlier Ands, it was really mean and I just lost control of myself. I'm sorry."

He shook his head with a chuckle. "Don't worry about it babe, I know it's hard for you to think about that kind of subject, let's go to sleep. We have a rough day today."

"Oh I know! So many things to do and then to top it off, a concert! Oh! But there is someone I want you to meet tomorrow."

"Hmm? Who?" Andy asked with a sleepy tone as he moved us and cuddled into my side.

"My friend Emly. We will talk more in the morning, you're sleepy."

"Mmm...thanks love. Good night."

And before I had the chance to respond, he was out. I ended up falling asleep not long after. Once we both woke up, I get a message from Emly that she was downstairs with my brothers. I don't even bother putting a shirt or pants on as I run downstairs in my boxers to see her.

"EMLY! NO WAY! YOU'RE HERE!"

Emly smiled as she hugged me. I kissed her cheek and smiled at her.

"I've missed you so much! Look how many tattoos you got! And how much taller you've gotten! Awww babe! You're not so little anymore!"

I blush softly and then hear Andy clear his throat. I turn around and smile softly before looking back at Emly and mouthing a 'sorry'.

"Right so, this is Andy. Andy this is Emly! Andy is the leader of the band that I'm managing and on tour with right now so you'll be able to hear him sing!" I say in a half cheerful voice.

"Oh! So I'm just the leader and some guy you're managing now? Last night said a lot more-"

"WHOAH THERE! Let's all calm down, Andy, kitchen. Now." Sebastian chimed in as I frown.

Maybe I should have mentioned he was my boyfriend but I haven't come out to Emly yet and I'm scared. She doesn't even know about me and Josh. She would always ask about any new girls or whatever when I texted her.

When Andy and Sebastian come back, Andy glared at me and motioned for me to follow him.

"I will be right back. Need to get some clothes on." I smile softly.

"Of course love. I'm going to catch up with Emmy."

I nod and smile as I run up the stairs to my shared room with Andy. He slammed the door shut after and and pushes me against it, kissing me.

I kiss back and then push him back softly. "What's this for..?"

"You obviously love her more. Or am I just not giving you enough? I can let you fuck me if thats what it takes! You told me Josh was your first boyfriend!"

"EMLY ISNT A BOY! I DONT KNOS IF YOU NOTICED BUT SHE HAS BOOBS! plus, I never dated her. I just had a huge crush on her. I don't like her like that anymore, I promise."

"Promises are always broken." A day mumbled.

"Not this one, I swear to you, she is just a friend. I haven't come out to her yet and I don't think she knows. Obviously she's seen photos of us holding pride flags but I think she just thinks they are just our way saying we support...which we do! But like, the fans know!"

Andy sighed and kissed my head. "I love you but sometimes you make me regret my decisions. I'm going to go downstairs...please just tell her about us before she leaves. I don't know if I can handle not having you in my arms all day."

I nod and mumble a "got it" as I get dressed and Andy walked out. I walk out not long after and see Emly on the couch.

"So! I was thinking, why not go to the mall? It will be fun and we can hang out instead of being in the cramped house! Anyone can come."

I nod and smile looking at Andy. "wanna come..?" I ask as I look at Andy.

"Sure. Oh and uh, Remington. For our set today, we are thinking-"

"Enough tour talk. Worry about it later." I speak glaring. He smirked and brushed his hand against my arm as he got up and walked passed me to the car.

"I swear, your little boy in the band, he definitely likes you. Too bad you're straight or else you'd make a cute couple." Emly speaks from behind me, scaring me.

"God em, don't do that! But you think so..? He likes me?"

"I can see tension from a mile away...although with you, you're just naturally flirty so I don't really judge your tension even though it looked like. Both of you had it deep for each other." She shrugged and hummed as he walked to the car. I walked with her and got into the passenger seat with Andy in the driver and Emerson and Emly in the back.

I feel Andya hand graze my thigh and then I see him let his fingers touch my thigh as he places his arm on the center console.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say y'all are dating." Emly snorting. No one said anything moved. "No way...no one laughed! Remington! You didn't tell me!?"

I look back as Andy contiito drive. I frown and shake my head. "I wasn't ready and then it just slipped my mind with all the photos and everything. I thought you would have figured it out!"

"I thought those were just well photoshopped photos! How was I supposed to know when you've had the biggest crush on me before!"

I sigh. "Well yeah, surprise...Andy and I are dating and I'm gay!"

"Cute and also, thank you for finally telling me. Emerson pay up."

"Pay up..? Did you both have a bet on me or something?"

Emly smiled. "If you told me before the confer I won, if you told me after the concert or not at all, he won. Pretty simple."

I laugh and look at Andy who smiled and and glanced at me slightly. He put his hand on my thigh and squeezed softly.

"Good thing she knows because I don't know how long I could have gone without having you in my hands."

I roll my eyes and smack Andy's hand as it slowly goes up.

"Please, keep your hands off of each other's dicks while in the car!" Emerson gagged. "We hear you more than enough at home."

"Okay! There was no need for that!"

Our talking was cut off by the sound of Andy's phone. I looked at the name and bite my lip before looking away. His mom was calling and i was scared.

"Oh uh...I'm going to pull over. I have to take this." Andy spoke as he pulled into a gas station. He parked in a parking spot and got out with his phone. We couldn't hear what was going on but I was getting nervous.

"Hey! Remmy, I'm sure it's okay! I'm sure it's nothing bad!" Emly spoke.

"You heard about our mom right?" I mutter while picking at the skin on my fingers. "It could happen to him too...I don't want it to happen to him."

Emly sighed and hugged me as best as she could while I was in the front seat. I then hear Andy sit back in the car, his eyes were red and it looked like he was trying it best to not let anything out.

"Andy..?"

"Not now, please. Let's go."

He pulled out of the car and drove to the mall, everyone but Andy got out so I went around to the drivers seat.

"Babe..?"

Andy looked up as tears fell. "I...I don't know what to do. I don't know how to help. She's getting surgery but I'm scared."

I looked back at Emly and Emerson. "You two go on, we'll catch up later."

They nod and I turn back to Andy. I kissed him softly and hugged him tight. "I will be here for you through it all. It's scary, believe me, I know. But trust me when I tell you that it does get better."

Andy nods and wiped his eyes. "I don't know why I'm crying. I'm being a big baby."

"You're not, Andy this is your mom we're talking about. You're the only child and you're on your right now, of course you're scared but if I know anything, your mom probably wants you to not worry about it. It can't be too bad right?"

"Yeah...it's early. The earlier the better."

I nod and smile softly. "When's the surgery?"

"Uhm...I don't know but she said she had to schedule it by today to get the best possible time."

I nod and hug him. "Okay...I'll be here for you, ready to go?"

Andy nods and got out of the car, he put his arm around my waist as we walked. I softly bumped into him as we walked to mess around but he just picked me up and put me over his shoulder, causing us both to laugh.

"Gotta walk properly if you're gonna be next to me."

"Okay, okay!" I laughed as he spun around once we got onto the sidewalk. "Put me down! It's embarrassing!"

Andy put me down and kissed my head softly.

"Okay, come on." We walked hand in hand inside the mall. Emly and Emerson walked over to us and smiled.

"Everything seems to be going as well?"

I nod and smile softly. Emerson was on his phone as he accidentally bumped into someone.

"I-i am so sorry! I didn't mean to-" Emerson phone as he put his phone away and then looked up. "Juliana..?" He immediately hugged her and spun her around.

"I missed you so much! It's been a long few weeks.."

Juliana smiled and kissed Emerson which made me gagged. "Guys! Gross!"

Juliana laughed and smiled at me. "Nice to see you Remington. Emly...I didn't know you were gonna be here."

Emly smile softly. "Surprise...how are you?"

"Good, good. Just came to surprise Emerson. I saw that you were at the mall so here I am! I came in last night so I just showed up here instead of your house."

"Cool, cool. Let's go! I want to go to the store!" I whine as I pull Andy with me. Emly walked with us as Emerson and Juliana followed behind.

"I'm assuming there is issues or something with the girls?" Andy whispered.

"Emly and Juliana were friends in middle school before my brothers and I moved and when we got there, everyone was kinda just fighting over us, Emerson and I specifically because Seb was dating his wife and I was me and Emerson were only two grades apart so they thought if they couldn't get to me they went to him and it caused a big issue. Either way, Juliana and Emly went into modeling the same time and Emly got this big shoot for some big company but then was kicked to being a background model two days before the shoot because Juliana became a newer member of the team and they wanted Juliana front and center."

Andy nods softly and sighed. "That's much suck. They work together then?"

"No, Emly left the company and went to do stuff on her own which landed her in international photo shoots while Juliana is still kinda local to our hometown."

He nods and looked at a store. "Let's go here!" Andy spoke as he pulled me inside and everyone trailed behind.

As we walked around Emly picked out a few clothes and then I noticed a big poster of Emly. "Omg! Em! Come see! You're on the poster!"

Emly walked over along with Emerson and Juliana.

"Oh wow...I didn't know these were still out. I did this shoot a while ago."

"Good job Emly! You look amazing." Emerson smiled which made Juliana a little upset.

"Sucks how they didn't put mine up. I did a shoot for the bathing suit line a few months ago and I don't think I've seen it once."

"We can go check..?" Emerson smiled at Juliana which she agreed to. They went to the bathing suits to check. We followed behind slowly with Emly.

"You looked hot Em, I'm proud of you." I smiled and Andy ruffled my hair.
