ChapterNine-The Breakdown

June 3rd, 2007

 It's now June, and it's the last day of the Girls Aloud tour. The last stop was London. UTurn gained more fans across Britain, and are becoming very well-liked. The members are now very exhausted; but after the tour, they'll be given a few days off before they begin promotions for Our Love. 

 It's about an hour before the concert starts. The UTurn members were about to get their costumes. Andrew was looking through the clothes rack for his costume. He didn't see his nametag, so he searched frantically.

 Justin noticed this, so he asked, "Andrew, are you okay?"

 Andrew answered hastily, "Do I look okay?"

 Justin gave a puzzled look, and replied, "I was just asking."

 "I'm sorry. I just can't find my costume."

 "Really? Maybe you just misplaced it."

 "No, last time I checked it was on this rack."

 Trevor, who was listening, said, "Go ask the girls. Maybe they know."

 Andrew rushed out the of the boys' dressing room. He knocked on the door. Then one of the girls, Bailey, opened the door. She asked him, "Andrew, what is it?"

 Andrew asked hastily, "Is my costume in your room?"

 "Why would your costume be in the girls' dressing room?"

 "I don't know, but just look."

 So Bailey closed the door, and look through the clothes rack. She didn't find Andrew's costume. She opened the dressing room door again, and saw Andrew standing outside.

 "Did you find my costume?" Andrew asked quickly.

 "No, I didn't see it," Bailey replied.

 Then Andrew started talking fast, "Ohgod! Immagonnabeperforminginamoment!"

 Bailey tried to calm him down, "Andrew, relax! We're going to find your costume, okay?"

 With that, the UTurn members went out their dressing rooms. They saw Andrew pacing around anxiously. Alyson walked up to him. She told him, "Andrew, calm down!"

 Andrew once again spoke very quickly, "Ican'tcalmdown! Immaabouttogoonstage!!!"

 Then Andrew started hyperventilating. The members tried to calm him down, but he ended up passing out. Justin and Trevor caught him, and carried Andrew into the guys' dressing room. They put him on a bench.

 Justin told the members, "Look, we'll let Andrew rest. Alyson, you stay with him whilst the rest of us go look for his costume."

 The members agreed, and they all split up...except for Libby. She stayed in the dressing room, watching Alyson stroking Andrew's hair. Libby has felt regret before, but it's much stronger. She regrets drifting away from Andrew, and cheating on him.

 She kept watching Alyson until Andrew started moving. Then Andrew's eyes opened, and started sitting up. With that, Libby ran out of the dressing room. Both Alyson and Andrew saw her run out.

 At the same time, Amanda was running around, looking for Andrew's costume. As she opened a box, she saw a person dressed in black, and wore a black hoodie over its' head. The person saw Amanda, and started running off.

 Amanda then chased after it. As she caught up to it, she yanked off the hood. The person was a guy, and turned reluctantly turned to face her. Amanda gasped in shocked, saying his name...Ethan!

 Amanda asked him angrily, "Ethan! What the hell are you doing here?!"

 Ethan answered coldly, "I read that tonight is the last night of UTurn's tour with Girls Aloud. So I decided to pay a secret visit by getting Andrew to freak out. I saw he freaked out big time when he couldn't find his costume. He completely passed out."

 Amanda was shocked when she heard that. She then demanded, "Give me Andrew's clothes. Now!"

 Ethan unzipped his jacket, and took out a folded up clothes cover. He reluctantly handed it to her, with Andrew's nametag and all. He then rolled his eyes, and exited of the arena's back doors.

 Amanda ran back into the guys' dressing room. She saw everyone in the room, and saw Andrew sitting up. She asked Alyson, "Is he okay now?"

 Alyson replied, "He's fine and talking, but he's still shaken up. Is that Andrew's costume your holding?"

 "It is, but it might be wrinkled. It's all folded up."

 Amanda handed the clothes to Andrew. He asked her, "Where'd you find it?"

 Amanda replied, "I don't mean to put you under more stress, but Ethan was here. He was the one who stole your costume."

 Andrew immediately became angry, and said, "That stupid motherf*cker won't give up! Did our restraining order on him expire, or what?"

 Alyson told him, "Andrew, we'll call for security. You get your outfit on. Okay?"

 Andrew agreed.

It's now midnight. UTurn were back in their hotel suite. As Andrew was about go into his bedroom in the suite, Alyson approached him. He asked her, "Aly, what is it?"

Alyson replied, "Can I sleep in your arms tonight? It's just that after what happened earlier, I want to, um..."

"You want to make sure I'm alright," Andrew finished her sentence as he gave her a smile.

"Can you?"

"Sure."

So Andrew led Alyson into his room. They both got into his bed. Andrew held her, but not too tightly. He felt safe with her. He didn't want to let her go. He then whispered into her ear, "I love you."

"I love you, too," Alyson said back to him.

At the same time, Libby overheard Alyson and Andrew talking. She went outside her room, and saw the teen couple going into Andrew's room.

 With that, Libby stormed out off her room. She marched up to a mini-bar, and took out a bottle of champagne. She started drinking from the bottle.

 Amanda came out of her room, and saw Libby chugging the bottle. She grabbed the bottle Libby's hands, and scolded her, "What the f*ck are you doing?!"

 By now Libby was drunk, so she slurred, "I want Andrew as my boyfriend. He's sexy, and sweet, and nice, and beautiful, and-and-and there's no word to describe him."

 Amanda picked Libby up on her feet, and lead her to her room. She put her on Libby's bed, and then Amanda went on her own bed.

 Libby, Andrew's mine, Amanda thought.
