Chapter 4-Pancakes

Abbie woke up the next morning with the sun shining through her window. She tensed, her heart raced faster than her hooves could ever go, and her eyes were wide with worry. It took her a second to realize she was in her new room in Andy's apartment. She sat up and yawned, her Andy plushie in her hand. She smiled at it and started to make her bed. When she finished, she sat in one the white chairs by the window and looked outside. The busy streets were filled with people and cars going in all different directions. She smiled to herself and glanced at her digital clock. It was about nine. She wasn't sure what to do, so she walked out of her room to see if anyone else was awake yet. The living room was empty and quiet and the door to Andy's room was closed, so she assumed he was still asleep. She yawned and sat on one of the couches, staring at the blank T.V. screen.

After a half an hour, Andy walked out of his room and smiled at her.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked, sitting next to her and turning on the T.V.

"Good, you?" Abbie replied, watching his actions carefully. She wanted to be able to turn the device on by herself eventually.

"Perfect," he grinned. He changed the channel to one that was playing music videos.  

"Hey that's us!" he laughed, turning the volume up. What sounded like a violin started to play, creating a fast and beautiful melody, and Andy's voice singing out loud and clear along with what sounded like a children's choir, "In the end, as we fade into the night..." His face appeared on screen, revealing him in a desert that looked a lot like the place where the Black Army had their last battle. "Who will tell the story of your life?" The other's instruments started to play. Abbie looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" he asked, laughing slightly.

"I didn't know you guys were that good!" she exclaimed, pointing to the TV screen. He laughed.

"Well, you're about to find out just how good we are," he told her, his amazing blue eyes sparkling.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"You're going to come to practice with us today."

"I am?"

"Yup! I don't have anyone to watch you, so why not? Besides, I'm taking you on Warped Tour with me and I want you to be used to our music," he added.

"I'm not sure what this 'Warped Tour' is, but cool!" she laughed.

When the music video was over, Juliet walked out of Andy's room.

"Morning sleepy head," Andy greeted.

"Morning Andy, Abbie," she replied, stretching.

"What do you guys want for breakfast?" Andy asked.

"Since when do you cook?" Juliet said, sitting on the chair next to the couch.

"I was planning on ordering," he replied flatly.

"Oh. In that case, pancakes!"

"I'm good," Abbie said, shrugging slightly. Andy looked at her and shook his head. "Have you seen yourself lately? You're all skin and bones! Seriously, Abbie. You may be used to eating little and barely ever, but you don't need to worry about that anymore. Really, what do you want?" he said firmly.

"I don't know," she said quietly, shrugging again.

"Fine. You'll get pancakes like the rest of us," he said, going to the phone. He ordered the food and came back to the couch.

"What's on the agenda today?" Andy asked Juliet.

"Band practice. We just came back from a tour. I can't believe we have to go on another one in a couple weeks," she replied with a sigh.

"Tell me about it," Andy added with a nod. A few minutes later, the pancakes came with an overly-cheery Ashley fallowing close behind.

"What are you doing here?" Andy asked.

"I smelled food," Ashley shrugged, sitting next to Abbie. She looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"What? I'm hungry!" he exclaimed.

"Because it's honestly that hard to pick up a phone and order food for yourself," Juliet muttered. Abbie smirked.

"Exactly! Besides, I know my favorite girl and my best friend would share with me," he winked.

"Flattery will get you no where," Juliet said.

"I was talking about Abbie," Ashley smirked. Abbie giggled. Juliet glared at her.

"It's ok, I'll share with you, Purdy Pants," Abbie smiled.

"See? She's nice!" Ashley exclaimed, hugging her. Andy handed Abbie, Ashley, and Juliet, plates piled high with pancakes and covered in syrup, and sat down on the other side of Abbie with his own plate. Abbie poked a pancake with her fork and looked at Ashley, who was shoving pancakes in his mouth. She took a small bite and thought for a moment.

"What do you think?" Andy asked. She hadn't realized he and Ashley had been watching her.

"It's pretty good," she said, taking another bite.

"Yes! We got her to eat something!" Andy exclaimed, giving Ashley a high five.

"Am I missing something?" Juliet asked, taking a bite of her pancakes.

"Yes," Abbie said. Juliet glared at her.

"Abbie barely ate anything at camp," Andy explained. Juliet nodded. Abbie managed to eat two entire pancakes before feeling full. Once she was done, she gave the rest of her pancakes to Ashley, who accepted them hungrily, and skipped off to her room to get ready. She combed through her black hair quickly and looked at all of the Hot Topic bags that littered her room. She found a pair of black skinny jeans and pulled them on, then picked a black tank top with bones that were supposed to look like her rib cage and a bleeding heart. Then she pulled on her black combat boots and walked back out to the living room, where Andy and Ashley stood ready to go.

"Man you guys get ready fast," she remarked.

"It's a guy thing," Andy shrugged. They said good bye to Juliet and walked out of the apartment. Once they got to the parking lot, they found Andy's black Porche and climbed in.

"So... what's practice like?" Abbie asked. Andy and Ashley looked at each other and smirked.

"A lot like camp... only with more instrument playing," Andy said.

"And less people," Ashley added.

"But it's still a lot of fun," Andy added as they pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road.

"Yeah, you'll see," Ashley said with an evil-looking grin.
Yup! Sorry it's been a while... I've been distracted and sort of forgot to update it. -.-'

Let me know what you think!
