HAPPY 25TH B-DAY ANDY BIERSACK!!!

Melanie P.O.V.
The next morning
The events that occurred last night run through my head like a wildfire.
Forever and always.. We basically said that we will never leave each others side even if we are still friends. I was looking out the window when I heard a light shuffling beside me. I look over at Andy, and he was just moving in his sleep. I lightly giggle at him. I freeze. I just laughed.....not a loud laugh but a giggle, a not so feminine giggle that people would mistakes for a choking donkey, but a genuine laugh. I just realize, that Andy is the one that is making me feel emotions that I haven't felt in what feels like forever, or never experienced. Like the need to always be at his side, or to comfort him, or to always feel safe when I am around him. I sigh happily at the thought of him. Apperantly that sigh was too loud because Andy jolts up, and looks around in the room with an alarmed look. When our eyes meet, his worried face immediately makes a tired smile. My eyes go wide at this sight and my heart rate picks up dramatically. But I smile back, knowing I don't look as half of good looking as he does. My hair probably looks like a fat crow built a nest that it can't fit in, eyes probably have bags under them, and my face and body in terrible shape.
"Good morning sleepy head." I smile.
His breath hitches, and he smiles again. My breath hitches this time.
"Good morning, how long have you been awake?" His voice is husky and raspy, and I almost attack him like a wild animal, but resist that insane urge.
"Ummm....since about 6:21, I am a morning person and I got to watch the sun rise!" The sun doesn't rise until about 7:00 since it's December. Andy groans loudly, and I look at him confused. He is flopped down on his futon with his hands rubbing up and down his face.
"What's today's date?"
"The 26th I think."
"Nooooo!" He groaned again.
"Is it that your busy today, because you can leave I'll be fi-"
"No I'm not leaving you," my heart flutters "it's just today is-" just then the door busted open and four men carrying balloons and wearing party hats with those things in there mouths that swirl in and spiral out like a frog's tounge. One of them is wearing a hospital dress, so I know that he is currently a patient.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!!!!!" They yell together. I gasp. Andy glares at them, and they look over at me. There jaws drop, and there eyes trail my body. I cower back, and Andy stands up and growls.
"Don't check her out you pervs!" He yells.
"Sorry, she is just so gorgeous!" One of them exclaims. I blush lightly and smile. There jaws drop again.
"MINE!" Andy growls.  I decide to speak up, and calm Andy's murderous look.
"It's OK Andy, they are just curious." They gasp at my voice. I burst out laughing. I laugh so hard, I have to hold my ribs to prevent the sharp pain. When I finish, I am wiping my tears. I look up and they are all looking at me in awe. I smile at Andy, and he looks strained. I should introduce myself.
"Hi my name is Melanie Grace, what's yours?" The little party horns in their mouths fall out. I giggle.
"My name is Jinxx." One of them speaks up. I nod at him and look at the one in the hospital dress.
"Cc." I smile and look at the next.
"Jake Pitts." I smile at him, and he looks at me confusingly.
"What?" I ask.
"You're not going to make fun of my name?"
"Why would I?"
"My last name is Pitts..."
"Well, that's you're name and my name isn't that great either."
"What do you mean?" Cc starts singing the song by Justin Beiber.
I crinkel my nose, and he stops. They look at me and look confused.
"I am not a fan of Justin Beiber." I say. Then look at the next person.
"Ashely." He waves and I smile. I look at Andy, and he is staring at me. I glare at him, and he looks confused. He starts to look scared, and glare harder.
"And you..." I say standing up. They all gasp, because of my height or that I am able to stand with broken ribs. I walk up to And who is still towering over me. I look up at him and he looks terrified. I am still glaring.
"HOW COME..... You didn't tell me it is your BIRTHDAY!!!!????" I smile while saying the last part. Andy sighs relived, and the group of men start laughing.
"Well, these idiots make me dread my birthday." He says.
"They are just trying to show appreciation tword you.."
"Yeah!" The four men scream behind me. I laugh and walk up to them and grab a party hat. I smile and yell
"Happy Birthday Andy!!" He smiles from where he is sitting and stands up, walks up to me and kisses my forehead. I close my eyes and smile.
Then it hits me..."Oh my gosh!" They look at me confused and I smile a big smile. "Yesterday was CHRISTMAS!!!!"
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!"  I yell. I jump up to Andy's night and kiss him on the cheek. He gasp and holds me close to him. The sparks.. I smile up at him, and start singing. Happy birthday. Everyone but Andy joins in. Andy is just looking down at me smiling. When we finish everyone except me and Andy cheer. Andy and I are looking at each other with small smiles on our faces. I see a flash go off and break contact. I realize Ashely just took a picture. I look at him and he smiles. He has one of those automatic cameras that immediately print out pictures. He hands the pictures to Andy and says
"Happy birthday, man." Andy smiles at the picture and shows it to me. I gasp. It is a perfect picture. I am facing the side that doesn't have anything but a scratch and a bruise or two. I smile at Andy's face. His pearly whites are showing, and his dimples are exposed. Our foreheads are leaning against each other's and our noses are off by millimeters. I smile once again and hand the picture back to Andy. I smile at him and pull away. He immediately grabs my arm, pulls me back to him and lifts me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. I look at him and his eyes are dark, but he is smiling. I smile at him and rest my head on his chest. Another flash goes off, and I look at Ashely. He smirks and hands Andy the photo again. Andy smiles, and says
"These are all going in my office." I am about to ask him what his job is, when Cc jumps in.
"Now can we get this party started?"
"In a hospital?" I ask.
"Sure, we brought food, and Andy's playlist."
"OK!" I yell. I wonder what type of music Andy listens to? Cc and Jinxx set up a table of  food and Ashely and Andy are talking. I am still in Andy's arms resting my head on his chest. I am about to drift off to sleep when I hear a familiar beat playing.  I shoot out of Andy's arms and start dancing. They all look at me confused when. I start singing the lyrics of "Sleepwalking" by Bring Me The Horizon. They look up at me surprised, and I start dancing. Cc gets up and joins me. I hear growling and realize it's Andy. He pulls me by the waist tword him and I start laughing. I move my hips to the beat and he is copying my rythm. Another flash goes off but I ignore it. I smile and laugh with Andy. "Best Birthday present ever." I hear Andy's deep voice in my ear. I turn around blushing. By now everyone I dancing and laughing. The song changes and the song "Say It Ain't So" By Weezer plays. I start moving my hips again. My ribs hurt a little, I whimper a little. Andy picks me up and I do the same movements as earlier. He spins us slowly. I kiss his cheek, another flash. I whisper in Andy's ear, "Best Christmas ever, despite everything that happened it got me to you again." Andy pulls me away. I look at him confused. He stares at me for 5 seconds before he smashes his soft lips on mine. Fireworks. We  move our lips I sequence. I smile and he does the same as we continue to kiss. Another flash goes off. I look at Ashely and yell:
"I want a copy too!" He throws up and ok sign and I turn back to Andy and smash my lips against his again. We kiss blissfully unaware of the world around us. I found my personal heaven, something that can protect me from anything, and anyone. Make me feel pure hapiness and joy. Forever and Always.
