Only Exception

4

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

And I'm on my way to believing.

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing."

She ends with the slight roll of the wrist. She looks up at me with almost tears in her eyes. " Would it be a bad thing if I asked you to join us on our next tour?" I blurt out. She looks up at me shocked. " Well, one step at a time. What did you think?" she asks.

" That's why I asked. You're amazing. How long have you been playing?" I ask again. She just stares at me with a smile. She's crying but she still has a smile. Weird. I pull her into a hug and with out thinking, I pull away and kiss her. Like, an actually kiss. Not just some small one on her head.

We both pull away. She blushes and hides behind her hair. I look away hoping she wont be mad I just did that. " Andy," she says. I slowly looked back at her. " You don't have to worry," She says. " Did I say that out loud?" I ask. " No. I read body language, Andy. You're going to have to try harder to hide your feelings around me," She says. I smile and place one of my hands on her knees.

Emily"s POV

He placed his hand on my knee. My breathe hitches. So long world. I'm not going to be able to breath until Andy removes his hand. It's like he's choking me but with just the slight touch of his fingers. He glances up at me. I stand up and hand him the guitar.

" No, no, no. Will you play a song with me?" He asks. I roll my eyes and pull the guitar back. " Okay, I'll pick the song. You might not know this one, though," he says with a wink. He sturms and immediantly picks up.

"When you fall asleep with your head. upon my shoulder.

When you're in my arms but you've gone somewhere deeper.

Are you going to age with grace?

Are you going to age without mistakes?

Are you going to age with grace,

Or only to wake and hide your face?

When oblivion is calling out your name,

You always take it further than I ever can.

When you play it hard, and I try to follow you there.

It's not about control but I turn back when I see where you go.

Are you going to age with grace?

Are you going to leave a path to trace?

But oblivion is calling out your name,

You always take it further than I ever can.

When oh oblivion is calling out your name,

You always take it further than I ever can."

I start singing half way throught the song. I didn't realize the song until it go to the middle. " I love 'Oblivion'. That's my favtorite song from Bastille," I say looking down. " Well, 'Only Exception' is okay as well," He smirks.

" Well, that's because Paramore is just that awesome," I say leaning on Andy's shoulder. " Okay, what now?" he asks. " Wake the boys and go do something fun before the day is over," I suggest. " We could do that," He smirks. I could feel it up against my head.

" What else do you have in mind?" I ask. " We better not," He hints. " You're kidding me, right. That's your idea of fun? That's sad," I say sitting up and moving to the other side of the couch. I put my feet right next to him. He grabs my bent knee and looks over at me.

" That might be Ashley's idea of fun," he laughs. " Hey!" We hear someone yell. Together, we shoot our eyes to the bunk door. The boys all stood there, staring at us. " I'm not that sick," Ash calls out. " Well, that's true. But we don't know that," I state.

He just glares. Andy pushes on my knee almost as if it is helping him stand. I look away from the guys. I know what they are thinking. That it's always Andy that the girls fall for. Well, that wasn't all that true. I once had a crush on Ashley. But that was then. This is now.

I have a little crush on all of them. Who wouldn't? They're our heros. I don't know anyone that would like one band member and hate the rest. Because you can't say you're in the BVB army and not think that Jake, Ashley, CC, and Jinxx aren't your hero's. They created the songs, too.

I continue to think about this until CC walks over and sits next to me. He smiles as if he isn't mad at what he saw but then again, he usually always looks mad. So, I'm probably just imagining that. " Emily, you can't ignore us," he says softly. " I can if you let me," I whisper. I stand and walk over to my suitcase. Leaning over, I grab my clothes for the day.

I walk to the back where the bathroom. Ashley giggles as I walk by. " Cut it out," I say pulling down on the giant shirt I was wearing. Quickly changing into black skinny jeans, white tank, and a black SWS tee that hangs over my left shoulder, I listen to the small conversation from outside the door.

" Dude, have you noticed Andy and M?" Ashley asks. " Yeah, what about them?" CC asks. " Did you not see what happened?" Jake butts in. " Well, yeah. But did you see what M did after? She was embarrassed. That is a way of showing that was the first time," CC added. " That's true, but bring your voice down. She's right in there," Jinxx says.

There is some rustling and then the conversation begins again. I can't hear them but I know it was about me and Andy. Pushing the door open, I let my rage fill the room. Ashley grabs my arm as I walk by. I just glare at him. " Ashley, I swear, you will wish you hadn't done that," I say pulling my wrist away.

He let's go and sinks back into his bunk as I walk away. Entering the living room, I head straight for my suitcase. I grab my phone and my headphones and , once again, I lay on the floor and blast the music in my ears. Andy stands up from the couch and walks over to me. This time I don't open my eyes.

Tears slowly begin to falll down my face. I tried to hold them in, but repaying what I heard in my head didn't help it. Andy srtoked my hair. " Andy, please?" I beg. " What happened?" he asks. " Ask the boys," I state finally looking up at Andy. He gives me a soft smile and stands up. What have I done?
