The Prophet and The Fallen Angel chapter two

Chapter two: Joining the Army
I took his hand not knowing if this was real or just a dream that I would slowly wake up from. Andy’s smile so perfect and always flawless it could steal any girl’s breath, but what I loved the most about him was his eyes. He walked me to his car it was a simple black Camaro I got into the passenger’s seat but looked out the window at the shadows of the hospital. I could make out a tall black figure with horns my heart picked up speed, I was hoping that fear was my nightmare but now I’m not so sure. I wouldn’t stop looking at even when Andy pulled out of the parking lot and headed off to god knows where.

“So I’m working on a new album with the guys.” Andy said I looked at him before looking ahead of me smiling, I knew what he was talking about Wretched and Divine. I nodded before closing my eyes I must have dozed off cause once I woken up Andy had parked I looked and saw Ashley’s bike next to me. We must be at the recording studio I could already hear CC’s laughter Jinxx must be telling something funny. I got out of the car and looked around warily I didn’t trust anything; fear is what caused me to be in the psych ward to begin with. Andy got out of the car and locked it before walking in the doors of the studio as casually as he could I smiled amused.

“Hey guys we have a new friend.” Andy called CC was the first to greet me “Heya!” he said cheerfully I smiled and nodded I knew what they would be called by the rebels in the fight of the rebels and F.E.A.R but that was to come soon not now. “Hello CC.” I said he looked at my plain clothes in confusion “Where did you get such…plain clothes I smiled grimly but didn’t answer. I walked past him and smiled at each of the guys Ashley was closest to me, “Hello Ashley, Jake, and Jinxx.” I said politely Andy was on my other side watching with curiosity.

“Guys this is Laura.” Andy said I nodded and looked around feeling a little out of place since I was the only one wearing white. “What is she doing here?” Jinxx asked I looked over at him it wasn’t a harsh question but a curious one so I went to the bathroom so Andy can tell them where exactly he went and where he found me. I stared at myself in the mirror I looked like a scared little girl, I sighed and washed my face and stared long and hard at my reflection.

There was a soft knock on the door “You ok in there Laura?” it was Jake’s voice I straightened up and opened the door. Jake stepped back to let me pass him I nodded at him and walked by, “So Laura…Andy has told us where he met you...is it true?” I looked over at Ashley he looked back curiously.  “Well yeah…my parents didn’t believe that you guys were real.” I said everyone shook their heads in confusion I just shrugged and found a chair to sit in. I looked over at the table in the middle of the room; there was a notebook opened up and a pen on a page.

While everyone voice their opinions on how wrong and sad it was, I leaned over and grabbed the notebook everything was hand written there notes and scribbles about something I didn’t get. “Hey!” Andy’s voice snapped me out of my trance I looked up at him he had his hand outstretched to me. I slowly gave back the notebook and looked at the ground, “I-I’m sorry I was just curious.” I said softly the room got silent and I could feel everyone’s eyes on me it was like school all over again. The teacher taking away my notebook and sent me to the office, the phone call home, the argument at home, then next thing I know I was being forced to go to a psychiatric  hospital.

I closed my eyes as I began to remember how the nurses and doctors would try to take away my stuff, I would scream and fight but that only got me a shot in the neck that made me go limp. Everyone was against me treated me like a rat experiment, that’s when I saw it…the horrible thing that reminded me of death and sadness. The only thing I had left was my rosary I had custom made the dark figure wouldn’t go near me. It was as if the rosary stopped it but I guess it could have been my imagination, “Laura?” Andy was closer to me know but I didn’t open my eyes I felt a gentle hand on my back that made me jump slightly. But the hand didn’t move away it was just softly rubbing my back I opened my eyes to see everyone watching me I looked to my left and saw Ashley sitting next to me but his hand wasn’t on my back.

I turned to my right and saw Andy his blue eyes shown worry, concern, and a slight bit of confusion I took a deep breath and forced a smile as if nothing was wrong. “So um what are you guys working on?” I asked everyone seemed to relax “Just the best damn album yet!” Jake said I grinned and saw Andy get up but Ashley still was sitting next to me. “You got that right Jake!” Andy said I nodded and watched them joke and laugh about how much fans will love this album. But I just stared at the notebook in Andy’s hand wondering what was written, “You ok? You’re spacing out a lot.” Ashley said I looked at him and shrugged giving a half smile.

“Yeah I was just thinking that’s all.” I said before getting up and walking over to Andy. He looked over at me and smiled “Something wrong?” he asked I nodded slowly and sighed “I need clothes.” I said Andy’s smile faltered “fine we can go to ho-“ I cut him off “No I want my clothes from my house..we have to go to my house.” I said his blue eyes darkened “Laura…there’s something I need to tell you about your parents.” Andy said his voice was slow and gentle as if breaking the sad news that something bad has happened. My stomach dropped as I waited for him to tell me “What is it Andy?” I asked softly Andy took a deep breath before saying “Laura your parents….”
