Andy's POV

"Wake your ass up! We're home!" Jake said as he shook my awake. "Leave me alone!" I grumbled still half asleep. "Dude we need to be in the house before Angel wakes up." Jake said as he grabbed my arm and tugged on me. I was still half-asleep so it took a moment for everything to register, but once it did my body kicked into to over-drive.To everyone else, I'm sure it looked like I was just happy to be home, or I was ready to get in the house and call Juliet. It was neither of those things. I just wanted to see Angel. By the time everybody else was dressed and getting off of the bus, I had already gotten dressed and had the majority of the bags in the house. I couldn't help it! My body was filled with excitement. "What the hell is up with you?" Jinxx asked as I grabbed a bag from him with a smile on my face. "Fuck!" I thought nervously. "What do mean?" I asked very clearly trying to hide my nervousness from Jinxx. I should have known that it wouldn't fucking work. "You're excited about something. I can tell. SO what is it?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Jinxx knew me better than anyone, sometimes it was a good thing sometimes it was a bad thing. Today it happened to be a bad thing. "I can't be excited to be home?" I asked in a very defensive tone. "When you say it like that, no." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest. See the problem with being friends with one person for so long is, 1. They inevitably knew how you acted when you felt a certain way. 2.They knew when you were lying. 3.They knew every-fucking-thing. I sighed softly. "I'm excited to see her." I said softly. It wasn't a lie, I just didn't tell him which "her" I was talking about. "Umm... Juliet?" He asked as he uncrossed his arms. "Not exactly." I said softly. "Then who?" He asked, his tone sounding utterly confused. I was about to explain, when a familiar voice cut in. "Andrew Dennis Biersack! I know you did not cut off all of that gorgeous hair!" I heard her call from the front door. My breath was taken from me as soon as I saw her. "That's who." I said softly. Jinxx's mouth fell open in surprise. I watched as she descended the stairs and made her way towards us. She had grown up quite a bit since the last time I had saw her. She had gotten bigger, but not in a bad way. She had curves now. He legs were long and slender, her hips full, her breasts were the perfect size(a low B-cup), her face had thinned out, and her hair was now short, it was also dyed black. She was gorgeous! I'd never seen anything more beautiful in my life! My heart began to race. As soon as she got to me, she wrapped her arms about my midsection. I looked over at Jinxx who just decided to walk away from us and into the house. Once there was nobody outside except for her and I, I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed tight. "A-andy." She said my name like a lover would and it sent sparks through me. I noticed something rather unusual then, she was wearing a sweater and shorts. It was fucking summertime in L.A! I ignored it though, I was just happy to have her back in my arms. "Hey." I said softly as I idly stroked her hair. I heard a sniffle come from her and my whole entire body tensed up. "What's wrong!?" I asked in a panic. "Nothing.... I j-just missed you... and..." She trailed off and buried her face into my chest. "It's okay." I said softly. "I'm home now." I said in a comforting tone. I was never good at handling these types of things, but I would try to be for her. I would do anything for her. "I know, but... I won't be able to talk to you... Like I used to." She said quietly. I felt a stabbing pain in my stomach at her words. "Why?" I asked, trying not to sound panicked. "I............ I can't tell you Andy." She said as she looked down at her feet. I took her face in my hands, and made her look at me. "Tell me." I demanded. Tears began to stream down her cheeks. It felt like ice was flowing through my veins instead of blood. "Because..." She said her voice barely a whisper, "He'll hurt me again." She said softly. My hands dropped from her face as anger overwhelmed me. "Again?" I asked through clenched teeth. She closed her eyes and inhaled slowly as she began to roll up the sleeves on her sweater. A stab of pain went through my heart then. There were bruises all over both of her arms. There were even some welts. I began to feel sick, the anger was too much for me. "Why would you let somebody do this to you?" I asked as calmly as I could manage. She looked down at her feet and a little wet spot appeared on the driveway. "He's b-bigger t-t-than me." She stammered through her tears. More little wet spots appeared on the driveway and my anger began to quickly fade away. It was a wonder how such a sweet girl could get treated the way that she was obviously being treated. "Let's go inside." I sighed out before taking her hand in mine and leading her up the driveway, the stairs, and into the house.
