Love By Mistake
You're Such A Girl Biersack
The drive home for Odessa was incredibly long and even more depressing than she had thought it would be. She had plugged Moira’s iPod into the dock and put on We Stitch These Wounds, which she had learned from Andy was BVB’s first major album. She sang along to the songs she knew and had gotten through the CD almost twice before finally reaching her house. Her mother wasn’t home and Odessa was grateful for that as she didn’t need a lecture.
Now if only Moira wasn’t home.
Thankfully the house was quiet and slowly Odessa walked up the stairs to her room to drop off her bags and change. She slipped off her tank top and shorts and pulled on an old pair of sweats and an old the Used shirt. This is usually what she wore when she worked down in the lair, mostly because she didn’t want to ruin even more of her clothes with paint and charcoal dust. Just as she was about to grab her sketch book and head down stairs to work, Odessa heard her phone vibrating against her dresser. Picking it up she noticed that there was already a text from Andy and something was attached to it.
Andy: I miss you already…
She laughed and shook her head, clicking the link in the text which turned out to be a picture. Andy had taken a selfie and he looked so sad it in that her heart nearly broke. He had this lost look on his face, his jaw set in a hard line as his eyes looked off into the distance. She wondered if he had taken that as he watched her drive away…
Dess: I know…I cried the entire car ride home : (
Andy: Aww…I cried in my bunk for a while but then Jinxx came and got me to tell me that we had made it to the venue. I’m getting ready to get on stage and wanted to talk to you.
Dess: Andy…we can’t be this sad. It isn’t normal.
Andy: No one ever said we had to be normal. I love the sketch you left me btw ; )
Dess: Go play your show! And you’re welcome… *air kiss*
She sighed and shook her head, the tears threatening to spill from her eyes once more but she pushed them back. Silently she headed downstairs to her studio and before settling down to finish her assignment for work, Odessa plugged Moira’s iPod into a small docking station in the corner. Soon she was getting lost in her work, the soothing sound of Andy’s voice making her miss him even more.
July faded into August and Odessa and Andy never went a day without speaking either on the phone or through Skype. He sent her selfies everyday, some of them funny and making her smile and others were provocative and sexy and they made her long for his touch even more. When they Skyped they tried to keep each other laughing and Andy kept encouraging Odessa to try to find herself again. One morning she awoke with the perfect idea. Driving over to her favorite tattoo studio Odessa was finally able to do something she had always wanted to do and couldn’t wait to surprise Andy with it later that night.
A few hours later, Odessa was just finishing up a story board for the new Batman movie that was in the process of shooting when finally she got an alert that Andy was calling her on Skype. She turned her laptop towards herself and was met with his bright blue eyes staring back at her. She smiled at him as she saw him smirk and give her a tiny wave.
“So I have a surprise for you…” She winked at him playfully as he rested his head in hands and sat there patiently.
Slowly she stood up and sat backwards in her desk chair so that her back was to the camera on her computer. She placed her hands on either side of her shirt and slowly lifted it up to reveal her surprise. Andy’s mouth dropped open at the big reveal and he was stunned to see that on either side of her back were rings with ribbon wound through them to over lap and form a tight corset lacing effect. The ribbon was black and silky looking and Andy wished he was there so that he could run his fingers beneath the smooth fabric. He heard her giggle and saw her gently pull her shirt down as she got up and turned around to face him again.
“What on Earth…” He stuttered as she laughed again, obviously pleased with herself as she smirked at him. Her smile was intoxicating and Andy only wished that he could be there to see it in person.
“I’ve always wanted one and so today I just went out and did it. What do you think?” She seemed hesitant, like she was worried he wouldn’t give his approval.
“I love it. It’s so delicate looking and just fits with your personality. Did it hurt?” He knew that it probably had since she had seven piercings on each side of her back and they would’ve had to be deep to keep the rings in and support the ribbon.
“Not as much as I thought. Aren’t you guys shooting your music video tomorrow?” She sighed, placing her chin in her hand as she watched him run a hand through his messy hair.
“Would you send me a selfie of your piercing when your sister gets home? Yeah, our call time isn’t until 3pm tomorrow so you have me all night.” He laughed and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
“What is it with you and selfies? I have so many pictures of you on my phone Moira hardly lets me have it anymore. You’re such a girl Biersack.” She stuck her tongue out at him.
“I figured you’d miss me, plus you send me just as many. Ashley is still obsessing over the one you sentwhere you were in your underwear with no bra on!” Andy laughed loudly and heard Ashley yell an offended ‘hey!’ from the front of the bus.
“I was just showing you the work I had done on my rose and watch tattoo. It still hurts actually.” She rubbed her side slowly to prove her point and he looked sad for a moment.
“So when are you flying out?” He could never remember the date of her arrival and she vowed silently to buy him some sort of organizer.
“My plane lands at LAX on the 5th at 2:45. You can still come to pick me up right?” She asked as she heard a door open and slam from somewhere in her house and she knew that Moira was home.
“Of course! Who do you think is gonna be there to get you, CC?” He laughed and his eyes got wide as he looked at something over Odessa’s left shoulder.
“Andy!” Moira shouted as she came up from behind her sister and pushed Odessa out of the way.
“Hey Moirabear.” Andy laughed and Moira giggled at his kid-sister nickname for her.
“Goodbye Moira…” Odessa rolled her eyes and pushed her younger sister out of the way and mouthed an ‘I’m so sorry’ to Andy, who in turn just laughed.
“So I’m sending you a link of an interview that I did and I want you to watch it. It’s hilarious and Matt Good did it with me so it’s even better.” His eyes were lowered as he was clicking away on his computer and Odessa looked at him closely.
She loved the way he looked when he was concentrated on something, his brows furrowed and he always bit down on his lip ring when he thought really hard about something. She couldn’t help it, but Odessa could feel herself falling hard for Andy as they got to know each other more and more over time. He had kept true to his word that they would stay connected and she wondered if maybe things could work in their favor after all.
“Here, I’ll leave you to watch this since the guys have been calling me out to the front to go over tomorrow’s shoot. I’ll text you goodnight in a bit.” He smiled at her, his eyes sad at the thought of having to part after such a short conversation. She blew him a kiss and bid her goodbyes.
Settling in her chair, Odessa pulled her cat Alfred into her lap and watched the new Bryan Stars interview with Andy and Matt Good. She laughed out loud and was nearly crying from laughter by the end of it and it made her feel better to see him so happy. After the video was done Odessa decided to get into bed since she had an early meeting the next day to discuss her upcoming LA trip with Matt her boss. She only had a week until she would see Andy again and Odessa hoped that it would go by quickly.
Softly she heard her phone buzzing on her nightstand and as Odessa turned to pick her phone up she smiled at the message on the screen.
Andy: I wanted YOU to get naked when I said that in the interview. Hope you have sweet dreams…I know I will because you’ll be in them. XOXO

Notes
Thanks for the reviews! So here's the thing: I talk a lot about Andy and his selfies and I also reference a lot of things, like songs, interviews and experiences. I actually spend a lot of time looking at pictures of the band while I'm writing to get an idea in my head of how to describe things. So-I have created a tumblr that is connected to this story. Each chapter will have reference pictures on there(I only have up to chapter 3 so far) and those pictures will be tagged with what chapter they go with. This is just a fun idea I had so that when you guys read a chapter you can go to the tumblr and look over pictures to get a better image in your mind.Love By Mistake on Tumblr
Please review and tell me your thoughts on both the chapter and on this idea of mine! <3
@TheQuietOne
Aww well I'm glad you liked it so much and that I was your first. Some times I reread this story because, honestly, it's my favorite out of the ones I've written.
