Angels and Saviors and Whatnot

My body jerked violently as Andy shook me, trying to wake me up. I felt his tears on my face and heard his cries but I couldn't respond. I wanted to move, but all I could do was lay there with my eyes closed.

"ALLI!! Alli please!!!" He kept crying, holding me to his chest and sobbing. I found the strength in my arm and hand to stroke his hair, to try to calm him down, to tell him that I was okay. I heard him stop crying and felt his eyes on me.

"A-Andy," I choked out.

"Alli! Alli baby, I'm right here, open your eyes, please Alli!" He cupped my face in his hands and brought me closer to him, close enough to feel his warm breath on my face.

"A-Andy, please, I n-need to breathe." I tried to sit up and I felt his hands guide me to the couch.

My eyes opened and I saw blue and red lights flashing outside. I went to rub my head and found blood on a newly placed welt. Great.

"Is my father...?"

"In the squad car? Yes," An unfamiliar voice said. I looked up and saw a man in a police uniform.

"I'm Jeremy's dad, or Officer Ferguson."

"Jeremy?" Who's Jeremy?

"You know him as Jinxx. Alli, how long has your father been doing this to you?"

"Uhm, ever since my mom died. That was about 11 years ago."

"And how often did he hit you?"

My eyes swelled up with tears and I replied "Once or twice daily, depending on how drunk he was."

"Was there a specific reason he hit you, dear?" He was writing the things I said down on a little notebook.

"Mostly because I didn't do my chores exactly when I was supposed to, how I was supposed to, like if I did them 'wrong' he would hit me, but other than that, just because he was drunk." A few tears spilled down my cheeks and I felt Andy hug me from behind.

"Allison have you ever retaliated? Ever tried to fight back?" He looked at me seriously and I thought for a minute.

"When it first started, I fought back, I got away, ONCE, but after that, I knew it would be over soon, so...no, not since that first time." I looked back at Andy and saw that he was crying too. I gave him a sympathetic smile and turned back to Officer Ferguson.

"Anything you need to tell me or ask me?" he asked.

"Who will I stay with? Am I eligible to live by myself?"

"How old are you again sweetheart?"

"17 sir," I told him.

"Since you are not yet 18, no, you are not eligible to live by yourself. But since you are over 16, you get to choose who you stay with."

"I'd like to stay with Andy and his family," I said, looking up at Andy's brightened expression.

"You may stay with them, Mrs. Creeves. You may use this house whenever you would like to, and if you want to sell it, that's okay too."

"Yes sir, thank you Officer," I said with a smile. He smiled back and walked out the door.

"You want to live with me and my family?" Andy asked.

"Yes, I do," I said with a smile.

Suddenly, I heard shouting outside and the blare of police sirens.

"GO GET HIM, HE'S LOOSE!!" I heard an officer shout.

"Wait, what? What's going on?" Jake asked.

"I dunno, sounds like someone got away..." Ashley said worriedly. Jinxx and his dad came through my front door with frantic looks on their faces.

"Allison, you need to hide. Now. Your father escaped, and he's looking for you. Hide, anywhere, you can," Jinxx said.

"Andy...Can I come to your house?" I asked.

"Yeah sure, just pack a bag, and we'll gladly take you in," he said.

"Alright."

I ran up to my room as fast as my sore body would let me and started packing everything I owned, which wasn't a lot. Just a couple pairs of jeans, some t-shirts, bras and underwear, and 2 pairs of shoes. They all fit in my little travel bag which was about half the size of my school bag. I dragged that along with me as I headed downstairs.

"I'm ready Andy."

"Alli, that's all you have? When they catch your dad, we're going shopping for more clothing. No questions." Andy said as he dragged me out of my house. We walked over to his house and threw open his front door.

"MOM! DAD! ALLI'S GONNA BE LIVING HERE FOR A WHILE!" Andy screamed.

"WHY IS THAT HUN?" his mother screamed back.

Andy groaned and took my hand.

"C'mon, let's go tell them really quick," he said, walking towards what I think is his dining room. We found his mom and dad sitting at the dinner table with envelopes and envelope openers.

"Mom, Dad, you remember Alli?"

"Of course we do, hello again sweetheart," his mother said with a warm smile.

"Hello Mrs. Biersack," I said, waving awkwardly.

"Alli needs a place to stay for a little while. Her dad had...business to take care of. Is it alright if she stays with us?" Andy asked, sounding a little annoyed.

"Yeah, she can sleep in your room or on the couch whatever is better for her," his dad said.

"Alright, cool."

He took my hand again and led me upstairs to his room. He opened a door covered in signs, and stepped inside.

His room was covered in posters, KISS posters, Motley Crue posters, ACDC and many more bands I haven't really heard of. His walls (where there weren't posters) were blood red, and his carpet was black. His bed had dark red blankets and pillows and his dressers were black and sliver. Lets just say his room is a lot cooler than mine. He even had a little couch and mini fridge.

"Like it? I customized it myself, with some financial help from my parents of course." I heard Andy say from behind me.

"This is amazing," I breathed.

"You can pick what you wanna sleep on, unless it's the couch, then I'll say no," he added with a smirk. I walked over to his dresser and saw a jar of black warpaint.

"Dude, no way!" I exclaimed, picking up the jar.

"What?" Andy gave me a confused look .

"You have warpaint, you HAVE to let me try some on you!" I squealed. He let out a heavy sigh.

"Everything entertains you, child," he said with a slight laugh. He sat down on his bed and patted a spot next to him. I picked up a tiny paint brush beside the jar of warpaint and ran over to the bed, a big goofy grin on my face.

"Hold still, this'll take a while," I said, taking the lid off of the jar and starting my masterpiece.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I was done, Andy looked like there was angel wings around his eyes. He had some lines stretching out to his cheeks, and his chin, and he looked like a warrior with some black smudged on his lips.

"Lemme seeeeee," he whined. I let him get up and walk over to his mirror.

"Alli, this looks incredible, when we get famous, you have to do this for us," he said, admiring himself in the mirror. He turned around and hugged me, careful not to smudge the paint.

"I need to show mom and dad!"

He raced out of his room and down the stairs yelling "MOM, ALLI MADE ME LOOK AWESOME!"

I slowly followed, I was laughing at his childishness, and trying not to trip over my clumsy self. When I finally made it downstairs and into the dining room, Andy was showing his mom and dad who seemed to be marveling over the paint on his face.

"Alli, you did this?" His father asked.

"Yes sir, doesn't it look amazing?" I smiled and bowed like a magician who had put on an amazing show.

"Alright Alli, let's go take this off," Andy finally said, pulling me back upstairs and into his room. When we got inside, he closed the door and locked it.

"Why'd you lock the door?" I asked.

"So we don't have intruders," he said as he walked towards me with wide smirk.

"Something tells me you want to either kiss me, or you REALLY want me to take this makeup off," I said, laughing slightly.

"Well, more of the first one but yes, I would like this to come off now," he replied.

"Alrighty then." I looked around and found some make up remover wipes, and I cleaned off his face. His lips were still black and I was about to wipe it off when he stopped me.

"Lemme do something," he said. He leaned down a kissed my nose, leaving a black lip print on the tip of my nose. I laughed and wiped it off, reaching up and wiping the rest of it off of his lips.

"Now, princess, I'd like a kiss."

I smiled and put my face close to his. He closed his eyes and leaned down.

"Too bad," I whispered, and I darted out from underneath his grasp, giggling like the Mad Hatter.

"Hey, that's not fair," he whined and he started chasing after me. I ran for my life, honestly, and I jumped over his bed and ran in circles trying to get away from him.

"Come here! I wanna kiss youuu!" He yelled, and kept chasing me.

"You gotta catch me fir-". I couldn't finish, I was scooped up by a pair of arms wrapping around my waist and stopping me from running.

"Gotchya," Andy said, panting from chasing the White Rabbit all around Wonderland.

"Damn," I said, trying to sound disappointed.

"Now, I'm going to kiss you. And you're gonna like it," he said with a smirk.

"Who said I'm gonna like it?" I replied.

He smashed his lips onto mine and just held them there for a few seconds.

"Did you like that?"

"Yes..." I said, defeated.

"Exactly," he said with smile. He took my hand and led me to the bed, propping up some pillows and pulling me onto his mattress.

"You're not gonna like, seduce me, or anything are you?" I cautiously asked Andy.

"NO. No, babe, I wouldn't do that unless you wanted me to," he said. I layed my head down on his chest and said quietly "Is my father gonna find me?"

"I honestly don't know sweetheart. If he does, I'll protect you. I would die for you Alli. Nobody can hurt you while you're here." He leaned down and kissed my purple hair, causing me to get extremely sleepy. I yawned and closed my eyes, loving the familiar smell of smoke and Axe.

"Somebody's tired," Andy said chuckling lightly. "Go to sleep Alli Cat. You need to rest. Because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. I'll watch over you, every day and night. I promise."

He wrapped his arms around my torso and I drifted off to sleep, not having a care in the world of what tomorrow might bring.
