*Scarlette's POV*

I sat in my tour bus, the tears threatening to fall down my face. I thought about what Andy had just done. He had looked straight at me, while singing Die For You. I knew the meaning behind that song and it certainly looked as if he was directing it towards me. I couldn't believe that Andy cared about me. How was this even possible? I had been such a bitch towards him from day one and he still managed to get me to like him. I stared outside the window, until I heard a soft knock at the tour bus door. Praying that it wasn't Andy, I called out. "Come in!"

"Hey Scar," said Alexa, walking inside.

"Hey," I said glumly, looking down at the ground.

"So... how are you feeling?" she asked, as I gave her a look of disbelief.

"Well Alexa, I've basically just been seranaded by the one guy in this whole world that I swore I would never even like, and now..."

"Now you're certain of your feelings," she said, as I nodded. "And those feelings are?" she asked cautiously, waiting for me to continue.

"I like him. Not just in a friendly way Alexa... but there might be something more. I honestly never thought I'd say that about Andy Biersack," I laughed softly, as her eyes widened with shock.

"No way," she whispered. I just looked at her, and she continued. "Well, are you gonna talk to him?"

"Damn Alexa, that's gonna be awkward as hell," I muttered. "And besides, I don't think I can do this... again. I've been played by way to many guys. I'm scared to trust. I just can't, not anymore."

"Scar, listen to me. You may have not noticed, but for a while, it's been clear that Andy has had feelings for you. I don't know when or why that started, but it did. Everyone knows, actually," she said.

"Wait, what?" I asked, confused.

"Andy told everyone. Everyone except for you knows that he likes you," she said, and my heart fluttered a bit when I heard those words. No Scarlette, stop. This can't happen. It's not going to, I thought.

"Andy is different, you know," Alexa said, sounding like what the voice in my head had been saying the past two weeks. "He's been hurt too. He knows what it feels like, and he wouldn't do that. Look, you may not have noticed, but everyone else has - he genuinely cares about you. Haven't you realized? When he's around you, his calm, cool, and mysterious side floats away. When he looks at you, you can see that he really does have feelings for you."

After Alexa's little speech, I was lost for words. I couldn't believe that. So Andy had liked me... for a while? And I never noticed? Oh right, I had been avoiding him for the past two weeks.

"Hey Scar?"

"What?"

"Why have you been avoiding Andy?" Alexa asked, as if she had just read my mind. I decided to tell her.

"Alexa, I started having feelings towards him that night when he stumbled onto our tourbus, completely wasted. He told me that I was pretty and that he liked my smile. I was confused, but later, the next morning, he told me that he usually admits stuff that he's thinking deep down when he's drunk. I never told him what he said to me, but in all honesty I really liked it. I think that was the real Andy, the sweet and caring one... I shouldn't have judged him so fast because he really isn't a jerk."

"So... what's the problem then?" she asked, not quite understanding.

"Alexa I've told you a million times - I can't date anyone anymore. I gave everything to Brandon and he treated me like I was nothing. He broke my heart and it took me almost 2 years to get over it. Then I was being stupid and I went out on a date with a guy I barely knew - something that you know I would never do. I think it was Andy that was driving me crazy. Maybe I was trying to make him jealous, but I guess I didn't realize it then. And of course, this guy treats me like crap as well. I'm scared to trust, Alexa. I just can't."

"Scar, you need to talk to him. You clearly have feelings for him, and it isn't just a crush. I'm 110% certain that he cares about you a lot. You need to forget the past, and live in the moment," she said, softly.

"Fine," I said. "I'll try, I guess."

"Great," she said, standing up and walking towards the door. "Because he's waiting outside!" And with that, all in about two seconds, she pulled the door open and pushed Andy inside the bus, then slammed the door shut and locked it. I ran over to the window, where I saw everyone standing there, smirking.

"GUYS!" I yelled, completely taken by surprise. "What the hell?!"

"Yeah. About that, you're not leaving this bus until you've sorted things through," Sammi said, winking. I glared at all of them and flipped them off.

"You'll thank us later!" shouted Ashley as they all walked to the BVB bus. I heard Andy clear his throat behind me, so I slowly turned around.

"Hey," he said, in that amazingly deep voice. I just looked at him, taking in his appearance. With his tight leather pants and leather jacket, and his hair styled to perfection. And his piercings and tattoos. Those were a big turn on for me, but I never told anyone that.

"Hey," I said softly. The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and it was only getting worse by the second.

"So..." he began. "It's uh, nice weather outside," he finished lamely. I just stood there, staring at him for a second. Then I burst out laughing. "What?" he suddenly said.

"You're.... you're gonna talk about.... the- the weather?!" I exclaimed, tears appearing in my eyes as I struggled to control my laughter.

"Yeah?" he said, as he started laughing as well, realizing how dumb that was. I stopped laughing and so did he, and then we just looked at each other for a moment.

"Scarlette?" he said, walking closer towards me.

"Andy?"

"Scarlette... I'm just gonna say it right now. I like you. I really like you. More that just as a friend. And I know that in the beginning I was a complete douchebag to you but I found it amusing that you had such a strong dislike for me when you didn't even know me. But I'm telling you, that isn't the real me. I have feelings. I care about people. I do have a heart. And I think... I think that my heart has been stolen. By a girl who isn't even aware of it," he said, walking even closer to me. I started walking backwards, not wanting to get too close. "Scarlette..." he whispered. "Please say something."

"I- I can't," I said, hitting the wall of the bus. Oh crap. I couldn't go anywhere anymore.

"You can't what?" he asked, his face falling.

"No Andy, you don't like me..." I said, trying to convince him.

"I really do, Scarlette. As I said before, a lot."

"But I can't..."

"Why?" he asked suddenly, his voice raising. He was getting frustrated, I could tell. He saw the surprise in my eyes and lowered his voice again. "Why?"

"Andy, you really want to know the whole story?" I asked, deciding that I could tell him. There was something telling me that it was okay to tell him. He nodded so I took a deep breath and continued.

"When I was 16, I fell in love with a guy named Brandon. He was lead singer in a small band in California. We dated for almost 3 years and I truly loved him. I gave him everything... he was my first... everything." Andy flinced at that point, knowing what I was talking about. "Then one day I walked in on him making out with one of my best friends. My heart was crushed and I couldn't talk to any of them anymore. If I hadn't walked in... they would have gone further. I couldn't believe it. And I haven't dated anyone else ever since. Except for Jack, who managed to crush my feelings all over again. I'm sorry, but I just can't trust anymore..." He was silent.

"Those bastards," he hissed suddenly, getting angry.

"Andy?" I said, unsure of what was happening.

"NO!" he suddenly shouted. "I can't believe that! I just don't understand. They were stupid, so dumb. They had you. And they didn't realize how lucky they were?! Scarlette, listen to me. They were jerks. Ever since you spat your coffee onto my shirt that first day, I started liking you. And I didn't know why. It was like you were a magnet that was attracting me. I know this sounds cheesy as hell, Scar" he said, his voice lowering. "But anyone in the world would be lucky to have you. You're so perfect. Your eyes, they light up when you're performing, your voice is like an angel's, your hair and face and smile and everything is perfect," he whispered, coming closer.

We were now literally face to face, and I could once again smell the minty cigarette combination of his breath. But this time, I didn't want to punch him in the face. I couldn't say anything, I was speechless. No one had ever said anything like that to me ever before. There was a nagging thought in my mind telling me no. He was going to hurt you. He was the lead singer of a rock band for Christ's sake. He was the exactly the kind of guy that you thought would hurt you, and he was Andy Biersack, the guy you swore you'd hated ever since you first heard about Black Veil Brides.

But then there was another thought, saying that it would be okay. That Andy was different. That he meant what he said, and that it was time to move on from the past. There was finally someone that actually cared, and it would be stupid to let him go. I only stared into his electric blue eyes, and nodded slightly. His face came closer and closer, and I could feel his breath on my lips. Looking straight into my eyes one last time, I gave him a look that told him yes, it was okay. And with that, his lips met mine. And I could feel fireworks. I thought that people were crazy when they said that, but now I understood what they meant. He slid his arms around my waist and I put mine around his neck, as we continued to kiss for another minute or so. It was definitely the best kiss of my life. We broke apart and just stared into each other's eyes, and I smiled. He smiled back and I felt my heart rate speed up.

"OH YEAH, ANDY GET SOME!" shouted the voice of someone who was most definitely CC, coming from outside. Oh my god, I forgot that there was a window there. Crap. I turned red and Andy just laughed. Looking at everyone there, they were all glaring at CC who now had covered his mouth. "Whoops," he said quietly, and I laughed as well. Sammi and Alexa looked at me and smiled proudly, and I just rolled my eyes at them. I saw Ash giving a thumbs up to Andy as well, who just put his arm around my shoulder and I leaned into his side.

Today had definitely been my favourite day of tour - so far.
