All Your Hate
Carnival
*Scarlette's POV*
"Oh Scar! Wake up!" I heard, and I groaned, the sunlight irritating me. I pulled my blanet over my head and I heard someone laughing.
"Scar, get up or I will make you," the voice I recognized to be Alexa's said, warning me.
"No, go away," I whined, my voice sounding muffled from the pillow. I felt someone lean down to my face.
"Scarlette..." I heard an unexpectedly deep voice in my ear. It was Andy? Why was he here? I shook my head. I was not a morning person at all. Suddenly, I felt him leave light kisses around my face and on my neck, but never on my lips. I got annoyed and opened my eyes, sitting up suddenly.
"Okay okay, I'm here. What?" I grumbled, irritated at the both of them, Alexa smirking at me.
"It's 11:30 and you have 15 minutes to be ready before we go get an early lunch. Then it's time to drive to the next venue, which takes 8 hours. We have the whole day off today," she said.
I hurried off to the bathroom, grabbing clothes from my bag and taking the quickest shower in the history of quick showers. I brushed my teeth, did my make up and hair in record time, and was out of the bathroom in 10 minutes.
"Wow babe, you're fast," Andy winked at me as I blushed, but covered my face with my hair to hide it. He noticed though, because he just laughed. So I walked over to him and punch him lightly in the stomach.
"Ouch!" he overreacted, pretending as if he was actually hurt. "You're so mean to me, Scarlette. What have I ever done to you?" he asked innocently. Alexa was just looking at both of us with a strange expression on her face.
"What?" I asked her.
"You two... being nice to each other! It's weird..." she said, and started to laugh. So did Andy.
"Yeah yeah, very funny. I'm gonna go to the other bus, are Blake and Dustin there?"
"Yes, they've been there for about an hour now," said Alexa.
"Why didn't you wake me earlier?!"
"Didn't wanna bother you," she replied. "Or at least, loverboy here didn't want to," she smirked. Andy went red and I started laughing, then walked off the bus and to the other one. When I got there, all the boys and Sammi greeted me with big smiles.
"Hey guys..." I looked at them weirdly.
"HEY!" shouted CC.
"CC shut up, it's so early for shouting," I complained.
"It's not Scar, it's almost noon," said Sammi, laughing.
"Well we should eat something, I'm hungry," I said.
Everyone ended up deciding on eating pizza from a restaurant that Ash had pointed out while we were driving.
"Oh my god this is like heaven," exclaimed Jake as he took a bite.
"Jake, you say that for every single pizza you eat. We could feed your cardboard with tomato sauce and melted cheese on it and you would still say the same thing," said Andy, and everyone laughed. Jake just shrugged and started on his 4th slice. I never knew how these guys could eat so much.
After lunch we started our drive to Toronto. We were halfway there and I was bored out of my mind. BVB was on their bus, and there wasn't anything else to do. We stopped at a gas station for snacks and drinks, and I decided to stay on BVB's bus so I could be with Andy for the remaining hours of the drive.
We watched a movie and then he told me more about his family and his life before Black Veil Brides. It was so interesting, I had no idea about anything that he had said. I really had been wrong to judge him so fast. And I now realized why his fans thought of him as their hero - because Black Veil Brides had an amazing message behind their music that I had never seen before. I guess I had just judged them too fast based on all the leather, paint and tattoos.
"Hey Andy," I said suddenly, after thinking about it for a while.
"What?" he asked, turning him face towards me.
"I'm sorry," I said, sighing.
"Huh? What's there to be sorry for?" he asked, curious.
"Just... how I was so mean to you before. How I judged you and your band so fast and labelled you as a jerk, which you are honestly the furthest thing from. And I missed out on great music. I never thought I would say this, but Black Veil Brides has some pretty amazing songs. So, I'm sorry. For all of that."
He just looked at me, and I looked down, feeling embarassed. Then I felt his arms wrap around me and he pulled me close, so that he was hugging me tightly. He kissed my cheek and whispered, "You have nothing to be sorry for. You made me so happy yesterday, which made up for being mean to me. And anyways, I was kind of a jerk to you in the beginning. And thank you, Scar. It means a lot."
"No problem, Andy." He pulled away and looked at me.
"I called you Scar and you didn't object? Well that's a first..."
"As I told you before, only people I like can call me Scar," I smirked.
"Oh? So what you're saying is... that you like me?" he wondered.
"Kinda..." I trailed off, as he smiled and leaned in. I looked at him blankly, deciding not to give in. He pouted.
"Scarlette.. give me a kiss," he demanded.
"Hmmm.... no."
"Scarlette!" he whined, and I smirked. Suddenly his fingers poked me in my sides and I started laughing, did I mention that I was extremely ticklish? He smiled mischievously when he figured out that I was, so he started tickling me even more. I could hardly breath from all the laughing that I was doing.
"Please stop!" I managed to choke out, and he only continued.
"Not unless you give me a kiss," he said, clearly enjoying himself.
"NEVER!" I yelled between laughs, and he pulled me up to his face.
"You sure about that?" he asked, quietly, his eyes piercing into mine, challenging me. I gave him a light peck on the cheek and ran away from his bunk, everyone watching me run out. I hadn't realized that they were still there, shoot. They all just looked at me and shook their heads, smiling. I sat down next to Sammi.
"Hey Sam," I said, leaning against her shoulder.
"Hey Scar," she replied, in the same tone. Just then, Andy walked out of his bunk as well, sitting down next to me. I looked at him and he looked sulky, so I started laughing.
"Andy, what's wrong?" asked Ashley.
"Scarlette isn't being nice to me," he huffed, crossing his arms. I looked at him in disbelief. He pouted again. I rolled my eyes and kissed him lightly on the lips. He smiled.
"Never mind, all better!" he said, and everyone went back to their own conversations.
"Scar... you know about my family now. What about yours? I don't know anything," said Andy, looking at me. My mind floated off to my parents. I hadn't seen them since... I don't even know when. I must have zoned out for a while because I felt Andy waving his hand in front of my eyes.
"Hello? Earth to Scarlette?" he said, questioningly.
"What- huh?" I asked, snapping back into reality.
"Your family..." he said, slowly, looking at me weird.
"Oh right... um... I don't know. I haven't seen them in years," I said, looking up at him finally.
"Wait, what? Why not?" he asked.
"My parents were very... conservative. They wanted me to go to school, finish school, go to university, get a job, and get married and start a family of my own. I had different ideas. I didn't want to sit in an office or at home all day. I wanted to start a band. They didn't approve. They didn't think of music as a serious career choice, especially something like a rock band. But it's always been my passion. I left to LA, and started The Outcasts as soon as I graduated high school. My parents were furious when they found out that I had left... and they haven't spoken to me since," I said, tears forming in my eyes. I missed them, a lot.
"Aw, come here Scar," he said, and I shifted into his side. I felt... safe and happy for once. I missed my parents a lot, but I hadn't thought about them for a while. And I had never told anyone that story. We stayed like that until we arrived in Toronto. It was around 9pm when we got there, but no one was tired at all.
"Hey, I have an idea!" CC shouted. When does he ever use his normal voice?
"WHAT?" I yelled back.
"LET'S GO TO THAT CARNIVAL OVER THERE!" he yelled, pointing to the park opposite where our busses were parked. Sure enough, there was a huge ferris wheel, a couple of roller coasters, and stalls. A complete carnival, and it was almost empty, so it was just for us. We ran over and bought tickets, then went inside.
"What should we do first?" I asked.
"ROLLER COASTER!" shouted Blake. He loved roller coasters. We all agreed and climbed into the cart-thing. The ride started and two minutes later everyone stumbled off.
"Oh my god, that was crazy!" I said, still dizzy. That thing had about 7 loops in it!
"It was pretty awesome though," said Andy, and I looked at him and laughed. "What?" he asked.
"Your hair though... it's completely messed up!" He reached up to fix it. "Better?" he asked me.
"Much," I said, taking his hand as we walked through the park.
"Oh my god Andy, look!" I said, pointing to one of the stalls. One of the prizes was a huge bear with a batman shirt on it. I needed that. His eyes widened as well.
"Let's go get it!" he said, running over. We had to play a game, which involved toy guns and shooting a target. After playing for 15 minutes, we finally managed to win Batman Bear. It was huge, almost half my height! Andy gave it to me.
"Yes! Andy, this is perfect. I shall call him Bruce," I said. He nodded, liking the choice. We went around the rest of the carnival, just doing nothing in particular.
"Hey, let's go on the ferris wheel!" he said. It was getting late, and everyone was heading back to the bus.
"Okay, but that's the last ride," I said, and he nodded.
We went and got into one of the carriages, and the ride started. There was no one else on it, just us. We got all the way to the top and the ride suddenly jerked violently. I got scared for a minute then burst out laughing.
"What? I don't think you're supposed to laugh right now, Scar," Andy said, confused.
"It's so- it just so cliche! I mean, guy takes girl to ride the ferris wheel, ferris wheel stops, and guy and girl kiss at the top," I said. "It's in all the movies," I said, finding the whole thing hilarious.
"I haven't had a kiss though..." he said, looking down, waiting for me to react.
I put my finger under his chin and lifted his face up so that he was staring at me, and kissed him on his lips. The kiss must have lasted for at least two minutes and then we finally broke apart, as he hugged me and the ride started again.
"Oh surprise surprise, the ride works again!" I exclaimed and he laughed.
"You are something special, Scar," he said.
"You love it though," I said, poking his side.
"I do," he chuckled, as we walked off the ride and back to the bus.
"Oh Scar! Wake up!" I heard, and I groaned, the sunlight irritating me. I pulled my blanet over my head and I heard someone laughing.
"Scar, get up or I will make you," the voice I recognized to be Alexa's said, warning me.
