All Your Hate
Hurt... Again.
*Scarlette's POV*
I woke up and my head was throbbing like mad. I suddenly remembered the events of earlier today and shivered a little. Looking around, I realized that I was in what seemed to be a hotel room, and it was dark outside. My ohone buzzed from the table and I picked it up as I read the text, suddenly feeling nauseous.

Seems like my little plan to finish you didn't go so well... I guess I'll have to try again. Watch out, darling.
I locked my phone and threw it down onto the bedside table, just as the door of the room opened. To my relief, it was Andy.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked softly, walking over to the bed that I was lying down on and sitting next to me.
"Uh, okay. My head hurts," I said, closing my eyes. I heard him sigh and felt his arms wrap around me.
"Scarlette, what happened? How did you manage to end up in the water?"
I panicked a little, I didn't want to tell him that someone had pushed me in because I didn't want to worry him with the texts.
"I uh... I fell."
"You... fell." He raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah. I was trying to walk around the edge when I reached a slippery bit and fell into the water. I didn't realize how strong the current was so I didn't manage to get out, which is why I screamed your name. For help," I said, hoping that this story was convincing enough. He seemed to believe it and dropped the subject.
"So, we have no show tonight, but we do have one tomorrow. Do we need to cancel your set? You know, so that you don't feel worse?" he asked. as I shook my head.
"No, I'd feel awful knowing that I've let fans and my band down," I said.
"But.. the doctor said-"
"I don't care what the doctor said. I'm singing and that's final," I said stubbornly.
"You sound just like me when I broke my ribs that one time," he said. smiling. I shrugged and leaned in closer to him, feeling safe as usual in his arms.
We sat in silence for the next few minutes, just thinking. My mind wandered to the texts that I had been getting. Who was this person, texting me all the time? I didn't even know if it was a joke or not, but it was starting to freak me out. I just wished that I knew, or at least had some idea, of who the person was.
"Scar, it's almost 11pm. Are you hungry?" Andy asked me, breaking the silence. I suddenly realized that I was in fact extremely hungry, I hadn't eaten since early in the morning. My stomach growled loudly as he laughed and my cheeks burned red.
"I'll take that as a yes," he said, pulling me up. Suddenly, I felt dizzy so I sat back down. His face went from amused to worried.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked. "Do you need anything?"
"Maybe just some water and an aspirin?" I asked, as he went to the bathroom and came back in seconds with a bottle of water and a pill. I took it and stood up slowly again, and then to my surprise I was lifted off the ground and Andy was carrying me towards the door. I looked up at him.
"Andy, where are you taking me?" I asked.
"We're going to the restaurant of the hotel. It closes at midnight, but they should still have a few things that you can eat," he replied, kissing my forehead.
I ended up eating pasta, finishing my plate in 5 minutes. I was so unbelieveably hungry! After I ate, we went back to the hotel room.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked, realizing that I hadn't seen anyone from BVB or The Outcasts anywhere.
"Right here," I heard a voice as I saw Ashley walking towards us, followed by the rest of the group. Sammi and Alexa came over and hugged me tightly.
"Oh my god Scar, we were so worried. How are you feeling?" asked Alexa, looking concerned.
"Don't worry guys, I'm better now. My head hurts a little but I've had someone amazing looking after me," I said, looking at Andy who gave me a smile.
I went to sleep again at around 2am and woke up the next morning, already feeling a lot better. I guess all that I needed was a lot of sleep. Today was our concert in Michigan and I was really excited, we were going to be playing at a bigger venue than all of the other ones so far.
I jumped out of the bed where Andy still lay sleeping peacefully and went to the shower, loving the feeling of the hot water on my skin. I got dressed in ripped black skinny jeans and a tank top, then straightened my hair and did my make up just as Andy woke up.
"What time is it?" he asked, still half asleep. I checked my phone.
"Almost 12," I said as his eyes widened.
"We're supposed to meet everyone at the pizza restaurant at 12:15, I gotta get ready!" he said as he ran into the bathroom. I laughed and went to sit on the bed, playing 4 Pics 1 Word on my phone. Ashley knocked on the door and I let him in, and we started talking until Andy was ready. 10 minutes later, Andy stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair still wet from the shower.
"Hey Andy... you look sexy right now. Like, really sexy," I said, smirking triumphantly as I saw his cheeks turn a red colour. Ashley groaned and handed me 10 dollars.
"What?" Andy asked, now looking confused.
"I said that I could make you blush, Ash didn't believe me so we made a bet. I won!" I said, holding up the money.
"Oh.." said Andy, looking disappointed. I burst out laughing when I realized why.
"Don't worry, I wasn't lying about what I said," I said, winking. I walked over to him and hugged him. "Now change," I said, "I'm hungry." He walked to the closet and pulled out a change of clothes, walking back to the bathroom. 5 minutes later, he was ready and we went down to the lobby where everyone was waiting for us to leave.
We ate lunch and then walked around the mall where the restaurant was.
"Oh my god look it's an arcade!" CC shouted, pointing to what was indeed a huge arcade place. "Let's go, I haven't been to one in ages, please guys?!" he pleaded.
"Hell yes!" I shouted, leaving Andy's side and running hand-in-hand with CC to the arcade like a bunch of crazy kids, attracting the stares of many people.
The rest of the group eventually followed. We stayed in there for 3 hours before Andy got a call from Jon, saying that it was time for soundcheck. Today had been really fun, so far. I had even forgot about the texts, almost. I hoped nothing bad would happen for a while.
We got back to the hotel and then drove to the venue. We got changed into our performance clothes and put all of our stage make up on, and for BVB's case all of their war paint. Again, I let Ashley put some on my face, so that I had a similar design to Andy, but way less dramatic. I was just finishing my eye liner when I heard a voice speak behind me.
"You know, you look really sexy when you put war paint on," said Andy, smirking at me through the mirror.
"Thanks," I said, expressionless. I was amazed that I wasn't blushing by now. He walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist tightly, kissing my ear.
"I think you're one of the most beautiful girls in the world," he whispered and I felt him smile when he felt the goosebumps erupt on my skin.
"I love you..." he said and I finally turned around.
"I love you too Andy," I said as he crashed his lips onto mine. We kissed for ages and his hands roamed around, going under my shirt. He broke off the kiss.
"I didn't know that you had your belly button pierced," he said, looking at me, noticing it. I had gotten it pierced when I was 16 but I hadn't told anyone, my parents would have flipped out completely.
"You don't know a lot of things Andy," I smirked, as his eyes darkened and he smirked back.
"Hot," he said as we kissed more.
"Hey guys, stop practically doing it in your dressing room and get backstage, we have a show to play," I heard Ashley say from the doorway. We broke apart and laughed, Andy took my hand and we went backstage where everyone else was waiting. Our band was called onstage and we rushed to the center, the fans screaming already. I was so glad that I was feeling good enough to play today.
We played our set and ran off stage, all sweaty and gross. I gave Andy a quick hug as they ran onstage. I started to feel kind of dizzy towards the end of the show so I headed outside for some fresh air. I stayed out there for about 15 minutes, clearing my mind and relaxing.
Again, I got the uneasy feeling that someone was watching me, like yesterday at the waterfall. I started heading back to the venue, cursing myself for walking so far. Through the reflection of a car window I could see a figure walking slowly down the street, and they appeared to be following me. I increased my speed and so did they. They looked really familiar but I couldn't figure out exactly who the person was.
I passed an alley and with a huge shock I was pulled into it by someone else, who pushed me up against the wall. It was dark so I couldn't see who they were.
"Listen, Moore. I'm here on my friend's orders. Now we can do this the easy way, or the hard way, whatever you choose," the guy spat.
"What do you want?" I said, trying to make my voice steady.
"Nothing from you. I'm just following instructions," he said as I felt a hard punch into my stomach. I screamed out in pain, not expecting that to happen. I covered my mouth with his hand.
"Shut up if you know what's good for you," he growled as he slapped me across the face. He beat me a few more times before I fell to the floor, my whole body aching. Why did this happen? He left me there and I tried to get up but I couldn't. I was in shock and I was also terrified. I started to cry on the ground.
"Scarlette?" I heard yells about 20 minutes later. My brain told me it was Andy. I could hear the worry in his voice. I tried to call out but I couldn't find my voice. I just lay there, hoping that they would fine me.
"Oh shit," I heard Ashley's voice as he ran over to my body.
"Scarlette, can you hear me?" he said, picking me up.
"Yeah," I said, wincing at how weak my voice sounded.
"What happened to you?" I didn't reply but he pulled out his phone.
"Hey, Andy? Yeah, I've found her. In an alley. It's not looking good man. You see it? Okay." He hung up just as I heard running footsteps. I was lifted from Ashley's arms and into Andy's. I looked up at him and he looked horrified.
"Scar, what on earth happened?!" he said, and I could see tears forming in his eyes which made me want to cry even more. I just shook my head, not able to speak. He hugged me close as he spoke to Ashley.
"Dude, we need to get her to a hospital. She has some pretty nasty cuts on her head," he said and I started to cry quietly again.
"Don't worry baby, it's gonna be okay," he said as he kissed my hair. I was so glad he was here, even now being in his arms calmed me down a little.
I woke up and my head was throbbing like mad. I suddenly remembered the events of earlier today and shivered a little. Looking around, I realized that I was in what seemed to be a hotel room, and it was dark outside. My ohone buzzed from the table and I picked it up as I read the text, suddenly feeling nauseous.
