*back to Scarlette's POV*

It was 6 o'clock and I was just straightening out my dress, looking in the mirror. Jack should be arriving any minute, I thought. Just then I heard a knock at my hotel room door.

"Hey, there's this guy waiting at the lobby for you..." said Sammi, looking confused.

"Oh yeah, he's my date for tonight," I said, and Sammi jumped up.

"No way, you have a date? Oh my gosh Scar, that's awesome! What's his name?" she asked, smiling.

"Jack, I met him when I went to Starbucks earlier..." Sammi's smile faltered. I had told her all about what Andy had called me and our conversation, and how I had ran out of the hotel.

"I still can't believe Andy could say something like that, he's never mean! Unless he's calling out a hater at a concert..." she said, laughing slightly. I just stayed silent, still kind of upset about the whole thing.

"Well, I'd better go! Tell the guys I'm gone if they ask, will you? And Alexa as well," I said, hurrying out the room with my bag. I walked down to the lobby, and Jack was waiting there. He looked really cute in a dress shirt and jeans. I walked up to him, smiling and giving him a hug. He led me to his car, which was parked by the entrance. I saw a figure smoking by the corner of the building. When we drove out, I realized it was Andy, who was looking at me, extremely confused. I just looked away, ignoring him.

*Andy's POV*

I had gone to smoke my 4th cigarette that day. This whole thing about Scarlette was stressing me out so much, I couldn't think clearly. I had to find a way to make her forgive me but I didn't know how. It was starting to turn dark as I saw a red convertible pull up and a guy walking out. 5 minutes later, he walked out with a girl. I concentrated on the couple; for some reason the girl looked really familiar. Almost dropping my cigarette, I realized that it was Scarlette. Who was that guy she was with? And why was she dressed so nicely? I tried to look at her, seeing if there was any sign of forgiveness in her eyes, but no. She just looked away. And that was when my heart sunk. You've really messed up this time, haven't you Andy. I thought.

I went back up to Jinxx and Jake's room, where everyone was chilling out. Walking over to where Sammi was sitting, I asked her, "Hey, have you talked to Scarlette recently?"

She thought for a second and then frowned. "Yes," she said, seriously.

"And... when was that?"

"Just 10 minutes ago, why do you care Andy? You obviously have no respect for her or her feelings," she spat.

"Sammi..." started Jinxx, trying to calm her down.

"No man, she's right," I admitted.

"Wait, what?" he asked, confused. Now everyone was looking at me. I cleared my throat nervously. Ash nodded, telling me to continue.

"Well.. when Scarlette took me to talk with her this morning, I got really mad and I called her something horrible which I'd prefer not to repeat. I'm disgusted with myself and I just want to apologize but I can't find her anywhere, do you know where she is?"

Sammi looked uncomfortable, she definitely knew what was going on.

"Sammi?" I asked, turning back to her.

"She.... she left with Jack," she said softly.

"And who is 'Jack'?" I asked, getting slightly impatient.

"Her... date. For tonight. Nothing's really official yet," Sammi said quickly. That was when I lost it completely. Why was I so dumb? Scarlette was beautiful, why would any guy pass up the opportunity to take her out on a date? Why didn't I? Oh wait, she thought I was a huge jerk and I didn't exactly act in a way that would convince her otherwise.

"Oh." I said, feeling defeated.

"What's the matter Andy?" asked Alexa. I decided to tell them, they were going to find out anyway.

"I.... really like Scarlette. Like, a lot," I said, looking at the floor. I heard gasps from everyone excluding Ash.

"No. Freaking. Way," whispered Alexa.

"Guys, shut up," I said, getting defensive.

"Dude, but she hates you!" CC said.

"Yeah thanks for reminding me man, really appreciate it," I scoffed.

"Oh. Sorry," he said.

"Forget about it," I said, walking out of the room. Several minutes later, I heard the door creak open - it was Ashley and Sammi. I groaned and stuffed my face into my pillow.

"Guys.. I'm not in the mood to talk right now," I said, feeling awful.

"Hey man, I'm sorry-" Ashley started but I interrupted.

"I said I don't wanna talk!" I gritted my teeth.

"Woah dude, calm down. We only wanna help you," he said, putting his hands up.

"Sorry Ash, I'm just... I'm just so annoyed, and sad, and angry at myself. I'm so dumb," I said, softly.

"Andy, listen to me. You're on tour. And how exactly is Scarlette supposed to have a long distance relationship with a guy that she just met? She wasn't thinking straight when she accepted his invitation because she was so upset about what you had said," said Sammi.

"Where exactly are you going with this?" I asked.

"What I'm saying is... you're the one that's gonna be with her for the next year. She'll have to leave Jack behind, but you'll be there."

"And..." I trailed off, still confused.

"Jesus Christ Andy, she means that you need to find a way to eliminate the competition," smirked Ash, looking as if he was thinking of some evil plan.

"Uh... yeah. Okay Ash, let's turn this into a video game," I muttered.

"No Andy, Ashley's right. You need to find a way to be as nice as possible to Scarlette and.. I hate to say this... but as mean to Jack as possible so that they break up. Well.. you need to break them up. Without Scar thinking that it was because of you," said Sammi.

"Sammi, that doesn't make any sense," I complained.

"Yes it does! Now just listen to me, I have a plan...."

*Scarlette's POV*

We were sitting in the restaurant, finishing up our meals. I was almost crying with laughter at some story that Jack was telling me about his friend in high school. This date had been really fun... I hadn't been on a date for ages.

"Oh my god, I can't even right now, that's unbelievable!" I laughed, wiping my eyes.

"I know right," he said chuckling. He paid the bill and then we headed back to my hotel. When we were almost there, I got a phone call from Jinxx.

"Hey Jinxx!" I said happily.

"Hey Scar.. I got some bad news," he said.

"Oh, what happened? Is everyone okay?" I asked, starting to panic.

"Oh yeah, everyone's fine. Jon's just told me that we have some problems with the tour and we'll be stuck here for the next two weeks," my smile brightened at the idea. I could be with Jack for longer!

"Oh, that's not good... will the shows that are going to be canceled be rescheduled?" I asked, sorry for the fans that were expecting us to play for them.

"Yeah, after we finish up the other dates we'll go back to the places we skipped at the end of the tour," he said.

"Oh.. well we're almost at the hotel, I have someone I want you guys to meet!" I said, looking at Jack.

"Okay, see ya," he said, hanging up.

"Who was that?" asked Jack.

"Jinxx, one of the BVB guys. Apparently there's some problems with our tour so we'll be here for the next two weeks, which is sad because we have to cancel a few shows but I have two extra weeks with you!" I said, smiling. His face brightened as well.

"That's great Scar! Are the other shows gonna be rescheduled?"

"Yep, at the end of the tour!" I said.

We pulled up at the hotel and went up to my floor. I headed to my room first, dropping off my coat and purse, then took Jack's hand and went to Jinxx's room where everyone was hanging out.

"I want you to meet the rest of The Outcasts and Black Veil Brides," I said, smiling at him.

"No way," he said, looking at me.

"Yes way," I laughed, knocking on the door. Jake opened it, smiling at me and then looking at Jack.

"Who are you?" he asked. I just walked in and stood in the middle of the room, with Jack beside me. Everyone looked at us, including Andy. I felt his eyes burning at mine and Jack's hands.

"Hey guys," I said. Everyone either waved, smiled, or in Andy's case, completely ignored me. "This is Jack. I went out on a date with him just now.. and he's a fan of both of our bands, isn't that cool?" Everyone nodded slowly, looking at Jack. I could see that he was getting uncomfortable. Why was everyone acting so weird?

"Hi Jack," said Andy suddenly, to my surprise. "How'd you meet.. uh... her?" he asked, pointing at me.

"At Starbucks, I bought her a drink," he smiled.

"Oh, I see. But couldn't a guy like you do a little better? I mean, I've known Scarlette for a while, and if I'm being honest, she's quite irritating," he said. I fumed, my face going red. All I wanted to do was wipe that ugly smirk off of Andy's face.

"Excuse me? That's extremely rude, don't you think?" Jack asked, stepping forward. Woah, I hadn't seen such a defensive side of him before.

"Nope, just stating the facts," said Andy, picking at his nail.

"Jack, maybe it's best if you leave. I'll call you tomorrow," I said. Before walking out the door, he took my face and smashed his lips onto mine, and I could feel him smirk as he heard a sharp intake of breath from where Andy was standing. Then he walked out of the door, slamming it behind him. I just stood there, shocked.

"What's wrong Scar?" asked Andy, innocent. But I wasn't going to blow up this time.

"You know what Andy? Shut up. Just shut up. As I said earlier, I'm done talking to you," I said, storming out of the room before I broke down on my bed, crying.
