Coralie pulled me into a tiny tattoo shop located in a strip mall. It was called 'Hellion's' and looked mighty out of place in between a Food Lion and a nail salon called 'Nittya's'.

Corrie pushed the door open and I couldn't help but notice how pale she was. It was the dead of summer and there wasn't an ounce of color to her soft skin.

"Hi can I- CORALIE!?" A woman with orange and yellow hair, tattooed skin, and wide green eyes shrieked.

"Hey Megan!" Corrie grinned. Megan ran to her and threw her arms around her skinny body.

"What brings you down here?" She asked. Coralie made a sad face, and I took her hand. She looked up at me and squeezed it.

"Uh well while I was on tour with Andy here I got a call from my mom saying my dad passed away." She said, obviously holding back tears.

"Oh my god." Megan said, taking Corrie's other hand. "I'm so sorry, Cor. How did I not know about this?"

"I don't know.." Corrie said, hoarsely. I wrapped my arm around her waist and kissed her cheek. "Well," She said, wiping a tear away. "Enough of that. We're here for fun, speaking of, this is Andy."

"Ah your boyfriend?" Megan asked, her manicured nails came to rest between her teeth, and I noticed tiny spider webs tattooed on each of her nail beds.

"Fiancé." I corrected and Coralie smiled.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe you didn't tell me you were getting married!" Megan exclaimed.

"Hey a lot's been going on lately." Corrie chuckled.

"Well let me formally introduce myself. I'm Megan Massacre, Coralie's best friend from high school." She said, extending her hand and I shook it out. I faintly remembered Corrie telling me about Megan and another friend name Kristen from high school. How they caused a ton of trouble together but all had to part ways after high school for different career choices. I think she said Kristen was a nurse or something..

"I'm Andy Biersack." I chuckled.

"Nice to meet you. What band are you in?" She asked.

"Uh Black Veil Brides." I said, "I'm the lead singer."

"Awesome." She smiled, warmly. "So what can I do for you guys?"

"Uhm I want to get a bunch of star's on the other side of my rib cage. Remember why Meg?" Corrie smiled.

"Of course, your dad. You talked about that all the time." Megan said.

"Yep. Well I want you to do whatever you want with it. I trust you." Coralie said.

"Okay cool. Anything for you?" Megan asked me. I looked down at Coralie and smiled. I had a tattoo in my head for a while that I wanted to get but I wanted to ask Corrie about it first.

"Would you want to get something with me?" I asked.

"Like what?" Corrie smiled.

"Well, I wanted to get 'Taken by Coralie Rose'..." I grinned, "Over my heart." She smiled and blinked a few tears away.

"And you want me to get 'Taken by Andrew Dennis'?" She said.

"If you want." I chuckled.

"Of course I want!" She grinned, "I want it on my lower back. That's a good place for dance."

"Okay Andrew Dennis just spelled like normal?" Megan asked and I nodded.

"Two n's." I chuckled.

"Okay cool. I'll go draw those up, just in cursive for the font?" We both nodded, "Alright you guys can chill over there." She said, pointing to a couch. We walked over and sat down and I pulled Coralie into my side.

"Excited?" I asked, and she nodded before resting her head on my shoulder.

Three hours later we were all wrapped up and ready to go but not after Coralie promised Megan she was her maid of honor. Coralie's tattoo was beautiful but painful and her whole right side was swollen.

We decided to grab some dinner before heading back to the bus which was still an hour away, so Corrie showed me a tiny cafe she used to go to all the time. Ocala, which was Coralie's home town, seemed pretty small and tons of people recognized her just walking from point A to point B.

Once we reached the cafe we sat down in a booth by the window and picked up menu's. A waitress came over seconds later. "Coralie?" She said. It was an older woman with grey hair and wrinkles in the corner's of her blue eyes.

"Hey Betty!" Corrie smiled, and hugged her.

"What're you doing down here?" Betty asked.

"Oh just visiting dad's grave." Corrie said, sadly. Betty rubbed her shoulder.

"I'm sorry sweetie." She said.

"It's okay." Corrie said, taking my hand. "Betty this is my fiancé Andy Biersack, Andy this is my great aunt Betty."

"Oh dear your making me sound old. Nice to meet you." Betty smiled at me.

"You too." I smiled.

"I really am sorry about your father, Coralie. So sad. He really was winning the fight and all of the sudden everything got worse." I looked over at Corrie to see her looking confusedly at her great aunt.

"The fight?" She cocked her head to the side.

"Mhm you know with cancer." Betty said, sadness oozing from her voice.

"Cancer.." Corrie shook her head not understanding but I did.

Coralie's mom lied. He didn't die from a car crash, he died from a sickness.

He died from cancer.
