Knives & Pens

Like Pandora was told, she didn't leave her bedroom except for school and to eat. Her phone, Ipod, radio, laptop and even TV was taken out of her room, she was told she'll get them back when she's ungrounded. Pandora hasn't seen nor spoken to Andy since that night before she attacked Sierra and got grounded. He was worried, her phone was off so whenever he called her it went straight to voice mail. Andy kept wondering if something bad happened to her, or he done or said something wrong to lose her as his best friend. These thoughts made Andy's heart beat apprehensively, he was looking for the time to go by her house but his schedule was filled. But, even though he was beyond busy, he still found time to worry and think about Pandora. Jinxx noticed Andy's strange behavior every time he saw Andy, even though he hid his worried expression Jinxx saw it. So, when Jinxx had the opportunity to talk to Andy he did.
It was Saturday evening, and the guys were heading over to Jinxx's house for a little bit before they headed out again to a CD signing. Jinxx stopped Andy outside on the porch to talk, when the others headed inside, not noticing Jinxx stopped with Andy.
"Andrew," Jinxx said, Andy turned and looked at him. "Let's talk."
Andy stood beside Jinxx, looking out onto the yard. "What?" He asked, Jinxx looked at him.
"What's up with you?"
Andy sighed and took a minute to reply. "Pandora has just stopped talking to me, I haven't heard from her in days. I'm worried."
Jinxx nodded, something told him it was Pandora. "You know Andrew, I think you care about Pandora more than you think."
"Of course I care about her a lot, she's my best friend Jinxx." Andy said, Jinxx shook his head side to side and elbowed Andy's arm.
"I meant more as a best friend." Jinxx said, Andy looked at him in shock.
"Jinxx, I don't like her like that." Andy defended, Jinxx looked at him and raised his eyebrows questioningly.
"You sure Biersack? I see how you look at her." Jinxx said, Andy looked up at the clear blue sky in thought. He honestly didn't know if he liked Pandora more than as a friend, he never really thought about it, and haven't noticed he does like her more. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. he didn't know.
"I don't know." Andy said honestly, Jinxx nodded.
"That's understandable, but I'm sure Pandora is fine." Jinxx said, patting Andy on the back. Andy watched Jinxx walked to the door and headed inside, Andy was thinking. He likes Juliet a lot, but could he like Pandora too? Andy sighed, not sure of what he thinks about Pandora. He decided to head inside and think about it later, but he knew he wouldn't get it off his mind...






Sunday Night
Andy drove to Pandora's house that Sunday night at 8:30, he parked on the side of the street and looked at the house, seeing all the lights on. He saw all the cars in the driveway, he knew her parents and sister was home. So, he decided he wasn't going to knock on the door and ask for Pandora. Andy hopped out of the mustang and walked across the street, looking up at the upstairs windows, trying to figure out if he could find Pandora's room. He approached the side of the side and started to climb to get onto the roof, it wasn't easy, but he eventually got on the roof. He walked quietly and slowly towards a window and peeked inside, seeing Pandora laying on her bed, looking sad and bored. Andy swallowed hard and looked around, making sure no one saw him, then he tapped on the window. Pandora jumped up and her head snapped towards the window, her eyes widen when she saw Andy, she got off of the bed and walked quickly towards the window. She unlocked it and pulled it open.
"Andy, what the hell are you doing on the roof?" Pandora asked in a whisper, Andy smiled and shrugged.
"I didn't want to use the front door, so I used the roof to get to you." Andy replied, Pandora smiled and shook her head side to side.
"Come in, before you slip and fall." Pandora said, she stepped back and let Andy climbed through the window inside her bedroom. Andy closed the window for her, then he turned around to see her sitting on her bed smiling. Andy joined her.
"I been trying to get a hold of you for days, Pandora." Andy said, his voice sounding worried. Pandora frowned and looked down.
"I'm sorry, I got grounded and they took my phone away." Pandora replied, Andy was quiet for a minute, but he understood, kinda.
"Why did you get grounded?" He asked, Pandora sighed.
"I punched my sister in the face several times." Pandora replied, Andy's eyes widen and he grinned at her.
"Wow, I wish I could have seen that. That would be fun to watch for sure. Why did you punch her?"
Pandora was quiet for a few minutes, she looked at Andy with sadness in her eyes. "Because she was saying all kinds of things that I didn't like."
Andy understood completely then, he nodded and looked at her, he smiled to see her smile in return.
"Oh. I'm sorry Pandora."
Tears struck Pandora's eyes, and Andy felt as if his heart broke a little bit.
"Why does everyone hate me Andy?" Pandora asked, as tears filled her eyes and ran down her cheeks. That done it, that broke Andy. He reached forward and pulled her into a hug, hugging her tight and stroking her hair as she cried into his chest.
"I don't hate you, I never will. CC, Ashley, Jinxx and Jake doesn't hate you, neither does Sammi." Andy told her, he heard her sniff. She lifted her head up and looked up at him.
"But my parents hate me, so does my sister." Pandora said, Andy wiped her tears away and hugged her again.
"They don't see how amazing you are then Pandora."
Pandora felt a bit better when he said that, she leaned back and wiped her tears, kinda embarrass for crying into his shirt.
"Thanks Andy, your amazing too." Pandora said, Andy smiled and saw her smile back.
"Everyone is amazing in their own way. People who hate and judge, don't see that."
They went silent for a few minutes, until Andy broke the silence.
"Pandora, I want you to know. If you ever need to get away from this house for a while, just call me and I'll be here. I don't care if it's the middle of the night or not, just call me. I'll be here whenever you need me." Andy said, Pandora smiled and nodded.
"Thanks Andy." Pandora said, a huge smile forming on her face. Andy stood up and stretched.
"I should get going, I don't want to get caught and get you into more trouble. I'll see you soon okay?" Andy said, Pandora nodded and watched him go through her window.
"Bye Andy." Pandora whispered, Andy turned around and looked at her, smiling.
"Bye Pandora, goodnight." Andy whispered, he climbed off of the roof and headed towards his mustang. He stopped before getting in, turned around and looked at the house. He didn't want to leave her, but he knew he had to. Andy sighed, and got into the mustang and drove off....
