Pandora was curious of her father’s words towards Andy, everyone told her not to worry about it, that everything was okay. But Pandora didn’t know if she believed that, she didn’t know was her father was capable of doing, but she knew it wasn’t anything good. Sammi told her they were in another state, on a tour bus, with five males, nothing to going to happen. Pandora was alone in the tour bus as the others went out to get something to eat to go so they can get going again, they left Colorado last night and Pandora honestly didn’t know where they were going next or where their at now. She sat on the couch flipping through channels, she was bored, she wished she went with the others. There was absolutely nothing on TV, so she turned it off and sighed. She looked at the kitchen table and saw the white laptop, it was Andy’s and he told her it was one-hundred percent okay if she wanted to use it when she wanted. Pandora thought for a minute and decided to check her Facebook page, it didn’t take her long for her to log into her Facebook page, but when she did she wished she didn’t.

Sierra Chambers: Pandora ran away from home with five guys, wouldn’t be surprise if she’s sleeping with all of them.

Liam Johnson: Wouldn’t doubt it babe.

Aaliyah Matthews: Ha, I don’t miss her!

Selena Holden: She’s such an attention seeker! I wouldn’t be surprise if she called and said she’s Preggo.

Sierra Chambers: Oh, she told my Dad she wants him, me and mom out of her life forever! So, we won’t hear from her.

Selena Holden: What a bitch!

Aaliyah Matthews: Glad she’s gone, hope she never comes back. I agree with Selena..

Tears filled Pandora’s eyes, she tried blinking them away but instead they fell onto her cheeks. The tour bus door opened and Pandora jumped and quickly clicked out of the Facebook tab and turned to see the guys. Andy and Jinxx was holding pizza boxes, and Jake was holding two litters of Mountain Dew and Coke.
“Jake, I’m surprise you don’t eat pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner. “Jinxx said, Jake set the two litters on the table and grinned.
“I would if I could, we don’t have enough pizza.” Jake said, everyone laugh except Pandora. She smiled and quickly wiped her tears away before anyone saw, they moved the laptop and set the pizza boxes on the table. Sammi grabbed drinking glasses and plates and set them out, Pandora watched everyone pour their drinks and get their food, she was the last to get her food and a drink. Andy noticed something was wrong, but he decided not to ask her around Sammi and the guys.
Later on that evening, Andy got Pandora alone to talk.
“I noticed you looked upset at dinner, you okay?” Andy said, Pandora forced a fake smile.
“Yeah Andy I’m fine.”
Andy raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure Pandora? We can talk about it if you want?”
Pandora shook her head side to side. “I’m fine.” She said and walked away, holding back her tears. Andy watched her go, he was worried and questioning her. But he decided not to push her…





The tour bus arrived in California, the tour was over and it was now November. Since that night Andy tried to talk to Pandora in the bunk area, she’s been acting strange. Quiet, sad. Andy couldn’t figure out what was going on with her, but he was pretty sure it was because of her father, and knowing the tour was ending quicker than she wanted it to. Andy drove Pandora to his house, she sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window with her arms folded over her chest. She had barely said a word since she got off the bus and hugged the others bye, Andy didn’t want her to go back home just yet, so he offered to let her stay at his house until she decided what she wanted to do. The mustang pulled up in front of the white house, he cut the engine off and looked at Pandora. She was looking at the house, her expression sad again.
“Pandora, we need to talk. Since that night I tried talking to you, you been acting strange. If something is wrong, please tell me so I can fix it.” Andy said, Pandora was quiet for a minute.
“You can’t fix it Andy.” She told him, he looked at her, studying her.
“I can’t if you won’t let me.” Andy said, Pandora looked down.
“No one can fix it.” She mumbled, Andy tried to understand what she meant by that. “I don’t want to talk about it.” She said, opening the passenger door. Andy gripped her arm, not tight, but tight enough to hold her.
“Please tell me what’s wrong.”
Pandora hesitated, her eyes stinging with tears. She turned her head back towards him, her expression serious, tears were building.
“You can’t fix it Andrew! You can’t! I can’t fix it, no one can fix it. I tried, I keep trying! But I can’t fix it!”
Andy bit his bottom lip. “Don’t say that Pandora! Anything can be fix, but I can’t help you if you won’t tell me what’s the problem.”
“You know what the problem is! My Dad, my Mom, my Sister, her stupid boyfriend! High School! My scars! My life, that’s the problem!” Pandora cried, Andy’s expression was sad, broken. He looked at the steering wheel, and back to her.
“I am trying to help you get away from that, Pandora. I am.” Andy said, Pandora bit her bottom lip, she wiped her tears and sniffed.
“I doubt it could ever be fixed.” Pandora said, she got out of the mustang and headed towards the trunk to get her bag. Andy sat there for a minute, then finally got out to grab his bag.
“It can, I won’t give up until it’s fixed Pandora.” Andy said as he walked to his house, he unlocked the door and opened it, letting Pandora go in first. She looked around, seeing the staircase, and living room. Pandora didn’t say anything else, she kept quiet as he led her to her new bedroom. He opened the guest bedroom door and let her step in first, there was a king size bed, a dresser, desk, closet, a bathroom.
“Go ahead and get settled in, I’ll leave you to it.”
Pandora nodded, and watched him leave. She dropped her bag on the bed and looked around the bedroom, she unpacked quickly, since she didn’t have a lot of clothes. She grabbed her Ipod and laid on the bed and put in her earphones, she found Never Too Late by Three Days Grace and turned up the volume. She fell to sleep listening to that song.



“How is she doing?” Ashley asked Andy on the phone, Andy was standing in the kitchen alone while Pandora slept.
“Not so good, she’s still acting strange.” Andy replied, it was a Tuesday. 10:30 AM, Andy had woke up late last night to get something to drink when he passed Pandora’s room and heard her crying. He immediately rushed into the bedroom and found Pandora sitting in the floor crying with her cell phone in front of her, he saw the texts from Sierra and understood why she was crying. He stayed there, and held Pandora in his arms while she cried. She ended up crying herself to sleep.
“Do you know what’s wrong?” Ashley asked, Andy sighed.
“Every since the tour, she’s been happy. And I started to notice as the tour started to get close to ending, she changed. She didn’t want to go back home, that’s why I’m letting her stay here. And last night, I saw some texts from her sister Sierra.” Andy said.
“She doesn’t deserve all of that.”
“No one in this situation should have to deal with all of this, no one deserves this.” Andy said, almost mumbling the words.
“I agree, so what do we do?” Ashley asked.
“I’m keeping her away from everything, try to make her happy again.” Andy said, as he said that he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. “Ash, she’s awake. I’ll call you back later.”
“Kay, tell her I said Hi. Bye.” Ashley said, Andy hung up the phone and Pandora entered the kitchen. Her eyes were still swollen from the crying last night, and she did look tired.
“How you doing?” Andy said, Pandora shrugged her shoulders.
“Okay I guess.” Pandora replied.
“I’m going to head out to get something for breakfast, don’t feel like cooking. Do you want to come?” Andy said, Pandora shook her head.
“No, I’m good.” Pandora replied, Andy nodded and grabbed the mustang keys.
“Alright, if you need me, call me. Okay?”
Pandora nodded and watched him walk out of the kitchen, a few seconds later she heard the mustang start and drove away.
She took a hot shower, and calmed down a little bit. Once she got dress, her cell phone started to ring, she looked at the Caller ID; Sierra.
Pandora sighed and answered the phone call.
“What?” Pandora asked.
“That’s a rude way to answer a phone call.” Sierra said, Pandora sighed.
“I am not in the mood to talk, so let’s cut this short. What do you want?”
“To talk, can you come home for a bit?” Sierra said.
Pandora hesitated to answer. “No.”
“Oh my god, what is wrong with you? Mom has been crying for days because you won’t come home, Dad is trying to get you home, and here I am trying to have a conversation with you like an adult and your still being a brat.” Sierra hissed.
“Sierra, just leave me alone! Why is it so hard for you to do that? You don’t want me there, none of you want me there. So, why pretend?”
“Oh my god! You really are stupid aren’t you?” Sierra hissed, Pandora bit her bottom lip.
“Just leave me alone.”
“Everyone thinks you’re a coward Dora, running away from your problems. Staying with some guy you barely even know, what’s wrong with you?” Sierra said, tears struck Pandora’s eyes.
“Just stop.” She managed to choke out through tears, Sierra laughed.
“Dad wants to talk to you.” Sierra said, Pandora heard movement and suddenly her Father’s voice came through.
“Pandora, listen to me. I am sick of playing this game, if your staying there, then you better come get your crap before I throw it away. Your putting me and your mother through all of this because we haven’t treated you right? Because we don’t care about you? That’s a bunch of bull! If I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t be calling and trying to get you to come home!” James said, Pandora wiped her tears.
“You don’t care about me, you never did and you never will! I am not coming home, stop calling me, stop emailing me, stop messaging me on Facebook, stop texting me, stop calling Andy! Just Stop! Stop this! Get out of my life, if I never meant anything to you, you never meant anything to me.” Pandora said, holding her ground.
James was silent. “Your such a brat, I’d rather have you murdered, or never have you in the first place, than to have you as a daughter.” James hissed, Pandora threw her cell phone at the wall. The phone hit the wall with a loud thump and fell to the floor, the screen was crack and the battery was laying on the floor beside it. Tears ran down Pandora’s cheeks as she sobbed uncontrollably into her hands, the same words that the students at school said to her started to replay in her head, all the bad memories were coming back. She couldn’t take this anymore, she couldn’t….



Andy pulled up in front of the driveway, he cut off the engine and grabbed the bag from McDonalds that had sausage biscuits in it. He opened the door and hopped out of the mustang, he walked up the porch steps and opened the house door. It was quiet inside, he figured Pandora was upstairs in her bedroom. He took the bag to the kitchen and set it on the island, then he headed upstairs to Pandora’s bedroom. The door was locked, he knocked first.
“Pandora, it’s me, unlock the door.”
No answer.
Andy knocked again, louder this time. “Pandora, unlock the door.
No answer.
Andy started to slam himself up against the door to try to bust it open, every time he done it harder, finally the door opened after he broke the lock. Pandora wasn’t in her bed, he saw her cell phone laying on the floor. He panicked, his heart was racing. His head turned towards the bathroom and that’s when he saw Pandora laying unconscious on the hard floor, blood was coming out of her wrist and flowing around her. Andy ran towards Pandora, hoping and praying she was still alive. He leaned down and felt her breath on his cheek, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed 9-1-1.
“911, what’s your emergency?” Said the female operator
“I need an ambulance, I just found my best friend laying in the bathroom floor unconscious and she’s bleeding from her wrist.” Andy said, he realized his hands were shaking and his voice was breaking.
“Okay, is she breathing?” The operator asked, Andy nodded even though she couldn’t see him.
“Yes, but barely. I don’t know what happened, I left to get breakfast and came back and found her.” Andy said, shaking his head side to side, wondering what had happen, what made her decide to do this, what pushed her to do this.
“I need your name and your best friend’s name.” Said the operator.
“I’m Andy Biersack, and she’s Pandora Chambers.” Andy said, his hands shaking. He looked at her wrist, and then he noticed a razor a few inches away from her. He closed his eyes tight, and tried to force the image out of his head.
“Okay, Andy what’s the address?”
He gave her the address and she said she was sending the ambulance, after the phone call ended, Andy called Jinxx. It rang four times before he finally answered.
“Hello?”
“Jinxx! Pandora is going to the hospital.” Andy said, finally freaking out. He held onto Pandora’s hand, watching her chest raise up and down as she took her breaths. He prayed and begged she would keep breathing.
“What?! What happened?!” Jinxx asked, his voice filled with concern.
“I don’t know! I left to go get breakfast, I came back and found her unconscious in the bathroom floor! There’s blood everywhere, and I see a razor. I think she cut herself too deep and passed out!” Andy said, Jinxx was quiet for a minute.
“I’ll meet you at the hospital, did you call an ambulance?”
“Yeah their on their way now, I shouldn’t have left her here!” Andy said, his voice finally breaking and tears building in his eyes. Suddenly he heard the sirens of the ambulance, he jumped up and took off running down the stairs to the front door. “Jinxx their here, I’ll meet you at the hospital.” Andy said, he hung up before Jinxx said anything. The ambulance parked in front of Andy’s house, neighbors gathered outside on the sidewalks in confusion, not sure of what was going on. The paramedics got the stretcher out of the back of the ambulance as Andy led them inside to the bathroom, the paramedics got Pandora on the stretcher and immediately rushed her out of the house into the ambulance. They closed the doors and started to drive away, Andy closed the front door and hopped into his mustang and backed out of the driveway apprehensively and followed that ambulance to the hospital….
