Knives & Pens

Andy woke up to hear someone knocking loudly at the front door, he groaned and rolled over seeing the digital alarm clock on the nightstand, the red numbers showed; 11:31 A.M.
He rolled over onto his back and felt someone laying beside him, he turned his head and looked at a sleeping Pandora. Andy suddenly remembered going to sleep in her bed after scaring her, then he remembered kissing her, the way his lips felt against hers. Pandora was cuddling the blanket tightly, some of her hair covered her right eye as she laid on her side facing Andy, he smiled, looking at how peaceful she looked. Andy was lost in thought, when suddenly there was another loud knock downstairs at the front door. Andy sighed and got up, he tiredly walked down the hallway, down the stairs, and approached the door. He unlocked it and opened the door and suddenly Jinxx walked in, in a hurry too. Andy closed the door and looked at him, realizing something was up with him.
“I started to think you were never going answer the door.” Jinxx said, Andy looked at him.
“Dude, it’s eleven thirty and I’m no longer sleeping in a hospital bed. What’s up?”
The house was completely quiet, Jinxx looked at Andy, his expression was hurt.
“She cheated on me..” Jinxx said..


“What?! Why would she do that!?” Andy asked, handing Jinx a coke after Jinxx explained what had happened.
“I don’t know.” Jinxx replied, opening the can and taking a long sip, Andy sat down at the island across from Jinxx.
“I’m sorry Jinxx..” Andy said, understanding how he felt. Jinxx nodded and set his drink down, and that’s when Pandora entered the kitchen with a smile on her face. She headed towards the cabinet and grabbed a small glass, she then opened the refrigerator and grabbed the orange juice carton, she unscrewed the lid and poured the glass full, then she put the orange juice up.
“Hey Jinxx.” Pandora greeted, even though Jinxx wasn’t in a happy mood he smiled at Pandora after seeing her smile.
“Hey Pandora, sleep good?” Jinxx said, after Pandora sipped her orange juice she replied.
“Yeah, but Andy kept taking up all the room.”
Jinxx’s jaw dropped and he looked at Andy seeing him smiling, Jinxx was speechless and you could only imagine what he thought.
“Sorry I didn’t mean to.” Andy said, Pandora smiled.
“It’s okay, I forgive you.” Pandora said, she smiled and left the kitchen, going upstairs to take her morning shower. Once Andy and Jinxx were alone, Jinxx looked at Andy questioningly.
“You two slept in the same bed?” Jinxx asked, raising his eyebrows.
“Yeah, on accident though. I didn’t mean to sleep there all night.” Andy replied, Jinxx nodded and Andy picked up his coke and started to drink it when Jinxx said.
“Did you two have sex?”
Andy started to choke on his coke, he set the coke can down and started to cough repeatedly until his throat was cleared and he could reply.
“No! It wasn’t like that!” Andy protested, Jinxx grinned.
“Sure it wasn’t.”
“Dude, it wasn’t. I swear.” Andy said, his deep voice very serious, Jinxx laughed.
“Okay Biersack, I believe you. But I know something happened last night because of that look on your face, so you better tell me.”
Andy sighed and bit his bottom lip, he still couldn’t believe he kissed Pandora and still felt stupid about doing it.
“I kissed her..”
Jinxx’s eyes widen. “You did? What did she do?”
“She pulled away and slapped me.”
Jinxx laughed and Andy sighed.
“You deserved that. Why did you kiss her?”
“I don’t know, I wanted to, for a while and I just did it.” Andy said, Jinxx smiled.
“I guess now we’ll see what happens between you two.”
Andy nodded and the room fell silent, Jinxx’s expression returning to sadness.
“I should get going.” Jinxx said, standing up.
“It’s going to be okay, Jinxx.” Andy told him, Jinxx nodded and pulled his car keys out of his jeans pocket.
“Tell Pandora I’ll see her later, and keep your lips to yourself Biersack.” Jinxx said, Andy chuckled and nodded.
“Will do, bye Jinxx.” Andy said, he watched Jinxx leave the kitchen and three seconds later the front door closed. Andy sat there on the stool for a little while, feeling bad for Jinxx, and not believing Sammi cheated on him. He stood up, and that’s when Pandora entered the kitchen with wet hair.
“Where did Jinxx go?”
“Oh, he just left a minute ago.” Andy replied, Pandora nodded and sat down and looked at him, noticing he was in thought.
“What’s wrong?”
Andy looked at Pandora, and shook his head side to side.
“Nothing, why?”
“Because your thinking about something.” Pandora replied, she looked at him, and he melted into her eyes and gave in.
Andy sighed. “Sammi cheated on Jinxx..”
Pandora’s jaw dropped open in shock, she couldn’t believe what he just said. She didn’t know what to say neither, she never thought Sammi would cheat.
“What? Why?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t think Jinxx knows for sure neither.” Andy said, Pandora bit her bottom lip and looked down.
“Is he okay?”
“I don’t know, he’s hurt, but he’s not saying if he’s alright or not.” Andy replied, he ran his fingers through his hair.
“Damn, I can’t believe this..”
“I can’t neither, but it happens. I just never expected Sammi to do it.”
Pandora nodded in agreement, and looked at Andy, he looked back and gave a soft smile. Pandora was thinking about the kiss, but she kept telling herself not to fall for him, it was never going to work out perfectly.
“We should talk.” Andy said, Pandora looked at him questioningly.
“Okay, about what?”
“Last night, in the pool.” Andy replied, his voice trailing off as he searched for a reaction on her face.
“Okay, you start first.” Pandora said, her heart beating fast nervously.
“I didn’t mean to kiss you, I mean, I didn’t mean to kiss you like that unexpectedly. It just happened, I wasn’t thinking..” Andy said, Pandora bit her bottom lip.
“It’s okay Andy, I’m sorry I slapped you..”
Andy chuckled. “It’s fine, I don’t blame you for slapping me.”
Pandora smiled, and then a thought came across her mind, and before she could even think about asking it, she did. “Why did you kiss me?”
It took a few minutes for Andy to reply, but he decided not to lie to her anymore.
“Because, honestly…. I do like you.”
Pandora didn’t know what to say, she felt happy about it, and excited that the Andy Biersack liked her, but then she was a little worried about it too.
“You do?”
Andy nodded. “Yeah, I do, I wouldn’t lie about it.”
“Like a lot?” Pandora asked, a smile coming upon her face that she couldn’t control.
“Yeah a lot, probably more than I liked Juliet.”
Pandora felt like fainting, there was no way this perfect, good looking guy, liked her. This had to be a dream, because there was no way. Right? Or wrong?.
Pandora blushed badly, and she dropped her head in her hands to hide her face. Andy smiled and watched her, not sure if this was going well or not.
“Really?” Pandora asked, her face still hidden in her hands. Andy chuckled.
“Yes really.”
“Wow..” Pandora breathed, Andy laughed.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
She lifted her head up, and looked at him, not knowing what to say.
“I should go do my hair.” She said, then felt stupid after saying it. Andy chuckled and nodded.
“Yeah, it’s already getting frizzy.”
Pandora smiled and stood up, she headed upstairs to her bedroom and closed the door. She couldn’t believe it, but then she did. She entered the bathroom and turned on her hair straighter. It took her a while to finish, but it was worth it because now her hair wasn’t a frizzy mess. She left the bathroom and sat down on the bed in thought, she shouldn’t fall for Andy right? She knew the relationship wouldn’t work, he’s lead singer of a band, and very popular, and she’s just an ordinary eighteen year old girl. There was no way a girl like her, could end up with a guy like Andy. That only happened in fairytales, or dreams, or a fantasy. It couldn’t really happen right? She’d just end up hurt, he’ll find someone better than her, popular, and even more prettier. Plus, he may just think he likes her. Pandora felt her eyes burning, she wanted it to work honestly, but she couldn’t bring herself to believe it would. She just had to stay strong, and try not to fall for him.
