~Merry Christmas!!~



Andy woke up at eleven thirty on a Wednesday morning, his vision was a little blurry as it adjusted to the light of the sun shining in the bedroom. He realized it was December 25, he yawned tiredly and rolled over onto his back, staring up at the white ceiling. Maybe he could rest a little while longer, sleep another hour or two. He begin to close his eyes, but before they were completely closed the bedroom door opened and Pandora entered the room.
“Wake up Andrew!”
Andy groaned and rolled over onto his stomach, hiding his head under a pillow.
“Don’t call me Andrew.” Andy said, his voice deep and tired. Pandora rolled her eyes and jerked the pillow away from Andy, he looked up at her.
“Wake up!”
“No, your not my mother.” Andy said, grabbing another pillow and hiding his head under it. Pandora took that pillow away too, he didn’t had another pillow so he grabbed the blankets and pulled it over his head, Pandora dropped the pillows and pulled the blanket and sheet off the bed, leaving him with nothing to hide from her with.
“Are you kidding me?” Andy asked, trying not to smile and laugh.
“No I’m not, now wake up!”
Andy gave her a look then started to get up, a smile appeared on Pandora’s face she knew she had won.
“Come on, your so slow.” Pandora said, Andy looked at her and shook his head side to side and finally got up from the bed. He ran his fingers through his hair and headed for the door, Pandora followed him out into the hallway and down the stairs. Juliet was sitting on the couch with a blanket in her lap and a smile on her face, Pandora ignored her and sat down on the recliner and Andy sat a few inches away from Juliet.
“Presents first?” Juliet said, she looked at Andy and he shrugged his shoulders and looked at Pandora.
“You want to do presents first?”
Pandora honestly didn’t think she was going to get any presents, but she wanted to see what Andy got.
“Sure.”
“Okay, whose playing Santa?” Juliet asked, Pandora and Juliet looked at Andy with a smirk.
Andy sighed. “I guess I will.” He stood up and started to walk over to the tree, but Pandora jumped up in thought.
“Wait hold on!” Pandora said, she ran upstairs before Andy could ask a question. He looked at Juliet with his eyebrows raised in confusion, Juliet shrugged her shoulders not sure what Pandora was doing neither.
Pandora returned with her Ipod in her hand, she walked over to the radio Andy had next to the TV.
“It’s not Christmas without Black Veil Brides.” Pandora said, turning on her Ipod and picking We Don’t Belong Here to play. Andy smiled and shook his head side to side.
“I should have known you were going to play that, now are we ready?”
Pandora took her seat on the recliner and nodded with a smile, Andy started to go through presents that sat under the tree. He smiled when he saw one of Pandora’s presents, but he honestly couldn’t remember what present it was He shook it lightly, hearing something moving but he couldn’t remember what it was at all. He stood up and handed it to Pandora and she looked at him with a bit of confusion as he sat back down on the couch with a smile on his face, Pandora looked at the present in her lap and smiled and started to tear the wrapping paper. Andy watched with a smile on his face as a white box appeared, Pandora felt herself getting apprehensive and as she opened the box she thought she was going to die. It was a signed Black Veil Brides Set The World On Fire CD, Pandora couldn’t control her excitement and screamed. Yeah, she might live with Andy Biersack himself, but come on you have to expect her to freak out a little bit over a signed CD.
“Are you kidding me?!” Pandora asked, Andy chuckled and smiled.
“No I’m not kidding you.”
“Oh my god I love it!” Pandora said, a huge smile on her face. Andy smiled, knowing that he done good on that present. He stood up and started to go through the presents once again, as he moved some, he saw a small present that was for Juliet from Andy. He thought, trying to remember what it was and grabbed it. He handed it to Juliet and she looked at him with a smile, he sat down beside her and watched her unwrap the small present. It was shaped as a box, and Juliet figured it was something simple. She pulled off the top and inside was a necklace, she fell in love with it, of course because it was from Andy but because it was beautiful. She kissed his cheek as a thank you, and smiled. Pandora bit her bottom lip and started to pay attention to the music playing, she started to sing along with Shadows Die quietly. Andy stood back up, and started to go through the presents, actually getting bored with going back and forth.
The presents under the tree started to get less and less every second, but one small present remained, sitting alone with a black ribbon tied around it. Andy was sitting on the couch and he yawned, getting tired.
“I guess that’s it.” He said, Juliet looked at the tree and shook her head side to side.
“No, there’s one more.”
Andy looked at the tree and smiled seeing the small present that was shaped of a box, of course he knew that wasn’t the last present, he was playing.
“Nah, we can open that next year.” Andy said, Juliet pushed him, thinking the present was for her since Pandora was going through what she got for Christmas and not paying attention to them.
Andy looked at her, and smirked a bit, still not giving in.
“Oh come on Andy.” Juliet pushed him lightly, she got up from the couch and headed over to the tree to get the present. Andy bit his bottom lip as she read the tag to see who it’s for.
“It’s for Pandora.” Juliet said, Pandora heard her name being mentioned and she lifted her head up.
“What?”
“It’s for you.” Juliet said, Pandora stood up and approached Juliet taking the present and heading back to the recliner. Andy felt his heart skip a beat, wondering if she’ll even like it. She untied the ribbon and started to tear the wrapping paper, a black box appeared once the wrapping paper was gone. She opened the top and tears struck her eyes immediately.
“Oh my god! This is beautiful!” Pandora said, pulling the necklace out. A smile appeared on Andy’s face, knowing he done good. Pandora had never received anything like this on Christmas, tears started to boil in her eyes and she tried not to cry.
“I’m glad you like it.” Andy said, Juliet watched Pandora get up from the recliner and hug Andy. Right then, Juliet knew something was going on between Pandora and Andy and she was going to find out what.



Once Andy hopped into the shower around one, Juliet finally got Pandora alone to question her about what’s going on between her and Andy. Pandora was sitting outside on the porch swing, swinging back and forth slowly and looking at the sky. She liked coming out here alone and look at the blue sky and the sun and the white clouds, and it was beautiful to be Christmas. She heard the door open and figured it was Andy, but it wasn’t, it was Juliet. Pandora felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her when Juliet took a seat beside her, they didn’t say anything for a while and Pandora definitely wasn’t going to start talking. So Juliet broke the silence.
“What’s going on between you and Andy?”
Pandora swallowed hard and looked at Juliet, wondering what she meant. Did she know Andy likes Pandora? Does she know Pandora is jealous of her? Lots of thoughts was going through Pandora’s mind at the moment.
“W-what?”
“Don’t lie to me Pandora, I seen how you look at him and how you hugged him after you open your present.” Juliet said, Pandora was shock, her jaw almost dropped open.
“I-I don’t know what your talking about Juliet. There’s nothing going on between me and Andy.”
Juliet giggled, knowing there was something Pandora wasn’t telling her.
“Why don’t you just tell me?”
“Tell you what? There’s nothing to tell you.” Pandora said, Juliet shook her head side to side.
“Do you like him?”
Pandora was about to answer but she bit her tongue and stopped, she couldn’t say yes, and she couldn’t bring herself to say no. She didn’t know what to say, her heart was beating fast and she was apprehensive. Her palm was sweating, and she looked down.
“Well do you?” Juliet asked, pushing for an answer.
Pandora’s mouth opened and she was about to say “No” but stopped herself, she felt her throat burning.
Juliet looked at the road, a little angry. She knew it! She knew Pandora liked Andy, there was no doubt about it. But Pandora was not going to take Andy away from her, Andy was hers, they were in love. And Pandora could possibly be standing in the way of her and Andy ever being happy again, Juliet knew she had to set things straight to Pandora, just so she knew.
“You and Andy are never going to end up together. We’re together, and we’re going to have a baby together. I don’t care if you like him or not, you make sure you don’t. You try not to like him, put it through your mind you do not like him. If you try anything Pandora, I will make you leave. Me and him belong together, and it’s not like he would choose you anyways.” Juliet said, Pandora bit her bottom lip, knowing tears were about to come. She knew Juliet was right, Pandora started to rock back and forth slowly, trying not to cry.
“O-okay.” Pandora choked out.
Juliet looked at her, seeing her rocking back and forth with her arms wrapped around herself and her hair falling into her face.
“Don’t cry.” Juliet told her, Pandora shook her head side to side and jumped up, heading inside without turning around or looking back.
She ran inside and started to run upstairs with tears running down her cheeks, she reached the last step and ran right into Andy. He caught her, grabbing her by the shoulders and smiling, but when he heard her sniff he knew something was wrong. She didn’t say anything but pulled away from him and ran to her bedroom, she closed the door and ran to the bathroom and closed and locked the door. She slid to the floor and cried, wondering why she was upset. She knew there was never ever going to be a relationship, but why does it hurt so much? Why is she crying when she knows the truth?
“Pandora, unlock the door, are you okay?” Andy’s worried voice said from the other side of the door, Pandora wiped her tears but didn’t bother to unlock the door.
“Uh, yeah. I just need a few minutes.” Pandora said, Andy leaned up against the door.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine Andy, I’m okay..” Pandora said her voice trailing off, Andy didn’t know what was wrong of course so he just left her alone and waited for her to come out of the bathroom. He walked downstairs and saw Juliet coming inside, he wondered if she knew what was wrong with Pandora.
“Hey, what happened to Pandora?”
“I don’t know, why?” Juliet said, closing the front door and approaching him.
“She just locked herself in the bathroom and won’t come out..” Andy said, sounding worried.
“I’m sure she’s fine Andy, she was sitting outside on the porch alone and she must have started thinking or something. I don’t know, she’ll be fine.”
Andy nodded, agreeing with Juliet and headed into the living room.
‘I guess she finally realized there was no Andy and Pandora’ Juliet thought and joined Andy.


It was awhile before Pandora finally left the bathroom, her eyes were red and swollen from the tears and she felt tired now. She sat down on her bed and stared at the floor in thought, she had to stop liking Andy, there was no doubt about it. But it was hard not to like him when she lived with him, maybe she needed to move out or something. She didn’t know what to do, but she knew she had to stop liking Andy and stop falling for him. She heard a soft knock on the bedroom door and the door opened slowly, revealing Andy standing there with a worried expression on his face.
“Are you okay?” Andy asked, stepping inside the room and closing the door. He approached her and sat on the bed with her, looking at her and knowing she’s been crying.
“Yeah I’m fine.”
“Why were you crying?” Andy asked, his deep voice soft.
“I was just thinking of things, I guess it got to me..” Pandora said, not enjoying lying to Andy.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Andy asked, he watched her look down at the ground and force a smile.
“No I’m fine, thanks Andy.”
Andy knew that wasn’t the reason she had been crying, but he was going to wait until she was ready to tell him instead of pressuring it out of her.
“Well, if you do want to talk about it Pandora I’m here okay?” Andy said, Pandora smiled and nodded and he hugged her.
“Thanks Andy.”
“No problem, now come on, it’s Christmas let’s be happy.” Andy said, trying to cheer her up. Pandora giggled and shook her head side to side.
Pandora nodded and he pulled her up off the bed and wiped the wetness off her face, he smiled at her and rubbed her right arm.
Andy cheered her up quickly and headed back downstairs to let his parents inside, Pandora stood in front of her bathroom mirror redoing her makeup since she cried most of it off and some of it was running. After she had done her makeup and changed into some decent looking clothes, she headed downstairs where Amy, Chris and Andy were. They were standing at the end of the stairs, talking and smiling. Andy looked up and saw Pandora walking down the stairs and a smile appeared on his face, she looked better than she did, and she wasn’t crying anymore nor looked like she had been crying, but he was still worried about what made her cry, but he feared he’ll never know.
“Hey Pandora.” Chris greeted, Amy and Andy smiled.
“Hey Chris.”
Before anything else was said, Juliet appeared at the top of the stairs and the house became quiet. Andy looked at Juliet, as she walked down the stairs with a smile on her face. Amy looked shocked to see Juliet here, which she was. She thought Andy and her were done, for good.
“Hey Amy, Chris.” Juliet said, Chris grinned a little bit.
“Hey Juliet.”
Pandora realized Juliet was standing behind her and she felt a wave of anger washed over her before she walked away to the living room and sitting on the recliner. Andy looked at Pandora and Juliet, now guessing something happened between those two. This was like a puzzle, Andy had to find the right pieces and put them together and solve the puzzle.
“Sorry if we’re too early or anything.” Amy said, following Andy into the living room while carrying a bag with presents.
“No it’s cool, perfect timing.” Andy said, sitting down on the couch and Juliet took a seat beside him. Pandora had one earphone in her ear as she listened to Not Gonna Die by Skillet, she saw Juliet was eyeing her a little bit, and she shook her head and went back to looking down at the Ipod in her lap.
“Well, we got presents.” Chris said, sitting down on the second couch smiling.
“Yes we do, but sorry Juliet, we didn’t know you were here so we didn’t get you anything..” Amy said, her voice trailing off.
“It’s okay.” Juliet said with a smile, Pandora knew what she was trying to do, she was trying to get back on everyone’s good side. Amy pulled a present out and handed it to Pandora, then handed one to Andy.
“What are you listening to?” Andy asked, before unwrapping the present.
“Skillet.” Pandora replied, sitting up straight and about to pull the wrapping paper.
Andy smiled and started to tear the paper, Pandora done the same and it was like a race between the two to see who can unwrap the present first. A white box appeared, which showed the present was inside the box.
Andy gasped. “I always wanted a box!”
Amy and Chris chuckled. “Well next year we’ll get you a box.” Chris told him, Andy smiled.
“Hell yeah.”
Pandora pulled the top of the box off and inside revealed a pair of boots that Pandora has been wanting, she gasped and looked up at Amy and Chris.
“How did you know I wanted these?!” Pandora asked with a huge smile on her face, Amy smiled and pointed to Andy.
Andy pulled the top off the box and inside revealed a shirt Andy has been wanting, they both enjoyed their presents and hugged Amy and Chris thank you. And before Pandora could take her seat, Juliet spoke up.
“Now, me and Andy has a present for you.”
Andy looked at her in confusion, and now understood what she meant.
“What’s that?” Chris asked, crossing one leg over the other.
“I’m pregnant!”
Tears filled Amy’s eyes, and she looked at Juliet and Andy with happiness. Chris was beyond shock, he stared at his son, trying to find the words. He was confuse honestly, he thought Andy liked Pandora. Chris has honestly been waiting for the phone call from Andy to tell him that Pandora and him were together finally, and he expected if anyone would be pregnant by Andy it would be Pandora.
Amy was hugging Juliet and still crying with joy while Pandora, Chris and Andy continued to sit on the couch with no communication. Chris didn’t know what to say, he didn’t know what to do neither. He looked at Andy in thought and stood up, he approached Andy and tapped on his shoulder once and motioned him to go outside with him. Andy nodded and followed Chris outside on the front porch, Chris sat down on the swing and looked at Andy as he leaned against the railing.
“When did you find out?”
“The day after I left the hospital.” Andy replied, crossing his arms over his chest.
“I honestly never expected for Juliet to be pregnant by you, I thought it would be someone else..” Chris said, Andy didn’t ask who Chris thought it would be, he didn’t think about it.
“I guess we all did.”
Chris was curious when he asked his question, and he honestly thought he should ask it. “What about you and Pandora?”
Andy felt his stomach drop, something hit him that he couldn’t explain. “I don’t know..”
“Do you even like Juliet, Andy?”
“I do, but I guess I like Pandora too much where it makes it confusing.” Andy said, Chris nodded.
“Well don’t confuse Pandora with it, don’t make her think you two are going to date one minute, then you guys aren’t the next. That can really hurt a girl, and probably ruin the friendship you two have.”
“I know, that’s why I think it would be best if me and Pandora stay friends.” Andy said, Chris grinned softly.
“That probably would be for the best Andrew, at least you’ll be there for her. And you two really are good friends, you and the other boys are her only friends.” Chris said, Andy nodded, knowing his Dad was right.
“I know.”
Chris stood up and patted Andy’s back. “Congratulations on being a father.”
Andy chuckled, and Chris chuckled along with him. “Yeah, I don’t know if I’m ready though.”
“I said the same thing when I found out your Mom was pregnant.”
Andy felt a little better after talking with his Dad, he now knew for sure that staying friends with Pandora was probably the best decision instead of risking the friendship they have by starting a relationship. Yes he still liked Pandora, and he figured he probably always will. But he’d rather be her friend and be there for her, instead of being a boyfriend and the relationship probably not working out and lose her forever. When he entered the living room, he looked at Pandora, seeing her looking down at her lap where her Ipod rested. He was glad he met Pandora, he couldn’t imagine where she’d be now if he wasn’t here for her, and he honestly didn’t want to imagine it. Things are going to get a little harder, Andy knew that. Pregnancy, the band, tours, friendships, relationships, father hood. It wouldn’t be easy to do all of those things, but Andy was going to do it because he believed he could. This was going to be a wild ride for him, there was no telling what 2014 has waiting for him.
