Knives & Pens

The pregnancy was going well, the baby was healthy along with the mother. Pandora was showing and did look like she was pregnant, and she didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing. Probably a good thing, even though her jeans were becoming a bit tighter. Black Veil Brides was coming out with a new album which Pandora was excited for but Andy would not give out any new song to her, he didn’t want to ruin it for her. She didn’t know when the album was coming out, nor the name of it, she was basically clueless except all that she knew was that there was going to be a new album eventually. No one in Pandora’s family knew she was pregnant, she still kept it a secret off all social media. Which she thought why would she post her pregnancy all over social media? Her relationship with Collin was going well, and it seemed like her life showed a bright future. Ashley and Pandora began discussing baby names already, though they couldn’t agree on anything. The guys started to help too, Andy was giving names along with Jake, CC and Jinxx. Collin was helping also, but he said he was horrible at naming pets when he was younger and he knew he couldn’t name a human being.
Today was Thursday and Pandora was off work, which gave Pandora the idea to go baby shopping. Andy came along with her since he didn’t want her going by herself. It was beyond hot today, but it felt somewhat good to Pandora. She finished getting dressed around 2:22 and headed downstairs to meet with Andy, he was turning everything off in the living room when she walked in with a smile. He wore sunglasses, black jeans, black/white sneakers and a white tee. It was too hot to wear a jacket, so today Andy’s only disguise today was sunglasses.
“Ready?” Pandora asked him, Andy grabbed his wallet, cell phone and keys and then nodded.
“Now I’m ready, let’s go.”
“We’re just going to look okay? Don’t let me buy anything, because I probably can’t afford it yet.” Pandora told him when they stepped outside into the sunshine, Andy locked the door.
“Pandora, don’t worry about not being able to afford it. That’s why you have me.” Andy said, heading towards the mustang while Pandora followed.
“I’m not letting you do that Andy.”
Andy opened the driver door and hopped inside, and waited for Pandora to get in too before he spoke. “Do what?”
“Buy things for me.”
“I insist.” Andy said, starting the engine while Pandora buckled up.
“I insist you don’t.”
“I don’t care if you insist that I don’t, I insist I do, and I will do it. I am older than you, you are not the boss of me and I will buy you baby stuff if you can’t afford it, no matter what you say.” Andy said, putting the mustang in reverse and backing out of the concrete driveway.
“I’ll call Jinxx.”
“Call Jinxx, he isn’t the boss of me neither and he’ll tell you the exact same thing anyways.” Andy told her, putting the mustang in drive and leaving the neighborhood while following the speed limit. Pandora knew she couldn’t talk him out of it so she gave in quicker than she should, but there was no point in arguing about it when she knew no matter what she said he would agree that he won’t buy anything for her. They arrived at the baby store and Andy was able to get inside without being recognized, but that didn’t mean nobody would recognize him inside. Pandora led him to the girl isle, they looked at clothes, dresses, shoes, toys and baby furniture. And all of it made Pandora more excited to have the baby.
“So,” Andy said, following Pandora who walked in front of him. “What color are you painting the nursery?”
Pandora shrugged her shoulders. “I have no idea, I didn’t even think about it. I didn’t know you would let me paint anything.”
Andy chuckled. “Why sure, paint every wall in the house if you want. I don’t care.”
Pandora smiled. “What color do you think I should do?”
Andy thought and hummed as well. “Well you could do pink, purple, maybe a blue color? Red. You could put up wallpaper if you don’t want to paint too.” Andy said, Pandora nodded, liking his suggestions of colors.
“What kind of blue though?”
“I don’t know, dark blue, light blue?”
“That’s a maybe.” Pandora told him, he smiled.
“See I’m so awesome, even my picks of colors seem awesome.”
“You are so confident in yourself aren’t you?”
“Hell yeah, if you looked like me wouldn’t you be too?” Andy said, of course he was joking, which made Pandora giggle.
“Your hilarious.”
“See, I’m good looking, I’m hilarious, I have a great personality. I’m in a band, I can sing well. What’s not to like about me?” Andy said with a smile, Pandora nodded in agreement.
“Your right.”
“Damn right I’m right,” Andy said, then he spotted something cute. “Oh hey, look at this.” Andy said, pointing to a dress. Pandora melted at the sight of it and “aw”, seeing all this stuff made her wish the baby was due today.
“This stuff is way too cute.”
“I’m going to spoil your daughter.” Andy said, he already had it planned.
Pandora laughed. “I wouldn’t doubt it at all.”
“Someone has to do it.”
“I’m sure the others will to.” Pandora said, Andy nodded.
“That’s definitely a yes.”
They continued to look around, enjoying what they saw and pointing things out. They spent half an hour in the store, and finally they decided to leave. The automatic doors slid open and they stepped outside into the sunshine and were immediately attacked by flashing cameras. Andy gripped Pandora’s hand and pulled her out of the crowd of paparazzi and took off towards the mustang while paparazzi followed after them with the cameras flashing nonstop. They hopped into the mustang quickly and Andy started the engine, he was able to back up without hitting anybody and took off. He had no idea how they found them there, unless they followed them there.
“Well, that was fantastic.” Andy said sarcastically, Pandora giggled.
“Totally, nothing better than being surrounded by people with cameras.”
Andy laughed. “You get used to it sadly.”

They arrived home before four, Crow and Buttercup met them at the door, happy to see them both. Pandora wasn’t fond of cats, but it was a different story with Crow and Buttercup. They headed into the living room and Pandora sat down while Andy walked over to the window to turn on the air conditioner, the cold air felt good than the beyond hot air outside. Pandora was relaxing when Crow jumped up onto the couch and got in her lap, rubbing her head on Pandora’s stomach. It was strange to Pandora, once she started to show, Crow would rub her head on Pandora’s stomach for a few seconds then walk away. Andy would say she knew Pandora was pregnant, but Pandora didn’t know for sure.
“We could turn the guestroom into the nursery.” Andy told her, sitting down beside her.
“You sure?”
“Yes I’m sure, hardly anybody comes and stays here. And if they do it won’t kill them to sleep on the couch.” Andy told her, she giggled.
“Thanks Andy.” Pandora said, laying her head on his shoulder. He smiled and laid his head on hers.
“For what?”
“For being there when no one else was, for being my friend, for letting me stay on your bus when I ran away, for protecting me, for letting me move in with you. Just for everything.” Pandora said, Andy smiled and kissed her forehead.
“That’s what friends are for.”


That next afternoon Andy was home alone, Pandora was working that day until five thirty. After fixing himself a huge sandwich, he headed into the living room to watch TV. He crashed down on the couch and grabbed the remote, flicking the TV on and begin flipping through channels, looking for something worth watching. He stopped on a channel that gave news on celebrities/bands, he’s always liked the show and they did give out news about almost everyone. He picked up his sandwich and took a huge bite, watching and listening to the TV.
“The American rock band Black Veil Brides has released information that they are coming out with a new album this year, there is no date released yet nor the name of the album. If you have never heard of the band Black Veil Brides, they are a popular band with five male members. The group was formed in 2006, in Cincinnati Ohio and is currently composed of Andy Biersack who is lead vocals, Ashley Purdy bass guitarist and backing vocals, Jake Pitts lead guitarist, Jeremy Ferguson or Jinxx rhythm guitarist and violinist and Christian Coma or CC on drums. Black Veil Brides are known for their use of black makeup, body paint, black studded clothing and long hair which were all inspired by Kiss and Motley Crue’s state persona, as well as other 1980’s glam metal acts. In an interview with Artisan News, the band’s singer Andy Biersack said that the band decided to start working on their fourth album. Take a look at this,” The woman said and suddenly the screen changed and Andy was watching the interview with Artisan News and there he was sitting there. “Yeah it’s crazy. We’ve been touring for, what, almost half a decade and that’s it. We don’t have the long, storied history but we’ve gone through so many evolutionary changes and stylistically in the band, we’ve never released two records that sounded the same. I think that the next step for the band is to do something we’ve never done before, which is to take a minute and really evaluate where everyone around us is and what we want to start writing about and what the next step for the band is, logically. But also just on the artistic feel, let it be organic and let us feel something new, because we’ve always been. With the exception of Wretched and Divine, the first two records were, ‘okay now you have to make a record. Go do it. You have this amount of time, you have this amount of money. Please get it done.’ With Wretched and Divine we had more of an opportunity to do something that was outside of the box. We still didn’t have much time, but we were allowed a little bit more of an opportunity to express ourselves. So now, I think, we’re the band that I think we should be. I think we’re at the right place. We’re the best that we’ve ever been musically. The camaraderie within the band is at an all-time high. And it’s not always been that way. There’s certainly been fights inside of this band, like any band, over the last couple of years, but I will tell you that on this tour, there’s not been anything that’s been negative; it’s been very positive experience and we’ve all had a lot of fun. Because, again, we’re all adults and we’ve been doing this long enough to know that those personality differences are not enough for you to try to ruin the career that you’ve paved. And I think sometimes bands forget that: ‘Wow, we just can’t get along.’ Well maybe you will soon. Just wait it out. You’re not getting along today; just wait. Stay with the thing you love. And that’s what we did. We’ve had our darkest moments and we’ve all had big in-fighting and everything, but we’re best friends and we’re brothers and we’ve gotten through it, just like we always will, so I’m excited to make another record with my four best friends.” The screen went back to the announcer on the news after the interview video ended. “But that was back in 2013, Andy also said in an interview with Pit Cam TV that they may finish the album in the studio during around the summer of 2014. Is this the album we’ve been waiting for about a year? Which we can understand why it took the band so long, this year was a train-wreck for the band. On Jinxx’s Twitter page he announced that he was single during tour and there were rumors that Sammi Doll, Jinxx’s wife, cheated on him. So far Jinxx has not released any information if he or Sammi are back together or currently going through divorce. Then Andy Biersack was spotted with another girl who was not his current girlfriend Juliet Simms, a rumor went around forever he was cheating on Juliet Simms with a girl name Pandora Chambers who posted a video on Youtube telling people about her life and Andy helped make it better, then Juliet and Andy broke up, and Juliet announced she was pregnant by Andy Biersack. They remained broken up, and as of right now Andy’s relationship status is currently single. Now you may think ‘What else could happen?’ well, Andy Biersack and Pandora Chambers were photographed leaving a baby store together and Pandora looked like she had a stomach. Is Pandora Chambers pregnant by Andy Biersack? There is no statement made by either one of them.” The woman said, Andy’s jaw dropped and he was beyond speechless as the photo showed up, pointing out Pandora’s pregnant stomach.
“Oh my god,” Andy said, his jaw still open. “You bitch! Boo!” Andy hissed, turning off the TV in anger. Why couldn’t people just mind their own business? Why would they want to gossip about someone else’s life when it’s none of their business? Because they get paid to do it.
Andy shook his head side to side and picked up his cell phone, dialing Ashley’s number quickly and putting it to his ear. He listened to the dial tone and waited for Ashley to pick up, finally on the third ring Ashley picked up.
“Hello?”
“Hey, you’d never guess what just happened!” Andy said, still feeling heated about it.
“What happened?” Ashley asked curiously.
“I was watching TV, you know that TV show that talks about bands and celebrities all the time?”
Ashley thought for a second but then realized what he was talking about. “Oh yeah, I remember. What about it?”
“I took Pandora to a baby store yesterday afternoon and when we left we were surrounded by paparazzi, so now they think I got Pandora pregnant!”
Ashley started to laugh. “Oh that’s hilarious, but bad at the same time. I’m crossed on what to feel, does Pandora know?”
“No she doesn’t know yet, but damn Ash, do you know how bad that looks?”
“It looks better on you than on me.” Ashley told him, Andy’s face went serious.
“Dude, fuck you.”
“I was just saying jeez! Just say the baby isn’t yours.” Ashley told him, Andy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
“But everyone will still know she’s pregnant, what if her parents sees that crap Ash?”
Ashley’s thought on it all changed, he didn’t even think about it and that was bad if they found out. Then what will Gail and James do? Start harassing Pandora again?
“I didn’t think about that..” Ashley said, his voice trailing off just a bit. Andy sighed and shook his head side to side, picking up his plate and carrying it back to the kitchen.
“I won’t let them get near her.”
“Same here Andy, they’ll have to get through all five of us before they reach her. She doesn’t need that shit on top of pregnancy at the moment.” Ashley said, becoming his overprotective self with Pandora. Before Andy could speak the phone beeped, and he pulled the phone back and saw Pandora was calling.
“Hey I’ll call you back later, Pandora is calling on the other line.” Andy said, they said bye then Andy switched over. “Hello Pandora.”
Pandora giggled. “Hi Andy, what’s up?”
“I just got done eating a sandwich, you?”
“Oh my god?! A sandwich, what was on it?” Pandora said, Andy chuckled.
“Um, mayonnaise, mustard, American cheese, smoked ham and turkey, bacon and lettuce.” Andy replied, Pandora groaned.
“Aw, I want one!”
“Well when you get off work I’ll make you one.” Andy said with a chuckle, she cheered.
“I should get off work early then.”
“For a fucking sandwich?” Andy asked with a laugh, Pandora giggled.
“Yes! I love sandwiches okay?”
“Your not coming home early for a sandwich, jeez. You need to work.”
“I know, but I want a sandwich.” Pandora said, she was frowning even though he couldn’t see it. He pulled out a stool from the island and sat down, placing his elbows on the counter top and still holding the phone to his ear.
“I figured you do.”
“What’s for dinner?” Pandora asked, Andy laughed.
“Have you eaten today? Because you must be really freaking hungry, or it’s just that baby that’s making you hungry.”
“I have eaten today, and it’s just the baby. But you know what we should have for dinner?”
“What?”
“A steak, baked potato and a salad on the side, mmm. Delicious.” Pandora said, Andy smiled.
“If that’s what you want we’ll do it.”
“Seriously?”
“No I’m fucking with you, your getting frozen pizza. Sorry.” Andy said, then he laughed. “Yes I’m serious, if you buy the stuff when I’m coming to pick you up that would be awesome.”
“I guess I could do that.” Pandora said, he smiled.
“You will if you want to eat.”
“Fine I will, well my break is almost over so I have to head back in and get back to work. I’ll call you when I’m off.”
“Sounds good, be careful and don’t work too hard.” Andy said.
“I’ll try not to, bye Andy.” Pandora said, Andy smiled.
“Bye.” He hung up the phone and laid the phone on the island when suddenly Buttercup jumped up onto the island, and purred.
He smiled and figured Buttercup was hungry, so he got up and found the food bowl. As he grabbed the cat food, Crow came running into the kitchen and he ended up feeding both cats…


Five thirty.
Andy pulled in front of the grocery store and saw Pandora getting up from the bench and approaching the mustang, she held two grocery bags and he figured she had gotten the steaks, potatoes and salad. She opened the passenger side door and got inside, putting the bag in the floorboard and grabbing her seat belt and putting it on. Andy smiled and put the mustang in drive and drove off, at that moment Pandora had hooked her Ipod up to the radio and started to play Black Veil Brides We Stitch These Wounds. They drove in silence for a little while, listening to We Stitch These Wounds when suddenly they both began singing.
“The tears we’ve cried, this love has died, you’re by yourself with me tonight, it’s what we hide with every lie and Stitch These Wounds with me tonight,” They sang, then they just continued. “I’ll think of it each time I touch you, or every time I hear his name, these walls will never crumble, here’s our cause to blame, sit down with thoughts alone now, with blood these lyrics came, your words can eat right through me, death could hear my shame, the tears we’ve cried, this love has died, you’re by yourself with me tonight, it’s what we hide with every lie and Stitch These Wounds with me tonight.” Pandora had to stop singing since she couldn’t do the screaming part, but something surprised her. “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Then it suddenly stopped as the solo began, Pandora looked at Andy in shock, her eyes wide. He took a quick glimpse at her, and made a weird, questioning face.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“Did you just scream?” Pandora asked, still in disbelief.
“Yes I did, do I still got it?”
“Yes you do, and may I say, that was awesome!”
Andy laughed. “It’s been a while since I have, so I thought I’d see if I still got it.”
Pandora smiled. “It was still good honestly, it always will be.” Andy smiled at her words and after We Stitch These Wounds ended, Never Give In came on and they began singing along with that as well.
“A reason, a victim, a shining beacon in the sky, you yearn for what’s missing, the power hidden in the night. An angel, a demon, the parts you play on lonesome nights, the damage inflicted, the pain and lust they leave behind.” They both sang, even though these songs would be considered old by now, Pandora still loved them as always. “Never give in, never back down, never give in. We’re soldiers in season, we can bring change before we die, the tales of their beatings, to fear what lies beneath our eyes. Never give in, never back down, never give in, never back down, when your life feels lost, fights against all odds! Never give in, never back down!” Once the solo began they stopped singing, and Pandora reached over and turned down the volume.
“After I have the baby, one day, I want to get a tattoo.” Pandora told him, he looked at her quickly then back at the road.
“What kind of tattoo?”
“I don’t know where I want it, but it will say Never Give In.”
Andy smiled. “That would be a cool tattoo.”
“I think so too, so it’s on my bucket list.” Pandora said, he smiled and nodded.
“Well, I’ll be sure to make sure it happens.”
They arrived home sooner than they thought and started on dinner, while the steaks were cooking along with the baked potatoes, Andy and Pandora worked on the salad and that’s when Andy thought he’d bring up the rumor about Pandora being pregnant by him.
“So, I want to tell you something I heard today.”
“What?” Pandora asked, chopping up pieces of ham and putting it into the salad.
“It’s a rumor and people are thinking your pregnant by me, because when we were photographed leaving the baby store, they saw your stomach and they think your pregnant by me.” Andy said, Pandora sighed and shook her head side to side.
“What do we do now?”
“Well, I’ll announce on my twitter page and Facebook page that your not pregnant by me. To try to clear it up.”
“But they’ll still know I’m pregnant?” Pandora said, Andy nodded.
“Yes, but it’s yours and Ashley’s decision if you want people to know Ashley got you pregnant.” Andy told her, Pandora didn’t know if she was ready for that, maybe she and Ashley should think about that a bit more.
“I’ll have to think about it.”
“No pressure Pandora.” Andy told her, she nodded and smiled at him, he returned a smile and they both finished working on the salad.

12:30 AM.
That night after Andy took a shower and got ready for bed, he got on his laptop and logged onto his Twitter page to see almost all the BVB army members talking about the pregnancy rumor.


ProudMemberOfBVBArmy: I don’t know if I believe Pandora Chambers is pregnant by Andy Biersack, does anyone else agree?

BVBMember: I saw the picture of Pandora and she does look pregnant, but Andy and Pandora are not together are they? So how would she be pregnant by him?

ArmyMember2006: I think it would be adorable if Pandora was pregnant by Andy, I totally ship those two <3 (:

FellowFallenAngel: I am shocked.

Wretched&Divine: I don’t know what to believe…



Andy sighed and decided he needed to clear it up now, so he clicked on the box and started to type his message to all the Black Veil Brides army members..



Andy Biersack: Hello army members, as I can see I’m guessing you have heard the rumor that Pandora Chambers is pregnant by me.. I know it may look like I am the father, since there is a picture of me and Pandora leaving a baby store together.. But I just want to clear it up, I am not the father of Pandora’s baby. I am her best friend, and no we are not together. I went with her to the baby store because I didn’t want her to go alone, best friends do that.. So no, Pandora is not pregnant by me.


Andy posted it to the world, and clicked out of Twitter and posted the same message on Facebook. After he was done clearing it up, he turned off his laptop and laid down. Falling to sleep quickly.. But hoping people as in James, Gail and Sierra would leave Pandora alone if they know..
