Knives & Pens

Pandora woke up the next morning to the sun shining brightly into her eyes, she figured it was a bit late if the sun was shining that bright into her bedroom. She laid there for a second on her side, looking at the window and the bright light shining through the white see through curtains. She sat up finally and got out of the bed slowly, trying to catch the sign of getting sick before it happens. But she felt fine, so she grabbed her white robe and pulled her arms through the sleeves. She walked away from the bed and headed to her closed bedroom door, she gripped the door knob and turned it, pulling the door open and stepping into the cool hallway. Since it started to get so hot lately, Andy had turned up the air conditioners and made the house cooler than it was outside. She headed downstairs, not seeing Andy just yet until she heard something crash in the kitchen and heard a deep voice curse “Shit.” Pandora smiled and headed to the kitchen, seeing Andy standing in front of the refrigerator with the door open and picking up a Coke can that laid in the floor.
“Hey.” Pandora greeted, taking a seat at the island. Andy looked at her and smiled, then put the Coke up and grabbed a bottle of cold water.
“Did we finally decide to wake up?” Andy joked after closing the refrigerator door and turning around to face Pandora, she smiled at his sarcasm.
“Yes we did, how long have you been up?”
Andy hummed in thought, acting like he’s been up forever. “I’ve been up since nine.”
Pandora took a glance at the oven’s clock and saw it was almost one, he has been up a while and she wondered what he’s been up to.
“Wow, I overslept big time.”
“You think?” Andy chuckled, Pandora giggled and smiled then stretched her arms.
“What are we doing today?”
“Anything you want to do, but I have a surprise for you.” Andy said, Pandora was suspicious and a bit worried. Not sure if she should be excited, or scared of his surprise.
“What?”
Andy smiled. “Follow me.” He said, grabbing his water bottle from the island and walking out of the kitchen to the living room. Pandora followed behind him, and sat down beside him on the couch. He picked up his laptop and opened it, typing in his password without Pandora looking shortly after opening it. He went to Youtube, typed in the search box Andy Black They Don’t Need To Understand and clicked the search button, as he waited for it to load, he decided to explain.
“So, I guess your wondering who Andy Black is right?”
“Well duh.” Pandora said jokingly, Andy smirked and chuckled.
“Well I am launching a brand new project. It’s called Andy Black, which is not a band, it’s just something fun and artistic for me to try something musically I wouldn’t want to force into Black Veil Brides. It’s just something fun for me to do, and I will continue doing Black Veil Brides, it’s not like I’m going to leave the band and start to do this. But anyways, I released my first song with it, and I want you to hear it.” Andy explained, Pandora smiled.
“Okay cool, play it pretty boy.”
Andy laughed. “Pretty boy?”
“Don’t question it, just go along with it.” Pandora told him, Andy clicked on the video and began playing it. Pandora listened to it carefully, smiling and enjoying this side of him. She liked it a lot, and of course he had a cigarette with him in the music video, that’s expected from Andy. She giggled at that thought, and focused harder on the song. It was beautiful, and meaningful. Once the song ended, Andy looked at her and she looked up at him with a smile. “I love it!” She told him, he smiled.
“You do?”
“Yes seriously, it’s a good side of you and I like it. Just don’t leave Black Veil Brides, or else I’d have to hurt you.” Pandora said, Andy chuckled.
“I’m not going to leave Black Veil Brides, promise.” Andy told her, clicking out of Youtube and closing the laptop.
“Good, cause I don’t want to hurt you,” Pandora said, then she sighed and got up. “Well I’m going to go look alive instead like a zombie, I’ll be back soon.”
Andy laughed. “Good luck with that!”
Pandora shook her head side to side and smiled, walking upstairs and down the hallway, to her bedroom. She closed the bedroom door and headed to the bathroom, closing the bathroom door also. She liked her privacy, nothing wrong with that. She pulled the shower curtain back and turned on the water, making sure it was warm enough for her. She didn’t want it too hot, cause she’d burn up with the weather they’ve been having. Pandora enjoyed taking showers, showers was like a thinking room for her. She went there to think about things, also having a shower made her feel better. She liked the clean feeling she felt after getting out, it was strange maybe, but she didn’t care. After she got out of the shower, she headed into her bedroom and started to pick out some clothes. She got dressed quickly, which she realized the shirt showed off her bump. She walked into the bathroom and began putting on her makeup, she didn’t put on a lot. Just some foundation, uncolored eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara. She wasn’t a lip stick nor lip gloss kind of girl, so she just put on lip balm and that was it. She grabbed her brush and brushed her hair, then dried it with the hair dryer. She put her hair in parts and straightened her hair, then after she was done she just let it lay flat. Before she left her bathroom she heard her cell phone ringing in the bedroom, she figured it was Collin or Ashley. She wasn’t one hundred percent sure on which one, but she turned off the hair straighter and headed into the bedroom. She picked her phone up from the bed and looked at the number that text her, she didn’t recognize the number, but she went ahead and read the text message.


Unknown: You’re pregnant?!



Pandora stared at the text in confusion, not knowing whose number this was, nor knew who this person was. But whoever it was, knew her and knew she was pregnant. But she guessed with the rumor spreading around that she was pregnant by Andy, everybody knew she was pregnant. But it didn’t tell her who this person was. She stood in thought, staring at the text message and deciding if she should message back. She decided she’d text back, besides she was worried of who this person was.


Pandora: Who is this?


Pandora sent the text message then laid the phone back on the bed and walked over to her closet, she expected a while wait for the person to respond. But when she grabbed her converses, her phone started to go off again. She took her time to read the text message, she put on her converses first then picked up her cell phone to read the response.



Gail: Your mother.


Pandora stared at the text, then she sighed heavily and decided not to respond back. She held onto her cell phone while she left the bedroom, heading downstairs to find Andy and tell him about it. She found him in the living room, sitting on the couch and watching Batman. His focus was on the TV, his eyes not moving from it at all. Pandora sat down beside him, looking at him and wondering if he was still alive by the way he looked at the TV.
“Andy?”
“Yeah?” Andy asked, blinking a few times, but not moving his eyes from the TV.
“My mom text me.”
Andy’s focus on the TV broke and he looked at Pandora, then at the phone in her hand.
“What did she say?”
“When she texted me I didn’t know the number, but she said you’re pregnant and then I replied who is this, and she responded your mother.” Pandora told him, he shook his head side to side and held out his right hand for the phone. She handed it to him and he pulled up the text messages from Gail, shaking his head side to side he began to type and Pandora watched.


Pandora: Just leave her alone Gail.


He sent the message then deleted the text messages and handed it back to Pandora, then smiled.
“Do you want your number changed or her number blocked?”
“Changed please.” Pandora responded, he smirked.
“You got it, we’ll do it right now.” Andy replied.
They changed her number and she felt better, after texting the guys and Collin her new number she joined Andy on the couch and started to watch Batman with him…
