Love And Other Drugs

"And when you fell, Luxe oh my God I about peed myself!" Char was laughing and Luxe only blushed. There was laughter all around and the singer was trying to find the humor in the situation, but it was hard.

They were all taking a break after Luxe and Andy finally managed to get their motorcycle stunt done correctly and Luxe was feeling a tad uncomfortable. She was seated on a long leather couch, smooshed between Char and of course Andy had squeezed himself in right next to her. She could feel his eyes staring a hole in to her face and she was tempted to turn to him and give him a piece of her mind.

Of course she was still mad at him-the man completely refused to see how he had pushed her away and yet here he was, acting like they were just as in love as ever. Luxe did love Andy-she always would-and yet there were moments in her life where she wished she had never met him. They were like magnets, coming towards one another constantly and yet sometimes their magnets would get turned around and they would repel one another.
Luxe didn't understand it, but she found it fucking annoying.


"Yeah well, at least it only took one more take to get it right." Luxe said, pushing some of her hair out of her face all while still avoiding Andy's gaze. The small space was filled with people-all of the BVB guys were in various stages of standing and sitting, while the Dolls were all seated around with their boys at their sides.

"If you had just relaxed then we would of gotten it right the first time." Andy remarked and Luxe bit down on her tongue so hard she could taste the blood that was filling her mouth.

Arrogant mother...

"Well no one can be as perfect as you Andy." She said with a smile on her face and venom in her tone.


A silence filled the room and Luxe knew that all eyes were on the couple as Luxe finally turned and faced the man she once loved.


"I'm only saying if you hadn't of dug your heels in to the ground then we would of gotten it." He said, trying to keep a smile on his face, but Andy was finding it hard. Luxe was staring at him, her grey eyes wide and filled with so much aggravation that Andy could feel the heat from her skin.

"Alright then. Well I think it's time to get back to it..." Pixie said, placing her empty beer bottle on the table as everyone else began to disperse. The fighting singers just continued to sit there, staring one another down and waiting to see who would make the first move.


Luxe stared in to those blue eyes only inches from her face and she felt her heart break. This was the man who she once believe she would be with forever-this was the man who had saved her countless times. And yet they couldn't be together-it would just never work. Andy wanted things...he wanted to be a rockstar and travel the world and while Luxe wanted that too, she also wanted to start settling down. She'd never had a family...but now she could feel it in her bones that she was meant for more than just a chaotic life.

The both of them stood at exactly the same time, Andy chuckling as he rubbed a hand across the back of his neck. Luxe said nothing, but only turned around and walked off towards the set where they were getting ready for the next shot. Andy watched her go, his heart aching and pleading with him to run after her and make everything better.

But he was chicken shit and didn't know what to do.


Pretty boys at the university
Watching them walk
In their Levi jeans


The music was loud as Andy stood by and watched Pixie and Mads' boyfriends walk in front of the girls, their hands in their pockets as the camera panned over the sides of their legs and ended right on their tight jean clad asses. He only rolled his eyes, slightly jealous that it wasn't him walking in front of Luxe like that.

The next shot was a wide group shot and Andy walked forward to take his place behind the girls. They would shoot several of these shots as this would be for the chorus of the video and Andy smirked as he tried to get as close to Luxe as possible. It was hard being in the same space as her and not being able to kiss her or even be affectionate with her. He knew Luxe was very angry with him, but he also knew that she still loved him.


Yeah, yeah
I can't help but fall
Yeah, yeah
God bless 'em all

American boys
Gotta love 'em, gotta need 'em
Gotta want 'em
They're my drug of choice
Yeah, yeah, yeah
American boys
Wanna slay 'em, wanna lay 'em
Wanna play 'em
They're my favourite toys
American, American boys


The huge group of guys behind the girls all shouted and tossed their hands in the air as each and every shot, which made Luxe smile as she tried to focus on the camera that was pointed at her face. How far they had come from those scared five girls, on tour for the first time and not knowing how to move around and now they were a group of women who owned every stage they were put on. As the camera panned across her face and zoomed in, Luxe gave a playful wink just as the last verse of the chorus rung out.


"Alright! Next shot is the car scene!" The director called out and Luxe stepped out of frame as she watched a group of PA's move their instrument set up out of the way and wheel in a full sized 1967 cherry red Camaro on to set.

"I gotta admit Luce...this is a pretty cool video." Someone said in her ear and Luxe felt her entire body tense. It was Andy and she knew he was trying to get her to be in a better mood towards him.

"Thanks...we're almost up." Luxe said as she turned back to the set and noticed that Jinxx, Jake, Jeremy and CC were all climbing in to the car.

Luxe moved to get on the roof, using the hand of a very cute PA who had been eyeing her all day. She crouched on the roof of the car as a gust of wind blew across her face-this was going to be interesting.


Metal head boys in the back of a Camaro
Banging to Metallica on the radio


As she moved her lips to the words, Luxe knew that inside the car the guys were banging their heads back and forth as hard as they could. The car was actually shaking and Luxe tried her best to keep her position, sing and not come tumbling face forward off the roof. It was a pretty cool shot, but Luxe knew that the one coming up was not one that she was looking forward to...mostly because it was another one with Andy.


"Reset!" A PA called and as Luxe was helped down from the roof of the car and set on her feet, she watched as the guys climbed out of the car and high fived one another. It was their Wayne's World moment and Luxe only laughed as CC approached her, tossing an arm around her shoulders.

"Thanks for inviting us to do this Luxe. It's been a lot of fun." He said and Luxe only smiled as she looked up towards the drummer. She had always liked CC-he made her laugh and was so easy going.

"No problem." Luxe said, but she wasn't looking at CC anymore. Andy had just walked out from behind a curtain, his thin frame clad in a red and black lettermen's jacket. It was different than his leather one, but somehow Luxe found all of the air being sucked out of her lungs by the look of him.

"He misses you." CC said and that seemed to snap Luxe right out of her girlish daydream.

"I'm sure he does. I gotta get out there C..." Luxe said as she walked towards the middle of the room and took the mic in to her hands.


The entire scene for this one part was incredibly complicated, but what involving Luxe and Andy wasn't complicated? At first Andy was to play the part of the all star stud, taking her in to his arms and as they spun around, he would then be changed in to a punk like you, being back in his leather jacket. As Luxe took her position, she tried to keep her racing heart from giving her away. Andy walked over to her, placing one hand on the small of her band, while his other grabbed for her free one that wasn't gripping the mic for dear life.

"Action!"


From an all-star stud-

She mouthed and as Andy spun her, Luxe felt her entire body tingle. He was amazing...simply put and yet Luxe knew that no matter how amazing Andy was, he would always be the guy who broke her heart. The spin ended and Andy was quickly given his leather jacket back before taking the starting position again. This was probably going to take a few times to get right, but Luxe knew they could fix anything in the editing room.

As she spun, Luxe tried to remember the words, but she kept getting lost in Andy's soft blue eyes.


-to a punk like you


As he spun her, Andy couldn't believe how nice it felt to have this girl back in his arms, even if it was just for a moment. They'd had an interesting day together and Andy knew that while Luxe probably wasn't so happy about his being there, she wasn't kicking and punching him either. He longed to bend down and place his lips against her's, but thought better of it as the two of them righted and Luxe made a hasty retreat over towards the makeup table.

A spark had flown between then, now if only Andy could figure out a way to keep it burning just long enough to make amends.
