Andy's POV

She's hiding something from me. I hate it. After what I have put myself at risk for her and she wont even open up to me. I can't have it, but I have to. I must fake a smile now and figure out what she's hiding from me later. I sent Scarlet back to her class because I know she has to catch up in that class especially. I walk down to Mr Barakat's classroom for a chat.

"Hey Andy, what's up?" Jack asks.

"Teen pregnancy rates, but other then that, women problems." I say and Jack chuckles.

"What about?"

"My wife is having an affair, but I am also. The woman I'm with is refusing to be open about a relationship she has with another man."

"She probably hooked up with him before she met you and was embarrassed to tell you. Or she probably still has strong feelings for the guy. But if she's a whore she's most likely sleeping with him behind your back."

"None of those statements made me feel better."

"You're the one having an affair. Wait, does the other woman know about the affair? Your and your wife's?"

"Only mine why?"

"She's probably using the other guy as a plan B if you break things off because she's afraid of getting hurt. Never let the other woman know about your wife Andy. What's wrong with you?"

"It's just, this girl is different. I thought she would take the wife thing well. Hell, she gets along with her."

"Wait, she's friends with your wife? How many times did you get hit in the head Biersack? Never allow them to get close, if you do then they can talk, your wife finds out, files a divorce, and the other woman leaves you for plan B guy."

"You're right Jack, I screwed up. Do you got any advice on what to do next?"

"Yeah, wait for the girl to open up to you, trust me, she will."

"Thanks. I better get going before the bell rings for fourth."

"See you after school at the staff meeting." Just as I leave, the bell rings and I rush to my class. Every sits at there seats as I step in.

"Good afternoon class." I say as I sit on my desk. A blonde in the back put her hand up. "You in the back, what's your name?"

"My name's Alice, I was wondering if you had any personal rules for this class. Each teacher has different rules for their classes and I just wanted to know yours." says Alice.

"Yes, rules. The rule is that you respect people's taste in music. That's it. If you're looking for me to say no eating in class and for you not to bully other kids, then you're in the wrong classroom. I know you guys are going to do those things anyways, even though I wish for you not to. I understand, you guys are still young and don't see the power in words just yet. So to start off this lesson, someone pick a song, any song." Oli raises his hand. "Yes Oli boy."

"Just Oli sir, Wake me up when September Ends by Green Day."

"Good choice Oli, and it's Andy to you guys. Oli why don't you come up and write some of the lyrics on the board. Some else?" Kellin's arm is raised. "Kellin is it?"

"Yes, Beaten in Lips by Beartooth."

"Go write that down. One more." Scar puts her hand up. "Scarlet."

"Makeup Smeared Eyes by Your wife."

"Nice. Okay let's look at the first set of lyrics.
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my father's come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends.
Now who can tell me the meaning behind this song?" Alice puts her hand up.

"It's obviously about how he hate September." she says and Scarlet laughs.

"Scarlet, do you have something to share?" I ask.

"I'm sorry for laughing but you're so wrong. This song was written about the death of his father. Thus the lines 'like my father's come to pass' and 'as my memory rests but never forgets what I lost'. Sorry Alice." says Scar.

"Scarlet, you're correct. Okay next set of lyrics.
This is for the kids with the beaten in lips
Whose parents try to shut them up using their fists
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down
This is for the kids with a soul like mine
When people tell you living is a waste of your time
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down.
Who wants to share the meaning of this one?" I ask and a guy in the back puts his hand up. "Sorry, your name?"

"My name's Caleb and this song is about kids being put down just because they're expressing who they truly are, and that no matter what they say or do, they can't hold us down."

"Exactly Caleb. Okay, last one.
Left your t-shirt in my room
Still smells of you
And the picture you hung on the door
Lay smashed, picture perfect
Explains now
Clearly nothing left but a memory
We only made out
You never kissed me
That's how I learned to hold back all feeling." Taylor's hand shoots up.

"This is obviously a classic breakup song, and that one song where it says 'we only made out you never kissed me' means that the relationship was built on lust and not love." says Taylor.

"Everyone, good job. Okay, next you must get into groups of three. This is a class of twenty-seven. There's eighteen guys, nine girls. So each group of three will consist of two guys and one girl. Go." As they all get to work, I set out of the classroom to make a phone call.

"Hey Ash, can you do me a favor?" I ask.

"Yeah sure, what is it?" he asks.

"Find out any history between Scarlet and Jake."

"Jake? Our Jake?"

"Yes our Jake. Can you just do that for me?"

"I'll try my best."

"Thanks Ash." I hag up the phone and make my way down to the Biology Lab, Mr Merrick's Class. I knock twice.

"Mr Biersack, how may I help you?" asks Zack.

"Sorry for interrupting, I just need to speak with Miss Williams for a moment."

"Of course. Nicole, you're needed out in the hall." Nicole walks out and closes the door behind herself.

"You're Scarlet's bestfriend right?" I ask.

"Yes of course, ever since preschool. Why?" she asks.

"She's hiding something from me. I've already gotten my resources on it, but I need to hear it from you, you're her bestfriend."

"What do you need to know Biersack?"

"I need to know her past with Jake."

"Wait why? Is Jake back? If he is, that most likely brings trouble."

"Why?"

"You don't know, do you?"

"Know what?"

"Jake was her first boyfriend. They spent all their time together. But in the last few weeks of their relationship, he started being really mean towards her. He called her cruel names, beat her, cut her, made her bleed. She finally broke when she caught him sleeping around with some slut. Hell she wrote a poem about the pain he had caused and put in at our hangout, under the stairs at the front of the school. You can go check it out for yourself. But the last thing she needs right now is for that son of a bitch to come back into her life."

"Thanks Nicole for the help."

"No problem. Would you care if I used you to get out of this class?"

"Go right ahead."

"Thanks." I head to the front of the school, under the stairs. I look at the wall, I see the hate in her loveletter to pain. I just can't believe the Jake I know and have trusted for years would do such a thing to anyone. I guess you never know what people can hide from you. But if Jake's that bad, then why did Scar need to call him? Him of all people? It's a good thing I have Purdy to find out. I return to the class and sit at my desk. I take out my phone and text Scar.
