My Romeo

After the incident, Nicole and I watched my favourite Halloween movie since Halloween is next week. We watched the Corpse Bride about three times, drinking hot chocolate and we ordered a pizza. And in the middle of the third movie we fell asleep. When I woke up I checked my phone. Twenty messages and five phone calls. Three of the messages were from Kellin and the rest from Andy. I ignore Kellin's and read Andy's.

*Where'd you go?*
*What happened, I thought you were coming to the show*
*Did Ash say something to you?*
*Why aren't you picking up your phone?*
*Sorry for worrying, I know we're only friends but I still care for your well being. You're my friend and if anything were to happen to you I'd kill myself. Just please message me back, I worry.*

The last message gets to me. I message him back.

*I'm sorry I got you all worried about me. I'm okay, I was just wasn't feeling well last night so I asked Ashley to pull over and I got out of the car. I hope you got my message from Nicole. And I bet you were awesome last night. I hope to be able to see your next show. Tell CC, Jinxx, and Juliet I'm sorry as well.*

I place my phone on the table and go change in my bedroom. I put on my baggy long sleeve red shirt, my light blue boyfriend jeans, and my red vans. I let my hair down and grab fifty bucks from my aunt's room. Nicole's still sleeping so I grab my phone and slip out of the apartment. There's a new message from Andy.

*No need to be sorry, but I'd love to talk soon. Today maybe?* -Batman

*How about right now?* -HarleyQuinn

*Sounds great, come right over, Juliet's not here.* -Batman

I walk down the hall and knock on the door. Andy opens it with a smile.
"Come in." He says opening the door wider. And I do. "Is there anything I can get you to drink or eat?" I shake my head.

"No thanks, Andy have the cops visited you?" I ask so we don't actually talk about what happened last night.

"No, but after what I told the cop at the school, they won't be after me."

"Why? What'd you tell him?"

"I told him I was with you the time of the murder, and that I was having an affair with you. I told him that Juliet wasn't home at the time of the murder, and that she might have known of the affair. So her way of getting back at me would have been killing your parents so that I could be suspected of it. Therefore, I have an alibi for the time, and gave him another lead with a motive."

"Smart Biersack."

"Why do you ask? Did they get in contact with you?"

"No not yet, just wondering."

"So are you ready to talk about last night?"

"I was, I was crying all last night. And I know you don't want to hear this; but I miss your stupid face."

"I miss you too but you're where you're supposed to be right now with Kellin."

"I know but that's why I didn't show last night. I was scared to tell you the truth."

"Well you shouldn't be afraid of telling me anything. You know I'll always be there for you."

"Thanks, would you like to go out for breakfast with me? I'm buying."

"Sure, where to?"

"The diner?"

"Okay."

Andy drives us over to the diner and we sit at a table in the middle of the room. Lisa the waitress comes over to serve us.
"Hey Scarlet, hey Andy, so I see you two love birds are on a date." she says, and Andy and I look at each other.

"No not dating, just two friends going out for breakfast." Says Andy.

"Well what should I start you guys out with?" She asks.

"A black coffee for me." He says.

"Orange juice for me please." I say. She nods and walks over to the back counter to get our beverages.

"So you skipped my class yesterday." He begins.

"Don't feel offended, I skipped all my classes." I tell him.

"Well since you did, I guess I'll catch you up today. After breakfast we can go back to my apartment and run lines of the play. Plus the lyrics of all the songs you're going to preform." He tells me.

"I guess today is the best day for it. My friend Nicole, you know her right?"

"Yes, of course."

"Well she was wondering if she could switch from her art class at the end of the day to your class."

"Well I'd have to talk to Hayley about it, but it should be fine."

"Hayley?"

"Miss Williams' first name."

"Oh."

"Here you are." Says Lisa placing our drinks on the table. "So I've been calling the number you gave me, but Ashley never answers any of my calls."

"You know what, Ashley dropped his cellphone and it's been needing to be fixed for about a week. How about I give you his address instead." Andy says.

"Doesn't that seem a little too direct?" She asks.

"Are you kidding me? Ashley loves it when girls are direct. That's why he's playing hard to get, he wants you to really really want him." He says and I put my hand over my mouth to keep from laughing.

"Wow, thanks Andy."

"No problem, here. Go to this address tonight." He hands her a slip of paper with the address on it."You know what you want for breakfast?" He asks me and I nod.

"I'd like the pancakes, bacon, and toast special please." I tell her.

"And I'll have what she's having please." He says and she goes back behind the counter.

"It seems like you always get what I get." I tell him.

"That's because you have great taste." He says placing his hand over mine.

"Please don't touch me!" I freak out pulling my hand away and holding it to my chest.

"Scarlet what's wrong?"

"I-I don't know, I'm sorry." I getting up from the table and rush to the restroom, beginning to ball my eyes out. I want to tell him but I can't. Three minutes later, Lisa comes into the restroom, rushing to my side. She tries to put her hands around me but I start to freak. "Don't touch me!" I yell, I cover my eyes in my palms.

"Scarlet sweetie, it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you. Please tell me what's wrong." She says to me.

"I can't, I just can't tell! Please don't make me tell!"

"Honey, I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to, but it would help." I begin to calm down, but still cannot confess.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. I didn't mean to freak, I'll just get cleaned up." I push myself up off the ground and move to the sink. I rinse my face with cold water and dry it off with a paper towel. I dust myself off and walk back out into the diner.
"Andy, can we leave now?" I ask him.

"Yes of course." I place the fifty on the table, and Andy and I walk out of the diner. I lead the way and walk across the street to the remains of my house.

"Did you really have to burn it down?" I ask him. "I know it wasn't the best looking house but it could still put a roof over someone's head."

"Yeah, sorry had to get rid of the evidence. Do you wanna talk about what just happened back there?"

"Andy I would love to be honest to you about everything, but I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because you're not my boyfriend anymore, so honesty has been thrown out a window."

"Obviously you're trying to cover up your secret with rudeness, so I'm gonna let that slip. Why are we here Scar?"

"You know I could borrow some money from my aunt to rebuild this place, maybe start a family. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"It sounds like you'll have to discuss it with Kellin."

"Oh that's right, I forgot about him. I suppose I will. Andy did you ever see a possible future of us?"

"Yes, but only in my dreams. In real life it just isn't fair to you."

"Part of me wishes we hadn't broken up so I could cry in your arms."

"Why would you be crying?" He looks over at me to see the puffy red eyes and the tears falling down my cheeks. He wraps his arms around me and just stays there holding me. I'm crying so hard right now that I don't really feel his arms. I stood there crying for about a half an hour until I passed out in his arms. Soon I wake up on his couch, my head on his lap.

"Look who finally woke up." Says my best friend. I turn my head to see her sitting across from us. I sit up and face her.

"What happened, I thought we were at my house." I say turning to Andy.

"We were but then you passed out." He tells me, I just nod.

"And you're here." I say faced at Nicole.

"Yeah I was just leaving your apartment as Andy came walking through the hall with you. So he invited me in." She tells me.

"So what have you two been talking about?" I ask. I'm just begging she didn't tell him.

"Just about the play, seeing Nicole's going to join my class." he says.

"I'm playing Sam, Maya's best friend. In the story, Ryan is cheating on Maya with Sam." She tells me.

"Cool." Is all I can say. I guess I should feel comfortable since I'm in the same room as my best friend and the man I'm in love with, but I'm the exact opposite of comfortable right now. I'm completely at a loss of words. Have you ever had those people you talk to one way but you talk to others in a completely different way? It's like having both parts of my world interconnect, and I hate it. That's when Nicole's phone goes off.

"I'll be right back." She says going to the bathroom to answer the call. I turn to Andy.

"Sorry about what happened at the diner early, I've just been having scary thoughts recently. I don't know what's wrong with me."

"Nothing's wrong with you, you're an amazing girl." He says.

"No I'm a sissy bitch who can't stand up to her aunt for someone I really care for."

"You're not a sissy bitch, don't ever put yourself down like that. You're the strongest person I have ever met."

"Sorry guys, got to go." Says Nicole, grabbing her bag.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"I met a girl at the show last night before I left. She's really cute and she just asked me out to coffee."

"It's good to see you're back on the horse again."

"See ya later, bye."

"Nicole."

"What?"

"Bitch!"

"Jerk!" She says before shutting the door.
Andy just looks at me puzzled.

"What?" I ask.

"You guys called each other names, I thought you were best friends." He says and I laugh.

"We are best friends. We said that because we both love Supernatural. We watch it all the time. That's where the lines came from."

"Oh."

"So, I didn't understand what you said earlier in front of the remains of my house."

"What do you mean?"

"You said a future of us in real life wouldn't be fair to me. I don't get it."

"Well obviously there's an age difference between us and because of it, I'm going to die before you. Seeing you'd probably be alone for the remainder of your life, it just wouldn't be fair. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you deserve someone your own age, who makes you happy, and you can spend the rest of your lives together happy and in love."

"Well that's kind of difficult Biersack, seeing I'm-"
I get cut off by the sound of Juliet opening the door. I was about to tell him how I truly feel, but no.

"Andy you should have taken me home last night. You shouldn't have let me go to the party. I woke up in the back of some chic's truck with only shirt on. It took me about an hour to find my jeans and I didn't even bother about the other stuff. Oh hey Scar, you didn't come to the show last night. Where were you?" Juliet asks.

"I started feeling sick on the ride over, sorry." I tell her.

"It's okay sweetheart, there's always next time. I should just invite you on stage to sing with me sometime." She says and my eyes widen.

"Really!?!" Asking as if I were in some dream.

She nods her head. "Yeah, you're terrific kiddo." She says, walking into her bedroom.

"Do you want to go talk somewhere else so you can continue on with what you were saying?" Andy whispers.

"Sure." I whisper back.

"Okay Jules, I'm going to Jacks house and Scar's going home." Andy yells to Juliet.

"Who's Jack?" She yells back.

He doesn't answer and we leave his apartment. "My place?" I ask and he nods. We begin walking down the hall when I see the most adorable thing. Kellin sits at my door holding something in his hands. He gets up as soon as he sees me.

"Irises for my Iris." He says handing my the beautiful flowers. I blush and giggle a bit.

"Thank you, you're the best boyfriend ever!" I squeal giving him a hug and a kiss.

"Mr Biersack, what are you doing here?" Kellin asks.

"I also live in the building, I was just about to catch Scarlet up on Friday, you missed Friday too didn't you?" Andy asks.

"Yeah, do you mind catching me up too?" Kellin asks.

"No problem." Andy says. I unlock the door and let them in.

"Would you guys like something to drink?" I ask

"Whatcha got?" They both ask.

"Coke and Monsters."

"Coke please." Says Kellin.

"Monster thanks." Says Andy.

I pick up two Monsters and a coke and bring the drinks back to the couch. There's a knock on the door and I get up to answer it. As I open the door, my whole body begins to shake as he appears in the door way. There stood none other than Mr Ashley Purdy. I slowly distance myself from him, trying to make Andy think that nothing's wrong, I just hope he buys it, but by the looks of it, I'm the worst actress in Seattle.

"Hey Scarlet, I think we need to talk." Says Ashley.

"What about? There's nothing to talk about." I say, my voice becoming lighter as the seconds go by.

Kellin gets up, putting his arms around me, and whispers to me.
"What's wrong Scar?" He whispers. I am literally speechless, why is he here? I don't want to talk to him.

"Scarlet are you okay?" Andy asks. The events of last night just fills my head of memories of not that long ago, when my father was still alive. The closer Ash gets is the lighter my head gets. Slowly everything darkens and then there was nothing.
