~Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness~

Star's P.O.V.~

By the time we reached the hospital, we saw that Jake and CC were already sitting quietly in the waiting room. "Have you guys seen him today?" I asked either one of them, sitting besides Jinxx on the leather booths. "Yeah, he says he's really excited to get out of here. We went over earlier to grab him extra clothes." Jake explains, shoving a handful of chips into his mouth.

"When can we see him?" Ashley had asked, looking around for the time. "I assume you could now, I mean, the doctor just said they're making sure he is 100% okay to go home." Jake said again. "Here, follow me." He wiped his crummy hands on his shirt and started walking towards the exit.

Andy was sitting on the hospital bed while the nurses checked his side to make sure the stitches were in and tight. He glanced towards the door, seeing me. He shot me a heart warming smile that made my stomach swirl and pulse quicken. "Okay Mr. Biersack, you're free to go. Just be sure to make certain that you're keeping it clean." The nurse directed. He nodded and slowly hopped off of the bed. I set the pile of clothes aside as he embraced me in a warm, safe hug.

"I've missed you." He mumbled in my ear, burying his head in the crook of my neck. "I missed you too." I pulled him closer by the hospital gown. I felt his lips connect with my cheek as he pulled away and smiled at me.

"Here." I placed the clothing into his large palms and sat down while he went into the bathroom to change. He came back out in a white tshirt and black, ripped jeans He looked amazing.

"Come here Star." I tugged at my arm and placed me on his lap. "Andy...I...I told them." I admitted, playing with my hair. "Told who what babe?" he asked, slightly confused. "I went to the police station today and told Officer Smith about Brittany and what Anthony did and..." I stopped in mid sentence. I haven't been able to tell Andy about Anthony today, shit shit shit! "What do you mean 'What Anthony did?'" He asked, He's going to be pissed.

Andy's P.O.V.~

"I went to the police station today and told Officer Smith about Brittany and what Anthony did and..." Anthony? My adrenaline rises just by the sound of his name. 'Keep calm Andy, it's Star' I scold myself.
"What did you say?" I ask calmer than I expected. "N-nothing I mean from -" "Star...don't lie to me. What did he do?" She bit her lip nervously and tucked a strand of hair away from her face. "I saw him today.." She mumbled, scared of what to say. "And...?" I pushed. "He wouldn't let me go! I tried I promised I tried to get away." Tears started spilling. "What did he do to you?" I felt sick just saying it. "His friend was with him" Oh for the love of g- "Anthony grabbed ahold of me and he..Andy I'm sorry.." "Calm on baby. Talk to me." Irritation slowly raised but I fought it back. "He kissed me. I pushed him away but he just threw me to Brady.Brady tried to but I bit him which only made him hit me and throw me to the dirt." She took a shaky breathe before continuing. "Anthony picked me up and shoved me against the fence. He attempted to fumble with my belt before getting it off. He tugged at my jeans before...." "Stop! Please stop I don't want to hear this." I said sternly, tugging at my hair. "Before Ashley and Jinxx found me. Jinxx pulled me away while Ashley punched Anthony."

Star's P.O.V.~

I finished the story I've been telling people all day now. Andy sighed in relief before crushing me a hug, whispering that he's sorry he wasn't there. I felt so pathetic telling him. So...weak.

"Ready?" He asked as we walked through the doors of the waiting room to see the guys on their phones. They all nodded and got up from their seats. As we reached the parking lot, Andy sat in the passenger seat, Jake driving. While Jinxx, Ashley, and CC sat in the back. "Uhh, where the hell am I suppose to sit?" I ask, crossing my arms like a child who doesn't get a candy bar at a grocery shop. "Here.." Andy patted his lap. I was unsure but sat down anyways.

*At Home*

We made our way into the living room, I spotted Violet laying on the couch with a bowl of Ashley's favorite cereal."Hello there." Andy greeted, laughing at her random appearances. "Hey" She mumbled with a spoon in her mouth. "Heyyy! That's my favorite!" Ashley whined once he saw what she was eating. He stomped away childishly and went into the kitchen.

"So, where did you go?" Violet asked me. "And she ate it all!!!" Ashley yelled again, making us burst out into a fit of giggles. "Anyways, I left school early to get Andy from the hospital with the guys." I explain while sitting next to her. "You make it sound like you were getting me from a daycare." Andy playfully pouts. I poke his lip and giggle. "You might as well be."

"Well you could've answered your phone. I was worried." She scolds. "Sorry mother." I playfully roll my eyes while feeling my pockets for my G3 phone. No luck. "I..uhm..I think I left my phone at...school?" I say unsurely, checking through my bag just incase. "Here. Andy, come help me look." I pleaded, grabbing his hand.

"We've got a problem." I told him quietly when we stepped into the kitchen. "Where's your phone?" He asks. "I think Brady still has it from after Anthony grabbed it from my pocket and looked through my messages." "Shit" I heard him mumble. "We'll get you a new phone!" He says, leaning against the countertop. "But Annndy! I need that phone!" I whined quite loudly. "Why?" He asks. "It's that only way my dad can get ahold of me. And who knows what Anthony and Brady would do with it."
"We'll get it tomorrow. I'll meet you at the parking lot directly before lunch, got it? I'm assuming they'll be under there again." He rolls his eyes but I can tell he's serious. "Okay."

"How's your side?" I asked him. "Hurts like a bitch. Can you hand me the bottle of pain meds please?" I nod and shuffle through my bag until I fell the plastic cylinder. "Here you go baby." He smiles at the name and pops the top off and outs one in his mouth.

"Goodnight guys! We'll see you in the morning." Andy calls before dragging me up the stairs and pulls me into his room. "Can't I go get-""you can wear one of my shirts to bed." I nod and pull mine off revealing a plain gray bra and slip off my jeans. "Here you go..." He trails off. I pull my arms to cover my bruised
stomach and put my head down slightly.

He tips my chin up and kisses me lightly. "I can't ever get enough of you." He kisses me again, only this time moving my arms away from my stomach. "Please don't cover up in front of me. You don't need to." "But-" "babe. Please." He begs, squeezing my hands. "Okay" I whisper, looking into his blue gems. He lets go and throws me a plain black T-shirt. I slip it on and it's pretty baggy and goes just below my underwear.

He pulls back the comforters and waits after we both climb in to cover us. He out his arm under my back, pulling me closer to him by my waist. "I love you star." He hums in my ear. "I love you too." "Goodnight Andy" I kissed his nose. "Goodnight beautiful." He kisses my lips and we fall asleep, embracing each other's touch.
