~Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness~

Star's P.O.V.~

I woke up two minutes before my alarm clock so I hurry and click the snooze button to avoid waking up Andy. I slowly moved Andy's arm from my waist and got up to go to the bathroom.

I pulled the oversized shirt over my head and got into the shower. As I squeezed the apricot scented shampoo in my hand, I started to think about everything that has happened lately, and even more about what will happen today.

Today can go one in two ways. They can either just give me my phone and leave us alone, or pick a fight about it. Who am I kidding? They aren't going to let us out easy. I rinsed my hair out after rubbing the conditioner and turned off the water, letting the last bit of droplets fall. As I was about to step out, I realized I didn't bring a towel. I stepped out of the shower and pulled on a new, clean pair of underwear. "Andy!" I hesitantly yelled. "Yeah?!" He yelled back. "Can you get me a towel?" As if on cue, I saw the doorknob rattle and push open.

I instantly pull my hands up to cover my bare chest and feel my cheeks flush. "Here's your.." He cut himself off after noticing my lack off clothes. "Towel" he finished, holding the worn out towel in his arm. I went to take it but he shook his head. "What're you doing? Give it." I demanded, reaching my hand out. "Turn around." He instructed. I looked at him curiously before slowly turning away. I felt him carefully pry my hands away from my chest making my heart beat faster. Once my arms were detached, I felt the soft material of the tan towel pressed against my back. I smiled to myself as he gestured for my to put my hands up and wrapped the towel around my body. I tucked it in so it wouldn't come undone and turned back to face Andy. I kissed his cheek and pulled back to see his eyes raking down my now covered body.

"What?" I asked. "What?" He copied, cheeks turning a light shade of pink. "You act as if you've never seen a girl in a towel before." I teased, poking at his chest. "Well...yeah but not...not you." He stumbled over his words. "Actually, that's not true. You've seen me like this before." I said, referring to when we were younger. "Okay. But Star, training bras don't count." He said just above a whisper, like he was sharing a secret. "Shut it Biersack! I was twelve!" I warned, playfully smacking his arm. He lifted me over his shoulder and carried me to the bedroom. "Put me down!" I squealed, laughing and hitting his back. "Okay!" He threw me onto the bed, causing home to bounce a bit. He lunged towards me. Pushing me down and playfully biting my lip before kissing me.

Due to the California weather, I pulled over a strapless, white top with some slightly ripped blue jean shorts. I ran my fingers through my damp hair to keep it from tangling and pulled back my bangs, shoving a bobby pin in it to keep them in place.

Andy dropped me off at the entrance of school and went over the "plan" for later today. "I'm serious Star. Until then, I don't want you to go anywhere near them. I love you beautiful. See you here around noon." I pecked his lips and adjusted the strap of my bag on my shoulder. "I love you too. Promise." I blew him a kiss and ran towards the doors, meeting a Violet at her locker.

"Hey Star!" Violet greeted me. She hooked one arm around me while the other was filled with books and binders. I tucked my iPod safely into my pocket while I waited for her to close her locker. I looked behind me to see Anthony, Brady and two other guys walk past us. Anthony winked at me while Brady just smirked. "Fucking pigs. Wait...Star...isn't that your phon-" "No. My phone is at the house." I quickly interrupted, turning my heel and jogging towards my locker.

The first few periods went pretty fast until lunch finally came. I avoided talking to Violet since I couldn't tell anyone so Anthony and his friends wouldn't find out but it was hard. I was about to walk out of the doors when a hand grabbed my shoulder. I gasped in fear when I saw Violet right beside "Jesus Violet! You scared me!" i placed a hand over my heart which started beating at a slightly faster pace. "Where are you going?" She said with a bit of attitude. "Andy and I have to do something, I'll see you at the house." I was already late and she isn't helping. "You and Andy? Well, can I help?" She asked, nearly begging. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "I don't know.." "Please?" I hesitantly nodded as we walked out the doors and into the parking lot.

I spotted Andy's car near our tree. He had one leg hoisted up behind him, placing it bent of the car while his left hand was in his leather jacket's pocket and the other was holding the cigarette that hung lazily between his lips. He took a puff and blew it out after inhaling some of the smoke. "Hello loves, ready?" Andy introduced, stomping out the cigarette underneath his boot. Violet just tilted her head while I nodded nervously.

"Violet, I just need you to stay out of the way okay? Please." She nodded in confusion but followed us silently. Violet and I went under the bleachers first to find Anthony standing against the fence while the others were sitting on the ground. "Uh oh, looks like we got trouble." Brady remarked, acting as if he was intimidated. "I'm really starting to question your denial Star, you keep running away, but you always run back. You like playing hard to get don't you?" He said with a smug look on his face, claiming the cigarette from Brady and breathed it in. He blew the smoke in my face as I quickly swatted it away.

"What're we doing here?" Violet whispered. "And you brought a whore." He remarked, clicking his tongue before taking another breathe of the cigarette looking thing. "I want me phone back Brady. Now." I snarled, ignoring Anthony. "Don't have it, Princess." He chuckled. "Bullshit! Violet saw it in your front fucking pocket this morning. Give it to me!" I yelled, standing my ground. "Hmmm....I would give it to you baby girl, but your pussy of a boyfriend is here. I don't think he'd want to see that." He whispered the last part in my ear, patting my cheek before backing up. I heard a low growl come from Andy behind me but ignored it.

I sighed in frustration. "Brady. Please for FUCK sake give me my phone." I tried to be patient to avoid any yelling or arguments but he was pushing me. "You want it? Come get it baby." I groaned in disgust and crossed my arms. And here it was. "Just fucking give it to me assholes!! YOU are the fucking pussies. I DONT KNOW WHY YOU GUYS ARE OBSESSED WITH FUCKING MESSING WITH ME BUT STOP! GIVE IT BACK AND LEAVE ME ALONE! I DONT WANT TO FUCK EITHER OF YOU NASTY ASS DICKS SO LEAVE IT ALONE!" Violet and the others looked at me with eyes wide open when I felt a fist connect with my cheek. "Hold your fucking tongue bitch!" Anthony snapped.

I held my burning cheek with both of my hands while Violet watched intently as Andy plowed his fist into Anthony's face. Anthony stumbled back but caught himself. Violet instinctively pulled on Andy, stopping his movements. "You fucking son of a BITCH, I told you not to fucking touch her!!" Andy boomed, clenching his fists once again. He spit blood from his mouth and opened his mouth to speak.

"You mean, touch like I did the other day? My hands roamed her body as she helplessly stood against the fence. Or when I nearly fucked her right the-" there was no holding him back now. Andy lunged himself at Anthony, throwing both of them to the ground. Violet stood there, eyes wide open and staring at me. I ran over and grabbed my phone from Brady's pocket while his eyes were locked on the guys fighting.

One hit, two hits, three hits, four, I lost count before his hands connected with Anthony's throat. "You motherfucker!!" Andy screamed, choking Anthony. The others tried to pry him off but no such luck. "What is that?" I heard a preppy voice coming this way. "Fuck! A cheerleader! Andy we gotta go!!" I screeched. I yanked him off of a purple faced Anthony and dragged him over to me.

We sprinted to the car while they were helping Anthony from the ground. I looked in the re-view mirror and saw Anthony eyeing Andy's car, as if glares could kill. Andy's palms clenched onto the steering wheel while his breathing was pacing at uneven speeds. "Star, I'm coming with you. I'm not leaving you with him like this." She whispered so only I'd hear. "He wouldn't hurt me Violet." I reassured. "Well either way, if I go back in there, I'll be questioned. No way!" I nodded and faved towards my steaming boyfriend.

"Andy..." I calmly said, placing my hand gently on his shoulder. His head flickered towards me and his eyes were a dark blue. "I could've fucking killed him!" He growled, breathing unhealthy out of his nose. "I know, I know baby. I need you to calm down. Take us home Andy, please." I begged, knowing he would if he saw how desperate I was to get out of here. He took a deep breathe and put the car in drive. Violet sighed in relief and slumped back in the seat.

As we got home, Andy and I ran up to his room and closed the door. I leaned against it and watched as Andy pulled the shirt over his head, making his hair messier than usual. I hummed in enjoyment but quickly shut up. He smirked and went into the closet. I sighed as he playfully shut the door, keeping me from eyeing his body anymore and resumed to removing my own. I tugged at my shirt and attempted to pull it over my head when it got stuck in my hair. "Andy...help." I sighed in defeat as I heard him laugh at my failure. He helped me get it unstuck and threw it in the hamper. I unbuttoned my shorts and shimmied my way out of them. I reached for his shirt but he tugged it back. I playfully pouted and crossed my arms. "Give it! I wannnnnt it." I begged. He laughed at my childish behavior and held it higher. I attempted to reached for it, still in just my purple undergarments when he gripped my waist and twirled me onto the bed. I giggled as he playfully jumped on it too in just his black jeans.

He kissed my forehead, then my nose, and finally my lips. I smiled into the kiss when I felt his hands slide down my ribcage. I looked at him mysteriously, until I felt his fingers digging into my sides. I squealed in laughter as he got on top of me and tickled my belly and sides. "S-stop!" I breathed out, fighting and kicking his movements. I howled with laughter as he continued to torturously tickle me. "A-ndreww please s-STOP!" He finally stopped tickling me and plopped down, now fully lying on me. "Andyyyy your heavy!" I playfully whined, running my hands through his hair while his head lay on my beating chest. He wrapped his arms protectively around me, holding me in place.

"Star can I..." Violet walked in, eyes widening. "Never mind..." She slowly walked out after yelling one more thing. "Get it Star!!!" She ran out as I threw a pillow at her. "Shut it Loud mouth!" I screamed and slammed back down onto the bed. I heard Andy chuckle before leaning up on his elbows, with a smirk on his face. "What?" I asked him, before he gently touched his lips to my bare stomach. He planted little kisses all over until he gently placed a kiss on the lining of my hips and dragged himself back up to my lips, kissing me passionately.

I pulled on one of his shirts with yoga shorts underneath. We walked down the stairs and sat on the love seats in the living room. "It's about time! We've been listening to Star yelling your name forever now!" Ashley shook his head and laughed after his remark. "Shut up Purdy! I'm ticklish!" I stuck my tongue out at him which he did right back at me. "Ugh! Guys shut it! I'm watching a movie!" Violet snapped before latching her eyes onto the tv once again.

I felt my eyes start to heavy as Andy calmly drew circles on my arm with his fingers which caused me to fall into a deep sleep. "I love you Star." He kissed the top of my head and I smiled to myself. He's definitely the one for me.
