~Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness~

Star's P.O.V.~

"Star...Star baby....wake upppp" I heard Andy's voice wake me from my sleep as I absent-mindedly pushed his face away and curled up to my pillow. I heard a deep chuckle as he ripped the covers of me, letting the breeze of the morning flow to my skin giving me goosebumps. "Annnndy. Go awayy!" I groaned, turning to my other side. He sighed and I felt his hands slide up my tank top. My eyes shot open as he began viciously tickling my sides, making my groans of sleep turn into painful laughter. "Stop A-ndy! I can't br-breathe!" He laughed and let his fingers relax on my sides while putting his head on my chest. "Jerk." I mumbled, he laughed again before placing a kiss on my cheek. "Come on angel, you have school today."

I pulled on a pair of fishnet tights under my ripped black leggings and one of Andy's black shirts with a spiral of faded greys running up the right side. I let my hand slide, giving each eye a wing and brushed my teeth. "Ready? I'm driving you to school today." Andy yelled. "What about Violet?" I asked, slipping on my black combat boots. "Uhm, judging by what her and Ashley were doing last night, I'm not sure she could stand if her life depended on it." He smirked and shook his head. I scrunched my nose and walked out of the house behind Andy, climbing into the passenger seat.

"So how was yesterday?" Andy kept his eyes on the road. "Uh, actually, it wasn't that bad. He was...decent for once. We went to Sunshine Smoothie's and the park." I answered, turning down the radio. "anything else?" I took a deep breathe. "Ronnie was at the park. I'm not sure why. But he started drinking again." Andy gave me a look of concern as he stopped at the red light. "Did he hurt you?" I bit my lip. "Not physically. But you know Ronnie when he's drunk...he started talking about how I was acting like a slut and stuff. I..uhm...I ended up slapping him." Andy raised his right eyebrow, showing interest. "Why?" "He accused you of abusing me." I saw Andy visibly tense up as he squeezed his steering wheel. "Excuse me?" He snarled, heavy breathes escaping his lips. "He...uhm...he saw my neck and he accused you of h-hurting me." I stuttered, I didn't do well under pressure. Andy rolled his eyes. "Did you tell him that I didn't?" I nodded and fiddled with my black painted thumbs. "Yeah, then he asked if I was gonna slut around like I did with you and h-yeah. That's when I saw that he was drunk." Andy raised his brow once again, pressing the gas to a medium speed. "Slut around? How's being with me slutting around?" I saw he was turning into the school's parking lot. Using that to my advantage, I changed the subject.

"We're here. I love you so much, thank you for dropping me off. Bye Andy." I kissed his lips and flung the door open, breathing in the fresh air and out the tension. I heard him mumble an "I love you" before driving out of the lot.

33-07-25 was spun into my lock; clicking it open, I pulled out my book we have to read for Language Arts, my math homework, and a notebook and closed my locker, but not before turning around to see a pissed off Britney standing behind me. I leaned against my locker and huddled my materials to my side. "Can I help you?" I asked, staring into her eyes. "You've been causing me a lot more problems than you use to. Who the hell taught you to try to be strong?" She snickered. Before I could question, I felt a hand rip through my hair, making me drop my things to clutch onto the hand.

I looked up to see Terrance, Britney's new "boyfriend", holding my blonde hair as a smug smirk was on his face. I let out a yelp as he pulled harder, making my nails dig into his hand. Britney straitened out her teal dress before walking directly in front of me. "What the hell made you think you could even try to be friends with him? Are you that much of a whore you need more than one boyfriend? Let's see, Andrew, Ronnie, and now Anthony? You're pathetic." She spat. I put my shad to the side, curious on how she knows about Ronnie. "People talk Star. They've seen you and Ronnie together. Poor Ronnie. You broke his little drunken heart. It would really suck if someone had told you're dirty little secret to Andrew, wouldn't it?" I glared at her, trying to pull myself from his grip. "You're black mailing me? Again? I thought we were over these immature games."

"More like...a trade. You get your secret safe and sound. And I....well..." "Well what?!" I asked impatiently. "I want Andy." Terrance let go of my hair and faced her. "What?" He asked, surprised and hurt. "I'll still have you baby, don't worry. But having Andy will make her miserable. That's what we want." He nodded slowly and gripped my arm, keeping me from moving. "Andy? No. No way. I'm so not fucking giving him up." She pursed her lips and glared. "well. You can even give him up to someone who deserves him, or have him hate you for what you and Ronnie have done." I thought about it. "all I've ever done is kissed him." She smiled. "He doesn't have to know that. For all you know, he could've fucked you so hard you could barely remember Andy's name." She chuckled. I stared at her, horrified. "He wouldn't believe you." I spat, ripping my arm from his grip.

She pulled out an envelope from her designer purse and handed it out to me. "Ah, but what if there's proof?" I hesitantly grabbed the envelope from her hands and tore it open, seeing pictures of a black haired male and a girl in bed; the girl being a perfectly photoshopped picture of me. I stood there horror, to sick to even think about tearing apart the fake photos. She snatched from my hands and shoved them back in her bag. "I'll give you by Friday to decided. Otherwise, I decide for you." And with that, she and Terrance walked away. I leaned against the locker and let the tears flow down my pale cheeks.

I had to get those pictures.

I had to tell Andy the truth.

He had to believe me.

The bell rang, and soon teens were scurried through the halls, breaking me from my painful thoughts. I swing my gym straps onto my shoulder and make my way to the locker room. Sunni ran over to me in just short shorts and a string tank top as pulled my Tshirt over my basic black bra. "Walk with me on the track?" I nod and pull up my shorts.

After one lap around the track in the beating sun, Sunni and I walked around the track. "What's up?" I ask, keeping up with her pace. "I wanted to talk to you about...everything. I overheard Britney talking to you today. I guess I was just hoping you'd trust me enough to talk to me about everything that's going on?" I kept my eyes to the ground. "Hey, you can trust me.." She reassured in a calming voice. "Okay...but it'll take all period" she nodded as we snuck behind the bleachers and sat down on the grass.

"Andy and I had gotten into a fight because he had gotten drunk and cheated on me with some girl. I over reacted and moved in with Ronnie. I was upset. Ronnie wanted to become a thing, but I turned him down. Ronnie and Andy got into several fights, one of them giving me a concussion from falling. I made a mistake....I kissed Ronnie. Even though Andy cheating on me is what got us into that mess. I'm a terrible person Sunni." I cried, holding my arms but avoiding the fingertip shaped bruises from Terrance. I felt arms wrap around me as I saw Sunni hugging me. "Have you told Andy about you and Ronnie?" I shook my head. "You have to Star, because a certain girl would love you break your world apart, and that's the perfect opportunity." I nodded "I know. Thank you Sunni. The bells about to rings, let's go back."

I changed back into my casual clothing and added a few bracelets to hide the marks. The rest of the day was slow due to Violet not being here, but soon enough, I was walking home from school with Kellin Quinn singing in my ears.

I unlocked the door to see Violet curled up on the couch watching Jake and Jinxx playing Xbox. "Hey, where are the others?" I ask, sitting down beside Violet. She looked up, but quickly looked back down again. The guys shared awkward gazes before looking at me. "Well? What's going on?" Jake was the one to finally break the silence. "Andy, CC and Ashley went over to Ronnie's. He said some-and I quote-business needs to be settled." He put his fingers down from quoting his words and faced me. "What? No!" I shouted before running out the door. "Star wait!" Violet screamed, running after me. I carried my feet towards Ronnie's house.

As soon as I got there, I saw Ashley's truck siting in the driveway. I ran up the porch and knocked-no answer. That is, until I heard shouting from the yard. I walked over there and saw Ashley, CC, Jacky, and Ryan fighting over something. But no Andy or Ronnie. I opened the fence and looked farther in. Ronnie had Andy pinned to the ground, hitting him repeatedly. Andy pushed his hand up and hit Ronnie in his nose. I stood in fear at the brutal brawl against the boys. I slowly approached and stayed out of sight. Ashley's face was beating red, and before anyone could register, he punched Jacky straight in the jaw. I screamed and ran up to them, blocking his next blow to Jacky.

He stopped and stared at me, the four boys turning white as they saw me. "Star-""Stop! What the hell?!" I screamed, making Ronnie's head turn to my voice. Andy took the advantage and headbutted him, knocking his to the ground. Andy stood up and shook the dirt from his pants. His face was bruised and his lip was busted opened. Ronnie's eyes landed on me. Andy started walking towards me but I backed away, to be honest, the whole thing startled me. Jacky was cradling his jaw as his eyes sent bullets to Ashley.

"What the fuck is going on?!" I shouted again, feeling my face heat up. "I...uhm...well I just....Ronnie deserves it." Andy spat out, earning a hard glare from Ronnie, who was surprisingly sober, or if he wasn't, he was now. "Deserves it?! No one deserves that! I know! I've spent years in high school getting Beat on. Why the fuck are you here?" I grabbed the back of my neck and leaned up to stare at the sky. CC looked down, ashamed while Ashley stood there with a look of sympathy and sorry. "Any explanations? Or are you just going to stand there?" I asked crossing my arms. Andy looked up at me after wiping his bloody mouth.

"I came over before you came home. Just to talk...Ronnie here made it so damn difficult so we ended up fighting." -Andy "Oh I made it difficult?! You came over and started yelling at me!" -Ronnie "yes you made it difficult! You could've just answered my questions!" -Andy "It's kind of hard when you won't stop ye-" "SHUT UP! Okay! I don't care! Andy, CC, and Ashley. Go the fuck home. I'll be there soon." Andy scowled at the option but left without another word, followed by the others, but not before CC turned around. "How will you get home?" I sighed. "I'll find a way."

I turned back to Ronnie and walked right passed him and into the house. "Star..." I ignored his voice and found myself in my bedroom. I grabbed my suitcase and instantly started ripping my clothes from the closet hangers. A hand grabbed my wrist and turned me around. "Star, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said, I was drunk, you know how I get" Ronnie said with a pained voice. "Yeah, but what I don't understand is why you started drinking again. You were sober for years Ronnie. What happened?" He closed his eyes and sat back on my unmade bed.

"Knowing that no matter what I do, I'll never have the one person who I love the most. I'll never know how it feels to love someone and show them the way he gets to. I love you Star, but knowing that I'll never have you, it was to much. I'm sorry I started drinking. But what's the point if the only one who keeps me living isn't with me?" My heart ached for him. "Ronnie I'm sorry. I don't know what you want me to say. I love you, so much, but you're my friend. You're like my older brother." He looked away. "AndThat's all I'll ever be." I placed my hand on his and rubbed the top with my thumb.

I stood up and walked slowly to my closet. I slid of the sleeves of my shirts from the hangers, one by one, before tossing them onto my bed. "Why're you leaving?" Ronnie asked. "Because I have to Ronnie. I don't want to do anything I may regret. And Andy and I are okay now, I have no reason to hide." Ronnie stood up and walked I front of me, towering my 5'4" body. "Tell me. How can you love someone, who rips he stars away from the moon, instead of the one who puts them up to be with the moon?" I stare at him, confused. "Why don't you love me?" He mumbled, pulling me into a hug. I lowered my eyebrows and stared at the ground.

I let a small shrug and he released me. "You don't know? How don't you know? You don't know if you don't try." He says, staring into my eyes. "R-Ronnie. I can't, you know this. I love him." His eyes grow dark and he looks even more upset. He paces back and forth until he stops to face me and walks to me. Before I could breathe another breath, he grabs the back of my neck and forcefully kisses me. I push him away but he kisses me again. "Ronnie.." He say in between our lips but he doesn't listen. He shoves his tongue through my lips as I try to push him away. Gaining my strength, I shove him away as hard as I could, making him slam into my dresser. "What is wrong with you!?" I yelled, throwing all I had into my suitcase and zipping it shut. He stands there watching me. I shove past him and walk down stares, ignoring the other's states as I slam the front door shut behind me.

As soon as I get to the end of the street, tears come pouring from my eyes. I cry far to much. "Ashley, can you pick me up?" I ask through the phone. He replies that he's on his way and will be there soon.

The car ride is silent as we drive away from Ronnie's house and towards Andy's. "You okay?" He asks, looking at me with concern. I nod slowly as silent tears stream down my cheeks. I just cheated on Andy. Again. And I couldn't even stop it. Again.

"Star?" I hear Andy's deep voice echo through the halls as I walk into the door. "Oh Star, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." He pleads, hugging me tightly. I start to sob violently as he hugs me tighter, in a protective manner. He brings me upstairs and sits me on his bed. "What's wrong baby?" I couldn't look at him. I didn't want to see the hurt in his blue eyes.
"Andy, I'm sorry." I started to cry harder while he looked at me, confused. "What happened Star?" I put my head into his chest and mumbled. "He kissed me. I tried to push him away but he wouldn't and I'm sorry." I wailed, clutching onto his misfits muscle tank. His grip on me loosened, making my heart race and tears come faster but then he tightened it again, and pulled me into his lap.

"Did you kiss him back?" He said in a calm, but stern voice. I shook my head. "Did you stop him?" I nodded. "Okay" he breathed out before slowly cuddling me in his arms and kissed my head. Even though I knew it was okay, I wouldn't stop crying. Tears just kept flowing. "Shh, baby. Your okay." He whispered. I stood up and wiped my eyes. He stared at my movements as I threw my shot over my head, Next were my leggings and tights. I walked over to him and sat on his lap. "Wh-atre you doing?" He asked heavily, staring at my nearly exposed chest. I kissed his roughly and shoved him onto his back.

"I want you. Only you. I'm done crying over stupid things. Please let show you how much I love you." I whispered the last parts in his ear, sending goosebumps over his arms. He hummed as I nearly shredded the shirt off of his body. I kissed down his chest and over his stomach, down to his hip bones before coming back up and kissing his lips. Unbuckling his belt, he reached over to grab a condom from his side table. I pulled his jeans down and hooked my fingers over his boxers and yanked them down. I slid it on slowly and teasingly, masking sure to keep his eyes on me.

I kissed his lips again as he placed his finger tips on my hips but I jumped up in front of him. He stared at me as I slowly reached back to my bra and unclipped it, and tossed it over to ground. He leaned on his elbows as he inspected me intently. I hooked my thumbs into the fabric and pulled them down slightly, uncovering my hip bones. I saw his chest rising. I shimmied out of them and kicked them over to my other clothes. I crawled up to Andy as straddled his lap, gently pressing myself against his length. "Star, your killing me." He groaned, throwing his head back as I sucked and bit his neck.

I lowered myself onto him as he held tightly onto my hips. Throwing my head back, I let out a long moan from feeling him deeper inside. My nails scraped along his chest as I carefully slid my hips against his, I screeched as he thrusted his hips up, pushing himself farther inside of me. He did it repeatedly as I grinded on him. Deep and low grunts of pleasure were escaping his lips as nearly screams were coming from mine. Soon, beads of sweat were running down each others foreheads.

"Fuck, Star, I'm done" he flipped us over and forcefully shoved back inside of me, making me scream out. I clawed his back as I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist, pulling him in farther. My back arched as he kissed my chest and I felt my insides tighten, the pleasure was nearly unbearable, and I felt my legs start to give out. I yelled out his name as I fell backwards and lay my head on the pillow. Andy rode it out until he hit his climax and pulled out, threw away the condom, and pulled me onto his chest. "Holy fuck Star, that was amazing." My already pink cheeks flushed into a deeper shade and I smiled at him innocently.

We lay there on each other's arms, fully bare, thinking about where we go from here. Do we forget about Ronnie? Do I tell him about Britney's blackmail? Is Andy truly forgiving me for Ronnie and I? So many questions were left unanswered but before I could tell him I love him, soft snores were let out of his perfectly shaped lips, and the moonlight was twinkling brightly against his lip and nostril ring.

"Goodnight Andrew. You leave me breathless in every way possible." I kissed his temple and curled up into his warm embrace, letting sleep take over.
