~Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness~

Andy's P.O.V.~
On my way to pick up Sunni from school, I looked around the field where I once watched the guys play football while I hid behind the bleachers with my friends usually just hanging out and smoking. I haven't step foot near this school since I had graduated. I looked over to see Sunni running towards my black, two door car, hand in hand with a girl with neon purple hair and pink streaks throughout the front.

"Hey baby! I want you to meet my friend. Andrew, this is Violet. Violet, this is my boyfriend, Andrew." I waved to Violet as I held open the door for the girls to get in. "What do you want to do?" I asked as I drove away from the school lot. "Wellll, there is another friend of mine I want you to meet. That okay?" "Okay. Where at?" "Valley Plaza Mall. Pleassseee." She begged, giving me her little puppy dogs eyes. I headed towards the mall and listened to girly music on the way. Hooray for me. Not.

We found a spot in the parking lot as I put my car in park and got out to open the door for Sunni and Violet. I followed them into the mall, up the escalators, and into Hot Topic. In there, there was music blasting and colorful lights everywhere.

As soon as I let go of her hand, the girls both sprinted towards a girl with crimson colored hair and a red and black checkered dress with converse. She shrieked as they tackled onto her back as I stood there, awkwardly, with my hands shove in my pockets.

"Hey Star! I wanted to officially introduce you and Andrew." Star? Wait a minute...is that? That locket, I remember it. But why? "Andy?" I heard her soft voice as she walked past Violet to stand directly in front of me. I stared at her for a moment until she excitedly repeated.. "Andy? Oh my God! Andy! It's you!!" That's when I realized who exactly she was. And automatically, I remembered who we use to be.

She use to have glasses and brown short hair. Now, she grew into her body shape, got rid of her glasses, and dyed her hair really red. I looked over to see Violet giving us the weirdest look while Sunni ran over to find some new jewelry. "Violet, can I, talk to you in the back for a moment please?" I heard her ask as she took her best friend's hand and walked towards the back, leaving me alone to listen to Sunni talking about necklaces.

Star's P.O.V.~
"Violet, can I, talk to you in the back for a moment please?" She nodded as I took her hand and led the way to the door that said "Employees Only" but I needed to talk to her.

"Okay..." I started. "You know how a couple weeks ago when you and Sunni were going through my diary from eighth grade?" I asked as she just sorta looked at me and nodded her head. "Well, you guys asked who Andy was. That's the thing, Andrew, Sunni's 'boyfriend', and Andy, my Middle School crush and best friend." She gasped and her face went from surprised, to something that I can't read.

"ANDY'S YOUR LONG LOST CRUSH?!" she screamed as I held my hand over her mouth to shut her up. I heard a deep chuckle so I knew he heard her. I made her promise not tell a soul. "Violet, you need to promise not to tell anyone. Okay? I still don't know what I'm going to do" "Okay Star. I promise."

By the time we went back out there, I put Sunni's things in a bag for her to take and gave her a discount. "I gotta go back to my house to get ready for fuckhead to come over for the project." I say as I grab my bag and phone from the counter. "Fuckhead?" Andy asks. "Oh, yeah, Anthony. He's a big pervert who thinks he can get in any girls pants." I explain as I hug Violet and Sunni goodbye and wave to Andy. "We'll stop by later okay?" Says Sunni as I walk away.

When I finally get home, it' 6:55 so he should be here any minute.

*ten minutes later*

I finally hear a knock on my door. I go over and unlatch the door locks as he invites himself in. This was going to be a long night. "Hey sexy." He greeted me as he planted himself upon my bed. "I'll be right back. Don't...touch anything." I scold him as I walk away into the bathroom.

I came back to him snooping through my drawers, until I catch him holding one of my purple, lace bras. I run over and snatch it from his hand. "What the fuck are you doing?!" I angrily asked. He just laughed and walked back to the bed. We started working on our project. Well, I did. He just sat there staring at the ceiling on my bed.

It was 9:30 by the time I was done so I told him he should get going. We walked over to my bedroom door. I opened it, but it was quickly slammed shut by Anthony. "What the hell are you doing Anthony? YOU need to go home." I say before he spins me around and pushes me up against the wall besides my door. I try to push him way but he takes both of my arms and slams them up above me head. "FUCK OFF" I spat as he just laughed in my face then grips my chin, tilting my head up to look at him. He leaned him closer into my ear and whispered, "You know Star, you are the only girl I know, that is still a virgin at the age of 17. I could easily change that." "Don't. Touch. Me." I say as he scowls at my decline. He stood directly infront of me, closing me in between himself and the cold, gray walls. I gasp as he slides his large hands under my dress attempting to pull it up. I push his hand away until he slams me back into the wall. "I always liked a girl who plays hard to get." He smirked, licking his chapped lips. He threw me onto the ground as I accidently landed on my right shoulder blade. I managed to turn around so I was on my back, but when I try to stand up, I feel weight onto my hips as he holds them down in between his legs. "GET OFF ASSHOLE!" I scream as he grabs the back of my neck and plants his lips upon my own. I push him away but he holds me back and pulls the bottom of my dress up, revealing my black laced underwear. I scream at the top of my lungs until he here my name being called by, who I believe was, Violet? I try to scream again when his hand covers my mouth to get me to shut up but I still managed to make noise come out. I hear someone call for Andy, a couple seconds later I hear slamming upon my bedroom door.

Anthony still attempts to continue, only to be ripped off of me by strong hands. I slide back up against the wall, while Violet runs over to grab some tissues to wipe up my tear-stained face. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" I hear Andy shout, as Anthony pushes him back into the wall attempting to punch him in the gut but fails when Andy raises his fist and knocks Anthony down to the ground with one punch, giving him a bloody mouth and nose.

Andy grabs him and throws him outside of my house and screams at him to stay away from all three of us. I stand to my feet, pulling my dress back down and continue to wipe of the makeup that was previously running down my cheeks. I walk past them both and run towards Andy, giving him the biggest hug I could, not letting go. He hugs me back tightly as i whisper a 'thank you'.

"Do you want us to stay tonight?" Sunni kindly asks. "All three of you?" I question, "Well, yeah, if that's okay." I smile and tell her of course it is. They all grab their stuff from Violet, and Andy's car, bringing it up to my room. We sit down and pick a movie to watch. "What about...Batman?" I ask, remembering how Andy use to love it. He looks up at me, almost as if he's giving me his approval.

We still down on my bed eating popcorn and watching the movie. I wasn't honestly watching it though. I was busy staring at Andy. My old best friend. My old crush. And lastly, my hero.
