I'd Be Happier Alone
All Your Hate (First Day Of School
Aimee-Rose Nightshade's POV:
(Alarm: 5:30am)
"Oh Man....." I said to myself as I woke up and switched of my Alarm clock, Ashley was up next door, I can hear him singing in the shower, I don't do that, I only sing if I have music on my timetable..... so I went to shower, and washed my hair using colour protect shampoo, knowing my hair was colour treated black recently, And then conditioned it, and then got out of the shower, and Had to dry my hair, straighten it out, and with my current hairstyle in, I used some dry shampoo and elnet Hairspray to hold my hair in place, and chose out my Victorian Gothic Empire casual dress to wear for school, which I adore, I am a studious one. It looks like Ashley is out of his shower and doing the same, but my haircare routine is more vigourous than his, he washes his, comes out, blow-dries it, straightens his hair and teases it and fluffs it out. He gets dressed as I Put my make-up on, he puts his eyeliner on, and went to meet up with his friends at their houses and caught the school bus, oh, I am not far from my new school, I live just 5-10 minutes away from the school. So after I eaten breakfast, I went to school. then a headache comes on, this headache is not a tension one or migraine, mind you, This triggers another flashback.
At my old high school in Denver, I was crying because of my "So-called Friends" Beating me up, I was crying, Luckily, Ashley Purdy Rescued me, he made this promise through the ring on my middle right ring finger, that he'd be there for me no matter what, those kids kicked and beaten me far too many times that I can remember, I was crying, I was so much in pain, I had to be sent home. why does this happen to me? Then this Senior Jock girl, gives me a wedgie, causing Ashley to punch her, telling her "What The Fuck! You can't give my best friend a wedgie like that, get the fuck out of my way!" He carries me to the nurse, and she told him to send me to the hospital 3 blocks down from the school, as my injuries included 6 bruised ribs, 2 broken ribs, burst lip and a very nasty cut on my right side, man, it was a fucker of a gusher! Ow, talk about adding insult to injury too, They also called me names like "Emo" or "Kitten Killer" this made me cry worse, mind you. if it were not for Ashley, I would have been fucking 6 feet under by now.
I came Back to reality, and as I reached the school gates, the fucking tears were like flowing because of that damned flashback I had, but on my plus side, though, as I went through the gates of my new high school, I noticed my friend with 4 other outcasts, and I feel like I would try my best to smile but not speak, I was like a silent phantom, Ashley waves me over, but I could not Let them see me like this. Andy notices me in tears, whilst going to get my Timetable for the senior semester, from the principal's office. Andy then Asks Ashley.... "Ashley, Who is that, the silent young girl in tears, who just walked by us without saying hello, but gave us all a Wave, as she walked by us?" Ashley replies, "Oh, Her? My Friend from Colorado, she moved here last week, away from awful family issues, she's quite introverted, but she's a good girl to be around, as a friend, once she gets to know ya, Andy, She just needs to get the school map and her timetable. You said she was crying on the way in here? She must have had a flashback..... my poor friend, she has issues, Andy, I will explain later." I heard My Friend, Say as I went to the Principal's office for my School Map And Timetable.
Andy Biersack's POV:
I saw a pretty young 18 year old Girl, dressed like us, an Outcast, but with a hint of Macabre Victorian Charm And Mystique about her. I Saw she was crying on the way into the school, but I don't know why she's crying or why she is upset, and I asked Ashley, my close friend, "Who is that girl, walking quietly past us in tears, Ashley?" I asked Ashley, when A New girl dressed like a Victorian Era Goth walk by us, crying in silence. what's with her? she is quite cute, rather hot too. She seemed to be upset about something, but I could not put my finger on it. my friend Ashley Told Me, Jake and CC Her name, Jinxx Met her a week prior at her apartment, so, I want to get to know her. "Her Name's Aimee-Rose Nightshade, Boys, she is very quiet because of her past, and she doesn't talk much unless she speaks with either me or Jinxx, but when she opens up to you 3, she'll be ok around us all. she's used to me already, though." Ashley Explains, and I was quite sad that she avoided me when I winked at her in the final week of vacation. I feel tears coming on, And I knew I had to get her to speak, and break out of her shell..... maybe a PS2 Night at her place would be a great place to begin.... I see her on her way out of the school again, she had her map and timetable, and she made her way to Jinxx and Ashley...... What. The. Fuck? Oh Yeah, I forgot she can only speak to them for the time being.... So I look at my timetable, then She follows my action. I had History, She Had it too. so we walk her to class, but she never spoke to us, except she spoke softly and kinda quietly to Ashley or Jinxx, that Was Just her way of saying that she is used to them. So we All Escorted her to 3rd floor period 1 history.
The History teacher let us introduce Aimee, She quietly waved at her classmates, and they all giggle and started their shit on her, all except 1, Gerard, when he seen Aimee getting shit from her classmates, he was Like "Hey, She's new, And, so what she's an outcast, and a goth, that doesn't mean you've to give her grief already, so you know 3 of us know her already! Ashley knew her Since Freshman year in denver, I Met her when she was left for dead by her old boyfriend because of how she is, And Jinxx met her at her apartment on the second last night of vacation! Leave her the Fuck alone!" And Aimee was Like "T-thanks, Gerard, and thanks for the save in the park last year." So that's how she knows Gerard..... she knew him since Junior semester. The teacher told Aimee to sit next to Jake, but she shyly smiled at him, she knew he was kinda quiet too, and he offered to organise and neatly set her up and got her a history textbook and Jotter, and she bought out her signature black ink pen. "T-thanks.... Very much." She Quietly and timidly said to Jake. And the history lesson began. The History Teacher Mr Lundberg got down to starting the history lesson immediately. and he asked this... "Which of our Founding Presidential Forefathers said this famous saying, I can never tell a lie?" Aimee shot her hand up right away, and he selected her. and she said in a confident, yet soft Voice, answered "We all know, that when He chopped down a cherry tree, the most famous Forefather that Said "I cannot tell a lie" is George Washington, Mr Lundberg, Sir." Jinxx was impressed, and so was I, She is brainy too... so She notes it down, we all do the same, as she answered the teacher's question. Mr Lundberg replies "For our new Girl's first day, she got an important American Country Founding forefather question correct..... she must have been studying hard over summer! Well Done, Miss Nightshade." Gerard was also impressed, so he put his hand up and the teacher says to him "What is it, Young Gerard?" Gerard says to him "She has been hitting the library in the last week of the vacation, so her knowledge is up to the highest standards, she set this on herself sir." The Lesson dragged on, then the bell tolled, for period 2.
Jake Pitts' POV:
The New girl is beautiful, brainy and also quite quiet, I am amazed she answered that question in history last period quite Accurately.... I See her with Ashley, he is patting her on the shoulder for getting the question correct on the first attempt.... she looks at her timetable, and she has Music, so she heads for the ground floor, room 4b, where she practices her Instrument playing, Jinxx had music too, and she was joined by him..... Aimee is a pretty name for a girl who is a quiet introvert.... but every now and again, she'd zone out or cry when least expecting it.... something's up with her, and It's time I knew..... and got to know her. Andy was kind of unhappy about how she could just put her hand up, and answer a question in history like that on the spot, though, I think he now noticed just how her heartbreak forces her to answer questions in a whisper or just loud enough for us and the teachers to hear. I have music too, so I followed Jinxx and Aimee to the classroom, then Ashley, CC And Andy follows us.
CC's POV:
Wow! Ashley's close friend is quiet, and totally my opposite to my extroverted way, I am bubbly, yet she's quiet, she is pretty, I got her name from Ashley, but I hope she likes dark chocolate strawberry fondant heart candy, I hope to catch her and offer her one, and make an icebreaker, but knowing her, she might have problems opening up to somebody as bubbly and Wild as me..... 2 of the guys are trying to help her, Jake and Jinxx, they are as quiet as she is, although, but they are open to her and she moved here because of her past...... I saw she zoned out before history, I wondered why.... wait, she's shaking a bit, and looking down, she sounds upset, and Her tears are hitting the floor of the corridors, Ashley's not noticed, but neither has Jake or Jinxx, But, I'll help her now. she falls to her knees in tears, and took her glasses off, cries bitterly, causing me and Andy to notice..... but I told Andy not to go near her, and I went to talk to her. "Hey, Aimee..... are you alright?" Aimee looks up and answers "S-Sorry, I am not alright, T-This is making me feel disoriented a bit, You seem Friendly, Please can I get your name? I am just a shy lonely introvert, who finds making new friends a struggle at times, but I know Ashley really well." That's brave confessing she was not ok.... so I replied to her... "What's wrong, Aimee? Listen, we can discuss it at morning break, in the courtyard, if you want.... You've been crying during your violin playing, and you know you have problems, don’t be afraid or hesitate to tell me, for I am here, ok? Oh, Sorry, I'm Christian Coma, but my friends call me CC." I replied. I Helped her up, and cleaned her up, and she thanked me quietly.... "Um, Aimee, would you like one of my strawberry fondant dark chocolate heart candies? I want to be your friend....." She nods and Took one and she said to me very softly, "Thank you, Christian..... I am starting to get to like you, there's no way I am going.... to be afraid of speaking to someone..... who is my direct opposite of me, Extrovert, and I am an Introvert..... But I Am still going to Shy around your other friend...." "Andy?" I replied to her, she Nods, and she replies "I heard he can be quite bubbly too, quite full of beans himself....?" "Yup" I Noticed she is a rare girl, dark, very mysterious, her Late Victorian Gothic era clothing and Aura sets her apart from the others. I replied back, but continued, "Sure, He is full of energy, but your friend is in a band with us, and Him, We need a 6th member, a Female Singer and Violinist.... You In?" Aimee Nodded and replies "I can't until I meet Andy, but if I do meet him and make the icebreaker with him, can you try to keep him calm? I don't want to freak out in front of him because of his wild energy....." "Sure" I replied and she winks shyly, and said to me "Thank You, CC." So I replied back to her, "Shall I call him over, then, you up for meeting him and Jake, They Never introduced themselves yet, but you up for it?" Then she silently nods a "Yes”, follows that with a right-eyed wink, and I call them over.
Andy Biersack's POV:
CC Calls me and Jake over to officially introduce ourselves to Aimee face-to-face, I totally love her hot Macabre Victorian Era Gothic Style, she looks so gorgeous with her hair styled up like our bassist's Hair, but her hair is so full of life and volume, gosh..... CC Says to me "Stay Calm and don't pull off your energetic vibe to freak her out, she's new around you Andy, so be careful what you say to her..... she has been crying for a while, so be gentle with her." so I calm myself, and so that I don't freak her out and make her scream. I calmly smiled and I extend my hand and she shook it, and I calmly introduced myself to her saying.... "Hello, Aimee, I'm Andrew Biersack, but to my other friends, including your friend, Ashley Purdy, they call Me Andy. Your Make-up looks to be smudged, I am going to touch it up for you, since CC Cleaned you up.... what do you say?" It looks to me that her cries smudged her gothic eye make-up, so I calmly re-touched it all up for her. She blushes and shyly smiled at me, it's a good sign, and I smile back at her, warming her heart, and she felt all warm and fuzzy inside, around me. Then Jake also extends his hand and she shakes it as well.
Jake Pitts' POV:
So Yes, I shook the shy new girl's hand too, and Said to her, "Hi, I'm Jacob Matt Pitts, But, please call me Jake, I was impressed with you at period 1 History class, you've really set the bar high for the students here." She replied in a Soft tone, only a select few of us can understand, "Thank you, Jake, I am glad someone has noticed me, finally for who I really am, I mean you and the other guys.... I mean, CC Offered me a Heart shaped candy with strawberry fondant in it..... he was calm around me, and I never freaked out...." I smiled at her, but noticed she was blushing a little bit, It appears Ashley was right about the girl.... She is shy, yet open to a select few, and when she smiled at me, I knew that she can trust me..... But she wasn't sure about Andy, though..... she needs help, if we come to hers after school, as Ashley lived next to her, he can just access her apartment instantly. what is with that violin case of hers? It has black roses on a white gothic background.... must mean she plays a violin like Jinxx does. I am sure she is harbouring a secret only 2 out of us 5 guys knows about, I am gonna try to get her to open up. "Say, Aimee, I am going to call my mom, and ask her to let me come to yours tonight, I wish to get to know you better, I will have Ashley over too, so, you'll be alright, you won't be alone. I have something to tell you as well, I have my own secret the guys do not even know." Aimee Nods and softly replies "Sure..... I could use the company, I can also provide some musical and vocal entertainment for you as well. Bring CC, Jinxx and Andy, Cos, We'll have a Playstation 2 Star wars Head to head battle night tonight. and I'll cook dinner tonight. what do you guys say? I have some amazing meal preparation plans tonight, I am going to put them to good use." "Then It is Settled then, They've called their parents as well, so they have been given their parents' consent to come to your place tonight, Ashley Lives next door to you, so he'll come over on his terms to see you. well my mom has texted back to me saying I can spend a few good hours with you tonight, we can help each other with our homework before the playstation is even switched on, this is going to be a great night." I replied. Aimee never said anything, instead she just ultimately smiled back at me in agreement. She pulls out her cell phone and she dials an number of a familiar face from History, yes, she calls up Gerard Way. the rest of the school day went by and it was hometime at Last, so The guys and I All went back to our homes and prepared to meet Aimee at her place tonight.
Aimee-Rose Nightshade's POV:
Before I Called up Gerard, I got myself into the kitchen, and Since I loved rock music, I put my stereo in the kitchen on, put in a 80's/90's Rock Anthems Album on, and Put one track on repeat "We Built This City (On Rock And Roll)" By Starship, And on half blast so I can hear myself sing the song. Then I Called Up Gerard Way and invited him over to our night in, but with the amount of homework he was given, he said he'd be over in 3 hours after he completes his Homework, but I said to him, "come over for a Star wars Episode 3 video game fest, and dinner", he gave in, and he brings his homework with him, and us guys help him. I Decided to prepare a fancy 3-michelin starred quality meal for my guests, I Think they don't know I learn from chefs like Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver..... when I prepare a meal, I do it all from scratch, not from packets. I make all my own choux Pastries, puff pastry, Pasta Doughs and Pie crust pastry from scratch. But on tonight's main meal menu, It was Beef Wellington And Baby seasonal Vegetables Drizzled with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction and Red Wine Jeu, with a Asian 5 Spice seasoning and Oregano And Spinach garnish. With that I got to work on dinner, Oh, Shit, Oh boy, my guests are gonna love me for this! So I began to prep Dinner, As I do So, I sang Along to Starship's "We Built This City (On Rock And Roll)".
Ashley Purdy's POV:
Man, I hear my friend Singing next door, to Starship, I think our band could benefit from her vocals and Violin, That's for Sure! Not only I heard her Singing, I Hear her cooking next door, I bet it was my best friend preparing and cooking Dinner for me and my other friends and Gerard, I smelt the Smell of a simmering sauce and A Simmering red wine gravy on her stove, I think I smell Balsamic Vinegar..... she never thinks to tell me about any of her own Special Basic home skills..... I want to see how high her cooking skills are, Balsamic reduction looks level 7 to me.... It smells delicious! I wonder what she'd pair those up with, only I will get the surprise of my fucking life! She's put something in the oven, and quickly changed into her Gothic formal dress for tonight, as it is a formal dinner. I think the others are at my door, I ushered them in, I was still to put something formal on myself, then Me, Gerard, Jake, Jinxx, Andy and CC Will go to Aimee's Place as a group.
Jake Pitts' POV:
The Dinner we were invited to earlier had dress code, CC, Andy, Jinxx, Gerard and I Were all dressed in fancy suits, we headed to see if Ashley was ready, he invited us in, as he was looking to wear the most formal suit he can find in his wardrobe. he's ready and I asked him "You ready?" He replies "I am now..... I have to surprise you when we get to Aimee's place!" I was totally looking forward to an night in with Aimee, and I smell something delicious. we drew straws to see who would end up pressing the door bell of apartment 16. Can you credit it?! Andy drew the short straw! Before he rang the bell, we heard not only cooking in apartment 16, but we also heard the most beautiful singing voice coming from our hostess too, she seems to be singing to a Starship Classic Anthem, "We Built This City (On Rock And Roll)" she sounds fantastic! so Andy calmed himself, and pressed Aimee's doorbell. and she opened up her door, my eyes sparkled and my jaw dropped.... she looked so amazingly stunning tonight..... she blushes, and ushers us all in and invites us all to sit at the table, which she set with black and crimson tablecloth and napkin setting. She really had thought this all out! Dinner, Homework, and Playstation 2 Action! She knew how handle the schedule! she quietly told us "Talk Amongst yourself, while I finish the dinner for us.... it is almost ready, just need to plate it up, oh, you guys are so dapper in these suits!" we all blush in acceptance to her compliment. I Was surprised just how wonderful our young female friend is, so.... here it comes, our Dinner, it looks and smells delicious! She sat down, and smiled, And She chose Gerard, to say the blessing. She looks to be religious. so she always prayed a blessing if she has guests, but, when she eats alone, she just holds her hands in prayer for about 10 seconds and then she eats.
Ashley Purdy's POV:
I Got a shock of a lifetime when I seen our dinner. It was really well presented, and it looks to be a 3-Michellin Star restaurant quality dinner she made, I am impressed! I wonder who she learned this from! so I plucked up the courage to ask Aimee, "I love what you made for us! Who Did you learn this from, little ms. big artiste chef?" She replied softly, "I learned from the best chefs in the UK, From the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Warrall-Thompson, Gino Di'Campo, Marco-Pierre White, Heston Bloominthal and Jamie Oliver. this recipe was taken from a Gordon Ramsay cookbook." She drizzled the Balsamic Reduction on the Vegetables, and Added the Red Wine Gravy Jeu on the Beef Wellington, and then she hands the blessing to Gerard Way. Gerard's words were genuine, his blessing was, he said, "For the best things in life, lord, for what we are all about to recieve, in the finest glory of the father, the son and the holy spirit, may we all be truly thankful for this meal, amen." Aimee says to Gerard, "Thank you, Gerard, for that offering of grace to our Lord above. now let us enjoy this gracious bountiful meal." what the heck? She's religious! Andy was taken aback as well, because she was actually a religious senior, who seems to have been strictly raised as a Roman Catholic, She also made the shape of the cross, before she lifted her crockery and began eating.
Andy Biersack's POV:
The meal Aimee made is amazing quality.... I saw she's religious as well, so we had been asked to say a blessing before we ate, and I respect her religion, she looks to have been raised as a Roman Catholic, and always says a blessing before a meal. I gotta admit it, I am blushing here, Her cooking is amazing.... I have never had a meal cooked by a friend living alone in an apartment before, her chocolate eyes at times were lost in my Icy Blue eyes, she took a bite of her dinner, she was happy to have us over to do homework, have dinner and play a bit of Star Wars tonight.... But we have to watch in case she zones out, or thinks of her past again, Ashley had warned us, so we're aware of it now. When Jinxx came to hers in the last week of vacation, she ended up crying during the night of Japanese fun, Jinxx told me, CC And Jake about it, and we all felt sorry for her. "Hey, You Ok, Andy?" Aimee Asks, and I had not noticed I was crying a little, so she tried to make me feel a little more comfortable around her, but I finished my dinner, then I rushed to her bathroom, locked myself in there, slid down the door, and began sobbing. CC Was kind of shocked to see me do that in the loving presence of our hostess, I bet I fucked up a bit..... but Aimee was kind enough to ask me what was up before I ran to her toilet. "Andy!" calls CC, But it was no use, my sobs were very loud and broken, and to drown the other guys out, I put on a Sad Evanessence song on, "My Heart Is Broken" on my MP3 Player full volume, on repeat, and continued to softly cry to the song. Ashley was worried for me, that as a result, Aimee finished up her dinner, grabbed her homework, and she ends up crying too, but she goes to her own gothic bedroom and completes her homework, for English, Math and Biology. when she completed the homework, The rest of us did our homework without her. I took one earphone out of one my ears, and heard poor Aimee crying, she was even playing her Semi-Acoustic violin, in the key of E Flat minor, playing a Bach Lament, I knew I fucked up, When I went to cry in her restroom, she starts to sob too, I am such an asshole for doing that in front of our hostess. Could her schedule of fun events get worse to down the gutter?
Gerard Way's POV:
Man, Andy was such a drama king, I knew that it would end up triggering off Aimee's sadness, when someone else becomes emotional.... She's went into her room, completed her homework without us there to help her out, Now she is playing the saddest lament on her violin, a Lament by Hans Christen Bach, and she cried while playing it..... "Hey, Jinxx, Can you get in there, and comfort Aimee, she seems very out of it, very upset, you know? Why Don't you take your violin, and jam with her?" I asked Jinxx, knowing him, he would be happy to help her using his violin as a comfort measure. "Sure, But I have to have permission to enter her room, when she is upset" Jinxx replies.
Jinxx's POV:
As instructed, I made my way to Aimee's Bedroom door, and I was nervous, I asked Ashley to check in on Andy, and then I went up to Aimee's Bedroom Door, and gently knocked it. "W-Who is it?" Aimee calls from her room, and I replied "Look, Aimee, It's Jinxx, I am worried for you as it is.... Andy triggered off your tears, once he calms himself, I'll ask him to apologize. can I come in to Keep You company, and jam on violin with you?" "Sure, come on in, it's not locked, just come in, Jinxx." Aimee Callsto me in a very sad soft tone of voice. So I went in, she looked terrible, so vulnerable, her make up is all smudged because of those tears she cried, so I did the right thing, cleaned off her make-up, dried her face "Thanks, J-Jinxx" She replies, new tears escaping her sad chocolate eyes, so, I hugged her and she buried her face into my chest, letting her self cry, she said to me "I f-feel as if I lost it all, Jinxx.... I do not know how to bounce back from it all...." I knew she was tired, and she sleeps uneasily at night, she has nightmares, most of them are memories from her past. I replied "Aimee, Hush, I'm here, hush, I need you to recover.... Andy was just over-reacting, and being protective.... he's like that all the time, he never lets us down." I stroke her hair, her hair smells of Acai Berry, and it is so soft to the touch, the stroking on her hair eventually calms her down, and I rub her back soothingly. "All Better, Aimee? Want to jam?" I asked Aimee, awaiting her answer. She replies "Yeah..... Let's Jam..." So we play our violins as a duet jam session starts.
Ashley Purdy's POV:
I knocked on the bathroom door, Andy seemed to have calmed down, he got up and unlocked the door, and I went in, but he's still got tears in his eyes, and I looked him in the eyes, and said to him "What's wrong?" He answered to me softly, "I fucked up.... I wanted to know why Aimee was introverted, but I just overreacted, and I not only hurt myself emotionally and Fucked up, I Triggered Aimee off as well, I will never forgive myself, I am such an asshole, Ashley, I wish I never met her...." I was shocked and devastated to hear what he just said to me, a tear forms in my eye when he said it and I sighed sadly..... I gave my friend a chance to befriend Andy, and he plans on throwing the friendship away..... This is not good, I have to warn CC Not to tell her, or it will cause a heartbreak on Aimee, I don't want him to tell Aimee to get out his life, she could still be our 6th band member. I tired to talk him into taking back what he said, but Aimee needs him to accept her into our band.... I can hear her sing, in her bedroom, and her violin playing, she was entertaining Jinxx, He is impressed, and I need to talk Andy into apologizing to Aimee, and put her in the band, she is an amazing singer, She wrote the song she sang to Jinxx herself, the words are sad, yet heartfelt, it sounds like "Lost it all", and I am sure, we can use this song for a future album release..... she can be one of us. "I fucked up badly, Ashley, Please don't make me apologize to her, she doesn't deserve someone like me as a friend, I know she can sing, but I just dont need a 6th member to upset further..... I need one who is committed to being in a band...." Andy Whimpered, I replied "She is a Committed young woman, Just hear her sing and Play Her violin to Jinxx, you can't throw her friendship to you away, please, she does not need another heartbreak, Her past is bad enough without you leaving her in the dark, Andy, please, just hear me out, and try to make amends..... just say you're sorry to her.... she can make an excellent 6th member!" He would Not Listen to me, he opened up the bathroom door, He ran away to the park, crying. so I called up Amy, His mother. she would have to talk to him, and try to ask him to make amends with Aimee. Shit.... Aimee must never learn about this..... if he does make amends, she would let him play her Lego Batman PS2 Game..... So I reached for my Cellphone, and Dialed Mrs. Biersack, but, as I did so, I fell into a depression and started crying, myself.... how could Andy say that?! I Started to sob, as I rushed to my apartment to dial up Andy's Mother.
Andy's mom, Amy Biersack's POV:
I was sitting and watching A Program called "The OC" On Sky Atlantic, and then, my cell phone went off, It was My Son's close friend, Ashley A. Purdy on the other end of the line, he sounded terrible, it sounds as if he's crying on the other end of the line. he said to me on the Phone, in a sad tone of voice, "Mrs Biersack, I N-need to ask a favor from you.... I need you to talk to Andy...." He said To me, and I Asked him to continue. "Why?" I asked him very sympathetically, and he replied "I gave him a chance to befriend my other friend, Aimee, and he said something awful, and now, he ran out her apartment crying, and he's at the park, in the dark of night, thinking weither to keep or throw his friendship to Aimee away, I don't know what to do.... I talked to him, but he just doesn't wanna listen to me, maybe the answer is for you To speak to him...." I Clasped my hand over my mouth in shock, as I hear Ashley Break down into More tears.... and said to him "You have asked the right person, you did the right thing.... I will speak to Andrew, and see if he can listen to me." he thanked me, and hung up politely, and I put on my shoes, and walked to the California Central Park, where I saw my son, crying on the bench, I was not pleased...... so I gently tapped my son's shoulder, and he looks up, and I say to him.... "Andy..... my son, come home with me, I have your schoolbag, so you're ok, there. Oh, When We get home, I have to talk to you...." He looks at me dumbfounded, and replied "W-Why, Mom, why Do we need to talk...?" I softly replied "Andy, your friend was talking to me on the phone and asked me for a favor to speak with you, you shoulda heard how sad and terrible he sounded on the other end of the line..... he was kinda distraught...." "W-What? Ashley Was distraught? man, I guess, I should spill the truth, when we get home.... I feel so stupid right now...." "Why, Andrew, Why Are you saying that, son?" I asked, and he replied. "I kinda upset his old friend, Aimee-Rose Nightshade at Dinner, I thought that would ruin and tatter my friendship with her..... I said to Him, That I wished I never met her mom, I was stupid to say that....." With that, my son starts violently crying again, and I had to carry him home, I wasn't buying any of this, so I had got him to his room, and I continued to speak to him. "I made her cry when she saw me crying, but she kindly asked me what was up, I was kinda sad that I forgot to ask her to tell me why she was an Introvert, and I like the girl, I wished to have never said I wish I never met her, that's why, mom" My Son Whimpers, and I said to him "You have not messed this up, Andy, baby, it was a mistake that you said this, to upset Both Aimee And Ashley, and my advice to you, is speak to them at lunch break tommorow, son, and make amends and strengthen your friendship with them..... but apologize to Aimee especially, she was your hostess tonight. if this works out, I can arrange for you to go and have an overnight stay with her.... ok?" "Ok, M-Mom" Andy Whimpered softly, and I left him to cry and calm down. I wrote an Note and left it on Ashley's apartment door, and I left to check on Andy, My Poor angelic son. he is so upset, very vulnerable right now.....
Andy Biersack's POV:
After the talk with my mom, I repented, and calmed down the best I could, and I could not believe what she said about How Distraught my good friend, Ashley was.... and how..... upset Aimee was...... I heard her playing her violin in a sad lament tone.... I made the mistake to upset her at dinner, My Mom is always right..... It's time I apologized to Ashley first, then Aimee..... but I'll phone Ashley to check in on him, and speak to Aimee face-to-face tomorow At school.... Aimee may find it comforting to talk to me after a fair sincere apology from me..... I am still crying though..... I reached for my Cellphone, and Dialed Ashley's number, and he picks up, and I Said "Ashley, are you Alright?" Ashley wiped a tear on the other line and sniffled, he replies, "Not after what you said to me about wanting to...... leave Aimee and wishing you'd never met her. Jinxx is still at her place, trying to calm her down...." as he cried as he said it..... His words wrenched at my heartstrings. and said to him, "Look, My Mom spoke to me, and said I never fucked up, I just made a simple, but huge mistake saying that..... and suggested to apologize to the two of you..... I heard CC Was upset too, that he took his stuff and went home to his room in tears, and so did Jake, and Aimee is playing her violin still, and has "Livin On A Prayer" softly playing In Her Room Across the hall, I think I have really done it, I Owe her a big sincere apology tomorrow, Ashley, If I make amends with the 2 of you, My Mom's gonna try let Me And Aimee have a sleep over, if it works..... I also heard Gerard went home and curled up into a ball in fear right?" Ashley replies "Yes, they went home in different reactions, because of this, Andy..... I was hurt the most, though..... Aimee was hit by it too, she was only trying to help you...." I replied "About saying that, I am so sorry.... I owe Aimee and the others an apology too, I guess..... Please forgive me, Ashley, I cannot stand the thought of you, Aimee and the others leaving me, and leaving my dreams of being in a band with you guys in tatters, I Want Aimee in our band, you're right, she is a talented girl and she deserves this chance to be in a band....." I trailed off, crying again, Ashley calms down, and his tears stop, and then he says "I will forgive you, Pal, don't cry, You sound so very terrible, crying like that, I'll come over...." He said to me, and He hung up. So He comes to my apartment, and rung the bell, and My Mom opened up to him and said, "come on in, Ashley, Just go up", so he did, and he knocked on my bedroom door, He heard "Untitled" By Simple Plan playing in the background, and saw me in a horrible state, crying, and vulnerable curled up on my bed.
Ashley Purdy's POV:
When I went to see Andy, boy, he was looking awful, I was feeling sorry for him, and he looked at me and launched himself in my arms, and I embraced him, as warm fresh tears trickled down his cheeks, landing on my neck, I was totally wanting to tell everything to Andy about Aimee, so I knew the time was right to tell him, but he wasn't up to hear me out about Aimee, he kept saying "K-Kill me, Ashley, I don't belong here...." to me and I lightly slapped him, and that bought him to his senses, and I said to him, "Don't say that, you do belong here.... Aimee said that to Jinxx during Vacation, and He snapped her out of that, and she doesn't want her past to haunt her, she wanted a new start, friends, and school to be of no drama...." "H-Her Past?! Tell me more...." Andy Whimpered, and I hugged him in sympathy, and Said to him, "Calm Down, Want a drink, Ice cream? When you calm down through a drink or some ice cream, I can explain the hard life Aimee Lead up until she met you and the other guys." "I just want a drink of strong coffee, Ashley....." Andy Politely said, so I called Amy to send up 2 hot mugs of strong coffee to Andy's room, and Also some Ice cream for us too, and she did so, and we took our coffee and Ice cream, and we ate our Ice cream, Andy was begining to settle again, so we finished up our ice cream, and held our mugs of coffee. "Andy, I know why Aimee is a very quiet young introvert, She was abused, beaten and neglected, left by her Stepmom to fend for herself." Andy clasped his hand on his mouth, and replied "Oh No! That's why she moved here, right?" "Yes, Even her stepmom forced her to study, and go to violin lessons, her studies were on a tight strict schedule, she could not play her PS2, Or hang out with me until it was done. she could not stand living that way." Andy was hearing me out, About Aimee's sad life in her past, why she held her own at school, and he asked me something personal about her. "Hey, I need to understand her sexual orientation, Ashley, I understand that only you and Jinxx knows of it, do you?" I nod and Replied "Andy, are you prepared to hear me out on this one, her last boyfriend dumped her and beat her up, the moment she told him her orientation...... she's Bisexual, Andy..... do not judge her, pal, she doesn't need her heart broken if you don't like her that way." "I won't Ashley, I am ok with it, you know, her being Bi, Ashley, trust me. one of our other friends is the same. Hey, We should Get Jake to tell Aimee." Andy replies. So He texts Jake, and Jake Goes to Aimee's to talk with her, and sent Jinxx, to hang with us.
Jake Pitts' POV:
Andy texted me, And asked me to go and talk to Aimee, He never knew I was the same Orientation sexually as Aimee, how does he know? But I went to see and speak with Aimee, and she told me to come in, she still looked awful from earlier, but I noticed she was sitting on her recliner, eating candy, and preparing to put in "Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace" to watch on her own, I love that movie saga! a classic, If I do say so myself. I asked Her "Can I sit with you and watch Star Wars?" She replies "Sure, Jake.... I trust you, I Could use the company, besides, Eating Sour Skittles Candy and Watching The Star Wars Saga alone is boring, I would have more fun, if I were doing that with you, If you love Star Wars As Much as me." I smiled and sat down on her loveseat, man it's comfortable! I said to her "Play the Movie feature! I cannot wait!" So Before she put the film on, she uses her remote to close her curtains, and presses the play button, and the movie began to play. but she let the ads play, so, during the ads, I asked her to talk to me. "Aimee, Can you speak to me, I have to tell you something..... before the movie starts." "Sure tell me anything you want, also, I want to reveal my sex orientation to you." Aimee replies to me and I said to her "That's what I want you to know about me too. Ladies first, Aimee." She replied "Ok, I know this will be a shock to you, Jakey, but, I am Bi." "It's no shock, really, I am alright with it, I am bi as well, Aimee, you're not Alone." I replied softly. so she smiled, and realised she now has a new Best friend in me, who is Bisexual as well. The movie begins to play, and with her TV's amazing clarity, the sounds of Star Wars made it so real... amazing.... So She offers me a bowl of Sour Skittles, and we watch the Star Wars Saga, My Dad Called me, and told me to spend the night with Aimee, to stop her from having an uneasy night's rest.
Next Day- Andy Biersack's Point Of View
I Went to school, In a very nervous way, and saw Jake was now with Aimee, Ashley And Jinxx, She seems to be still the introverted personality she always was, only capable to talk with friends she can trust with her secret. I now know of her dark and saddening past, courtesy of Ashley, and I can now hope to try and make amends before Homeroom, today. Ok, Here I go. She waves at me, and sadly smiles at me, I know this is going to get me nowhere, of course... but I have to trust my mom's advice, And wing it. I noticed she still had a tear in her right eye, so I Calmly walk over to her, and then...... "Aimee..." I said to her in a sad tone of voice with a tear in my eye, I continue, "May I speak To you, before the homeroom registration bell goes?" She replies "Yes, you can.... Andy..... walk with me, I need to speak to you as well......" And with this, she sighed heavilly and sadly, and I noticed she was still haunted by her memories of the past, and her tears fell, and I hugged her, she accepts it.... I was already making amends, all I need to do now is to apologize. Aimee looks at me, in worry, and I let my tears fall on her, and she was getting very worried for me, she returns my hug, asks "What's wrong, Andy? Speak to me, here, let me dry these tears..... there you go..." I replied, "I upset you by accident, last night, I was a fool, I Need you in our band, You've got amazing skills to back both me and Jinxx, can you forgive me? I am so sorry, I upset you like that last night, please forgive me, the way I upset you was just uncalled for, I even upset Ashley, but He stayed with me and comforted me, and told me your sad past, and I feel for you, I really do, I cried so damned hard and I will never make the mistake like that again.... I'm Sorry....." I cried heavilly in her arms, she kept on comforting me, and then Gerard comes in, and he asks Aimee "Is he still that upset from last night?" She replied "He is.... I will accept his apology, and strengthen our friendship.... I really hate to see him cry like this......" "Gerard, I am sorry for scaring you like that" I Replied, and he gave a thumbs up to say My Apology got accepted. I already apologized to Ashley, CC And Jinxx, but Jake was already in homeroom, waiting for us all. I still haven't apologized to him yet. We got to homeroom, before the bell, and I Noticed something wasn't right, Jake is in tears, I had to make this amend, it's now or never..... We have our 6th member now... miss Nightshade. Hey, Aimee is sitting next to poor Jake, And she comforts him, and I sat on the other side of Jake, she hates to see her friends cry. "Jake" She soothingly says his name, her nature is showing, a kind comforter, who is also gentle yet still the introvert. Jake looks up to Aimee, and she continues... "I Never wanted to see you this way, I believe Andy has something to say to you....." She Said, as she dries his tears. I plucked up my courage then.... "Jake" I said, calmly, and he looked at me and I said to him.... "Jake, Can you forgive me for scaring and upsetting you, on the night I upset Aimee-Rose By Accident....?" "I forgive you, Andy, I guess we're all good now?" He Replied, and I reply to him, "Yeah, Even Aimee was taken aback but she accepted my apology too." so we all shared a group hug, and a high five, and Aimee has now decided to push out all her awful memories and that she now has friends, she can have a happier and more fun fulfilling life. My Mom's advice worked, My Mom is a hero! And She looks online, and saw her evil stepmother, arrested for child abuse and neglect, and she was sentenced to life imprisonment, Aimee breathed a sigh of relief, she is glad she moved to where we all live!
Jinxx's POV:
I am so glad Aimee moved here, she will have to eventually break out her shell, and what I have learned, Like, Jake, Andy, Ashley and CC, We, including Mr. Way, all have now found out it was her past that triggered her quiet nature, and, man, listen to that beautiful piece she is playing in music on her violin, and she is accompanied by me and, Andy on Piano, we made excellent progress, Ashley on Bass, CC On drums, and Jake On Lead guitar, and both Andy and Aimee on Vocals, it was beautiful music to our teacher's ears, and she gave us all A+s and offered us to play at the school's mid-term concert. which Aimee and Andy accepted, so Jake, CC, Ashley And I, So We're officially playing as a band, in the mid term concert! Awesome! So we have 6 weeks before mid week to come up with original material for the show.
Jake Pitts' POV:
When Aimee read about her stepmother's child neglect and abuse arrest, she finally beamed a full smile and sighs a huge sigh of relief, I hope how The Womens' State Penetentiary Prison will change her stepmother, like be a better parent, or stop her alcoholism, and then some.... Man, Look at Andy And Aimee laughing like hyenas, and writing our song material for the mid term concert! Aimee wrote 6 of 12 Original songs for Andy, and he writes the other six, and then it hits Ashley that he decided to give Aimee Her "Nightshade" Surname a stagename.... so he has opted for "Pandora".

She nods and softly replied "I will..... Hey, I got something for you, here's my old Amythyst and diamante Violin Charm, I have a new one that has my birthstone on it.... so I will transfer my violinist's energy to it, when it glows, when I sadly and play my violin when Lonesome, you know I am lonely, you should transfer some of your energy to mine, that way we're even."
