Forsaken, I Walk The Night Alone

"Hello sister dear.." Hallie grinned walking up to Vale and her friends table. It was breakfast the next day, and it was the first day of classes for the Augustina sisters.

"What do you want?" Vale asked, sighing.

"Oh nothing, just wanted to see how you were adjusting." Hallie smirked.

"Fine, you can go now.." Vale rolled her eyes.

"Vale, don't push me away." Hallie smirked. "I want to be friends."

"Since when?"

"Since now." Suddenly Vale felt someone dump food all over her. Upon further look it was eggs, cereal, someone's entire breakfast.

She whipped her head around to see Annalise, and her group of friends all laughing their asses off. Kelsey was looking at Vale in sympathy while Hallie laughed as well, holding her stomach.
Tears sprung to the tiny blonde girls eyes as she stood up from her seat and ran out of the cafeteria, catching eyes with Andy on the way out. He was the only person next to Kelsey who wasn't laughing in the whole room.

He stood up: before Kelsey or anyone. The whole cafeteria was suddenly silent as they watched him go, the bad boy chasing after the new girl.

He had seen the girls coming up behind Vale and when he saw Hallie everything started to make sense.

The plan was in action.

Obviously it didn't register with Kelsey to tell her to move but Andy would have. He would do anything for her..

Andy slowed as he heard crying coming from the girls bathroom. He sighed and pushed the big door open.

Vale was leaning on the sink, cursing herself for thinking her sister could actually be nice once. Hating herself for trusting her bitch of a roommate who had just dumped food on her.
She hadn't noticed him yet but he couldn't stop staring at her. Even with food all over her she was just beautiful. Her long black maxi skirt fit her frame nicely and her black tank and black sweater made her look even skinnier than she already was.

"What do you want? Come to laugh at me too?" She asked, looking up at him with tears falling down her cheeks. Her makeup was smeared all across her skin.

"Of course not." He said, walking to her side. "Do you think I would do that?"

"I don't know." She sighed. He reached up and wiped away some of her makeup with his thumb.

"I wouldn't." He whispered, sadly. "I can't believe they would do that to you."

"Yeah, well me neither." She shook her head as he dropped his hand. "I thought my sister was a little better than that." Andy leaned in and hugged her. His arms were tight around her skinny waist and they both swooned at the feeling.

"I'm really sorry, Vale." He said, softly.

She pulled away and sighed. "I'm going to clean myself up so.."

"I'll help you, here." He said, hating that he knew the reason this happened.
Ashley.

Annabelle has had a crush on him forever, despite always telling everyone that Andy was cute and Ashley was creepy. She would do anything for that fucker. Now Vale had to pay the price.
He turned the faucet on and slid his black sweater off, leaving him in only a white tee shirt.

"You can wear this, your skirt looks fine." He said, smiling. A small smirk cracked on the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you." She said. He nodded and gestured to the sink. She leaned back and he began working the soap next to the sink through her long hair.

"I can't believe this." He seethed, hating Ashley for everything right now. His stupid plan to try and get Andy to seduce her and leave her..

There was no way he was doing that.

"It's okay." She said, reaching up and placing her hand on his shoulder. He smiled down at her, a warm feeling lacing his stomach.

"It's not." He said, washing a particularly knotted part of her hair. "So first day of classes huh?"

"Mhm." She mumbled.

"Hate to say it but they aren't the best..." He chuckled. "I can show you around." She glanced up at him, meeting her blues with his.

"Thank you." She said, again. "For everything."

"It's no problem." He said. "I'm really sorry about what I said the other day."

"It's okay." She smiled. "I forgive you."

"That's good." He nodded. "There is just a lot you don't understand." She sat up as he turned the water off and grabbed a few paper towels to stop the water in her hair from dripping.
She slipped her shirt off, aware of Andy's wondering eyes and replaced it with his.
He bit his lip as he saw her glance at him. "Vale..." He mumbled.

"Yes?" She said, her eyes locked on his lips. He picked her up by the waist and placed her on the sink, making her glance into his eyes.

"Have you been having..dreams..about me?" He asked, leaning his forehead against hers. Her arms instinctively trailed around his neck.

She had one of him last night again. They were laying in a beautiful lush field, holding hands and looking into the stars.

"Yes." She whispered.

"Good, that's really good." He smiled.

"Why is that good?" She asked, smirking.

"I've had them too and.." He shook his head. "I can't explain it, Vale. Not yet. It's not safe."

"Andy!" She exclaimed, hugging him closer. "You can't expect me to be content with that."

"I understand." He said. "Just tell me you feel it too?"

"Feel what?"

"Feel me. Feel us." All of the sudden he leaned in and locked his lips with hers. The kiss stole
Vale's breath away and she melted into his perfect lips.

She could kiss him all day long, hug him for the rest of her life. His body fit hers so perfectly and she loved everything about the moment.

To him it was truly like the world fell away. He needed her. He needed her for everything and with her he could face anyone and everyone. He was lucky. She was an angel.

Literally.

His angel.

He pulled away and kissed her one last time. She smiled at him, before burying her face in his neck.

"I've wanted to do that since you got here." He confessed. She chuckled and looked up at him to quickly peck him. She jumped down from the sink and took his hand.

"So what does this mean?" She asked. He grinned, and wrapped his other arm around her neck.

"It means your mine." He said, kissing her forehead. She felt herself swoon. "All mine." He mumbled against the skin of her head.

"Guess I can't argue with that." She said, looking up at him.

"Good." He said, pulling away but keeping their hands together. "Let's go and show them all I guess." He prayed Ashley wouldn't try anything else. There was still a half hour left of breakfast.

They walked in together, hand in hand. Everyone was staring, mouths open.

"It's really quiet and everyone is looking at us." She whispered in his ear. He chuckled and rubbed
her knuckles.

"Let them stare." He smiled, pulling her over to her table. They sat a seat from where everything was dumped on her. Kelsey was gawking, her mouth wide open.

"Uh-when did this happen?" She asked.

"Just now." Andy smiled as she leaned into his side. He had to tell her everything but here was not the place.

He couldn't lose her when she felt so good by his side.

"Wow, uh.." Kelsey shook her head. "This might take some getting used too." She smirked remembering Vale and hers conversation last night. Kelsey knew how much Vale liked Andy and it had been three days. She thanked God he was here because Vale was miserable besides him and herself.

"Yeah for all of us." They heard from behind them. Vale immediately tensed seeing it was Ashley and Jinxx. Jake was watching for afar.

"What do you want?" Andy asked, wrapping his arm around her.

"Just wanted to hear about this new situation." Ashley chuckled. He took a strand of Vale's wet hair in his fingers and chuckled. "Andy help you wash your hair so you thought you'd repay him?"

"No." Vale seethed, turning around to look in his eyes.

"Then why are you with Biersack?" Jinxx chuckled from the back.

"Don't say anything, let me talk." Andy whispered in her ear, kissing her lobe. She turned her head to glare at him, hating that he wanted her to just sit by while these assholes talked to him this way but nodded.

"Well?" Ashley smirked.

"We like each other. No one else has ever caught my eye." Andy said, looking up at Ashley as if to say this isn't what you think. He was really with Vale, not for Ashley's little plan. For his own. For God's. "You can go now." He glared at him, holding tightly onto Vale.

"Nah Andy, we're friends!" Ashley chuckled, shaking his shoulders and plopping down next to Vale. Jinxx sat next to him, crossing his arms. Vale watched in discomfort as Ashley scanned her up and down. Kelsey was keeping her head down, finishing her breakfast.

He waved over the rest of the little group and Vale internally groaned. She didn't want to deal with all these questions, she had a lot of questions herself.

Something about that kiss sent her into a downward spiral. She knew Andy had to be a part of her life now and if that meant having to deal with assholes than she would. She just wanted him to explain. Anything and everything.

CC and Talula sat on one side of Kelsey and Jake sat on the other. He side smirked at the tiny girl and then glanced at Vale.

"Kiss her yet?" Jake asked, smirking.

"I-" Vale cut him off.

"Yes he did." She said, crossing her arms.

"Ah." All three of the guys chuckled.

"Feisty. I like her." Jake winked.

"Yeah me too." Andy mumbled, sliding his fingers over her arm. Ashley smirked at him and nodded, he seemed to not understand. None of them did.

This wasn't part of their fucking plan. Andy was splitting off from this little group, he had too. He had always been planning this: she was his soulmate and every angel has one. How was he supposed to leave her alone? Let her get kidnapped?

No, that wasn't happening. It was never going to happen because Heaven was first for him and Vale was part of his Heaven.

"Well I'm glad." Ashley laughed. "I think we all knew it would happen." Everyone smiled and nodded.

Andy sighed and kissed her cheek. "We have a little while before class. Come somewhere with me?" He whispered. She nodded and they both stood up.

"Kelsey, I'll see you in class okay?" Vale smiled.

"O-okay." Kelsey stuttered nervously. Vale felt bad for leaving her but she needed to talk to Andy.

They stood up, picking up there bags and shooting waves at the others. They walked out together and smirked at all the gawking faces. Hallie, Annalise, and their little posse were still in the cafeteria which upset Vale. If this school was supposed to be a reconciliation center why didn't anyone stop them? Or at least get them in trouble!

"Where are we going?" She asked as he pulled on her hand towads wherever the destination was.

"My room." He mumbled. They only had twenty minutes until they had to get to classes.

"Can't we get in trouble?" She inquired.

"We won't." He said as they walked across the quad towards the dorms. She felt nervous as he opened the door for her and lead her up to his room.

As they walked inside of it Vale felt herself smile. It smelled like Andy, smoke and mint. She knew he had cigarettes: she'd seen him smoking them before but for some reason it didn't turn her away.

"Mind if I light up?" He asked, taking his pack of fags out.

"No." She said. "Is there a smoking alarm?"

"C, and I disabled that a while ago." He chuckled. Lighting his cigarette and laying down on his bed. He sucked in a puff and blew it out looking at the ceiling and then back at Vale. He jerked his chin to himself and opened his arms. She smiled and laid down on his chest. "You know what I want to you to do?"

"What?" She mumbled, looking at the many Batman posters covering his walls.

"Tell me more about yourself." He said, making her giggle.

"Okay. Im Vale Siumm Augustina. I grew up in small town USA. Highland, Mississippi. My grandpa was basically my best friend but he sadly passed a few years back a week after my grandma. I'm decently religious, catholic and I went to church with my grandparents every Sunday until I could start driving myself." She chuckled. "Uh- I've never really had a boyfriend. Never found anyone that I felt that way about so, I guess your the first."

"I love music, mostly rock or metal but I love books even more. Mostly Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare but when I'm in the mood for horror I go to Stephen King." She chuckled. "My parents suck. I hate them. My sister is even worse and I guess the only thing I've ever had to thank her for is bringing me to here. To you."

He smiled, loving her words and her voice. He took another puff of his cigarette and blew out away from her.

"Wow." He smiled, kissing her forehead. "My name is Andrew Dennis Biersack. I love Batman, music, and drawing. Don't have parents, I've been in foster care my whole life and I guess I was always a bad seed because I was thrown in here by the state for partying, smoking, and whatever else I guess. Oh and I really like you." She blushed and buried her face in his chest.

"I like you too." She smiled.

"Can we skip classes today?" He asked, sticking his lower lip out. She giggled and shook her head.

"As much as I'd like I say yes, I can't. It's my first day." She sighed.

"I know. Good knews is we still have ten minutes to lay here." He grinned, his voice sounding gruff.

"Does that give you enough time to explain stuff?" She asked, glancing up at him. He sighed, looking out of the window.

"No." He said, flatly. "Look Vale, when I tell you please don't run away."

"Uhm- That really depends on what you tell me." She shook her head. He sighed and she shivered on his chest. Vale was constantly cold all the time but she forgot her jacket today. She thought her sweater was thick enough but she wasn't wearing her sweater anymore.

"Just say you'll try and listen." She looked up at him, suspiciously.

"Okay." She whispered. They laid there silently for the rest of their time. Vale had fallen asleep until Andy shook her from the blissful moment. It worried him how cold her skin was against his own. At the same time he couldn't help but feel relieved that she was finally his. Their heartbeats matched up perfectly, literally to a tee. They were each other's and that's all that mattered.

"We'd better get to class." He sighed, sitting up. She nodded and slid off of him. He grabbed her hand and jolted back at her icey touch. "Good lord, put this on." He said, handing her his leather jacket. She slipped it on gratefully, laughing when she saw how big it was on her.

"People are going to think something different happened in here." She giggled. He stiffened at the idea of sleeping with her but she didn't seem very anxious about it. Vale had kissed people before and even gone a little farther and she assumed Andy had too. She was still a virgin but even Vale had been to parties before and concerts were crawling with people like that.

"Nah, people don't fuck with me other than Ash, Jake, and Jinxx. I'll beat the shit out of anyone else who comes close to you." He said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Her faux leather shoulder bag was full of school books and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She'd have to meet new teachers and most of the students too.

She was thankful to have Andy and Kelsey, even CC and Talula were cool. It was just the three others that made the tiny girls skin crawl.

"Just sit next to me, we don't have any specific seats. First two hours are with the same teacher. It's English and Trig. Then we have religion, and lunch after that. Then Government and Physics with another teacher." He sighed. "Every class sucks. Well, religion is alright I guess."

"Who teaches that?" She asked.

"Mr. Rodgers. He's the best teacher here. Mrs. Smith is English and Trig and Mr. Robertson is Government and Physics." He said.

"I'm a little nervous." She mumbled, clutching onto her bag.

"Don't be." He smiled, kissing her forehead.

"You know, I hated you." She chuckled, making him giggle.

"I never hated you." He said.

"This is happening really fast.." She mumbled, as he kissed her ear.

"Don't care." He grinned, stopping and pulling her into a kiss. Her knees went weak as his mouth collided with hers. "Don't keep doubting me, Vale. I'll make you swoon with just a kiss.." He said, pulling away and taking her hand.

They walked on to the school building across campus. CC, Kelsey, and Talula caught up to them before they walked into the classroom. It was two person lab tables and with regret she sat next to Andy instead of Kelsey. Vale felt bad for abandoning her but Andy wouldn't let her leave his side.

"Please tell me lab tables aren't the only desks in this school..." She whispered to Andy. He slid his arm around her shoulder and kissed her cheek.

"Not in religion. It's tables in the library for four people. In other classes it's always lab tables." He said. "Good for us but not for you friend."

"That's what I was thinking." She frowned, leaning her head on his shoulder. Kelsey was sitting by herself in the back of the room. Ash, Jinxx, and Jake walked in, almost late and sat at the table in front of Kelsey while Jinxx sat beside her. She glanced over at him and rolled her eyes before sighing. Annalise was sitting next to one of the girls who had been standing behind her this morning.

"I can't believe I have to live with her.." She whispered, grabbing his hand that was around her shoulder.

"She won't mess with you. I'll make sure of it." He said.

"I just never pegged her as a bully." She sighed.

"I'm sorry." He whispered as the teacher walked in the classroom. She was a short, grey haired lady. Her eyes were dark and pointed. They scanned Vale with disdain seeing she was seated next to Andy Biersack.

"May I remind you Mr. Biersack that PDA is not accepted in class?" She said, her voice sounding mean and poignant.

"You can remind me all you want." He chuckled, letting his arm fall to the table but grabbing her hand in the process.

"Well I will. Welcome Ms. Augustina. I trust that you'll find better friends in your time with us." Mrs. Smith said, handing Vale a few papers. "Unless you two are already some item."

"Well as a matter of fact m'am, we are." Andy raised his eyebrow making the whole class gasp.
Talking back to the teacher was prohibited at Corner Tow.

"Look, I'll give you both the benefit of the doubt. Especially since your new here. Do not talk back to me or another detention will be headed your way. I can't stop you from holding hands- but nothing farther. Clear?"

"Crystal." The couple nodded. Mrs. Smith walked away, back to the front of her class.

Andy's thumb traced over her knuckles as she began lecturing. Vale was bored- she had already taken twelfth grade English last year. Her entire curriculum back in Mississippi was a year ahead and she was supposed to be taking college level classes her senior year. Now she was stuck taking the same classes she had last year and she knew she wouldn't have to try.

Andy wasn't taking notes either, he didn't same to care but when Mrs. Smith passed out the last quiz she noticed he had gotten a hundred. It was on vocabulary and she could see how difficult the words would be for someone who doesn't even study or take notes.

"Good job." She smiled, picking up his paper.

"Thanks." He mumbled. "It was easy."

"Looks pretty difficult for a delinquent who doesn't study." She smirked at him.

"Mmm, well I'm smarter than you think." He smiled at her.

"I always thought you were smart." She said, looking up at him. "You talk..older. You have a different..vernacular."

"Oh?" He chuckled, shock toning his voice. "Nice word there."

"You're not the only smart one around here." She said, setting his paper down.

"Oh I know." He giggled, pulling her in to kiss from her ear to her neck.

"Mr. Biersack and Mrs. Augustina!" Mrs. Smith yelled. "That's it scoot your chairs apart, that's it. At least three feet. I was trying to forget about it but it's the elephant in the room. No PDA in my class!" Andy chuckled, shaking his head as Vale blushed. They still held hands and she didn't say much to them about that.

Finally the English lesson ended and they moved into Trig. Vale actually found math fun and she was enjoying doing the problems. She was the only one who answered questions other than Annalise and that seemed to push Andy because he started to as well.

Before she knew it, they were walking to the library where religion was held. She was in between Kelsey and him with CC and Tallie on his side. Ashley, Jake, and Jinxx were behind them which made all of them nervous.

"Are you two going to get yelled at again?" CC chuckled, nudging Andy's shoulder.

"Probably." He laughed, squeezing Vale's hand. "How do you guys do it?"

"Very secretively.." CC grinned. Vale rolled her eyes over at Kelsey who giggled at her.

"Not a public person I see?" She whispered in her ear.

"I just don't like to shove my love life in other peoples faces." Vale sighed as she felt Andy tug her into the library.

"Ah, well he seems pretty proud of it." Kelsey giggled.

"It's not that I'm not." Vale shook her head. "It just feels weird with all of them around."

"I understand." Kelsey said. "Will you be sitting with me in here?"

"It depends I guess. I'm really sorry." She frowned.

"It's no problem." Kelsey reassured her. Vale pulled from Andy to hug her.

"Your a great friend, Kels." She smiled.

"You too." Kelsey kissed her cheek as they walked over to the large classroom like area of the library. Andy grabbed her hand again and pulled her to a table where CC and Talula sat down.
Kelsey sat at the table next to them so the girls could still talk.

Vale got a fresh notebook out of her bag and a pen. "Oh your so studious." CC chuckled.

"And hot." Andy chuckled, propping his feet up on her lap. She giggled and rested her hands on his knees. "Ready for an actually good class?" He asked, smirking.

"Yeah." She chuckled. "Religion doesn't seem like it would be so fun though.."

"If we say it is, it has to be." CC chuckled.

"I guess that's true." She said, hearing the door to the library open. Andy let his feet fall down but he pulled her chair closer so he could put his arm around her. She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Hello class." Mr. Rodgers said walking in. He was attractive: so attractive. His brown hair was toddled on his head and his tan skin was in desperate need of a shave on his face. Though somehow he still looked great. His brown eyes scanned Andy and Vale's closeness and he only chuckled. His eyes were always trained on the beautiful black haired girl Vale called her best friend.

Kelsey and him had been having a fling for two years and somehow have yet to be caught. He
was proud, and in love.

"I see we have a new student." He said, smirking at her. "Hello Vale, welcome to my class. I trust Andy can give you notes."

"Yes I can." Andy smiled. He grabbed his binder out of his backpack and handed her all of the notes from this year. She was almost taken back by his penmanship.

"Nice handwriting." She chuckled. "Want me to copy them?"

"Nah, keep them. I don't need them." He smiled, rubbing her arm.

"Thanks." She said, kissing him quickly. He ruffled her hair and brought her closer to his side. Vale noticed that Kelsey's eyes never left Mr. Rodgers. "Crush on teacher?" She whispered in her ear. Kelsey smirked at her friend. If only she knew..

She only shrugged and looked down at her homework from last night. Vale chuckled, and pulled Andy's jacket tighter around her. Could it get any colder?!

"You're shivering." Andy said, rubbing her arms.

"I'm always cold." She mumbled. "It's okay."

"Worries me." He muttered against the top of her head. Vale said nothing as Mr. Rodgers dove into a lecture about the history of Catholicism. She was already yawning, even though religion amazed her, this was a little much.

Church every morning and a religion class everyday? That seemed crazy to her but it was a catholic school.

A catholic reform school, but still a catholic school.

Andy seemed to be taking notes so she figured she'd get them from him later. His arm never left her waist and it made her feel so safe. Well, aside from the fact that Ashley was sitting at a table with Annalise, Jake, and Jinxx. That worried her a bit.

Notes
