You Again

"Scout it's great to see you could make it." I say sarcastically.

"I'll be right back." Andy says and leaves the room.

"Hi my name's Juliet." She says holding out her hand.

"Don't care." Scout says leaving her hanging. And the bitchiness begins.

"Scout you're just as I remember, a stuck up bitch." I say making her angrier.

"Well how's your career going? Oh wait, you don't have one." She says to me, I just smirk.

"Really, you want to hit my career, go ahead. At least I'm not the thirsty bitch in the room." I say and Juliet laughs.

"Ugh!" Scout storms out of the room.

"Nice one." Juliet says giving me a high five.

"Hey where's Scout?" Andy asks returning to the room.

"She just went out for a breath of fresh air." I say, Juliet and I both grin at each other.

"Okay well the first Christmas meeting is about to begin so let's go into the living room." Andy says.

"We'll be right with you, just refilling our drinks." Juliet says. Andy walks out.

"You know if we can keep this thing up with Scout, we can get her to leave." I say grabbing another glass of whiskey for Andy.

"Let's do this!" Juliet says all excited. We walk out into the living room and I hand Andy a drink.

"Thank you." He says.

"Alright does everyone remember how this show will run?" Amy asks.

"Did you update the rules since I've been gone?" I ask.

"Just a bit. Okay so you guys will be doing a number of performances. Two solos, two duets, and one as a group. You all will be given a score individually, and whoever wins picks one person and you two get out of going door to door carolling with us." Chris, Andy's dad says.

"Sounds awesome." I say.

"You'll have to perform tomorrow." Amy says and I look at Juliet.

"Juliet and I are doing a duet." I say.

"Since when?" Andy asks.

"Since now." Juliet says.

"That's so not fair." He says.

"Come on guys, let's brainstorm in Andy's old room." Joe says.

Luka, Andy, Juliet, Joe and I go up to Andy's old bedroom. His walls are still covered in band posters of KISS and Montely Crüe, and he still has his collection of Batman. Scout walks in, pissed that no one went outside to get her.

"I don't want a solo or a duet." Luka says.

"Why not?" I ask.

"Belle, I never went to an art's school, I'm only gonna preform the final act." Luka says and I sigh.

"Well I call a solo." Joe says.

"Why do you get a solo?" Andy asks.

"Because I'm doing a stand up act." Joe says.

"Andy we're doing a duet." Scout says, Juliet and I both try to hold back our laughs. Andy's going to hate this.

"Are you sure you want me as a partner? Wouldn't you rather have anyone else?" Andy asks.

"It's perfect if you guys do the other duet." I say.

"Can I do a solo?" Juliet asks.

"Of course Jules, now all we have to do is think of what to do for the final act." Andy says.

"I think we should do improv, whatever happens, just happens." I say.

"Okay but we need a theme." Joe says.

"We have a theme, Christmas." Andy says looking exactly at me.

"Exactly." I say. We just stare at each other for a second.

"Andy, we should probably get to work." Scout says pulling on Andy's arm.

"Let's go across the street Juliet." I say dragging her behind me. We get to my room and she smirks at me. "What?" I ask.

"You and Andy." She says and hugs me. I don't understand.

"Juliet are you okay?" I ask.

"I'm fine and I think I can move on from Andy because you two obviously are in love with each other." She says and I'm shocked.

"How did you?" I ask.

"The way you two looked at each other, it was just pure love."

"And you got that from one shared look?"

"And from the way he use to talk about you. He never said you two were an item, but he'd always say great things about you."

"Okay, but I'm still not sure whether being in a relationship with him is the best option."

"Why wouldn't it be? You two obviously are in love."

"He cheated on me with you four years ago. He came home and told me and that's when things ended. I can't trust him anymore."

"He cheated on you?" I nod, "He's going to die, I promise you that."

"You've known me for less than a day and you're already getting ready to kill my ex." She nods and we both laugh.

"We should probably get started on our duet."

"We're going to sing right?" She asks and I nod. "Okay, any suggestions?"

"Not really." I say.

"Well how about I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause in the style of John Mellencamp?"

"Perfect!"


We practice the song for an hour and I have to say we sound great, and by we I mean mostly Juliet. She has this awesome rocker voice which sounds pleasant with my soft one. We return to the Biersack household and I see Luka chatting Juliet up. I think he's starting to take a real liking to her. I'd rather have Jules as a sister than Scout any day. I grab a beer and go upstairs to see Andy. I walk down the hall and peak into his room. That's when the beer drops from my hands and the tears form in my eyes. He's kissing Scout. I fall on my knees and start cleaning up the shattered glass.

"Wow Belle, don't touch the glass." Andy says, I guess he didn't see me peak in.

"No just go, carry on." I say trying not to sound like I'm crying.

"You're going to hurt yourself, just let me help." He says getting down to pick up the pieces.

"No I can clean it up, ow!" I wince in pain as a piece cuts into my hand.

"I told you so, now let's get you up and I'll help you clean the cut."

"No I can do it myself."

I walk into the bathroom and run my hand in the ice cold water. I wince at the pain, but it doesn't hurt as seeing Andy kissing Scout. I go into the cabinet and grab the first aid kit. Andy opens the door and walks in. Fuck I thought I locked it.

"Belle why are you crying? It wasn't that deep of a cut." He says shutting the door.

"I'm a wuss." I say and put gauze over the wound. Andy chuckles and bandages my hand up.

"You're not a wuss." He tries to kiss me but I turn my head.

"I have to go practice the duet with Juliet."

I walk out of the bathroom and downstairs. Just act like nothing happened, act like everything's okay, even though I'm not okay. I grab another beer from the fridge and walk out to the living room. I sit in a corner and stare at my phone. Then that one familiar song turns on and Andy walks up to me.

"Belle this is our song, you wanna dance?" He asks as Beth by KISS plays.

Act like everything's okay, leave a note on Boxing Day, and don't come back, that's the plan. I get up and take his hand. He pulls me into the center of the room and rests his hands on my waist. I place my hands on the back of his neck and we sway side to side. He stares at me but I keep my eyes on the ground. Andy sways us out to the kitchen and looks at me confused.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"I'm fine." I answer.

"Okay, well do you remember the first time we danced to this song?"

"How could I forget?"




Flashback:

I smile at Andy, I feel bad that he got stuck dancing with Scout. I look next to me at my date, Braden. We just graduated grade eight and I'm not even dancing with my best friend. I feel like I should go save him, but I can't just leave my date.

"I hate my mom!" Braden says.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"My sister's babysitter cancelled and I have to go home and look after her." He says with a sigh.

"You go home, be a good big brother." I tell him.

"Thanks for understanding Isabelle." He kisses my cheek and runs off.

I slowly walk over to Andy and Scout. She has her arms wrapped around Andy like she's holding on for dear life. Andy looks like he's suffocating and smiles when he sees me. Beth by KISS begins to play through the gym speakers and I tap Andy's arm.

"Biersack, may I have this dance?" I ask and Scout glares at me. Andy unclenches Scout from his body and takes my hand.

"Of course." He says and puts his hands on my waist, I put my hands around his neck. "You look beautiful."

"You don't look half bad yourself." I say. We sway back and forth.

"I mean it."

"And you don't think I do?"

"What happened to your date?"

"Family situation, was it fun dancing with Scout?"

"Fuck no, thanks for saving me."

"Anything for you." If only you knew that I'm head over heels in love with you.

End Of Flashback.




"I saved you from Scout, but there will be no more of that." I say and put my hands into my pockets.

"Why not?" He asks.

"Because you're not the one that needs saving."

I walk back across the street and lock the door behind me. I go upstairs and cry myself to sleep.

Why did I let myself fall for him again?
