Before The Angels Fell

Rileys POV

I could tell they didn't like me. They treated me like I was temporary. Like it wasn't worth getting to know me.
They were still polite, but it was forced for Andy's sake. They adored their only child that basked in glory of self belief and being who you are. Well I was the opposite of that. In order to seem normal, I lied.
I could never tell them that what I use do. I had to pretend to be this good girl that I was far from. I had a past and hiding it was the only thing I was trying do.
They seemed to buy it and I felt like they were coming round.
We had already been in Cincinnati for a few days and Christmas day was looming on us.
Andy had already taken me to all his favourite spots as a kid and some of the places where he performed.
It was now Christmas eve and I wanted to giving Andy his Christmas slash birthday present.
"Okay, so I know it's not here yet, but I want to give it to you now while we have some time to ourselves" I said as we sat in our bedroom, relaxing before Andy's family came over.
I went into my suitcase and pulled out the box that held his present.
"What? Riley, you didn't have to" he complained.
"It's Christmas! And your birthday! How can't I?" I said handing him the large box.
He sighed and started to unwrap it. The first thing he pulled out was the custom black denim vest I got made for him. Decked out with studs on the front and the Batman logo on the back, along with the name 'Andy Sixx'.
"Oh my God! Riley! What the hell! This is awesome!" He said, immediately putting it on over his clothes. "Ohhhhh I can't wait to wear this onstage! This must have cost you a fortune!" He said feeling the fabric.
I shook my head and smiled. "Don't worry about it. There's more though" I said hinting further into the box.
Andy smirked as dug through the box a little more and found something else.
"What! No way!" He chuckled pulling out the calf high black combat boots that had the Misfits logo on them.
I laughed at his reaction. "I saw you looking at them last week and went back the next day to get them."
"Oh my God! Thank you" he said coming over to kiss me.
"You're welcome baby. So glad you like them."
"You're truly the best" he said kissing me again.
"Oh, one more little surprise" I said pulling my phone out.
I searched for the photo and showed him. "I wearing that right now" I whispered seductively.
I had taken a photo of myself in faux leather lingerie that criss-crossed and was cut in ways that accented my body perfectly.
Andy's face was priceless.
"Why'd you do that? Now I'm gonna be thinking about it all night" he said placing his hands on my hips and starting to kiss me.
"I want you too" I whispered into his ear.
Andy started kissing me again, when there was a knock on our door and he pulled away immediately.
"Come in" Andy called innocently.
"Hey, umm, Andy, Riley should come out now. Family have arrived and dinner is almost ready" Amy instructed and left.
"Your family doesn't like me" I said just as Andy was going to exit the room.
"Yes they do."
"No they don't! I had to lie to cover up how fucked up my life has been. Now will come the next round of questions. 'What do you plan to do in life? Are going to go study again? You going to sell your bar?' And all that stuff. Andy, I'm 21, I have no fucking clue."
"Hey, I'm 21 too. I'm not 22 yet."
"But you have already achieved so much. You guys have your second album out, you're moving up in the music world, you have a legion of fans, you're set."
"You can be too."
"I could never live off your fame" I sighed. "Well we better go out there. I'm sure your family want to see you."
I took Andy's hand and we went into the living room.
We sat down on one of the couches and I let Andy mingle and I tried to tune out the conversations. I didn't feel like having to lie all over again.
After about ten minutes, the doorbell chimed and everyone glanced up.
"Mom, who else is coming?" Andy called.
"I'm not sure. I'll have a look" Amy said and rushed through the living room to answer the door.
The conversations resumed, but I listened towards the front door.
It sounded like a girl...
Amy soon walked back in with a worried look on her face, followed by a women, roughly the same age as me.
"Hi Andy" the woman said.
Andy looked up and his face dropped. "What the hell are you doing here?!" He said forcing himself not to yell. "Mom, did you invite her?" He said through his teeth.
"Andy, you know I would never do that... I ran into her the other day and mentioned you were home for Christmas..."
"I wanted to come see you Andy" she said cutely.
At that moment I was in shock. My life was fucked up, but nothing could top this.
"Scout, this is Riley. My girlfriend. Riley-" Andy tried to say.
"Is leaving..." I said abruptly getting off the couch and going to our bedroom.
"What the fuck" I said to myself.
"I'm so sorry Riley" Andy said, following me in.
"What the fuck Andy! Did you seriously not know that she was coming?" I yelled, hurt with all the thoughts going through my head.
"I had no clue! I didn't even know she was in Ohio! Riley, I didn't do this to you!"
I just shook my head with tears at the ready. "Doesn't matter. She obviously still has feelings for you, your parents still love her. I know when I'm not wanted" I said and started to throw my stuff into my suitcase.
"What are you doing? Just stop!"
"No! I need to go."
