Sylvie stared down at the picture of her and Dustin. His brown eyes clashed with her blue's but somehow they managed to still look just as in love. His cowboy hat tipped against his as they kissed, eyes open so they could see each other.

Their love was a beautiful one but it failed. Just like all love.

It fails.

That's why Sylvie was two seconds away from canceling her date with Andy.

They'd be better friends! The guy didn't want a freak like her! She was a train wreck who didn't know she was and Andy was so sure that it was actually insane. How did he like her?! How could he even want to be near such a wreck!?

"Oh god, Aaron! I'm freaking out!" Sylvie said, shaking her hands out and throwing the old picture down in her dresser drawer. "I need Poppy!"

"Poppy is in New York. What's the big deal!? You and makeup man have been hanging out everyday since you met!" Aaron exclaimed, sitting next to his best friend. "You look beautiful and he's going to shit himself when he sees you."

She looked at herself in the mirror, and took in her thin strapped, black dress. She wore black tights underneath and her combat boots. Her hair curled and her makeup was done just right.

Andy had told her to dress up and she was excited but crazy nervous.

"It's been so long since I've worn anything like this.." She shook her head, thinking of all her work clothes hanging in her closet.

"And you look fabulous." Aaron kissed her cheek.

"What if he doesn't like me and he's just using me?" She frowned.

"Sylvie, you are crazy." He laughed. "Andy's head over heels."
She frowned.

"I mean, I'm sure you've kissed right?" He smirked but it fell as Sylvie shook her head. "What!?"

"We haven't kissed! What do you want me to say!?" She laughed.

"It's a kiss! Just a kiss! You guys like each other, hell you slept in the same bed!" He exclaimed. Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door and Aaron grinned. "Come on.." He grabbed her clutch and pushed her towards the door.

She opened it to be greeted by a beautiful Andy in a black tank top, leather jacket, skinny jeans, and those infamous cowboy boots.

"H-holy shit." He mumbled as he drank her in. She looked absolutely perfect and Andy couldn't believe he was this lucky. "You're so beautiful, Sylv."

"Thank you." She blushed as he handed her a bunch of flowers. "They're gorgeous." He kissed her cheek as she walked to put them in a vase.

"Just like you." He grinned. They laced hands before walking down the hallway outside of her apartment.

"So where are we going?" She asked.

"Oh no, it's a surprise." He smirked down at her. She giggled, squeezing his hand.

"You can't even give me a hint?" She whined as they got in the elevator and quickly pressed the down button.

"Nope." He winked, leaning back and taking her hips in his hands. "What does your sister think about all of this?"

"She thinks I'm the worst sister of all time for taking you away from her." Sylvie giggled. "But she'll get over it. How are your fans?"

"The same way." He shook his head, that same perfect smirk never leaving his lips.

"I'm sure." She laughed as they reached the first floor and walked out to his car.

The drive to the ever so secret location was short but fun and full of laughter. She became quickly aware that it was the beach they had officially met at.

"Why are we here?" She chuckled.

"The guys helped me out to do something amazing." He grinned, placing his hand on the small of her back and leading her up the dune.

Her breath caught in her throat and she covered her mouth with her hands. "Andy!" She exclaimed, looking at the small table he had set up. There was a candle lit and dinner was out.

"You didn't have to do this, it's our first date!"

"Is it too much?" He asked, sheepishly.

"It's- it's amazing! You're amazing!" She turned in his grip and looked into his oceanic eyes. He leaned forward and she swallowed, nervously.

When his lips connected with her's, every star aligned, the moon and the sun met and became lovers as they looked down at the angelic pair.

His hands hugged her waist so tight as the wind around them moved their hair, mixing it together. Their tongues danced around, no clear battle for dominance as they both just caressed each other.

They pulled back at the same time, smiling as they looked into each other's eyes. "Wow."

"That was-"

"Great." She whispered, tugging at his shirt to kiss him again. He complied but pulled back after only a few seconds.

"The foods going to get cold." He chuckled, leading her to her seat.

It wasn't a gourmet meal, it was pizza, but it was all she needed. "Sorry it's not perfect or anything. I can't cook worth shit."

"It's fine, Andy." She grabbed his hand and began eating.

They talked for hours, finishing the food fairly quick and just enjoying each other's company. Andy was great- he made her laugh, he told stories of his touring adventures, and Matt and him. She was so happy to be with him and he her.

Eventually, they stood up, leaving their friends to clean up. Everyone wanted this to work, they hadn't seen Andy this happy since his ex girlfriend, Scout. He was even happier.

"So what's next?" She asked. He grinned down at her and sighed. God she was perfect.

"I was thinking of taking you to my studio and you can listen to some of our newest recordings." He laughed as she threw her arms around his neck.

"I wouldn't want to do anything else!" She laughed, jumping on his back. He only shook his head and carried her back to the car.

They drove over to Universal Republic records quickly and walked inside quickly, trying not to be detected.

He flicked the light on in the studio and sat down in his producer's chair. Blasko was everything to Andy, like another father. He was great. He found him sleeping in an old studio when he first got to LA and he gave Andy a chance.

"This is so cool." Sylvie giggled, sitting down on Andy's lap.

"Ready to hear me sing?" He chuckled.

"Definitely." She smiled, leaning back into his chest. He turned on the stereo and clicked over to a song they had just added to the record. He recorded the vocals that he finally finished writing this week and it was the last song left. "What's this called?"

"Rebel Love Song." He smirked, resting his chin in her neck. "I wrote the lyrics to this melody we'd had for forever just a few days ago."

"And.."

"They're kind of about you and Jake helped me so I can't take all the credit. He's had a girlfriend for forever." He chuckled. Sylvie quieted as she listened to the lyrics.

I cannot hide what's on my mind
I feel it burning deep inside
A passion crime to take what's mine
Let us start living for today

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight

This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die

This is a rebel love song

My outlaw eyes have seen their lies
I choke on all they had to say

When worlds collide what's left inside
I hold on tight and hear you pray

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight

This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die

This is a rebel love song

Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom
(Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom)

Never gonna' change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna' stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight

This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die

This is a rebel love song

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight

This is a rebel love song

Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die

This is a rebel love song


"Oh Andy! It's great!" She grinned, throwing her arms around his neck.

"Thanks, Sylv. T-that means a lot to me.." He said, leaning into kiss her once more. How had this happened?

---

"So.." Andy trailed off as he leaned next to Sylvie's door frame. "What are we?"

She looked down at her feet and only shook her head. "We've only known each other for what?
A week?" She glanced up at him to see his eyes looking sad.

"So nothing." He frowned.

"No, Andy!" Sylvie laughed, brushing a piece of his long hair behind his ear. "We're friends, best friends." She took his hands and tried to ignore the puppy dog look he was giving her. "I think this could be something more, we just have to try a little harder before we commit."

"Will you still hold my hand?" He asked, his blue eyes so heart shatteringly sad that she wanted to jump off a building.

"Andy, of course I'll still hold your hand!" She giggled, pulling him into a hug. "We just need to test the waters. We need to make sure this could last before we move on to anything else."

She moved back to look into his eyes and he nodded. "Loyal but only friends.."

"Really?" She bit her lip. "You'd still stay loyal?"

"Why wouldn't I?" He cocked his head to the side, making her giggle.

"I don't know, you're a rockstar." She smirked.

"But I also only like you." He reassured her making her smile wider than the Grand Canyon.
She leaned up and pressed her lips carefully against his. "Thank you for understanding." She mumbled, waving before she walked back into her apartment.

How was he so lucky?

How was he going to only be her friend so far?

How..
