Elsie sighed in anger as she sat on a bale of hay in the barn, petting her favorite pig on her head. It had been a month and a half since her little accident and she was so ready to get her stupid cast off. She got it off the day before her parents big party which was in a day.

She couldn't do anything. Couldn't ride, couldn't swim in the creeks behind her house, she couldn't even drive. She hated everything about breaking her wrist and was so happy to know it was almost over.

She bent down and looked around at all the piglets the mother had just had. She picked her favorite one up in her good arm and smiled. His name was Mac and he was the most adorable piglet she'd ever seen.

"Hi Mac.." She whispered. "You're so cute, I love you so much and so does you're mommy right there."

Andy stayed silent as he stood behind her, his short black hair looking sweaty underneath his hat.

"You're so adorable Mac! You're going to grow up and be such a great breeder. A great daddy." Elsie gushed down at the little pig.

A few of the other pigs came over to her and she made sure to give them all attention. Her minds drifted to Andy and how she had seen him working everyday so far. How his muscles flexed when he worked and how Allison seemed to be obsessed.

Andy and Elsie were getting closer as the days went by. Joking around like brother and sister but there was always something more. Something real. She longed to think he liked her and though it seemed that he did, she could never be sure.

Her attention was taken when she heard a car pull into their driveway. She turned and saw Andy staring. "What are you doing in here?"

"I don't know. I got distracted." He swallowed, furrowing his brows.

"With who? Me? Or Mac here." She chuckled, stroking the pigs back. Andy laughed and plopped down next to her.

"How are you feeling today?" He asked, looking over her wrist.

"I'm good." She nodded. "I get my cast off tomorrow."

"That's great." Andy smiled. "I was real worried that day, thought you could've broken every bone in your body."

"Yeah me too." She said, looking at her feet.

"I-I can't get the way you.." Andy's mind screamed, Felt when I held you, felt when I held you! "Or your face looked. You looked really scared or shaken up about something."

Maybe it was the way Allison was looking at you. Touching you. "I was just terrified of breaking every bone in my body."

"Ah." He sighed, wishing she had just said it. She had been jealous. All he wanted was for her to admit how much she liked him.

"Glad I didn't."

"Mmm." Andy mused.

"So, are you going to the party?" Elsie asked.

He chuckled. "I don't think I'm wanted."

"You are." She said. "To regale everyone of your heroic tale."

"Yeah, so heroic. I did what anyone would do." He shrugged. Elsie glanced over at him and for the first time, really noticed his beauty. She looked at the way his nose curled along his face and his flawless pale skin that made her heart melt.

Two perfect people must have made him or maybe even God himself.

"You did more than my sister ever would have." She said, her eyes staying locked on his face. He glanced over at her and smiled as he saw how gorgeous her eyes looked in this light.

"Well I should probably get back to work, but this was nice." He smiled a bit.

"Yeah, we should do it again sometime." He stood up and brushed his pants off. "And Andy?" He turned to her.

"Hm?"

"You should go to the party. You would make it..bareable." She said, biting her lip. He chuckled.

"Maybe I'll show my face." He nodded, before walking away. He smiled to himself but groaned as he saw Allison running after to him.

"Mr. Mayor, please come in." Evan stepped aside in the door frame to let the bald, wrinkled skin man inside. Aside from being the most profitable man in Rion, he was close with the Eric Crainor, the town mayor which made him almost untouchable. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you about something. It's private." Eric said, noting the eldest Rossin daughter standing in the kitchen.

"I'm out of here anyways, I've got some uh..someone to talk too.." She grinned, running out of the door towards Andy.

"What's going on, Eric?" Evan said, leading him back to his office.

"There has been.." Eric sighed. "A murder."

"Oh my god!" Evan exclaimed. "Who!?"

"Milton." Eric swallowed, hoping the news wouldn't completely shatter his best friend.

Milton Bradley Rossin was Evan's brother. He'd been stabbed and basically gutted only to be hung on a tree in the backyard of his trailer. He'd never loved his brother and when Evan started doing better, Milt shunned him to the point where none of his nieces and nephews even knew he was still around.

"W-what?" Evan swallowed.

"And we don't think the murderer is stopping there." Eric said. "We think this is hooked to Harry."

Evan's whole world when blank.

His wife, his kids, he was not safe. Nobody was.

Andy rolled his eyes as his ears were talked off by the one and only Allison Rossin. All he wanted was to scream "LEAVE ME ALONE!" but he knew he couldn't.

"I mean, maybe we could go to the party together." Allison grinned as Andy whipped his head around.

"No. I'm not going with anyone." Andy said. "Plus I've been told to stay away from you and your sister."

"You didn't seem to act that way when she fell off her horse." Allison mumbled. "Or any times after that.."

"Because she hurt herself, Alli! How many times do I have to tell you that!?"

She didn't answer him. She just grabbed his head and pulled him into a heated kiss that made his skin crawl. He struggled but she just held her lips to his. A shock gasp sounded from behind them and he pulled away to turn and see Elsie standing there. He winced at her hurt expression as she ran away.

"Wait, Els!" Andy screamed, bolting after her. "You can't be mad!" He said, finally catching up with her.

"Oh can't I!?" She screamed.

"We weren't even a thing! She kissed me!" He grabbed her hand, keeping her from walking any farther. "You have to believe me, Elsie." Her eyes softened at his words but she winced as she saw Allison behind them.

"God, Elsie! You're ruining everything! I can't have anything!" She screamed, running away. Andy's hand stayed locked in that of Elsie's.

"I should go." She whispered quietly.

"Wait, Els-"

"I'll see you at the party, Andy." She said, trying to walk away but he grabbed her good arm.

"No. Meet me tonight." He said, his eyes burning with a passion that she'd never seen before.

"Where?" She asked.

"At Midnight meet me outside and I'll take you somewhere. We can talk." He said.

"About what, Andy? Just like you said we aren't even a thing.." She said, her eyes looking hurt.

"Please." Was all he said. They kept their gazes locked for at least a minute, she was fascinated by his blues. There were so many layers to them and she loved the way they stared into her's.

"Fine."

"Biersack, get your ass back to work!" Dan yelled at the pair. Andy nodded and walked away with one last look.
