The Biersack-Purdy Rebel

Oh St Valentine

Ugh! Valentine’s day! Kill me! I don’t hate Valentine’s Day it’s just....It’s just stupid on my own. Last year, was great, spent the whole day with my then boyfriend. He was a nice guy but he hated the fact I was about to go on tour again and didn’t trust the guys in BVB, so I had to end it. I don’t talk to him anymore, he was furious when I broke it off.

We had the night off, no concert and no media interviews. Not that I had much these days now anyway.
“I’m going to pick up Juliet” called Andy as he walked out of the bus to the waiting car. Everyone was going out for Valentine’s day dinner, they were getting all dressed up. I on the other hand had just gotten a call from a friend I haven’t seen in months; Travis. He wanted to have a video chat with me later with his mate Jason. Last time I saw them was early Warped tour last year.
“Jinxx, Im going to get food, see you later” I said to him poking my head in to the bathroom.
“Okay, see you” he smiled fixing his hair. I couldn’t wait to see Sammi and Juliet later tonight, both always texting me making sure I’m okay and at least I can keep an eye on the guys for them. I walked outside and I saw that bitch from before. I couldn’t believe Ashley was seeing her again. She was fixing something on his shirt and leaning in way to him far. I could smell her cheap perfume from where I was. I didn’t bother saying bye to Ash, I got the ‘keep walking’ glare from the bitch as she saw me. Clearly pissed the I the ‘kid’ was still around.

When I came back, I was happy to see the bus empty and I could have some time to myself. I dropped the Chinese boxes on the back table and ran to grab my laptop.
“HEY TRAVY!” I grinned waving as he finally answered.
“Ariel! God you look amazing as usual!” he smiled back.
“What you eating?” Jason asked.
“Chinese, want some?” I laughed holding it up. We spoke for about an hour catching up before Travis brought up what he really wanted to ask.

“Ariel, we heard what happened with your other band” I rolled my eyes at this part.
“Dean has had to quit too, personal reason but Jason and I have been talking and we want you to come out and perform a small 10 minute set with us next week” Travis started, unsure of how I’d react.
“I’d love to!” I gleamed.
“Really?” Jason asked surprised.
“Hell Yeah!!”
“That’s awesome, I’ll give you the set list, is only 4 songs, just for a charity event” Travis said and emailed through the details.
“I can’t wait!” I cheered.

“ARIEL!”
I looked up hearing my name screamed out.
“I gotta go guys” I quickly said and shut my lap top, next second Andy came bursting in.
“What the Hell Ariel!” he shouted again.
“What?” I asked.
“Why weren’t you at dinner tonight?” He asked.
“Because You guys all had dates, I didn’t want to come alone” I replied.
“Andy! Wait!” called another voice. Ashley came running in after Andy.
“Why didn’t you come with Ashley?” Andy asked.
“Because We’re not seeing each other!” I said.
“Ashley, You know you should have taken Ariel tonight, she’s having your fucking kid!” Andy growled at him. Ashley didn’t know how to reply and not infuriate Andy even more.
“Andy, Ashley doesn’t owe me anything! Yeah I’m having his kid but that’s it” I said.
“So you take that whore over my Sister?” Andy glared.
“Andy I...”  he started.
“I don’t want to hear it, you fuck my sister and don’t have the decency to take her to dinner!”
“ANDREW! Back off! Ashley and I were NEVER dating! This is just circumstantial! I’m pregnant, that’s all!” I yelled.
“PREGNANT! Ariel! Yes Pregnant! Do you know what that means?” he asked.
“DO YOU?!” I yelled furiously.
“I was wrong, Im sorry, I should have asked you Ariel...” Ashley said trying to break us up.
“No Ashley you can see who ever you want, No matter what MY brother says” I glared at Andy.
“Fuck off Ariel” he growled turning away.
“Fuck you too Andrew!” I yelled back, he hated when I called him Andrew. No one was ever game enough to get in the middle of our fights and I knew Ashley was uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry” Ashley said.
“It’s fine, you can see who ever you want” I said and turned away. Andy had to come in and ruin my night, I was so happy about going to play with Travis and Jason and now this.

‘What happened?’ messaged Juliet.
‘Andy just went off at me for not coming tonight, sorry if i ruined V-Day for you’ I replied.
‘It wasn’t you, the chick Ashley brought, ruined it for everyone...wish you were there’ she answered.

Wish I was too,  but even after yesterday at the beach with Ashley, nothing had changed. Ready to face the fact, that there’s nothing between us. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, we changed. No more flirting and I haven’t had sex since that night either. Ugh, my life was sad! Should just get out the blankets and knitting needles now and just sit in a rocking chair near the fire and admit it, life was over. I laughed at that thought of me sitting and knitting...I had one more shot; next week, with some old friends.

I turned to see where Ashley was and saw him standing outside. I stepped outside the bus and walked towards him. As I stepped closer I realised he was holding something in his hand. The ultra-sound picture, he hadn’t stopped looking at it.
“I’m sorry about before” I walked up to him. Quickly he shoved it in his pocket, probably hoping I didn’t see.
“Andy’s right though” Ashley replied.
“No he’s not, Ash, you don’t have to do what he says” I replied.
“Ariel...I” Ashley started before Andy called out interrupting. I looked over at him and then sighed looking back at Ashley. He just smiled as if nothing happened. I turned and walked back to Andy who just handed me the phone. It was the parents, more importantly my mum. I forgot to call her this morning and she wasn’t happy.

I didn’t want to deal with Andy’s crap anymore, not after tonight. I’m gonna move out, at least then Juliet can just stay there all the time. I rolled my eyes, Andy was going to be pissed but I don’t care.
“Andy, I’m moving out when we get home” I said standing in the room.
“What?” he asked.
“I’m sick of your shit” I replied. I was in a foul mood and this was pretty much coming out of nowhere.
“And where are you gonna move in too?” he scoffed.
“In with me”
I turned around and looked up at Ashley.
“What....?” I mumbled slightly.
