You stand in line at Warped, feeling self-conscious as you notice people staring at the scars covering your bare arms. You sigh uncomfortably, taking a step closer to the table to get an autograph and picture with Andy, of course. You were brave enough to show your scars all day, but as you get near the table, you begin to regret it.

Not wanting the band to see them you, try to fold your arms but its too late. You're already standing in front of Andy at the table when you realize they are still showing. As he looks up at you with a smile, he has this look in his eyes that just tells you that he's different. It tells you he won't judge you for who you used to be.

"Hey, Andy I'm Maggie." You say brightly noticing him look at your scars.

"Hey, maggie. What did you think of our set?" he asks excitedly.

"It was truly amazing. You guys never fail to amaze me." You tell him in honest admiration. "You guys are so happy to be up there and it shows. And your voice...its beautiful." As you hand him a Warped flyer to sign.

"Thank you. Am I making this out to mags, or some cool ass nick name?" he says with a infectious laugh, causing you to giggle as well.

"No just Maggie. Nothing too special." You say after sliding your hands in your back pockets. He signs his name and hands it back to you as you try to find your phone. "Do you mind taking a picture with me?" you ask  shyly.

"No, at all!" He says with a smile. "Hey, Dave. Can you take this picture for me?" He asks turning to the right.

"Yeah, sure cause there's no babes asking for a picture with me." He says with a chuckle as he takes the phone from your hand while flipping it over and admiring the CTE case. "Nice case you have here." Dave says, laughing as he flips it over to access the camera.

"Thanks!" You say with a full grin. You and Andy both get ready for the picture. He wraps his arms around your waist as you wrap yours around his abdomen. You both look up at Dave and smile as the flash goes off.

"Want another one?" Dave asks.

"Andy, want to?" You ask nearly begging.

"Of course!" He says throwing up his finger-crowns. You follow immediately, but put your arms down when you realize your scars would show. Andy stared at you. "No?" He says with pure confusion. But then he instantly understands why and he turns to you, tossing one arm over  your shoulders. 

You sigh in relief, putting your arm around his back. You both smile at the camera once again and Dave snaps the picture before returning your phone. You take it, putting it back in your pocket and thanking Dave for taking the pictures. As he takes his seat, Andy hugs you and you return the gesture. "Thanks Andy I really do appreciate it." You say picking up the Warped poster.

"You're very welcome!" He says before you walk off feeling completely accomplished.

Andy sits back at the table as Dave says "She was pretty cool, but did you see the scars?" he asks concerned, signing something for another fan.

"Yeah. She seemed sweet, honestly. I did see the scars. She was trying to hide them though." He responds, feeling like he should have done something.

"I mean, you could go talk to her, man. We'll hold it down until you get back." Dave says, reading Andy's mind.

"You sure?" Andy asks, looking at the line of fans.

Dave cocks a brow at him. "You gonna sit here and ask fucking questions, or are you gonna catch her before she leaves?"

"Alright, alright. I'll be back in a minute." He says, getting up to follow you just before you exit tent.

Just as you see your friend you came with, Andy grabs your wrist and you turn around in total shock. But you calm down as you see who it is.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you" he says apologetically.

"Oh, its fine. You just...caught me off guard." You tell him in confusion, trying to figure out what caused him to walk away from the signing.

"I just wanted to talk to you about something. Is that okay?" He asks nervously awaiting your reaction.

You blink at him for a second, getting more confused. "Yeah that's fine. What is it?"

"Your scars. I just want to tell you to stay strong. You are such a beautiful girl and things will get better." He says in a gentle tone nearly making you melt.

"Thank you. I was really hoping you wouldn't notice them..." You say trying to avoid eye contact.

He grabs both of your arms. "Can we go back there so we can continue talking." He asks with smile of hope.

"Yeah." you say as he leads you to a bench by the tent you didn't even notice before.

"Do you know about the butterfly project?" He asks as you both sit on the bench facing each other.

"No...Should I though?" You ask in amusement noticing how caring he's being.

He smiles at you. "Yes, I think it can really help you."

"What is it?"

"You draw a butterfly in pen or marker every time you think of cutting and name it after someone that really wants you to get better or a love one, but if you cut before the butterfly its gone, it dies." He explains to you softly.

You nod, taking that in. "Can other people draw them?"

"Yes those are special and really show support." He says as he rubs the scars.

"Will you draw one?" you blurt out before you could stop yourself.

Andy smiles at you again. "If you want, sure. I'd indefinably love to."

"I think that would really help me get through things." You tell him honest as he pulls a black and silver sharpie from his pocket.

You expect him to start drawing, but instead he takes your arm and pulls it towards his face. Before you can even question his actions, he gently kisses your scars. As he looks into your eyes, suddenly you have this feeling that the future will be much brighter and it will be all thanks to Andy. He slowly pulls his lips from your arm and surprisingly, you gasp. But he distracts your thoughts as he starts to draw. "This might look a little janky, but I want you to be able to look at this butterfly and think of all the good things coming to your life and make you push harder for the things you want."

You sit there speechless as he draws this black and silver butterfly on your arm to help you stop a bad habit. "This just may be the end of it." You say before you realize the words have actually left your lips.

As he finishes the butterfly, he puts his hand over it lightly before looking at you. "Good." he says with a smile, getting to his feet and bringing you with him. He pulls you into a hug, staying like that for a few seconds before pulling back. "I have to get back now, but promise me something?"

You look up at Andy, tears in your eyes. "Anything."

He smiles at you. "Stay strong, okay?"

"I will." you tell him honestly. "I promise."
