Cheater (a Scandy fanfic)

Cover The Lies

It was departure day. The day where Black Veil Brides would leave for tour, and they would all put aside their lives for the shows they played.

It sounded sad, but Andy loved it. The thrill of it, the experience of getting up in front of thousands of people and doing what he loved to do. Perform.

He woke up that morning for before-tour soundcheck, trying to just put aside his struggles and fears.

After bidding his parents one last goodbye before he left, and just as he was about to walk out the front door, he made sure to grab his medications and pills so he wouldn't go crazy. Those were important, and he couldn't forget it.

As he walked out to his car and got in, starting the engine, he heard his phone start to vibrate. It sounded muffled, and he didn't know where it even was until he realized he had left it in his suitcase and had to dig all through it to find it.

He picked it up just in time, even though he didn't know the number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Andy?" a female voice said in the other line.

"Uh.... yes." Andy answered.

"Hey, Andy, it's Juliet! We exchanged phone numbers the other night!"

"I was friends with Scout."

"Okay. Right. Yeah, I know who you are," Andy finally said after racking his brain to think of who "Juliet" was. He really didn't remember, but he just decided to go with it.

"Where are you going? Are you busy?"

"What? How do you know I'm going anywhere?"

Andy looked in his rearview mirror, tilting it to the side a little so that he could see directly through his back window. There was a blonde girl standing there, waving to him, on her phone.

"What," Andy muttered to himself, his heart dropping. "How....?"

He opened the door and stepped out, feeling an invisible force pull him out of the car and towards the blond woman, while still trying to resist the invisible force.

"Hey!" she said, smiling. She walked towards Andy in her stilettos and hugged him, and he just stood there with his arms at his sides, confused.

The only girl he knew that could rock heels like that was Scout.

Oh, come on.... he thought, my damn mind going on about Scout again....

"You asked me out the other night, Andy. You said tonight would be great, and you gave me your address."

"I -- I did?"

She giggled a girly laugh, one that made Andy cringe as she pulled away and looked up at him, biting her lip. "Yes, silly. I'm pretty positive you were drunk that night though."

Andy stared at her unbelievably, so many thoughts flying through his mind that he couldn't keep track of them. He almost couldn't believe what was happening right now.

He had remembered who Juliet was. She was.... well, to put it nicely, she was a brat who only cared about money and fame. She was Scout's friend, before she tried to steal Andy away from her.

And somehow he ended up driving her to their first destination for tour, all the way to the hotel that night.
