Once Loved.

Chapter 5

A week later my tattoo healed and I swear I already want another one. I wake up in Andy's arms and cuddle into him. He looks so cute when he sleeps. The only way he could be more perfect would be if he didn't smoke.

I reach up and lace my fingers into his soft black hair. I think I like it better short than long now that I know him. It suits him better.

My phone starts to ring waking him up before I can answer it. "Hello?"

"Marilyn Alexis Addams!" My mother's voice makes me bolt awake. "Where are you?!"

I knew this was going to happen but before I can say anything Andy takes the phone. "Hello? Mrs. Addams?" He pauses and I cringe at how loud she's being. "Yes ma'am. My name is Andrew Biersack ma'am. Yes I know. I love her." She goes quiet for a bit and I mouth I love you too. "Wait what was that? Ok. Alright. We'll be on the first plane we can get. Goodbye Mrs. Addams."

He hangs up and hands me the phone. "Look at you. Turning on the charm." I lean over and kiss his cheek before whispering "I love you more." into his ear.

"Get your stuff packed. Your mom wants to see me and if she says you can stay with me we won't be coming back here." He kisses the top of my head before I get up and go to get dressed. "Oh and no you don't." I can't help but smile at his words.

When I'm packed Andy and I check out and he drives us to the airport.

(A/N I hate writing about airports because I hate them so I'm going to skip it and the airplane ride so now they're in Virginia.)

I freeze up as we walk off the plane. Andy just wraps an arm around me and nudges me forward. "It's ok Marilyn. I love you." he kisses me lightly as we walk out of the airport and I see my mom.

She comes over to us, she actually doesn't look angry. "Marilyn I'm not happy with you for skipping Hollywood but I am looking forward to getting to know your boyfriend."

She leads us to the car and on the ride home I tell Andy all about the town and everything.

Andy loves the town and he gapes at the house as I lead him inside. Mom doesn't say a word as I lead him up to my room where I fall back on my bed.

"Your house is fucking amazing Marilyn. I mean god. How do you have a house like this?"

"My great-times like five-grandfather built it. It's just stayed in the family. I love it." I watch him as he walks over to the bookshelf and pulls out a photo album.

"You mind if I?" I shake my head and he sits beside me on the bed and plays with my hair as he flips through the book. "Who's this?" I sit up and squint at the blurry picture.

"That's my best friend Jack!" I pull out my phone and text him to come over. "You'll love him!"

"Ok..." he trails off as he turns the page. It's a picture of me standing next to my dad in a hospital bed. "Was this your-"

"My daddy." I slowly take the picture out of the album and look at it. I remember this day. It was close to the end.

*flaskback*

I blink as my mom takes the picture just before she leaves. I look back to my dad and he smiles at me. "Hey little girl. Come here and get in beside me."

I smile back at him and get into the hospital bed. "Dad are you scared?"

"No. I'm not scared. Mari death is the greatest adventure there is." I smile a bit at him, always about doing something. "And I know I'll get to see you again someday."

"I'll miss you so much Daddy. I don't want you to go!" I say holding back tears.

"I know how hard this is Mari. I'll miss you too but it's for the best." I can't hold back my tears and he hugs me as I cry. "How about we listen to some Black Veil Brides. That always cheers us up!"

I shake my head and pull my iPod out of my hoodie pocket. From there we start going through the entire discography.

*end flashback*

"You must miss him." Andy's voice breaks through my memory. "He called you Mari didn't he?"

"Yeah. That was his nickname for me. god he loved your band. He probably would have loved you."

"C-can I ask how he died?" He stutters. I nod slowly and he waits for me to elaborate.

I open my mouth but the words won't come due to the lump formed in my throat. I take a few deep breaths before choking out the answer. "Lung cancer. Because he smoked."

Andy's eyes go wide as he looks down at the cigarette pack in his hand. He slips it back in his pocket and hugs me. "I'm so sorry Mari." I don't feel angry at his use of my nickname. Coming from him it sounds right.

I clutch a handful of his shirt as I fight back tears. "It's ok Andy." He rubs my back and I can't help but let out the sobs.

"No it's not ok. You lost your dad and that must have sucked. I know you're hurt so I'll be here to comfort you. I promise honey."

"Thank you Andy." I whimper. We stay like that for a while until I hear a tap on my window. I go and open it so Jack can get in and he kisses me, catching me off guard.

"I've missed you Marilyn, but aren't you back early?"

I look over my shoulder to Andy who's fuming. "I never went. But I did find someone. A boyfriend."

"Oh shit! I'm so sorry for kissing you then. Who is he? Is he nice? You seem a lot different. Is it because of him?"

"Ummm...Andy. Yes and yes." I move so he can see Andy sitting on my bed. He couldn't before because he was engrossed with me and I was blocking that direction.

"Andy Biersack?!"

"The one and only. I must assume you are the best friend Jack? It's nice to meet you."

"Andy...Jack is also my ex boyfriend." I explain. "We were going to try to get back together when I came back but..."

"Marilyn it's fine." Jack says. "I'm sure you love him. and I'm sure he loves you. As long at you're happy." He smiles at me.

"I am happy. It's so great to see my BFF again." I say hugging him. "I'll call you tomorrow, we can hang out or something."

"Ok. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye Monroe!!!" He says climbing back out my window. I go back over to my bed and slide in beside Andy.

"You seem angry?" I ask.

"I don't know...I sorta am about the kiss but then he was so sincere with his apology. He calls you Monroe?"

"Yeah...because of my name. I hate it but gave up on stopping him."

"I kinda like it. But you're so much prettier with your black hair and green eyes..." he trails off undoing my hair from it's braid. He combs his fingers through my hair sighing. "So beautiful."

I blush and he chuckles. "Ok shut up." I say hiding my face. He rubs my back and I look back up at him. "Andy?"

"Yes Marilyn."

"Kiss me." It sounds pretty stupid to say but he doesn't laugh. He leans in and kisses me gently. "I love you."

"I love you too." he whispers back. "Come back to LA with me?"

I look up into his eyes and nod. "Of course Andrew, I'd love to."
