Andy, You're Adopted. {Andy Biersack}

Chapter 7

SCARLETT POV

"There's really no other way to put this... I'm your brother, Scarlett."

Everything stopped. I didn't know how to react or what to say or anything really. My brain was barely functioning. I didn't really know what was even going on.

"What?" I managed to choke out in my state of pure shock.

"Im your brother." Andy repeated.

"How? That's like... Impossible..." I said, looking at him confusedly.

He put his arm around my shoulder and began to walk down the hall with me. Where was he taking me?

"Let's take a little walk to my bus. I'll explain on the way and then I'll show you the records I have in case you don't believe me." he said, slowly.

"Okay." I agreed, though having no choice.

The walk was actually silent for a few minutes. I looked up at Andy, and I really mean UP because I'm really short and he's really tall, and he had a look on his face. His expression looked like he was trying to figure out what to say.

"Here goes nothing..." he began nervously. "I found that I was adopted a few days ago. And then I decided to find my birth parents. I went to the agency. And they gave me some records. When I looked through them, it said my parents were dead. Are your parents dead?"

I nodded. This wasn't something I really wanted to talk about.

He looked at me sympathetically but continued on. "I found some records that they had a daughter. You. And you went to school here. So, I came to find you. And here I am. I'm your brother."

I don't know if I believed him. I guess I'll just wait until I see the records to decide.

ANDY POV

"Are your parents dead?" I asked, not knowing what her reaction would be.

She just nodded looking solemn. I felt bad, but I didn't ask any questions. This was obviously not something she felt comfortable talking about.

After I explained the rest of the situation, I waited to see what she would say. She didn't really say anything. I could tell she was confused. And she did t really know me, her guard was up. I knew it wouldn't come down anytime soon. I don't blame her.

That bubbly girl in the music room, just playing music disappeared. I think it had something to do with our parents' death. I immediately regretted bringing it up.

By this time we got to the bus and I showed her inside. I got the records out and we sat down to look at them. When I explained the story again, I had the records to back up my story.

Scarlett was still solemn and guarded. She looked... Numb. Almost like she couldn't feel anything, like she had no emotions whatsoever. I hoped I could get her to open up to me. Although I kinda had a bad feeling about this. Maybe, it's just my mind trying to make me nervous. I hope so...

SACRLETT POV

I had no choice but to believe Andy. He has proof. And this entire thing makes sense.

Dammit! My walls were up again. I didn't mind before I believed him but now I know he's telling the truth. He wasn't lying. He's proving himself trustworthy so far.

No matter how hard I try, my walls won't come down. I hate this about myself. It happens all the time. Freaking trust issues. I can't help it. I hope I'm not giving Andy the wrong impression.

ANDY POV

"Scarlett?" I ask, nervous. She's just sitting there and staring straight ahead of her, barely blinking. What the fuck?

"Im sorry." she says blankly.

"For what?" I ask confused.

"I'll tell you later." she replied. This was starting to freak me out. I was worried about her.

"Come here..." I said, getting up. She followed and I got out I mirror. I made it so we could both see each other in the mirror.

"Look, we have the same-" I began.

"Eyes." she finished, looking intrigued.

Then, she took out her phone to check the time, it seemed. Her eyebrow furrowed and she looked deep in thought.

"They're gonna be serving lunch in five minutes. We should go get a seat." she said.

"You want me to sit with you." I asked, amazed.

"Of course, you're my brother aren't you?" she said with a smirk.

I laughed. So this girl does have feelings. I felt bad for the way I was thinking earlier.

We got off the bus and started walking towards school grounds, in silence. It was a comfortable silence, not awkward. I could tell she was distracted by the way she looked around a lot. Her mannerisms made her seem like she was ADD, like me. Maybe she is...

Before we reached the steps to the grin door, Scarlett stopped. I stopped too and gave her a questioning look. I wasn't really prepared for what she did next.

She turned to me and hugged my torso tight. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged back. It made me a little Teary eyed to think that this was my little sister. And she accepted me. And she actually liked me. Here we were, hugging tight. This was a good brother/sister bonding moment.

I heard some sort of knocking. I looked up. There was CC, Ashley, Jinxx, and Jake all standing in a window watching and waving. I gave a smile and nod in response.

Scarlett began to loosen her grip so I loosened mine too. We let go of each other but I knew that moment was one of the reasons I had to come here, I knew his entire trip was worthwhile.

"C'mon, let's go get some good seats." she said, smiling at me.

And off we went.
