Chapter 5 She Looks So Perfect

Andy's P.O.V

I watch her as she leaves me dumbfounded. She doesn't remember me. She doesn't remember the kiss. I groan and throw my hands up in defeat. The halls were empty except for a couple stray students walking down the hall. I kicked a locker in frustration and someone glares at me.

"Mr. Biersack! Don't damage school property! Now get to class." the principle states angrily.  I mutter a string of profanities and head off to my class. The late bell rang and I wasn't even close to class. I don't care. I walk unwillingly towards my homeroom reaching it minutes after the late bell.

"Ah well hello there Mr. Biersack. Take a seat." the teacher says and I head to the back taking a seat in the corner. The teacher drones on about a lesson but I don't pay attention. Time ticks by dreadfully slow.

"Andrew." the teacher says and I look at him annoyed.

"You're needed in the office." he states handing me a slip. I walked out glad that I was leaving the classroom. That's when I saw her. She was walking away her back to me. She glances back and sees me looking at her then returns her attention to the floor. I sigh and walk after her.

"Hey..." I greet her.

"Just stay away from me." she mumbles walking faster. I grab her wrist and she flinches.

"Hey...I'm sorry...I just thought that you....remembered me." I say letting her go.

"Why would I remember you?" she says harshly making me flinch.

"I-I...." I stop and watch as she leaves me for probably the third time. My chest aches with an unbearable feeling like someone took my heart out of my chest and stomped on it mercilessly. She hates me. She absolutely hates me. Of course she would. Why wouldn't she? I'm worthless. And she's perfect. After she rounds the corner my feet start working again and I towards the office. Once I get there I pass Emma trying to hide my emotions. The principal comes out and looks at me sadly.

"Mr. Biersack....I...um....come with me please...." he says glumly.

"Why? What happened?" I ask.

"Its...its about your mother...." he states and I gasp slightly.

"Tell me." I reply frozen in place.

"I don't think you would like to hear this in front of so many people." he says looking around at the students and staff. I shake my head.

"You can tell me here." I say holding my ground. He sighs and looks into my eyes.

"Your mother is dead. She died in a car accident earlier today. Your father is okay but your mo-."

"No." I state shaking my head.

"Andrew...I'm sorry but-"

"Stop. You're lying." I reply, my hands shaking slightly.

"I'm sorry." he says and wraps his arms around me. I push him away and stumble back.

"Get away. Just go." I say tears forming in my eyes. I inhale sharply taking it all in. She's dead. My mom is dead.

"Mr. Biersack...." Mr. Robinson starts but I hold up a hand.

"Stop. Just stop. Get the fuck away from me." I say tears falling freely. I quickly run out of the office and off the school grounds.

Emma's P.O.V

I watch as Andy runs out tears streaming down his face.

"Can someone go after him please?" Mr. Robinson asks. I stand up and walk out of the office. I look for him in the empty halls but find them deserted. I walk around and look outside of the school grounds. I found him leaning against a tree. I sigh and walk over to him. He looks up at me and turns away.

"Go away. I don't need anymore heartbreak today." he states tears streaming down his pale cheeks.

"I'm...I'm sorry." I reply honestly.

"For what?"  he asks grabbing something from his pocket.

"For what I said earlier and about your mom." I tell him. He flinches when I mention his mom.

"It's fine." he mumbles pulling out a pack of cigarettes. He pulls one out and lights it. At least he wasn't crying anymore. He takes a drag and blows it out.

"So why are you here princess?" he asks looking at me with curiosity.

"Mr. Robinson told me to come get you." I say.

"Well go back and tell him you can't find me. I'm not going back." he says taking another drag.

"Why do you do that?" I ask regretting it.

"Do what?" he asks blowing the smoke in my face making me cough.

"Smoke." I state and he shrugs.

"It calms me. You wouldn't understand. Now run along and go tell the principal I ran off." he says waving me off.

"Why are you like that? First you kiss me and now you act like you don't give a shit." I say angrily.

"Why are you so uptight? Loosen up a bit." he replies nonchalantly.

"You're so stubborn." I say.

"Ouch. I'm hurt. Really I am." he tells me walking away, "Honestly...you were more fun drunk." And with that he walks off. I stand there trying to process what just happened. I sigh. Is he calling me boring? I could be fun. I don't need alcohol to be fun. I'll show him.

"Wait!" I yell running up to him. He stops and looks at me taking another drag from his cigarette. He arches his eyebrows amused.

"Yes?" he asks towering over me.

"I could be fun. I'm not boring." I tell him and he looks at me confused.

"Oh really?" he challenges.

"Yes." I state. He chuckles and shakes his head.

"I don't think so sweetheart. You're too...innocent." he says crossing his arms. My anger builds up inside me.

"I'm not innocent." I spat back. He throws his head back and laughs loudly.

"I think you have to rethink that darling." he says, my anger boiling inside me.

"I'm not fucking innocent." I reply annoyed.

"Oh yea?" he asks as I cross my arms. He leans in and at first I think he's going to kiss me again but instead he leans in towards my ear.

"Show me." he states and nibbles lightly making me gasp. He pulls away smirking and walks off.
