Facing The Mirror

Andy Biersack

Renee POV

I knew who he was before he told me his name. I listen to his music. Black Veil Brides was one of my favorite bands. I was in shock at what he said. I was even more surprised that I could speak.

"Hello. I'm Renee. I know who you are. I love your band. You're performing for the festival tomorrow." I said trying not to stutter. I was nervous from being in a new environment and talking to Andy that I couldn't believe I was not having a panic attack.

He smiles giving his face a more boyish look. The look all girls fan girl over.

" Yeah. Are you going to be there?" He said as he leaned closer so I could hear him over the music. I swallowed hard as I smelled the spicy masculine cologne he was wearing.

"You can come with me backstage." He said as I felt the wind from his breath blow against my ear. I was about to tell him I was with Adam but Adam beat me to it.

"Sorry to burst your bubble but she'll be there with me." Adam said as he stood by my side.

Adam must have heard Andy. I felt my face flush in embarrassment. Andy wasn't finished yet.

"Didn't we tour last year? You had some blonde following you around that would be considered your girlfriend." Adam took a sip of his drink as Andy waited for a response.

"We're not together anymore. I could ask you the same question. Aren't you dating that rocker chick that also toured with us? What was her name? Wasn't it Juliet?" Andy's face was calm but after hearing Juliet's name it twisted into an angry sneer.

"We divorced last year and I've been single ever since. Unlike you who is probably still with that blonde but seeing someone on the side." Andy said angrily.

I didn't know what to do. Maybe something happened when they last toured together and now they hated each other. Adam got closer to Andy. They stood eye to eye as if they were doing a stare down. I was afraid they were going to start fighting so I tried to get between them.

"You think your the shit Gontier but we both know you're an asshole. Renee can do much better with a real man than a wannabe." Adam started to laugh.

"A real man? I don't see a man. I see a kid trying to act like a man. If you talk to Renee or even glance at her you'll have to deal with me."

I was thinking they were both being immature. I glanced around to see if I could find someone to help me diffuse the situation. I noticed Batman staring in my direction and waved to him to come over. I noticed we were attracting an audience with the guys yelling at each other. Batman reached us and got between Adam and Andy to push them away from each other.

"We don't need any publicity. The two of you need to calm the fuck down and use all that adrenaline for the show tomorrow. If y'all start to fight don't think I won't fight the both of you. So calm down and walk away from each other." Batman said as Oliver also came to help.

"I'll join the fight too. I'm ready for a brawl."

Andy glanced at everyone then kept his eyes steady on Adam.

"We'll finish this some other time." He said then turned his blue eyes on me.

"Nice meeting you Renee. Maybe we'll see each other again soon." He smiled and then turned to walk away.

"Don't count on it." Adam said loud enough for Andy to hear. Andy kept walking until he disappeared into the crowd.
