Patrick and I dropped Piper back home safely with Gerard. By the time we arrived to our talking place (aka the cemetery) it was seven o'clock at night. We walked through the cemetery gates to sit on a rusted metal bench. "So where do I start?" Patrick asked as I looked up at the sky. The moon was full and bright, almost lighting up the ground.

"The beginning." I retorted and looked over at the man as he stared at nothing, probably pondering at where the beginning was even.

"So I'll talk about Andy's upbringing. He had a perfect childhood, this was until his parents exposed him to vampirism. Unlike most of us Biersack was born a vampire like Ray." Patrick explained taking a pause to think some more.

"Like Ray?" I questioned, confused at what he was implying.

"I'll explain that momentarily." Patrick informed and carried on. "See the vampire colony (the uptight bastards that helped the local vampire kingdom run) did not like Andy and his family. The Biersack family tried to bring peace between humans and vampires. The colony rejected this idea and ratted out Andy's parents as vampires to the local human town that the Biersack lived in. The parents were murdered in front of the whole town."

"Oh my God, that's so cruel." Some part of me understood what Andy had felt since I saw my father dead right in front of my very eyes.

"Yep, the colony told Andy that humans were horrible and heartless. This made the boy murderous and very hateful." He nodded. "That's pretty much Andy's story."

"I just thought he was just an asshole. I mean he still is but his childhood sounds so tragic." I felt sympathy but I still knew Andy was a very bad man. "But why does Andy despise Gerard and I so goddamn much?"

"That is something I do not know very well." Patrick admitted while looking back over at me as I sat quietly, interested in every word. "I believe that when Andy met Gerard he saw many features of his past, good self on him. From my own perspective I think Andy wants to torment Gerard to make him feel the pain he once did. This means taking away the one's he love."

"But how did Gerard and Andy even meet?" I questioned getting quite confused at where Gerard was pulled into all of this mess.

"Well Andy met Gerard back in eighteen twenty-eight, Andy of course hated him from the get-go. Like I said Gerard was very similar to the good side of Andy and he wanted to destroy that. So on April ninth of eighteen twenty-nine Andy killed him in the center of a restaurant, he decided to turn Gerard into a vampire to torment him for the rest of eternity." I wasn't sure if I could decipher any of that information. Some of it I could understand but Andy barely had a motive to murder Gerard.

"It's odd to hear about my fiancé dying. I forget he's not technically alive." I replied with a slight chuckle. Not from actual amusement, more so just to make my reply light-hearted.

When looking down at my phone the time read seven fifty-five. I remembered I still needed to get Piper to bed and get myself ready for bed, as well as work the next day.

"Need to get home?" Patrick questioned looking over at me as I locked my phone so the bright screen would turn black and suit the whole melancholy, creepy vibe we had stirring.

Although I was dying to hear more stories I knew I couldn't spend the whole night with a bunch of corpses...oh and Patrick as well. "Yeah, before Gerard has a fit." I giggled softly, knowing he will most likely be a little agitated at me for hanging out with Patrick all day.

"Alright, we have loads of stories for next time then." He smiled and stood up grabbing his vehicle keys out of his jean's pockets.

"Finally!" I heard Gerard exclaim as soon as I stepped into our home. "So what was so important that you had to bring Piper home?"

I closed the door and looked into the living room to see Gerard sitting in the recliner, the one next to the wall. "Patrick told me both Andy and your's background story." I grinned slightly, throwing my purse on the couch carelessly.

"Y'know you could've just asked me," He sighed and stood up, walking into the kitchen. "wait how does he know 'bout me?"

"I don't know. He told me Andy killed you on April ninth of eighteen twenty-nine in the center of a restaurant. Is that right?" My question caught him off guard because he slowly turned around, taking a deep and shaky breath. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring back memories."

"I-It's fine, I just remembered what happened to Mikey afterwards and- it's alright." Gerard was almost in tears which I didn't blame him I couldn't imagine what it was like to know that your brother is technically dead.

"At least he's still with you babe." I smiled sadly, as much as I curious as to what happened to Mikey but that wasn't the time to find out.

"Yeah..." He replied and leaned against the counter, his palms pressed against the countertop "Piper is already in bed, also so is everyone else."

"Did you stay up for me?" I questioned knowing he most likely did because of how worried he got over me.

"Of course I did." He chuckled while walking out of the kitchen. "You know I can't sleep without you next to me.

"What did you do before me." I said and flipped my hair back, looking over my shoulder at Gerard who was rolling his eyes.

"Get high, hang out in woods," He snaked his arms around my waist before continuing his reply. "and stalk you."

"You're so fucking creepy!" I exclaimed in a soft tone breaking away from his embrace to look at him.

He smirked while looking down at the ground. "I know."
