Chapter 9 American Idiot

Andy's P.O.V

I woke up to find Emma sound asleep next to me. Her head rested on my bare chest. I sigh in relaxation, my thoughts dozing to last night. I can't believe she asked me to stay with her. Does she actually like me? I quickly stand up, careful not to wake her and head into the shower. Thoughts of us, together, ran through my head. I shook the thoughts away concentrating on the sole fact that she'll be gone today. I quickly washed my hair and body, stepping out and wrapping a towel around my waist. I walk back into my room finding my bed empty.

"Emma?" I call out.

"In the kitchen." she replies. I get dressed quickly heading into the kitchen to find Emma on her toes reaching for a cup in the cupboards.

"Hey." I say making her jump.

"Ugh! You scared me! I'm too short to reach. Mind getting me a cup?" she asks and I smirk. I reach over and grab a cup, handing it towards her. Moments pass in silence. She searches through the fridge, grabbing our carton of milk and pouring herself a glass.

"Sooo." I mumble inwardly face palming.

"I...I should probably leave soon. My dad is going to kill me." she mutters drinking the milk and tossing the cup in the sink.

"Um...yea of course." I reply. Seconds pass before there is loud banging on the door. I walk towards the door and open it. A man stood there, obviously mad. For what reason, I don't know.

"Where is she?" he asks, fuming.

"Uh...who?" I ask oblivious.

"Emma. My daughter." he says. Well shit.

"Oh...um...s-she..." He pushes me aside walking past me into my kitchen.

"Emma?! What the hell are you doing here?!" he shouts, making Emma cringe. I stare at them.

"How did you find me?" she asks.

"Went to the principal today. I asked him for this idiot's address." he replies.

"I'm not an idiot." I retaliate.

"Oh yes you are. Now get out of my way. I'm taking my daughter home." he says grabbing Emma by her wrist and dragging her towards the door.

"Dad! I said I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself." Emma replies pulling away.

"You are too young to be here. Look at this boy! He's not good for you!" her dad yells. I raise my eyebrows and cross my arms.

"His mom just died!" she yells and my throat tightens. I'm not going to cry. Not in front of these people.

"Well I don't care. We're leaving now, Emma. Let's go."  he says. I snapped.

"Oh you don't care that my mom died?! Fuck you! You have no fucking respect for others! Emma tells me she is amazing in school yet you want her to be perfect. Guess what asshole! Nobody is perfect! Be fucking grateful you have her!" I scream. Emma rests her arm on my shoulder, calming me.

"I'm not going home right now dad. Just leave me alone." she says and her dad stands at the doorway stunned.

"Emma...if you don't come home with me right now. I'm going to call the cops on him."

"Why would the cops do anything? You're in his house! If the cops are going to arrest someone its going to be you!" Emma shouts, her face turning red. Wow. She's amazing...

Emma's P.O.V

I can't believe it. I just stood up to my dad. I glance at Andy and find him smiling at me.

"Emma...I want you home in two hours." He says before walking out sighing loudly. When he closed the door behind him I let out an exasperated breath.

"That was amazing. I can't believe you stood up to him." he says grinning like a madman. I laugh quietly. I am so dead. He's going to ground me until I'm eighty.

"Ugh...I just...he gets me so mad sometimes" I mutter looking at the ground. My phone rings, the loud music echoing through the house.

"Do you know

I count your heart beats before you sleep.

I bite my fingernails to bone (to bone)

Now-"

I answer it quickly.

"Hello?" I say.

"Oh my God! Emma! Where are you?!" Kimberly shrieks.

"Um...with a friend." I say glancing at Andy who was smirking.

"What friend? Do I know her?"

"Um actually...it's a boy. And yea you know him. He's the one I was with at the party." I murmur.

"Oh my God! Are you dating him?! Emma he's a bad boy!" she shouts.

"No I'm not dating him. And I'll call you later. I have to go."

"Kay...go ahead and make out with your boyfriend." she says before hanging up."

"Boyfriend huh?" Andy says with a smirk.

"What? No...she's just crazy." he laughs.

"I didn't know you like Pierce The Veil." He says.

"Yea I do. What about you? Do you like them?" I ask. He nods taking out his phone and hooking it up to a speaker.

"What about Falling in Reverse? My Chemical Romance? Suicide Silence?"

"Yes, Yes and yes."

"Can I show you some songs me and my friends made?" he asks and I nod. He searches through his phone before playing a song I've never heard before.

"It's called Rebel Love Song." he says and I smile. I sit on the couch.

"I cannot hide what's on my mind

I feel it burning deep inside.

A passion crime, to take what's mine.

Let us start living for today.

Never gonna change my mind.

We can leave it all behind.

Nothing's gonna stop us.

No not this time.

So take your hand in mine it's ours tonight

This is the Rebel Love Song..."

"This is amazing!" I yell over the loud music.

"You think so?" he asks and I nod.

"So are you in a band?" I ask.

"Well kinda. But yea." he replies.

"What's your guys' name?" I question.

"Black Veil Brides." he states.

"I like that name." I reply. The song draws to an end and another one plays.

"Falling In Reverse! I love this song." I say as Caught Like a Fly plays. Andy laughs smiling widley.

"So...Emma...I was wondering...do you...do you want to go out sometime?" Andy asks and my smile falters. What am I supposed to say? I like him but-wait...I like him? Since when do I like him? No. I don't I'm just flustered. I look down fumbling with my hands.

"Um...I don't know...I don't think that's a good idea." I whisper. I risk glancing up at him. His blue eyes looked pained but then he shook his head. He balled his hands into fists before replying.

"Yea...you're right. Sorry. It was stupid." he mumbles before standing up and heading into the kitchen. I sigh. Did I make the right choice?

A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while...I just haven't had any motivation until today to update this story. I don't know if I should continue this story.
