Don't Forget [Andy Biersack]

Chapter 16

Finally updated! I'm not going to pin a day on my next updat, otherwise I'll end up forcing the story out of me, and my heart will break if I have to do that with Kalli and Andy.

Enjoy this chapter and the song is to the side ♥

After we officially announced that we were a couple, I seemed to be getting a hell of a lot of hate. So I did the best a girl could do. 

I ignored it.

The guys relentlessly teased Andy for the next few days with how soppy he acted on the stickam, whereas the girls found it incredibly cute.

This caused a debate on who was now the cutest couple within the group. It seemed that we were against Jinxx and Sammi. Which didn't  bother us, because it was a fact of who loved/cared for who.

And I wasn't going to lie, but I could tell how much Andy cared for me. He looked after me and made sure that I was coping since the incident with my dad, and when the court date came through, I felt myself slip back into my old state.

I'd gotten quieter with the guys and I prefered to stay in my room for the majority of the days.

Because none of the guys or girls could understand what I went through, I felt isolated and alone, even when we spent time together as a group.

The court case day rolled around and I was petrified. I'd gotten to know and I started trusting the lawyer, which meant that I was able to speak on the camera. I'd also agreed to have Sammi and Andy in the room with me, whilst the others remained in the courtroom.

Glancing at Andy, I struggled to smile as we sat outside the courtroom. My body was trembling slightly and I felt the tears well up.

Within a second, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"There's nothing to be scared about Kalli, you won't see him." 

"He'll still see me though. And what if he gets a short sentence? He'll be after my blood." I wrapped my arms around his waist and he held me tightly.

"Miss Terrix?" I looked up to see an officer who was approaching us. "You've been called up for the cross examination." I felt panic bubble up in my chest as I nodded my head numbly. Sammi appeared at that moment and she stood the other side of me as we walked into the room.

There were three chairs, one was in front of a camera and two were just to the side, hidden from sight. I took a seat hesitantly as I struggled to keep my emotions in check.

"Miss Terrix, can you hear us clearly?" 

"Yes sir." 

I repeated the oath and I felt my hands start to shake as I looked at the camera.

"Miss Terrix, can you describe what life had been like for you before you participated in your school's programme which sent you across the country?"

"It was hell." My voice sounded raspy, so I cleared my throat. "After mum died, it went downhill from there. I understood that dad was suffering from his grief, and so I gave him his space. But no matter how perfect I tried to be, I ended up with cuts and bruises across my body." I struggled to stop myself from slipping into the memories, but I managed it.

"What weapons would Mr Terrix use to inflict the pain?" I flinched at this and let out a shaky sigh.

"Glass bottles, his belt, even his own hand. He enjoyed using the glass because if small pieces got stuck, it caused more pain for me when my skin healed." I heard Sammi gasp and I forced myself not to look at Andy.
