Alex

So far my relationship with Andy has been going great, amazing even. All that ended today when I found something out from one of my students, who I was close with, as I helped her with her problems since she seemed to talk to no one else. I was pretty good friends with her Mom as well, the one and only Juliet Simms. But what her daughter told me today, made me want to cry, scream, and even hit something.
I left the school in a hurry at the end of the day, not saying good-bye to anyone that passed me and spoke to me. I think they all could tell I was about to blow up. I basically ran to my car and jumped in, speeding off back home. I blared music from my stereo, as I turned it all the way up and continued speeding down the road. I reached my house about ten minutes later and turned my car off as I got out of it and slammed the door shut. I saw Andy’s car was in the driveway, so I knew for sure he was home. I went to the door and unlocked with my key, and walked in, slamming it behind me.

“Andrew Dennis Biersack!” I shouted. “Get your ass down here, right now!” I threw my keys on the table and crossed my arms over my chest as I heard the sounds of running footsteps, coming down the stairs, and now into the hallway, till he ran over to me.

“Babe? Is everything okay? What happened?” He rushed out, looking worried.

“I don’t know ‘babe’. Why don’t you tell me what the fuck happened?!” I continued to shout.

“Whoa, Lex, what the hell did I do?”

“How many times in this relationship have I told you not to call me Lex?!”

“Sorry, sorry. Look, whatever I did. I didn’t mean it. Please tell me what’s on your mind.” He said, using a calming voice as he tried to calm me down. Yeah, that’s not happening.

“How about you tell me how long you have been whipping your dick around for other people!” I shouted.

“What?” He asked confused, but looked a little nervous.

“Oh my fucking gosh, Andy! How long have you been fucking cheating on me with Juliet!”

“Babe, I could never cheat on you! I love you!”

“I can tell when you fucking lie! Tell me the truth, Andrew!”

“Don’t use my full name!” He said, raising his voice his time.

“Then stop fucking lying and tell me what I know is the fucking truth!”

“You know what! Fine! Yes, I have been cheating on you! I have been fucking Juliet for the past year!” He shouted in my face. I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces.

“You fucking prick!” I said as I shoved him away from me. “How could you do this to me?!”

“I needed someone who could satisfy my fucking needs! You can’t do shit in bed!”

“Sorry that I have a fucking dick instead of a fucking vagina!”

“You know what! I’m not having this fucking conversation with you! I’m going back up to the fucking room, you can sleep on the fucking couch tonight!”

“No! You can’t tell me what the fuck I can do!”

“Really Alex? We both know I’m the man in this relationship!”

“Yeah, you’re a man alright. One who fucks other people behind their fiance’s back!”

“At least she knows how to fuck!”

“Whatever happened to all those words you told me?! All the ‘I love you’s’? All of it was a fucking lie wasn’t it?!”

“You know damn well that none of that shit was a lie!”

“You hurt me Andy. You told me you would never fucking hurt me! You hurt me worse than my fucking ex!”

“I can at least bet that Jack is a better lay than you are!”

“We don’t say his fucking name in our house!”

“Our house? Not anymore! Get the fuck out! We’re done!”

“Fine! I’ll be back for my shit whenever I can! Fuck you!” I shouted as I grabbed my keys off the table and opened the door with such force it bagged off the wall. I blinked quietly as I made my way over to my car, keeping my tears at bay. I can’t be crying while driving. I know the perfect place I can go, and vent my feelings out to a fucking bartender. I turned my car on and sped out of the driveway, and made my way to the 24/7 bar down the street. It took about two minutes to get there, so when I did I stepped out of my car andbasically ran into the bar. I quickly took a seat at the end of the bar stand and called over the waiter.

“Hey Alex. What can I get for ya?” Gary, the bartender spoke, as he knew me for coming in here pretty often.

“I need a bottle of vodka.” I spoke as I felt the tears start to fall as I put my head down on my arms. He walked away for a minute, and then came back.

“You know we normally don’t give out bottles, but I can see you really need it. So here you go.”

“Thanks.” I muttered as I took the bottle and started draining it down my throat. About three minutes later, I had half the bottle gone when the tears came in full swing. I put my head down on my arms and cried into my sleeves.

“Alex.” I heard a voice whisper. I lifted my head up, and who I saw, just broke my heart even more. “Holy shit. Alex, are you okay? Why are you crying?” He rushed.

“Just go away and leave me alone, Jack.” I said as I put my head down again.

“I’m not going to just walk away, Alex. Talk to me. We used to be able to talk to each other, without holding anything back.” He spoke.

“Yeah, well that got fucked up years ago. Now leave me the fuck alone.”

“Alex. Lift up your head and talk to me. We both know damn well that I will not be walking away from you crying any fucking time soon.” I groaned, in defeat, knowing he was right, he wouldn’t just walk away if I was crying.

“What the hell are you even doing in Baltimore?”

“I live here. Well, when I’m not on tour with my band, that is.”

“And why the fuck do you live here?”

“First off, you cuss a lot more than I remembered. Secondly, I don’t really know why I live here. It’s a nice place though. Now tell me why you are crying.”

“Remember Andy? My boyfriend after you?” I started.

“Yeah.” He said with a sigh as he looked behind me, avoiding eye contact.

“Yeah, well, we got engaged two years ago. Well, guess what I found out today? That he has been cheating on me with the one and only Juliet fucking Simms for the past year.”

“Juliet Simms, the singer?” He asked, sounding shocked.

“You are not the only one who grew up to be famous Jack. You know that band, Black Veil Brides?”

“Yeah. Pretty awesome music.”

“Yeah, well the singer. Andy.” I stated.

“Whoa. That’s Andy? Damn he got hotter over the past five years.” He chuckled.

“Yeah, not fucking helping Barakat.” I said glaring at him.

“Right. Sorry. But he was cheating on you for over a year? How did you find out?”

“I’m a music teacher at my old high school, Juliet’s daughter is one of my students. She told me.”

“Fuck Alex. I’m sorry. I wish I could help.” He looked truly saddened by my story.

“Oh, would you like to know the worst part of it all? Yeah, I’m homeless now that Andy kicked me out of the house. But it’s whatever. I’m sure Gary won’t mind me staying here at the bar till I can actually get a place.”

“Wait, he kicked you out of your house?” He questioned, looking very confused.

“It was Andy’s house. I moved in with him after college.”

“That doesn’t give him the fucking right to leave you homeless!” Jack spoke, raising his voice and looking pretty pissed off, if you asked me.

“Yeah, whatever. It’s done and over with.” I said as I grabbed my bottle of vodka and started drinking from it again. I took the bottle away from my mouth and looked down at my finger. Seeing the ring Andy gave me when he asked me to marry him. I felt more tears trail down my cheeks as I took the ring off my finger and threw it on the bar stand. I saw Jack’s eyes go to the ring, and I couldn’t help but see in his eyes, a little hint of hope, but I don’t know what for. He looked back over at me and I quickly took my eyes and placed them back on the bar stand.

“I forgot to mention, I like what you did with your hair. The pink suits you.” He said, I could tell he was trying to lighten the mood.

“Uh..thanks...your’s looks nice as well. I can see you are keeping up with the blonde patch.”

“Haha, yeah. Everyone seems to dig it, so why not?” He said with a small smile, which I couldn’t help but return. “Can I ask you something?”

“Go ahead. I already vented to you. So why the fuck not?”

“If I asked you to move in with me, what would you say?” He spoke. When the words left his mouth, I almost spit my vodka out as I looked at him with wide eyes.

Notes

Well, fuck you too, Andy.

Well shit Jack! Just meet Lexy again after five years, and ALREADY asking him to move in with you?!
Ha reminds me of the first night they met at that party all those years ago.
