Andy's POV

I was sitting with my friends, well bandmates now, in Jinxx's garage twisting a microphone wire in my hand and awkwardly smiling at their conversation. "Damn, Ash is always late." CC, real name Christian, scowled. "He said he's bringing that girl again, you know, 'Little C'?" Jinxx said back, with a smile on his face. "Yes! Little C is awesome. Too damn bad Ash called dibbs on her, she's hot." CC smiled, taking his drum sticks out of his jean pocket and hitting the cymbol softly. I wanted to be apart of the conversation too, I was just the new kid in the band, so I perked up, "Emo hot or preppy hot?" They both smiled, "Emo hot." I laughed and took out my phone. I heard a girls laugh and Ash came in, holding hands with Lilah.

Her phone beeped, she took it out of her jacket pocket and smiled when she flashed the screen. She typed something and put it back in her pocket. My phone beeped. She looked up at me and blushed. "Andy, you must be the new singer!" she stuttered on her words, too damn cutely. I nodded while Ash said "Hey great! You two know eachother! I forgot that he now goes to your school, C!" She blushed again and nodded. I confusingly said "C?" Jinxx answered like I've should've knwon this already. "Yeah, CC made it up, she's little C cause shes like a little sister to us, oh and CC had a crush on her when we met her, so thats how the nickname came up." "Aww you guys are cute! haha.", she said sarcastically and she punched Jinxx in the arm. She came over and sat next to me. "Well hello, Lilah. We meet again." I announced, in a British accent, trying to be funny. I probably looked stupid though. I felt stupid. "Lilah?" Ash asked. Yup, I though, I'm really stupid. I stuttered back, "oh you know, like the 'lila' at the end of Ceceilia? I made it Lilah and I've been calling her that cause the assholes in school call her Cece to make fun of her." I felt really, really stupid. They laughed. "Damn Andy your face is beet red, you okay?" CC mocked, they all laughed, even Liliah a little. "Oh shut it guys, I like Liliah, it's cute!" she said, cuter than nessacery.

After a while they got distracted from laughing at me and we started practice. Half way through we took a break and CC & Ash went to pick up hot-wings they ordered from a place down the street. Jinxx was upstairs convincing his mom to have us all stay a while longer. "So," I started, "You were holding hands with Ash when you came in. Are you two dating?" She blushed and shooted back, "Oh no, he's like my bestfriend & more like a brother to me." "Oh." I sighed.

"Listen-"

"Listen-"

She blushed and I noticed we had said the same thing at the same time.

"Oh, you go first"

"No, you,"

"Andy it's alright you go."
"Oh. Ohkay, I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I felt I was too forward with grabbing your arm and hugging you like that when we had just met. I was just worried why such a pretty girl would cut herself and hate her life." I surely looked like an idiot. I was glad the guys weren't there cause I was most likely blushing more than earlier.

"Oh dear, thats alright i understand. It's been getting a little better actually," she showed me her wrist,"See? I didn't cut last night."

I counted, 36, not one more than yesterday. "Uhm" she asked, "why are you counting them?" I blushed, "Making sure theres the same amount as yesterday." I felt creepish, but she smiled and grabbed my arm. "39." she counted. "Same as yesterday." She blushed and spoke again, "I secretly counted yours, too." I laughed, she smiled a little. "Oh come on." I said, "I haven't seen you smile, a REAL smile, in the two days I've known you. Smile dammit!" She laughed and smiled, it didn't look forced, I felt like I was blushing.

Jinxx came back and helped the guys open the garage door, it was broken, and we ate. Liliah didn't eat alot, either did I. I don't get hungry anymore. I was getting ready to leave, "My parents will get worried" I explained, I went over to Lilah to say goodbye, "Hey Lilah, I forgot to ask what you wanted to say to me earlier?" I forgot she had something to say when she insisted I went first. "Oh, (she was blushing now.) I just wanted to say that I think you're a good singer. I didn't know you could scream! The only person I know who could was Ash, and he's been trying to teach me. I just can't get it right." "Thanks," I smiled, "Maybe I could try and teach you sometime."

She smiled that damn cute smile and I walked out to my car.

I got in and drove away, taking the long way. I pulled over and punched the steering wheel, right in the center. "STUPID!" I shouted, and I felt it. The horn went off when I punched it and scared the shit out of me. I looked like an idiot in front of Lilah, she laughed at me too. I got home and went straight to my bed. I layed down and took my phone out. I had a message from Lilah.

"I'm taking you up on that scream deal."

I smiled and shut my eyes.

I could really fall for this girl.

(I'm loving this! It's so fun to write!)
