With the pain that you drain from love

In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world

'Cause Andy, you're a star

Leave your number on the locker and I'll give you a call

Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah

Leave your legacy in gold on the plaques that line the hall

Andy, You're A Star by The Killers

After clearing security, Elena and Damon headed to the dressing rooms to find any of the band members.

"Elena!"

"Oh, hey stranger." Elena said jokingly. Caroline had spent two days with the band without calling Elena.

Caroline shrugged of the comment. "I can't believe you just got here."

She led them to the stage's stairs. They stood on the left side waiting for the show to begin.

"You're a pretty face, you should like me. I want to get used by you. 'Cause I'm full of hate, just excite me. I want to get bruised by you."

Elena felt uncomfortable. She could feel daggers coming from Damon. She didn't know why the song bothered him. It wasn't a love song.

"We scowl and screw away the pain, but I'm up for it if you are..."

"Now alone in your bed we'll prove, you do not have to love to be in pain, boo. The truth is, you should lie with me." Andy finished singing and discarded the guitar.

Elena, Damon, and Caroline were 30 minutes into the set. The crowd was eating up the performance. Elena was proud of the band for selling out the venue. She checked the time on her phone, the band had a few songs left.

Andy unhooked the mic and shifted his hips seductively. "Phone sex, any takers?" He joked to the audience.

Caroline choked with laughter. Elena rolled her eyes.

He opened the song, dancing up and down the stage. "If I die and go to hell real soon, it will appear to me as this room. And for eternity I'd lay in bed in my boxers, half stoned, with the pillow under my head."

"At this rate, I'll be heading for electric chairs. I'm only human with my cross to bear. When she described her underwear..." Andy lewdly smiled, while dancing.

He played the chorus on the keyboard. Elena danced to the beat. The song was meant to be hysterical.

"You're too young to be this empty girl. I'll prepare you for a..." The crowd finished the lyric. "Sick dark world!"

Andy nodded and continued playing. "Know that you'll be my downfall. But I call and I call and I call."

By the end of the song, the fans were humorously chanting. "I called her on the phone and she touched herself. She touched herself. I laughed myself to sleep."

Caroline was in a fit of giggles. She had never seen the song performed live. Elena joked about popping her phone sex cherry. Damon simply raised a brow at their exchange.

Andy bowed playfully and picked up his guitar.

"If you know the words, I want to hear them!" Sam, the co-vocalist and guitarist, addressed the crowd.

The crowd jumped at Andy's opening lyrics, "I want to know your plans and how involved in them I am."

At the climax, Andy played a solo on the keyboard, while singing, "If you could forgive me for being so brash, well you, you could hit me or whip me. I'd savor each lash."

Andy jumped down to the barricade and leaned over it. The fans overwhelmed him. He held the mic out for them to sing. "I'll look out for you 'til I die, 'til I rot."

"I'll remember you 'til I die, until I rot."

Security pulled Andy away from the fans. He returned to the stage and finished the song: "You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead."

"Time to turn things down." Andy picked up an acoustic guitar.

The band played softly, while Andy and Sam strummed.

Sam picked up the pace, while singing, "I don't know what to do if once more I lose you. It will tear me in two"

"Please run, please run. Please run away with me. Please come, please come. Please come and stay with me." Andy was singing the chorus with overwhelming emotion.

Elena and Caroline were singing along. It was a fan favorite. People in the crowd were holding up lighters.

"If you should go right now." Sam sung in between.

"Maybe someday we, together can be the king and queen." Andy repeated over and over.

The crowd clapped in appreciation.

Andy started undressing. Damon glanced over to the girls.

"Um, what?" Caroline's eyes widened.

The girls in the front row were screaming "take it off".

"What the fuck is he doing?" Elena turned to Caroline.

Caroline had no idea. The band never discussed the finale of the show.

Andy stripped down to his dark gray jeans, suspenders and white undershirt. The girls in the front row were still swooning.

"One more, make it count!" Sam shouted. "We dedicate this song to our hometown."

"...you know I'm feeling down again." Andy opened. "...but so what else is new?"

The fans went crazy.

"This isn't good." Elena said warily.

"I can't believe it." Caroline replied.

Damon didn't know why the girls were worried.

Elena and Caroline were dazed by the heated performance. The song was written before the band existed. Andy normally denied requests to perform it.

Crowd surfers went over the barricade trying to reach the band.

"...Tear your clothes off with my teeth like some unruly uncaged beast from your forehead to your feet." Sam was singing. "I felt that night with you. Drug-like release, the sheets engulfing you."

Andy climbed one of the large speakers. The band members continued playing as if nothing was happening.

From the top of the speaker, about 30 feet up, Andy leaned towards the crowd.

"And I'm sinking slowly into nothing. Nothing matters. Give me something I can hold onto." He whispered into the mic.

"Only you can save me. SAVE ME!" He shouted desperately. "Can save me."

"Know that I need you." He recited in a normal voice.

"You, don't think he's going to, uh, jump?" Caroline had trouble asking Elena.

Elena didn't respond.

Andy stepped to the very edge of the speaker.

Caroline gasped. Damon noticed Elena shut her eyes.

Andy took a seat on the edge of the speaker. His feet were dangling in the air. His handsome face covered in a tortured expression.

Elena let out a breath. Damon had heard her heart change at different times during the song. He wasn't sure what to conclude from the events.

Sam finished the song without Andy. "I want you. I'm dying for you. Here in my heart where my veins are combusting for you. All that I've learned I unlearned. And I'm falling for you now."

The crowd went wild during the entire song. The fans made a commotion for the band to play 'one more song', but it never happened, because security took over. Two security guards dealt with Andy still sitting on the speaker.

Elena ran off in the direction of Andy's dressing room. She knew something was seriously wrong. What if he hurt himself?

Caroline went looking for Nick and Ryan to get an explanation. They didn't know why Andy did it, but the stunt likely banned the band from the venue.

Ten minutes later, Elena and Andy were exchanging verbal blows. Damon heard them outside the locked door. The dressing room had thick walls, so the words were muffled.

He heard Andy say, "I'll never forgive... how could this happen... this always happens to me... I'm trying my best... it can be impossible... why don't you... you need..."

Elena responded with, "However you need... maybe I can... I don't know... I haven't told him... please give me... still have plenty... don't do this..."

Damon's heart broke listening to the conversation. He couldn't handle Elena's betrayal. She was keeping secrets from him.

Damon stormed off.

Damon drove and drove in the direction of Mystic Falls.

A half hour later, Elena looked around the venue for Damon. She couldn't find him anywhere. His car wasn't in the parking lot.

She called him, but it went to voicemail every time.

She didn't know what to do.
