Andy grabbed his collection of Glee CDs, his collection of Friends seasons, his banjo, Erin's mix, and his keys, tipping the contents into the passengers seat of the car before putting Erin's mix in the CD player, harmonizing with each song as he drove around Scranton. He drove aimlessly for some time, before he reached the inevitable; Erin's house.
Erin was in her room, dancing around to 'Accidentally In Love' off Andy's CD, her hair brush serving as her microphone as she jumped off her bed. "C'mon, c'mon, we were once upon a time in looooooooovvveee." She sang at the top of her lungs, and those lyrics made her sniffle, because they were so true.
"Turn it down, Erin! And stop jumping off your bed!" Her foster brother, Reed, said angrily as he opened her door.
"Sorry." Erin smiled gultily, before turning the dial on her CD player down a few notches. "Maroon 5's 'Misery' began to pound from the speakers. Erin sang along, as it was an upbeat and catchy song, but it still had a darker meaning. Was Andy really in a 'misery' ever since broke up? Did he miss her as much as she missed him?
"Erin, I told you to turn it down!" She heard Reed snarl from downstairs.
"I did!" She called back.
"Really? Then why do I hear your favorite Taylor Swift song playing?" He challenged.
"I'm listening to Maroon 5!" She retorted, and stopped her music completly, and could now here Taylor Swift's 'The Other Side of the Door' playing faintly, then it started getting louder.
She heard a tap on her window, and then another tap. She unlatched her window and looked outside, and saw a very surprising scene. She recongized Andy's car, both door's open, the culprit of the blaring music. And then there was Andy, trying his best to aim pebbles at her window, and just as he realized she was leaning out of her window, he sent another pebble flying, narrowly missing her face.
He ran into the car and turned down the music.
"Erin!" He laughed. "What brings you here?"
"I might ask you the same question!" She called out her window. "Why are you blaring music out of your car, disturbing the neighbors, and throwing rocks at my window, vanalizing my home?"
"Don't you get it?" Andy grinned, and began to sing in his soothing voice, "I said, 'Leave,' but all I really want is you. To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles (he threw another one), screaming, 'I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!' Wait there in the pourin' rain, Come back for more. And don't you leave, 'cause I know all I need is on the other side of the door."
Erin postively beamed at him, before singing, "And I'll scream out the window, I can't even look at you, I don't need you but I do, I do, I do."
Andy broke into one of his signature grins. "Rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair!"
"I just cut it." Erin giggled.
"Rapunzel, rapunzel, please come downstairs!" He begged, and Erin titled her head. What if she did go downstairs? What if she did open the door? She broke up with him, she shouldn't give back in so easily. But she had stood her ground for so long, she hadn't given in easily, even when Andy held her a surprise birthday party at the office, or stopped Ryan from making fun or her at lunch. But those were the types of things she looked for in a boyfriend, so why wasn't she with him? And it was every girl's dream to have a boy throw pebbles at their window screaming I'm in love with you. It was a dream that had turned into reality, and was she really going to walk away from it? If song was true, and so far it had been for her, then all Erin needed was on the other side of the door.
She ran downstairs, two steps at a time.
"Reed, go upstairs." She commanded.
"But I'm watching 30 Rock!" He moaned.
"Out." She said, wide eyed.
"Oh, I see." He smirked. "You want to be alone with your boyfriend."
"He's not my boyfriend!" Erin snapped.
"Boyfriend!" Reed called as he walked out.
"Not!"
"Boyfriend!"
"No-" Erin began as she opened the door, but stopped aburtly as she saw Andy strum his banjo and began to sing, "Then I took you by surprise. I said, 'I'll never leave you alone.' I said, "I remember how we felt, sitting at the office. And every time I look at you, it's like the first time. I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine."
Erin's eyes sparkled with tears. "Why didn't you chase after me? After we broke up, why didn't you follow me?"
"I watched you, you know." He said seriously. "While you sat outside, I watched you from my car, making sure you were okay. I used to chase after girls, but they told me to leave them alone. I just didn't know the one girl I cared the most about, the one girl I loved so much I would respect her choice to be left alone, was the girl who actually wanted me to follow her."
There was a split second where Erin simply looked at Andy, before she crashed her lips against his. She knew she wasn't supposed to, but after tonight, getting back together was inevitable. Staying away from Andy was simply a game, they would always come back to each other. She had never meant to kiss him tonight, she originally thought. But that was because she had never meant to fall in love with him. It was an accident.
"I love you." She whispered when they finally parted.
"I love you too, Erin." Andy said, squeezing her in a tight hug.
"Your music is still on." She giggled as she heard Colbie Calliat's 'Begin Again' blaring from his car.
"Let it." Andy said, spinning her around, and they began to dance.
The End
