Andy's POV

I got to school and said goodbye to Emerson. It seemed like the conversation they had earlier, didn't even happen. I sighed and walked over to my friends. They were talking to Vic and Kellin. I'm glad they are getting along. It seems nice to have more people around.

"Hey, Andy! How did you sleep?" Jake called out.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Nice actually. Remington was a nice cuddle partner. He is like a giant stuffed bear." I joked and looked at Kelling and Vic who were jumping and smiling.

"So does that mean you like Remington!?" They asked together.

"Uh- I don't think I know him that well but he is a really sweet guy."

That's a lie. There is no doubt about it. I like Remington.

"So...there is a chance that you might like him?"

"Maybe? Why are you asking anyway?"

"Because He likes you a lot and would be so happy if you like him back-" Vic said quickly but I heard every word.

"VICTOR!" Kellin yelled and smacked Vic's arm.

"I know! I'm so sorry! Please don't tell Remington I told you! He would hate me and I don't want him to!" Vic pleads.

"I won't...but are you being serious?"

"Yes!"

"Vic! You are going to die if Remington finds out. He will hate you and me forever!"

"Relax. I don't think he'll hate you but from now on. I think it's best for people to not talk about this so no one will leak it around the school. If Remington finds out from other people that you shouted it at me then he will hate every single one of us."

"Yeah, your right. Let's just go to class."

"Yeah. come on."

As the day went on, my mind kept going to this morning. The conversation I walked in on and what Vic said. Remington liked someone and that someone was me but for how long? I hope it's a new crush and not one that he had since we were younger. I would feel so bad if I found out he liked me for the longest time and never really paid attention to him. That probably made him feel like trash and it's all my fault.

Once it was lunchtime, the guys walked to the lunchroom. I followed behind since my mind was still stuck on the Remington subject. I should have been paying attention though because I wasn't really expecting to see Remington in the lunchroom. He was smiling and looked happy. That's great but what happens if someone told him what we were talking about the morning at the lockers on accident? We could all get into trouble. If it's never talking to Remington again or having Remington hate us for a little while until he stops liking me. We never know.

"Hey man! How are you feeling?" Vic asked with a smile. Nice to know he can play it cool after he just spilled one of Remington's deepest secrets. I'm just worried about Jake or Jeremy. They tend to spill secrets more than anyone.

"I feel a lot better so I'm going to be at school for the rest of the day. What did you guys do so far?"

"Nothing much. Vic was just being really talkative and Andy was being very...what's the word? Shy? I don't know but something along those lines." Cristian shrugged

"Andy? Shy? I didn't know Andy Biersack could be shy." Remington Joked. I laughed awkwardly and laid my head in my palm with my elbow on the table.

"Vic is naturally talkative. You'll get used to him. Anyway...I have something I want to ask you guys."

"What's up?" Kellin asked while looking at Remington.

"My dad...he wants to talk to my brothers and me soon and he wants us to move in with him...what do I do?"

"Oh, no, no, no, no. You have to say no. I can't have you going through the path you did when he left. You grew up with your brother as a father figure. You don't need that disgrace of a human to take care of you. You have us." Kellin says sadly.

"Yeah. What more do you need? Don't put yourself in a situation like that again." Vic smiles.

"I was going to say to go for it but I don't think I should after hearing them say something like that. What happened?"

"His dad was a really abusive type of person. He left them when Remington's youngest brother was only one. They had Sebastian, his oldest brother, take care of them like a father figure while their mom was at work or sleeping. She struggles to take care of them but she manages with Sebastian's help. Sebastian does all the cooking, cleaning, and everything else around the house while their mom works. Sebastian wakes up Emerson and Emerson will wake Remington up since Remington likes to fight. It would be a dream come true to have someone other than Emerson wake Remington up." Kellin informed.

I smiled and looked at Remington. He smiled back and then looked at the rest of the boys.

"So, is that why Remington won't tell Andy he likes him?" Jake asked confused but instantly covered his mouth. Remington looked at him, then me, and then Victor and Kellin. He looked like he was about to panic.

He is differently going to have a panic attack if he doesn't calm down. I sighed and walked over to him. He pushed me away and ran out of the lunchroom. I looked at Jake and groaned.

"Why would you say that!?" Everyone, including me, shouted at Jake.

"I wasn't paying attention to what I was saying! I'm sorry!"

I groaned and ran after Remington. I ran down the halls and into the bathroom where I heard heavy breathing. I walking in and knocked on one of the stalls. It opened when I pushed on it. Remington was sitting on the floor crying and breathing heavily.

"Remington...come here. Calm down."

He wouldn't stop crying. His breathing was getting faster. I quickly hugged and put my hand over his nose and mouth. He looked at me and closed his eyes. His breathing slowed down and I removed my hand. He looked at me and then the floor.

"I'm sorry..."

I looked at him surprised. "For what?"

"Running off...liking you...everything...I'm sorry."

"You don't have to say sorry for anything Remington. You were just doing what you're supposed to. You listened to yourself and no one else. It's better to run away and spill your emotions then stay and hide them. It's not good for you. It's good that you like people. It's normal for people to like other people. It's okay. You shouldn't say sorry for something like this."

"I...I don't know why you're being so nice when you know I like you...most people will ignore the other person if they liked them...you...you aren't doing that. Why?"

Because I like you too. Come on Andy! Just spill it out!

"Because I am not like other people. I don't care if people like me or not."

He nods and got up. He looked sad but also hurt. Did I say something bad? I hope he doesn't ignore me.

"Okay, well, in this case. I'll see you later."

I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug. I started crying. He seemed shocked but hugged me back.

"Why are you crying!? I'm not good with people who are crying! I don't know how to comfort them!"

"T-this is fine. I don't really know why I'm crying."

"Oh, okay."

I sighed and pulled away. He smiled and wiped my eyes.

"You will be okay. Now, let's go to class."

"Actually...I have something to tell you..."

"Hm?"

"I like you...a lot actually..."

He started at me shocked. "Y-you what?"

"I like you. I like you a lot. I practically love you!"

He smiled and hugged me tightly.

"You already know I like you back but still! I like you too!"

I chuckled and pulled away from the hug. I smiled and kisses his cheek.

"Be my boyfriend?" I asked with a blush.

"Duh!"

I smiled and hugged him tightly. This is going to the best school year ever!
