Let Me Love You {on your knees} book 1

Chapter # 7

BELLAS P.O.V-

I felt like my feet had been cemented to the ground. Andys words had torn right through me. He had bad intentions with me? What kind of bad intentions?... Did I even really have to ask myself that? Because it was obvious.

Big rock star Andy Biersack. Of course. I had a feeling from the beginning. Why would he just want to be my friend? Some random girl from warped tour. I wondered how many girls like me he had targeted out.

I suddenly remembered a gossip article Ellie had read me online a few years back. He had had a messy breakup with a girlfriend and after that he just went off the rails. He had been photographed with so many women. I felt nauseated and extremely pissed off that this was upsetting me so badly. I knew better. From the beginning of all of this I had told myself that it was just going to be a friendship. But of course how could you not start to fall for someone as good looking and charming as he was.

What was I saying? I didn't even know him. I only met him this afternoon....

I made sure my dress was completely pulled down all the way before straightening the rest of my outfit and then I slowly proceeded into the bar. Ellie would come out looking for me if I didn't show, especially after Andy had already walked in. Worse yet... Ace would come out to look for me...Ace...

I all of a sudden got a really bad idea. Maybe I could show Andy up. Make him see how much I didn't care that he had planned to use me... I just needed one more thing from him before I could do what I wanted to do.

He had promised me alcohol. Not straight out, but I knew he would be able to get it for me.

Pushing back my emotions, I threw on a grin and walked up to Andy who was laughing with Ashley and his girl friend. His face immediately grew serious and he raised an eyebrow as he noticed me approach. "What's up?" I put on a cute little puppy dog face, feeling my cheeks grow warm and red in the process. "Can I talk to you for a second?" I could see the hesitation in his face. Like he wanted to but he knew he shouldn't. "Are you sure you just can't talk to me here?" Ashley and his girl friend had quieted down to listen in now. I shook my head. "It'll only take a second."

I watched as Andy let out a huge sigh and then get up out of his chair ever so slowly. He followed me to a corner of the bar. The music had started to get louder, the d.j was starting to play dance music.

"So what's up?" He asked almost irritated now and ran a hand through his hair.

"Can you get me something to drink? Please? I could have sworn that you insinuated that you would."

I could see him fighting a grin and he grew quiet for a few moments. "I guess... I can. Just let me talk to the bartender ok? I know him pretty well."

I nodded and he walked off in the direction of the bar. I stayed standing awkwardly in the corner waiting for him to come back. My nerves were starting to get the best of me and I almost wanted to break down and give up this sudden conquest of mine. I knew it would probably come back to haunt me but I was consumed with the thought of payback. I was going to attempt to make Andy jealous and forget all about him at the same time. Even though I knew Andy didn't me as more than a one night stand... And on my birthday too. I let my anger fuel me away from my hesitation.

I had worked so hard to keep Ace at a distance and now I was going to use him... I mean hey, maybe I had been wrong all along and I would actually like him more than I thought. Maybe I just needed to unwind. Maybe I just needed alcohol to break down my barriers. To be brave. It did make me brave. Braver than I liked sometimes.

I watched Andy smiling and chatting with one of the bartenders and then he stopped and turned, starting to walk back to me. He had a devilish look in his eye again and it made me more nervous. As soon as he came back to stand next to me he nodded. "Done. You can go and order whatever you want. How much you want. It's on me and it's the least I can do for you for your birthday after being a d**k. You'll have a small good memory of our short time together."

His words made my heart drop into my stomach. 'Our short time together.' He was going to leave here tonight, or another bar, depending on how many these guys would want to go to and then I'd go home and that would be that. I'd wake up to my normal life and I'd never see Andy again.

Without saying another word to him, I brushed past him and headed to the bar. I didn't even look back, my eyes were threatening to spill over with tears. What the hell was wrong with me? I didn't know him. He didn't know me. There was no reason I should have been feeling these emotions. There was no reason I should have been feeling so hurt....

I was so thankful that during my whole time on this earth I had never fallen for someone. I wouldn't have been able to handle it very well if I was rejected. Maybe this was why I never did. And all of a sudden, this guy barged his way into my life just so he could f**k me and then throw me away like I was nothing when I had started to really like him. I felt like my whole body was burning from the anger I felt. Did I mention that I had a huge anger problem. My birthday wasn't going to be ruined like this.

I plopped myself down on a stool at the bar and the guy Andy had been talking to immediately turned and smiled at me. "What would you like me to get you first my dear?"

ANDY'S P.O.V-

I wasn't quite sure what I had just done. Bella had this unreadable look on her face right before she quickly walked passed me and went and sat down at the bar. She hadn't even responded to what I had said to her.

This had become a lot more complicated than I initially thought it was going to be. I had done more than hurt her.... I had pissed her off. Her beautiful blue eyes had looked so dark and glazed over.

I sat back down at the table where I had been talking to Ash, now empty because he had gone to dance with his lady friend. I picked up my glass of whiskey and found myself staring at Bella still. There were quite a few empty glasses sitting in front of her as time went on. And then she called Vic over to her again and then he brought her another full glass of a dark liquid. Which was probably something hard. I chugged the rest of my drink and stood up again to go over and get some more.

Halfway to the bar, Bella stood up, staggering just a little bit and then began to walk through the crowd of people on the dance floor. I turned a little to follow her path and then noticed her sit down in between Ace and Jake. What?....

I sat down at the bar, keeping my eyes on her while ordering another whiskey. And then she put her arm around Aces shoulders and I almost jolted up out of my seat. Andy, sit your ass down. I growled in my head. She didn't like this guy. If she acted like this around him, he was going to get the wrong idea. Obviously. So this is what alcohol did to her?

What was she doing really? Making me extremely jealous? Yes. But why? Dammit. I didn't know this girl. She was no one to me... I only knew her for a day, not even.

I watched her wobbly stand up and pull Ace to his feet. He was grinning ear to ear and it made me so angry I wanted to knock the teeth from his mouth. The way he looked her up and down made me sick to my stomach. Don't look at her like that you scum f**k!

She grabbed his hand and half pulled him to the dance floor and he Immediately turned her around, wrapping his hands around her waist and pulled her ass against his crotch. And then his hands landed on her hips and he guided her to grind on him. I watched his eyes roll shut. She was obviously too intoxicated to care because she just kept up with his movements, a smile on her lips.

An anger I had never felt before flooded my veins. I clenched my glass so tightly my knuckles started to throb. He needed to stop touching her... And he needed to stop now... He could see how waisted she was. Who couldn't? This was my fault and I needed to do something about it.

Just then, Ace twirled her around and pushed his lips onto hers. Her arms flailed against his chest and she was obviously trying to push him away but he wouldn't move. That son of a b***h.

I jumped up so fast, my elbow smashed down onto my glass, shattering it and cutting through my skin, I let out an agonized groan. "Andy! Are you alright!?" Vic yelled over the chatter and loud music. I glanced at him briefly and nodded my head and then continued on my path while gritting my teeth.

It didn't take long, for me to reach the two of them and I gently nudged Bella back so Aces hands were no longer gripping onto her, before grabbing onto Aces shirt with both hands and shoving him hard.

He stumbled a bit and then immediately he came barreling towards me. "You f*****g asshole! You're f*****g everything up!" He screamed at me. I ducked as his fist came flying at my face. He stumbled forward this time and I turned grabbing a fist full of his hair and pushed his face right into the floor.

Everyone around us scrambled, forming a circle. I quickly scanned the crowd to find Bella standing there behind me, trembling badly. Ace was on the floor now so I put my foot on his back and leaned down to whisper into his ear. I wanted to pummel him but I didn't want Bella to see that. I didn't want her to be scared of me in that way.

So I made what I had to say short and sweet. "Don't you ever touch her again. You are a low life piece of s**t for trying to take advantage of a obviously wasted girl. And just so you know-" I whispered the last part even more quietly. "She is mine and if you ever try to touch her again, I will kill you."

With that I removed my foot from him and stood up straight. I now noticed the rest of the band and Bellas friends watching us, wide eyed. Ellie had wrapped her arms around Bella and was rubbing her arm while whispering into her ear.

But Bellas eyes didn't leave mine. They were overwhelmed and threatening to cry. My heart skipped a beat. I needed to go to her. I needed to comfort her.

I walked over slowly and stood in front of her holding out my hand. If she didn't take it I would look like a complete i***t. And it would affirm that she didn't want anymore to do with me. If that happened I'd let it go and leave.... But then she did. Her shaky arm reached up and she put her hand in mine.

Ellie let her go and I pulled her into my arms. Ellie looked at me with a raised eyebrow, obviously unsure of what my intentions were. So I mouthed to her 'I'll take care of her.' Ellie then smiled and nodded.

I positioned Bella under my right arm and started to walk through the people that immediately parted for us. No one had asked any questions or said anything about what had just happened and I was grateful for that. I was thankful that I knew Vic so well and I'm sure he probably understood what had gone on.

¥

Bella was so wobbly. I had watched her throw back drink after drink and it shocked me. How could such a tiny little thing hold so much. But now she was completely wasted and barely able to walk.

"I-I'm ok, you can let go." She managed to mumble. I couldn't help but laugh at her. "No you're not and I'm not letting go."

We made it to my car and she pulled away from me and leaned up against it. I stood in front of her with my arms crossed, examining her face. "Can I bum a cig, I left my purse in there." She pointed at the club.

"Do you want me to get it for you?" I asked her. She shook her head. "Ellie will get it for me. It's on h-her chair."

She was avoiding eye contact with me and it bothered me a lot. I knew she was still upset with me for what I had said.

"Cig?" She asked again and then reached forward to try and grab my pack from my pocket. I moved back a bit.

"Hey... Now ask nicely." I teased her. She practically growled at me.

"You asshole, give me a cig." Again she tried to grab my pack from my back pocket and I side stepped her. She stumbled a bit and I put a hand out to keep her from falling.

"Andy, seriously...." I moved in closer to her this time instead of trying to get away and she immediately backed up into my car. Our faces were inches apart.

"Say please, beautiful."

I obviously stunned her out of her drunken irritation because her eyes grew wide and her mouth gaped open.

"Stop it." She retorted, shocking me a little bit.

"Stop what?" I asked, confused.

"Stop f*****g with me Andy. Don't call me beautiful. Stop trying to be so sweet. I know what you really want from me."

Her response irritated the s**t out of me. And it made me want to take her even more. To cover her mouth with mine and silence her sweet accusing voice.

"Fine." I replied coldly, unlocking my car and throwing open the passenger door. "Get in, you're going home now."

And surprisingly she did, without another word.

BELLAS P.O.V-

I got into Andys car, buckled in and then crossed my arms angrily. Why did he have to f*****g come to my rescue! I was trying to make him jealo- my thoughts trailed off. He was watching me.... He must have been watching me the whole time because as soon as Ace started to forcefully kiss me, Andy was there in only a matter of seconds.

He got in the car, slamming his door hard. The vibration made my body shiver. He was angry. I had shown him no thanks for what he had done for me. It was stupid of me for leading Ace on, nothing good would have come from it. At all.

As Andy started the car, I realized that there were streaks of blood slowly dripping down his arm to the Palm of his hand. I leaned in closer to realize his elbow was caked in dark, half dried blood.

"ANDY!" He jumped in his seat and turned to look at me with frustrated eyes.

"What Bella? What's wrong!?" I grabbed his wrist, obviously shocking him and his arm went limp.

"You're bleeding! What happened!?"

He followed the path of my eyes and twirled his arm around. "Oh... Yeah I forgot all about that. It's not a big deal. I'll be fine."

I let his hand go and he put it back on the steering wheel, preparing to back out. "No youre not that doesn't look good. How'd you do that."

He turned back to look at me again and he sighed. "I smashed my elbow on a glass and broke it in the process of trying to get to you and Ace."

My stomach felt hollow. I felt terrible. "Andy, there could be glass in it."

He ignored me pulling out of the parking lot. "Andy, I think you should get it checked...."

He didn't say anything still.

"Andy plea-"

"Why? Why do you care so much?"

I mentally cursed myself for being such a d**k to him when we got out of the bar. Even though he had had 'bad intentions' with me, he still saved me from being smothered by Ace and that's the thanks I had shown him.

"Because...."

I still couldn't help but have a crush on him. I still couldn't help but be consumed by his eyes and the way he looked at me. And the way he smelled... And, and, and....

"Because why Bella?"

My drunken brain was sending my emotions into overdrive. "It's not f-fair to take advantage of a drunk girls emotions..."

Andy chuckled very loudly, scaring the s**t out of me.

"This is the best time to get anything out of someone and I'm guessing you're a tough cookie to get information out of. So I'm asking you now, why do you care so much?"

I put my hand under my chin and quickly looked out of the window. "Because.... I-I.... Because I like you. Probably more than I should...."
