Beautiful Pain (Previously Known As Saviours)

True Nightmares

*The system starts malfunctioning*

"SHUT IT OFF!"

"I can't. It won't budge."

"Can't you blow it up or something?!"

"Does it look like-"

*gets interrupted by computer*
'Now cloning 10,396,528 Andy Biersacks

*Jackie*
Jackie wakes up in a cold sweat, next to Andy. She looks away and says,

"Oh god, it was just a dream."

Jackie walks over to grab her Foxboro Red 100s off her dresser. She walks outside and lights up a smoke. She looks up to encounter a million clones of Andy standing before her. Her jaw drops,

"But, but how? It was just a dre-"

*Jackie wakes up again*

"Oh god, a dream within a dream? I better be awake this fucking time."

She looks next to her, but Andy's no where in sight. She thinks to herself, 'Andy? Where is he? He always tells me where he's going. Or gone for that matter.'
Jackie gets up and walks over to her record player.

"I'll just listen to some of his music until he gets home."

As Jackie is fingering through the records, she notices that, all her Black Veil Brides records are gone.

"What's going on here? First Andy's not here, and now my Black Veil Brides are gone?"

She looks at her walls and her Black Veil Brides posters are gone too.

"What the fuck! Where is all my shit?!"

She looks frantically for the phone. Maybe her friend knows where Andy is. She calls her friend and gets a pick up on the other end.

"Ramona, do you know where Andy is?"

"Andy who?"

Memories of last night start to replay in her head, but she's having trouble remembering Andy's last name.

"Bier, biers, BIERSACK! Do you know where Andy Biersack is?"

"Listen Jackie, who the hell is Andy Biersack?"

"He's my boyfriend, you know, singer to the Black Veil Brides?"

"Oh, when did you start dating again?"

"Ramona, what are you talking about? I have been."

"No you haven't. Whatever, I've gotta go. Bye xoxo."

She throws the phone and falls to the ground, crying.

"Ramona's my best friend. How can she not know about me and Andy? I don't know. I'm going down to the Exclusive Company to calm myself down. I just wonder where Andy is."

Jackie walks into the Exclusive Company and asks the cashier about Black Veil Brides albums.

"Umm, excuse me? Do you have any BvB albums?"

"Bv- what?"

"Black Veil Brides, do you have any?"

"I'm sorry, but I've never heard of them."

Her eyes start to swell up. Nobody in this fucking town knows who Black Veil Brides are?

"Did I say something?, I'm sorr-"

"No, no you didn't. I don't even remember why I came in here. Thanx anyways."

Walking home crying, Jackie has an idea. She'll call her friend who is also obsessed with Black Veil Brides. 'He's gotta remember Andy. He was jealous 'cause I'm dating Andy.'
So Jackie calls him up. And puts him on speaker.

"Hey Platoon, Do you know where Andy is?"

"No I don't, but is all your Black Veil Brides merch gone too?"

"How'd you know?"

"I woke up and went to throw in my favorite album by them, you know, We Stitch These Wounds, anyways I started getting pissed 'cause all my shit was gone. I thought someone broke in and took it all, but nothing was broken. Jackie, what's going on? Why's our shit all gone. I asked my friend about my stuff, thinking it was a prank you know, he said he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Jackie, you still there?"

She's on the verge of crying, but she replies.

"Yeah, I'm still here."

"I don't know Jackie" Platoon starts to cry.

"They're my favorite band, Where the fuck is my shit!"

Jackie runs outside with the phone and falls to the ground, bursting into tears.
Platoon continues, sniffing up the rest of his tears. Loud enough for Jackie to hear.

"Jackie, what's going on? Why doesn't no one know what we're talking about? or about Black Veil Brides?"

She starts to calm down and bring the phone closer to her.

"I, I, I don't know...."

"We've gotta find Andy."

"He's not real anymore. He's just a distant memory."

"JACKIE! He's out there somewhere. We can't let the BVB Army just fade away. I mean, he's gotta be, if we at least remember him."

"I kinda remember him a little more now, but it's still pretty fuzzy."

Platoon looks out his window and sees the Sunday paper on his doorstep and walks over to pick it up.

"Jackie?"

"What"

"I don't think it's 2016 anymore."

"What do you mean? When is it?"

He squints at the newspaper.

"Its, its, its 2005."

"Oh my god, I'm stuck in 2005!"

"More like we're stuck here. Look, BvB aren't even together now, and they won't be until next year, 2006. Jackie, What are we going to do?"

"I don't know, but I'll find Andy somewhere. I'm 15 again."

"Jackie, Andy IS 15."

"I know, we're both 15 again. So we'll fit right in."
