This is a Rebel Love Song

With the new phone that Ronnie had gotten her, Marilyn was now able to text. Andy had sent her a text:

Andy: Meet me back at the bus ASAP. Got something for you(;

Marilyn smiled.

"Text from Andy?" Ronnie asked. After kissing Marilyn, things got a little awkward for a while. After he apologized, Marilyn forgave him pretty fast and told him she understood even though she really didn't. Marilyn just didn't want to lose Ronnie as her friend. He was one of the only things in her life that made her genuinely happy.

"Yeah, it's Andy. He said he has a surprise for me."

"Well, you better get going then!"

Marilyn laughed. "Alright, I'll see you later, Ronnie."

Marilyn hurried off to the bus. She could barely get up the steps before she was tackled by Andy who started kissing her all over her face and neck.

"Whoa, ok, ok! Andy, calm down!"

He pulled himself away and helped her off the floor. Then, he slid a black box from out of his pocket.

"Surprise," He said as he opened the box to reveal a gold chain necklace with a ruby heart as the charm. "I love you."

Marilyn couldn't believe it. "Andy, I-"

"No, don't say anything. I know July is your birthday month and yeah you're birthday is like a week away but I couldn't wait any longer and I thought the ruby was perfect! Read the back of it."

On the back, engraved in script, it said 'Nothing's gonna stop us, no not this time. -Love, Andy'.

Marilyn felt the tears begin to well up in her eyes.

"Oh, please don't cry." Andy said. He pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "You are my beautiful girlfriend and I love you."

"G-Girlfriend? Really?" Marilyn beamed with joy. "H-Here. Help me put it on." She handed him the necklace and he latched it in the back. "It's beautiful, Andy. I-I love you, too."

"Aw!" They heard a chorus of voices coming from the back of the bus.

"Oh, just come on out guys." Andy called back to them. One by one, they appeared.

"So, I'm assuming she loves it?" Jinxx asked. "I am, after all, the one who helped pick it out."

Sammi went over and gave Marilyn a hug. "See? I told you it would all work out in the end!"

At that point, Marilyn couldn't be any happier. It was only ten days into Warped Tour and they still had a lot more adventures to go on. With Andy by her side, Marilyn felt that nothing bad could ever happen to her again. She didn't want to think about the future and everything that would happen once the tour is over. She just wanted to bathe in this moment of happiness; the only moment of happiness she's had since she was little and living with her mom. Even though Andy had done so much for her and got her the necklace, she couldn't stop thinking about Ronnie and how she really felt during that fateful kiss.
