I'm all caught up on my work thanks to Jack. Yeah I decided to take up Jack's offer on the homework club. I was a bit hesitant at first, but when I found out I was the only one there, I was okay with it. Also there's a trip coming up the week before winter break. The whole week we will be in LA. I told Andy about it and he said he wanted to stop by and see me. Yeah he's been calling everyday after the first day he called. I enjoy hearing his voice, no wonder I liked him so much, he's awesome and I can't wait to re-meet him. The trip is for the whole week and I only have to spend four hours of each day with the class. The rest of my time can be spent with Andy and his band since he gets that whole week off. I'm just too excited about it. Tonight Nicole is coming over with her girlfriend Pixie. Ricky's kind of upset about, so we're secretly finding him a new girlfriend. I know it might not be the best idea, but he's been pretty down recently and I think it might cheer him up. The doorbell rings and I run downstairs to open it.

"Hey Scar meet Pixie! And this behind us is the girl we think would be good for Rick." Nicole says and they walk upstairs.

"Go hide her in my room, I'll be right there." I say running into the kitchen. I grab four monsters from the fridge and peak into the living room. Ricky's asleep on the couch, great! I quickly and quietly retreat upstairs to my room. They all sit on my bed, I hand each of them a monster.

"Hi it's nice to meet you both! Pixie and, I'm sorry I didn't get your name." I say and take a sip from my can.

"Sorry, my name is Tess." She says. I can see she doesn't talk that much so I move onto Pixie.

"So Pixie, you're dating my sister I hear." She nods and gives Nicole a kiss. I guess none of these conversations are going to be long. "So what's the plan? Will you be taking her somewhere nice this evening?" I ask trying to lighten the mood.

"We were actually just thinking of chilling at my house and watching Netflix." Says Nicole. Is that all they ever do? Whenever I ask I always get that same response. Ugh!

"Sounds fun." I say, don't really mean it. I'm one of those girls who hate having to focus on one thing for a long time. "So Tess, tell me about yourself."

"Well I'm a senior, I'm going to be doing a victory lap because I still have one more course to finish to graduate. I love going out and being adventurous, and I hate Taylor that blonde bitch at our school." Tess replies.

"Nic can we keep her?" I ask and we all laugh. "But in a seriousness, I think Rick's going to really like you. You know what'd be a great idea? You all should sleep over tonight!"

"Sure!" They all squeal. Dad's either going to be okay with it because he can watch two girls make out or he's not going to because we are going to be loud and annoying. Either way it doesn't matter. I'm just going to be the fifth wheel then. Ricky and Tess and going to want to be alone and so will Pixie Nicole. Oh well! The girls all go back to their houses to pack and I go down to the living room. My dad and Ricky are there. Dad watches hockey and Ricky's asleep still. I jump on him and sit on his chest.

"What the fuck Scar, I was sleeping!" Ricky croaks, I don't really care though.

"Blake can some of my friends sleep over tonight?" Yeah I still don't call him dad to his face. I think he'd find it weird.

"Sure, I have to go out tonight anyways. I got a date, I should probably start getting ready for it now." He says and walks upstairs.

"Scar can you get off of me?" Ricky whines. I stand up for a sec so he can sit up, then I sit back down next to him. "So who's sleeping over tonight?"

"Nicole, Pixie, and Tess." I tell him.

"Who's Tess?" He asks with a bit of a smile I see.

"She's this really cool girl who's a year older than us."

"Describe her." Someone's interested.

"She has light baby blue eyes, and light orange hair. She's kind of pale, but really pretty."

"Cool, can't wait to meet her." He says and starts watching the hockey game. I go to the kitchen and start to think of something for dinner when my phone rings. Andy.

"Hey babe." I say. Yeah I've started calling him that, it just seemed right.

"I love hearing you say that." He says and I blush. "One of our songs is on the radio right now, go listen." I run up to my room and turn on my radio. "You listening?"

"What song is this?"

"The Mortician's Daughter, and I'm dedicating this to you."

"I love you more than I can ever scream." His voice sings through the radio.

"I love you more than I can ever scream too." I tell him.

"Good because I can't wait to see you and take you out to dinner."

"Do the guys know about my memory loss?" What if one of them approaches me in the streets and they start asking me questions I don't know how to answer?

"No, I thought it'd be best to wait till you get here." Ugh!

"So where are you taking me to?" I ask, changing the subject.

"It's a surprise, but trust me you'll love it."

"Okay, I'll put my trust in you. Is there anything I should know before I get there?"

"Jinxx is getting married soon."

"He's the rhythm guitarist right?"

"Yeah and Jake, our lead guitarist, his girlfriend is pregnant. Also Ashley is kind of a perv and CC is a complete child."

"Ashley's the bassist, and CC's the drummer?"

"Yep, but they are all very nice so don't worry."

"Okay I'll talk to you later, bye."

"Bye, I love you."

"I love you too." I hang up. Yeah, I've also been saying those words too. The doorbell rings and I let the girls in. They all put their stuff in my room and we all retreat to the living room. We practically force Ricky and Tess to sit together and Pix and Nic sit together. I sit on a chair alone, this should be fun. The dad walks down the stairs and I walk over to him at the door. Here's fifty bucks, this should get you dinner and snacks." He says handing me the money.

"Don't be throwing a party while I'm gone. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon, keep safe."

"I will, have a nice date." I say giving him a hug.

"Will do kid." He closes the door behind himself and I return to my chair.

"So what's the plans?" I ask and everyone shrugs. I get up. "I'm gonna go order a pizza." I say walking into the kitchen. When I'm done I peak into the living room to see Pix and Nic macking on each other and Ricky and Tess doing the same. I let out a sigh and go up to my room. School was boring today so when I got home I was glad the girls were coming over, but now I just feel like a loner. I sit on my bed and go over my contacts in my phone. It's only 6pm so I decide to call Alex to see what he's up to. Even after I found out he has a crush on me I didn't really care, I still want to be friends. He finally picks up on the fourth ring.

"Hey Scar, what's up?" He asks.

"I'm bored and lonely, wanna hang?" I whine.

"Sure, but what do you wanna do?"

"We can hang in my room."

"Okay I'll be over soon."

"See you in a few." I hang up and decide to change my clothes. I change into my Guns N Roses tank, black skinny jeans, and black vans. I quickly straighten my hair and do my wings. There's a knock at the door and I go down to answer it. There he is in a white v neck, black leather jacket, and dark blue jeans. He doesn't look like a mature adult at all.

"Hey." He says and I let him in.

"Scar who's at the door?" Ricky yells from the living room.

"A friend!" I yell back and lead Alex upstairs. I let him in my room and close the door.

"You haven't changed a bit." He says sitting on my bed. He looks around at my posters on the wall of Pierce The Veil, Of Mice & Men, My Chemical Romance, and Automatic Loveletter.

"What's Automatic Loveletter?"

"It's this band I found on my phone. Their former lead singer was Mr Biersack's wife, but she left them after they finished their album 'The Kids Will Take Their Monsters On'." I tell him sitting next to him.

"I never knew he had a wife."

"Yeah he's getting a divorce really soon." I stop myself from smiling, I don't want him to get sad, I have a feeling he kinda knows.

"Can you play one of their songs?" I nod and start playing Heart Song. A smile forms on his face and I can tell he likes it. "She has an amazing voice!"

"Yeah I thought so too."

"And that's her?" He asks pointing to one of the posters. I nod. "I've never understood Biersack."

"You know I've been talking to him recently."

"Really? How's he been?"

"Great, his band played on the radio earlier, it was awesome. He said he wanted to see me while we're on the LA trip."

"What about?"

"Can I tell you something?"

"Of course, you can tell me anything."

"Um he's in love with me."

"Are you in love with him?"

"I'm not sure, but he said he wanted to take me out on a date."

"So does this mean you two are in a relationship?"

"Well I don't think so. I'm not even sure if the date will go well."

"So you have doubts?"

"I think I do." The doorbell rings. "That's the pizza, I'll be right back." I walk downstairs and open the door. The guy gives me the pizza and twenty dollars in change. I put the box in the living room and grab four slices and bring them upstairs. "Pizza!"

"Pizza!" He yells back. We both eat and he keeps me on the Andy conversation. "So you're single right now?" He asks, wanting it to be confirmed.

"Yes, I am single." I confirm.

"Go on a date with me."

"No."

"Why?"

"You're my teacher."

"So was he."

"Keyword: was."

"How can I convince you?"

"I'm not sure, make me feel like you're not a teacher, I don't know."

"Done." I look at him confused and carry on. His phone keeps going off.

"Who keeps texting you?"

"A friend, he doesn't want me hanging out with one of my students."

"Hanging out is perfectly acceptable, dating is inappropriate, and I'm not dating you."

"Stop rubbing it in." I giggle. "Great now he's calling."

"Hand me the phone." He does.

"Alex leave there now!" Jack says.

"This is Jack correct?" I ask.

"Scarlet hand the phone over to Alex."

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"You're interrupting, I have to let you go now, he's waiting." I wink at Alex and he understands. I put it on speaker phone.

"What do you mean by 'he's waiting'?" Asks Jack.

"Scarlet get over here and fuck me already!" Says Alex.

"I have to go, bye!" I say.

"Scarlet!" Jack yells, I hang up. Alex and me start laughing uncontrollably. When we finally stop, Alex is bright red and I'm in tears. Jack doesn't call back, Alex's theory is that Jack threw his phone at the wall.

"I love it when you laugh." Says Alex.

I blush a little and turn away, and whisper, "Thank you."

"Look at me for a sec." I turn to him.

"What?"

"You're eyes are so beautiful, I just want to stare into them forever." I turn away and at the ground. He tilts my head up with his finger and turns my face to his. He leans in and kisses me. At first I try to pull away, but his lips just felt so perfect against mine, I began to deepen the kiss. His tongue licked my bottom lip, pleas for an entry and I allow it. He starts leaning more into me that I now lay on my bed, him on top of me, kissing me. We both pull away for a breath and he sits beside me with his head in his hands.

"Why'd you stop?" I ask.

He looks up at me. "I thought you didn't want to date me." He says.

"You persuaded me to the idea." He smiles and hovers over me again, kissing me. His tongue battles for dominance with mine, eventually he won. He began kissing down my neck, leaving little love bites on my skin. He begins pulling on my shirt, trying to pull it off and that's when I stop.

"No Alex."

"Okay." He says disappointed. His lips move back up my neck. He kisses my cheek, forehead, nose, then pecks my mouth. He lays down and stares at the ceiling. I move closer to him and rest my head on his chest. Before I know it, I'm being awoken by the sound of a knock on my door. Alex is asleep with his arm around me . He looks so cute but I wake him up anyway. I grab my guitar and give to him, answering the door. Maybe they'll think he was teaching me something on the guitar. I open the door, Nicole.

"Hey, we wanted to walk the streets and wanted to know if you were up for it? I'm sorry we've been treating you like a fifth wheel." She pulls me into a hug.

"You know it's fine, I've just been hanging out with Alex." I tell her, allowing her in. Alex strums the guitar a little before looking up to see her.

"Hey Nicole." He says.

"Should have known you were with Gaskarth. So what songs do you know?" She asks him. He smiles at me before replying.

"I wrote a song, you wanna hear?" He asks we both nod. "Okay this is called Backseat Serenade." He begins to play.

" Lazy lover Find a place for me again You felt it once before I know you did I could see it Whiskey Princess Drink me under, pull me in You had me at come over boy I need a friend I understand Backseat serenade Dizzy hurricane Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone You're salty like a summer day Kiss the sweat away To your radio Backseat serenade Little hand grenade Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone You're salty like a summer day Kiss the pain away To your radio You take me over I throw you up against the wall We've seen it all before But this one's different It's deliberate You send me reeling Calling out to you for more The value of this moment lives in metaphor Yeah, through it all Backseat serenade Dizzy hurricane Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone You're salty like a summer day Kiss the sweat away To your radio Backseat serenade Little hand grenade Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone You're salty like a summer day Kiss the pain away To your radio Backseat serenade Dizzy hurricane Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone You're salty like a summer day Kiss the sweat away To your radio Backseat serenade Little hand grenade Oh, aren't you sick of sleeping alone? We're salty on a summer day Kiss the pain away To your radio" he sings.


Listening to him sing in fourth, it sounds like it's a chore for him. But when he sings his own lyrics, it sounds like he's having the time of his life. "What'd you guys think?" He asks.

"You're great!" Nicole squeals.

"Just simply amazing, I'm in awe." I tell him.

"You see now both of you have to come with us. You both can be our musical entertainment." Nicole says. We both look at each other and shrug.

"It's okay with me." I say.

"I'm up for it." He says.

"Great! Let's go!" She says and we walk downstairs together. Everyone stares at Alex, I always forget he's older. He just acts like a teenager, I just can't remember he's also a responsible adult.

"Guys quit staring, you'll scare him away." I say and they return to their conversations. We all walk out the door and down the road. I get to know Tess on the way. She loves Batman as much as I do, she can say any word backwards perfectly, and has a tattoo that says 'To live and not to breathe is to die in tragedy. To run... To run away to find what you believe and I leave behind this hurricane of fucking lies.' It's a quote from Jesus Of Suburbia by Green Day. She's a super cool chick and I'm glad we introduced her to Ricky. I can't get a word in with Pixie because Nicole and her are always whispering and giggling into each other's ears. It's kind of annoying but as long as Nicki is happy, so am I. We all get to the park and we decide to chill there since there's nowhere else to go. Alex and I sing them songs. We sang Dirty Little Secret, I Wanna, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Teenagers, Hold On Till May and a couple other songs. Then I sing End Of The World by Juliet Simms and Alex sings one of his songs called Therapy. It was an awesome night. When we all got back, the girls and Ricky went to sleep but Alex and I stayed outside.

"So I guess this is goodnight." I say.

"I wish this night would never end, I know that by tomorrow you'll be back to saying I love you to Biersack anyways." He says and I look at him confused.

"Hey when I said that you persuaded me, I wasn't kidding." I say holding his hand.
"I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you, you wanna touch me too." I start singing.
"I want you, I don't care about Biersack, like everyone has told me, he left me for LA. Does that sound like someone who cares?"

"And this is why I like you." He pecks my lips. "Goodnight Miss Kanes."

"I'm not a Kanes, I'm an Osbourne. And if you keep this up I'm gonna be a Gaskarth." I peck his cheek and walk inside. I close the door, locking it, and go to my room. The girls are past out on my bed so I take a pillow and go downstairs to the living room to sleep on the couch.
I like Alex.

Not for long... Well at least not with me as your puppet master.
