Get Down on Your Knees and Tell Me that You Love Me.

Chapter 1: When did lust for you become an organized crime?

"Get Dirty, Do Work." Was all I had been hearing for the past several months from the four people I spent most of my free time with, if not all of it. Growing up in Timonium, Maryland and attending the same High School as the four boys known to the world as All Time Low, it was hard not to become friends with them, especially when Alex Gaskarth was your next-door neighbor. The boys has just finished up their fourth studio album "Dirty Work" and were just about to head out on tour to promote it, "The Dirty Work Tour" with Hey Monday, the Summer Set, and Yellowcard and I was going with them. I had spent the past month dropping hints to Alex, so he would invite me and I wouldn't have to beg. It seemed pretty hopeless because he seemed pretty clueless and actually, it was Jack who had invited me, and my best friend Kim. My parents couldn't say no, and neither could hers seeing as we were both old enough to legally make our own choices. So, we both started packing and were now waiting at my house for one of the boys to pick us up. Alex had gone to the mall to pick up some last minute things for the tour.

This tour was going to be a lot of fun for everyone, Rian would get to spend it with his girlfriend, since she was the lead singer of Hey Monday, and Zack was just excited to see new sights to take pictures of. Jack, on the other hand, would spend the time going between Kim and I, he was such a flirt. Now as for Alex, he would probably spend it with…Lisa. Lisa Noel Ruocco, his gorgeous, model girlfriend who, as far as I knew, didn't like me very much. Why? Well, I might have a crush on her boyfriend, actually I have had a crush on her boyfriend since the first day we met, but to be fair I didn't know she was his girlfriend then and you can't really help your feelings. The bad part, he was oblivious that we didn't get along, so often whenever we were in the same room, one of us ended up leaving, and it was usually me. Did I mention that they were always on again, off again? That was the annoying part. She was gorgeous, and my first impression of her was, I thought she was really nice, until I found out that she had actually had something with Jack first, and then cheated on him with Alex. Weirdly enough, Jack and Alex are still best friends. I wasn't sure if she was coming, because she didn't always come, she was usually just at the hometown shows. I also may have had a habit of being all over Jack if Lisa was around, which wasn't good because I know my best friend has a crush on him. Man, I'm horrible.

"Maybe I'm your Mr. Right, baby Maybe I'm the one you like…"

I slid my phone up and looked at the text on the screen.

Jack Barakat: I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER! WHAT THE FUCK EMILY?

I shook my head. I didn't hear anyone knock on the fucking door. I shot him a text back.

Me: Douche, I didn't hear you knock. Calm yourself.

I dragged my suitcase downstairs and opened the door to find Jack standing with his arms crossed.

"What?" I dragged the bag past him and handed it to Flyzik.

"Rude." He helped Kim carry her bag over to the bus.

"Don't throw a tantrum." I laughed.

Jack ignored me and put Kim's bag into the compartment on the side of the bus.

"Where's Gaskank?" I asked looking around, noting that only Jack, Kim, Flyzik, Vinny, and some more crew men were present.

"Lisa's house."

"Of course." I rolled my eyes.

Jack shook his head and got onto the bus. Kim followed him and sat down on the couch. I looked next door to Alex's house, he wasn't there, obviously, but his parents were helping to load his things onto the bus. I guess that meant that Lisa wasn't coming? I let out a small sigh of relief.

"EMILY! COME ON!" Jack yelled from out the window.

"I'm waiting for Gaskank, shut up Barakat!" I yelled back sitting on the sidewalk.

Jack shook his head and I heard Kim laugh from inside the bus.

I looked at my phone screen, 4:30AM, we were supposed to be leaving at 5 and Alex still wasn't here yet. Rian and Zack had just showed up and were already loading their things into the bus and there were vans and two other buses that would hold the crew members and equipment. 4:40, he had twenty minutes, actually, 30 really because he was always at least 10 minutes late for everything, and I mean everything. I was about to call him and yell at him when a familiar voice was suddenly next to my ear.

"I'm a skank?" I jumped and almost hit him in the face, but he ducked out of the way.

"Don't do that!" He laughed.

"No need for violence Ms. Taylor."

"Ha. Ha. Then Don't invade my personal bubble, Mr. Gaskank."

"Ouch." He looked hurt.

I got up and crossed my arms. "You're late."

"No I'm not! He pulled out his phone and pointed to the time, 4:50, Right on time!" He protested.

"No, you're late. You were supposed to meet here at 4:30, and you're 20 minutes late."

"Blah blah." He scooped me up in his arms and threw me over his shoulder. I wasn't amused.

"Alexander William Gaskarth, put me down!" I struggled trying to punch him in the back.

He just laughed at my failure and carried me onto the bus. "Emily Rae Taylor, no can do." He didn't put me down even when we were on the bus; instead he carried me all the way to the back of the bus. I gave up trying to hit him. Instead I was stuck with the sight of his cardboard ass in my face. I sighed, I mean really, I wasn't complaining. But he couldn't know that, so when he put me down, I yanked his pants down, laughed and ran away to the front of the bus. He just stood there, his mouth on the floor and his eyes wide, for about 5 minutes before he started shouting at me and running, with his pants around his ankles.

"EMILY! WHAT THE FUCK! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" He yelled before he stumbled and fell face first on the floor in front of Zack and Rian.

"I thought it'd be funny." I said laughing from the couch next to Jack.

Rian, Kim, and Zack joined in the laughter as Alex got up and pulled his pants back up. He glared at me. "This isn't over." He sat down and pulled a can of red bull out of the fridge and drank it. I laughed when my phone rang; it was a tweet from Jack.

JackAllTimeLow Alex just came running with his pants around his ankles, then he fell on his face. EmilyTaylor nice one!

Kim and I continued laughing as we replayed the scene in our heads. Alex just shook his head and drank his red bull. I know I should be afraid, because when he gets revenge, it's not really pretty. But I wasn't worried, because I couldn't think of anything worse than the last time. It was Halloween, and I had pulled a harmless little prank on him. He had come out of the shower and I knocked on his front door, and then ran away, forcing him to come outside in his towel, then I locked him out of his house and stole his towel. He was pissed and got his revenge, I was trying to win Jonas Brothers tickets from Hot 995, so he called me and told me that he won the tickets and that he was going to give them to me. And I believed him, and I was so excited and after I had told Kim and everything he told me he was kidding. I almost killed him...

We had been on the road for a little over 2 hours and I was getting bored. Jack and Kim were watching Twilight, yes Twilight. Rian and Zack were in the back playing Halo and I was sitting in my bunk wondering what kind of revenge Alex was planning for me. I sighed and picked up my phone and texted him.

Me: Alex, it was just your friends, it's not like I pantsed you in front of your fans.

Alex: Too late.

Me: come on! I'm bored.

Alex: I don't care.

Me: dick.

He stopped answering. I threw my phone and got up and headed for the bathroom. I decided that I would take a shower before we arrived at the Venue. I closed the door and turned on the water. Bus bathrooms are always so small and I always felt so crammed in them, especially when I had four, impatient, smelly boys waiting for the shower yelling at me to hurry up, so starting early was definitely a good choice. The hot water was soothing against my skin. I closed my eyes and went about my business, until I heard the bathroom door open, and a too familiar voice filling the tiny room.

"Told you it wasn't over Em, now go ahead, come and get me." Alex laughed as he ran out of the bathroom, with my clothes, and towel. Fuck he's stupid, he's running on a bus, that's moving, he doesn't have many places to hide!

"ALEX! FUCK YOU! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" I yelled turning off the shower and stepping out of the shower. Fuck…he took everything. I had nothing to cover myself with, which was probably the idea. I closed the door before someone could see me.

"What the hell am I supposed to do?" I looked around the bathroom. It was empty. My clothes were gone, my towel, there was nothing. I could cover my crotch and maybe like one breast but there was nothing I could do about my ass. After about 2 minutes, I didn't care. I was freezing and I wanted my clothes back, so I threw open the door and shouted, "GASKANK I WILL FIND YOU AND KICK YOUR ASS!" I started running toward the back, assuming that's where he would go since the front was probably filled with people and windows. Running past my bunk, I realized I could just cover up with my blanket (seeing as all the luggage was underneath the bus). So I opened the curtain to my bunk, only to find Alex, laying there, smirking at me.

"What the hell!" I realized he was checking me out so I grabbed the pillow from the bunk above me and put it in front of me. He chuckled and the smirk was still on his face.

"Fucking pervert." I glared at him.

"You already knew that babe." He grinned, yanking the pillow away from me.

"I'm gonna kill you." I lunged at him trying to hit him but his arms caught mine holding me at a distance from him, leaving me unable to move. I'm not smart, because now he can see everything, clearly, for however long he wants, and whoever walks by can have just as nice a view. Fuck my not thinking things through.

"MMMM." He groaned in approval still checking me out.

"Dead. You're dead."

"Since when did lust for you become an organized crime?" He asked pulling me down.

"Since…what the fuck are you talking about?" I asked hitting him, hard.

"Ow…" He rubbed his head, letting one of my arms free.

"Where the hell are my clothes?"

"I don't know." He pulled me down again, wrapping an arm around my waist. What was he doing…He must be on something because this was not normal Alex behavior.

"Yes you do, you fucking perv, so tell me where they are before I kill you!" I struggled to get away from him.

He sighed in defeat and pulled them out from under his ass. Ew… "You're mean." He let me go.

"You're a dick." I got up and went back into the bathroom and got dressed.
