The SUV pulled up about fifteen minutes later and Alex got out of the drivers seat. I was sitting on the ground, back up against the drivers door. The rain started right after I called Alex to ask if he will pick me up. So I just sat there in the pouring rain to wait for him to pick me up.

Alex walked over to me, a big smile on his face telling me that he wasnt going to let this one slide.

"You've only been sixteen for six months and you already fucked up your car!" Alex said.

I looked at him through my eye lashes, not wanting to give him full attention. I wasnt in the mood.

"Alright come on, lets get you out of the rain," Alex said after a moment of silence. He had a hint of a smile on his face, but he was sincere.

I stood up and walked over to the SUV. Alex surprisingly guided me to the door and opened it. Jack and Rian were in the middle and Zack was in the passenger. I really wasnt in the mood to try to squeeze into the back row of seats. Rian scooted over to the middle part of the seat and I sat down on the side. I slid on my seatbelt as Alex got into the front and clicked his in.

"Woo," He said and started driving. I kept my arms cross and stared at the window. It was too fucking cold in Baltimore at the end of September to be caught in the rain. Plus Alex had the air conditioner blasting in the car. Dumb ass.

They were all surprisingly quiet, and I knew it was because of my presence. I didn't care though. I was too pissed off and cold to care about anything at the moment.

"We'll get your car in the morning?" Alex said, but it sounded like a question. More like he was asking for my approval. I just nodded.

Finally we got home. Jack, Rian and Alex dashed for the porch to get out of the rain. Zack jogged behind them and I took my time walking up. Alex got the key into the front door and pushed it open and all the guys ran in. They left it open and I walked in, shutting it behind me.

I walked up stairs immediately and shut the door. Thats when I realized that I had left my backpack in the car, so I cant use homework as an excuse today. I am so fucked.

I leaned against my bedroom door and slid down and thats when I burst. I was so fucking tired of it all! I only have two friends (that I love very much) and the rest of the school gives me hell. Every time I try to defend myself and fight back, I get in trouble and get detention. Then I get yelled at by my parents and grounded for whoever knows how long. Then I have the brother who doesn't care about me and his pack of idiots who don't know what the fuck is going on.

I was so stressed and tired of it. All of my frustration leaked out through my tears.

After my crying fest on the floor, I got up and changed. I had nothing to do afterwards since im grounded from phone, computer, and television and my iPod died which I cannot charge without my computer, I have no homework (Which I am not complaining about), and I don't want to run into Alex. So I just laid on my bed and recovered myself.

I stared at the wall and saw, behind a pile of clothes that didn't fit (mom told me not to throw them out because she was going to donate them) that was building up and hung from my party lights, a collage of All Time Low I had created back freshman year. It contained of pictures I had found or printed out and pinups from magazines over the years. I hadn't completely abandoned it, I found an article about two months ago in a magazine and put it up there. But lately I started to forget about Alex and not really care what he or any of hem do anymore.

I tear trickled down my cheek and I rubbed it away. I was not going to let Alex get the best of me. I was not emotional and wasnt going to let my brother change that just because he's a douche.

I was tired and emotionally and physically drained, so I just lied there. I kept fluttering in and out of sleep but it wouldnt stay.

There was a light rap on my door.

"Come in!" I called, curious at which one of them was at my door. And why. I knew it was one of them because my parents weren't home yet.

The door flung open and Alex stood in the doorway, Holding the knob of the door which was wide open, his back almost touching the door frame.

"What do you want?" I mumbled.

"Mom called. Her and dad are going to be late." Alex said.

I groaned.

"So," Alex continued, "We ordered pizza, you want some?"

This was odd. Alex actually got off his lazy ass and walked up the stairs to my bedroom to ask if I wanted some of their pizza? What the hell was this!

I just shook my head and told him no. He just shrugged and answered with "Okay," shut the door and left. That was one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me.

I was bored, I didnt know what to do. So I just layed there in my bed, listening to the rain hit the roof.

The next morning the sun greeted me by hiding behind clouds. I had to walk to school since my car is still in the parking lot and I doubt Alex would want to drive me or even use his car. Mom and dad where already gone as I took off on my journey.

I finally got to the school, which was now packed with students. I decided to go find my car so I can try to pick the lock and maybe get my book bag.

I went over to the spot to where I parked my car and it was empty. Hmm. Maybe I parked it else where. But I swore I parked it here.

I went around looking at the now filled parking lot trying to find it, but I didnt. I started to freak out.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Im so screwed!

Chill Dylan, I told my self. You'll find it. It has to be around here somewhere.

Even as I told myself it, I knew my car wasnt in this parking lot. This is what happens when you leave a $300,000.00 car alone in a parking lot all night.

The bell rang and I decided to drop it. I told myself it will turn up by the time school ends.

The one thing that sucked was that I was without a school bag. I told Lacey and Reese about what happened in the hallway. They, trying to keep me on the positive side, agreed and said that it will turn up, that's it probably still out there. So while I may have gotten into trouble from not turning in any homework, Lacey allowed me to borrow a notebook to take all my notes in for today,and all the classes we shared she will share her notes with me.

We met back up at lunch.

"Wait, your parents grounded you for three months?" Lacey said, her jaw almost touching her plum colored pumps.

"Yup," I said popping a french fry into my mouth. I wasnt happy about this arrangement.

"That just sucks," Reese said.

Lacey recovered herself from shock and sat down and eagerly changed the subject. "So how are things going at home?" I knew what she ment.

I shrugged. " I dunno. Not bad I guess."

Lacey and Reese exchanged glances.

"Uh oh," Reese said.

"What happened?" Lacey asked.

I sighed. "Nothing really. Its just that, Alex came and picked me up last night without harassing me and teasing me the whole way home about why he had to pick me up in the first place."

Reese mouthed "wow" and leaned back. Lacey spoke, "That's um, I guess that's not bad."

"He came up and said that they ordered pizza asked if I wanted to have some," I said.

Lacey's mouth gaped open. "I have now words." Was all she said.

We finished lunch and went on with our day. After school I went out into the parking lot. Most of the parking lot was empty and there was no sign of my car.

I blew out a frustrated breath when I familiar black SUV pulled up in front of me. The passenger window rolled down and a familiar voice, a little deeper, yelled through.

"Get in," He said like he was kidnapping me.

"Alex?" I asked confused. Lacey gave me a shocked expression.

"Get in," Alex whispered glancing around nervously. He had a hat on and sunglasses. I looked around and saw some people stopping and staring at us. Then I knew. By Alex being here he can expose that the boys were back. Well some people knew the boys where back home, but others thought maybe they were in Cali recording or just chilling or visiting the other families. But everyone will know I have connections to Alex and will harass us and stand in front of our house day and night. It will also mostly likely cause a riot to break out. Me and Alex may not see eye to eye, but I have duties as a sister of a world known rock star that I have to follow.

I opened the door and Alex rolled the window back up. I shrugged at Lacey who gave me a WTF look and raised my eyebrows in a "I don't know just go with the flow" look.

I quickly slid in and shut the door and Alex sped off.

I was surprised that Alex would drive me home. Alone. As I glanced in the back and realized that neither Jack, Zack, nor Rian was in the car.

"Is this my bag?" I asked flabbergasted as I pulled the familiar baige bag from the back.

"Uh, yeah" Alex said glancing back. There was a moment of silence as it all sunk it.

"Where the hell is my car?" I asked. adrenaline from the rush of hurrying into the car still rushed through my veins.

"We went to get it this morning," Alex said.

I was shocked that Alex would do something nice for me. I was shocked at everything he's been doing since he's gotten home. First picking me up without teasing. Then offering me pizza. Then picking up my car. Then picking me up from school unannounced. What the hell did he want?

Alex turned down our street and I saw the drive way was empty.

"I thought you said you got my car?" I asked, frustrated that I keep trying to see my car and it keeps being not there.

"Rian took it to a mechanic to have it fixed," Alex said.

We pulled into the driveway and Alex shut off the car.

I needed to do it. I had to.

I took a deep breath and said the following words: "Thanks Alex, for picking me up," I exhaled. "And taking care of my car."

Alex smiled a little, "You're welcome."

We sat there in silence then it turned awkward. We quickly got out of the car. Alex opened the front door and walked through, leaving the door open and going into the living room where Jack was laughing uncontrollably, and by the feel of it when I walked into the house, it was for no reason.

I shut the door and started going up to my room, trying not to smile at Jack idiocy, but couldn't help it and broke into a grin.

I couldn't help but let out a snicker as I climbed the stairs to my bedroom and heard Alex say to Jack, "What the hell is wrong with you!"

I stopped on the landing and looked over the railing into the living room, at the four morons sitting around, laughing uncontrollably.

I smiled tugged at my lips as I realized how much I missed them and how I yearned to be down there with them. I may never be able to hang with Alex and his friends, but I came to realize that was okay with me. I knew All Time Low and would try to bust any false rumors about them as I could. I was the sister of the lead singer, and would remain true to the band even if they didn't like me.

I shook my head a smiled as went to my room. And for once, I was glad that they were back.
