I walked out to Zack and Rian.

'Where did Alex go?' I said to them

'I dunno he just said he had to go and went home?' Rian said looking kind of confused. I cursed under my breath.

'Don't worry Storm, I'll talk to him.' Ronnie said looking at me with kind eyes. I smiled at her, I didn't want Alex to have heard us. I wasn't ready for a new relationship just yet that was if he even liked me. If he didn't that would just be awkward.

'You wanna go out for lunch?' Ronnie said to me.

'Sure, give me a sec to get ready.' I replied walking into my bedroom, I jammed my song book into my purse with my keys and my wallet. 'Ready!' I said walking out with Ronnie. We headed to Starbucks and ordered coffee. I sat down on a squashy couch and sipped my coffee. I took out my song book with the ATL monster on the front. I started scribbling down all my feelings about David in the beginning to a few songs. (I kind of took songs from other bands to fit Stroms' situation and yeah I know it's kinda a stupid name but it sounds cool : D)

Underdog, just looking to mess you up. It's such a same you had to find out this way. Revenge loves company, three makes it a crowd. So wash your mouth out and sit this one out. I sighed flipped a page and started another song.

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I sighed and shut the book. I looked up at Ronnie who was smiling at me.

'What is it?' I said

'Nothing, you just remind me of me before I found Jack.'

'Uh, okay?' I wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not.

'Hails you are just like me when my boyfriend cheated on me. I shut up, but I found Jack and I opened up eventually. You can't let yourself close up, you need to let your friends in. It really helps writing songs so that's good that you are if you have ever heard the song Misery Business it was about a boyfriend cheating the girl, at least that's how I see it. Plus if you find someone better than David then that's a bonus point' she said with a wink 'that's why I like that you like Alex so much, he needs you as much as you need him.'

I smiled at Ronnie she was just like a sister to me. I mulled over the lyrics to Misery Business, it say her point.

Ronnie and I spent the rest of the day talking and laughing. It was quite late by the time we got home. Jack was asleep on the couch with the title screen of Saw playing over and over again. Ronnie covered him with a blanket and kissed his forehead as I switched off the TV.

'Night Ronnie!' I called heading into my bedroom. I pulled out my guitar and started working out riffs and beats for my song. I fell asleep on my bed fully dressed with my guitar in my hand. I couldn't wait to play it for the band tomorrow.

'Storm?' I heard someone say shaking me lightly

'Fuck off Jack!' I said putting my pillow over my head.

He chuckled 'It's Alex.' I peered out from under my pillow and sure enough there was Alex. Shit, that's probably what I looked like as well.

'Fine, fuck off ALEX.' I mumbled putting emphasis on the last word. He laughed and I felt my guitar being pulled off my bed. He then very loudly, cause it was still plugged into my amp, played a power chord. I covered my ears.

'Alex fuck off I'm getting up!' I said chucking my pillow at him.

'We are leaving now and Alex leave her alone!' I heard Ronnie yell from the kitchen. He left my room chuckling to himself. I changed my clothes and brushed my teeth quickly, I took of some of my make up the red mark had purple edges around it. I covered it again. I pulled a comb through my hair but it wasn't going to sit right. I searched through my drawers and found a grey beanie and pulled it on. I wandered through to the kitchen. Alex was sitting on the counter eating a pop tart, the box next to him was empty.

'Is that the last one?' I said in a sad voice.

'Yes..' he said carefully.

'How dare you eat my last one!' I gasped trying to keep a straight face. He gave me a sad face. I burst out laughing fit. I can't believe he took me seriously, he caught on and started laughing too.

'You are seriously cute when you laugh.' He said with a smile, I blushed. 'and when you blush.' he said with a playful laugh.

'Shut up.' I said giving him a shove.

'Ready to go?' he said picking up his car keys.

'Sure lets go.' I said heading out the door. Alex was driving me to band practice now a days because i didn't have a car of my own. I just used David's when I had too. I slid into the front seat and jammed my headphones in my ears. I let Dirty Work blast through my headphones. We pulled up to Harry's house. Me and Alex walked through to Harry's back yard. I didn't even do the knock I burst into the basement and yelled:

'I'm here! Your lives just got better!'

I went and sat on a stool. We were working through our acoustic songs today. I picked up my guitar, it was blue and had black edging. There were so many dents and scratches across it and the neck was kind of squint but I loved it. We worked through our set. The last song we had to play was therapy. The look on Alex's face when I started to play the intro took my breath away. I smiled and started to sing, I put everything I had into singing I let all my feelings for David bleed into it, the terrible memories of my past the great ones of the present and thinking about the ones that were still to come. By the time I had finished they were all staring at me in awe.

'Hails, that was incredible!' said Shane looking at me, his mouth hanging slightly open.
