'See you guys in a few days!' I said hugging my band mates' goodbye. We started along the path back towards Alex's car.
'That was really amazing Strom, I knew you were a good singer but it takes a great one to put that must feeling and emotion into a song.' He babbled,
'Thanks' I said smiling at him.
'I was really sad when I wrote those lyrics, Jenna had just left me. I couldn't bare it. I was so alone but I found out that I had friends and the people I needed right in front of me, even jack.' He said with a wink, I laughed. 'Hailey where I'm going with this, I know how you feel and just know I'm always here for you.'
'Your sister gave me the sae lecture yesterday and thanks for being there for me'
The car ride home was quiet but not awkward, my jaw was really starting to hurt, we got back to the apartment and I headed into my bathroom. I removed the foundation I covered it with this morning. My breath caught, there was an ugly purple bruise in the shape of a first across my cheek.
'Hey Hail, do you think I co-' Alex said strolling into my bathroom, he stopped when he caught sight of me in the mirror. He crossed the bathroom quickly and cupped my face in his hands inspecting my face.
'What did that prick do to you?' he said angrily
'It's nothing, it's just a bruise..' I said trying to break his grip
'Hailey.' He mumbled running him thumb over my cheek. I broke down.
'Please don't tell Jack, he'll over react and I don't want trouble.' I said crying and covering my face with my hands, I didn't want Alex to see me like this.
'Oh, Hails,' he said hugging me. he pulled my face up and brushed the tears of my cheek with his thumb. I stared into his chocolate eyes.
'I have to go.' I said quickly dashing out the apartment slamming the door behind him. I covered my cheek again, worrying about Alex.
ALEX PERSPECTIVE.
I looked into her pale blue eyes and even though she was crying she still looked as beautiful as ever. How could that dick hurt her like this, how did he like with himself. I had to teach him a lesson.
'I have to go.' I muttered leaving her alone in the bathroom. I didn't mean to slam the door but I was too angry to care. I ran to my car and drove to the dicks house.
'What is it?' said the douche opening the door. I punched his straight in the nose.
'HOW DARE YOU HURT HER!' I yelled at him 'SHES SO PERFECT!' I said punching him again. 'SO BEAUTIFUL!' his blow then came hitting me in the lip. I kneed him in the junk and ran back to my car leaving him rolling on the floor groaning. I did a wrong thing, but I couldn't stand around and watch her being hurt by him. I drove back to Hailey, I burst through the front door to Jacks place.
STORM PERSPECTIVE.
I sat on the couch with Jack and Ronnie. We were watching a movie, I didn't know which one. I haven't been paying any attention. My mind was on Alex, where was he? He had been gone for hours. The front door burst open, I spun round to see Alex standing in the door way. He had a burst lip which was bleeding like crazy.
'Alex!' I said running over to him. It then came to me what he had done 'why?' I said
'I couldn't stand seeing him hurt you.' He said his lip giving him a slight lisp. It would have been really cute is the situation wasn't so serious. I touched his lip, he winced. It was a really bad cut and was going to get infected if we didn't clean it soon.
'What the fuck happened?' said Ronnie running over to Alex.
'I'll tell you later, but now we have to clean you up.' I said taking Alex's hand and dragging him to the bathroom. I ran a cloth under the cold water, I started dabbing it on Alex's lip. He kept quiet while I cleaned him.
'Time for boo boo spray.' I said pulling a can of disinfectant out of the first aid kit.
'No, not the boo boo spray!' Alex said in mock horror. I sprayed it on the cloth, he stood up and made a dash for the door. I grabbed his arm and spun him round, he ran to the other side of the room. I attacked him from behind jumping on his back.
'To heavy!' he said pretending to gasp for air 'Going down!' he said collapsing to the floor, I laughed as I landed on top of him. Placing both elbows on his shoulders I shoved the cloth on his face.
'It burns!' he yelled 'IM MELTING!' I held it on his face for a few seconds
'See, not so bad.' I said soothingly, my face inches from his.
'I'm sorry about this Hails, I really shouldn't have done it.'
'It's not your fault Alex' I said taking the cloth off his face but not making any move to get off him. I looked at him for a minute trying to figure out what he was thinking, he was so hard to read.
'Hailey, if you are going to kiss me could you hurry up and do it?' he said playfully. I smiled pushing my lips to his. This was not how I wanted to kiss him for the first time, I wanted fireworks and roses but I got lying on top of him on my bathroom floor when he had a burst lip. It was perfect though. He groaned, I forgot his lip.
'Does it hurt?' I whispered to him.
'Yeah,' he said with a smile 'but I don't care.' I laughed standing up and pulling him to his feet.
'Does this mean I have a girlfriend?' he said smiling
'Do you want one?' I said grinning like an idiot, what did he see in me? he nodded and I kissed him again, it felt so good.
'Hey are you guys ok in here? Whoops!' said Jack wandering into my bathroom, I grabbed the spray grinning at him evilly.
'No, no! please not the spray! I didn't mean to interrupt!' he said running away. I chased after him. I chased him around for ages. Until I finally pinned him down on the couch, spraying him to death.
'Okay, okay! I'm sorry I walked in on you guys making out!' he begged. I sprayed him one more time for good measure before getting off him.
'What the hell is going on?' Ronnie asked walking out her room.
'I caught Alex and Storm making out and she sprayed me to death. A massive split across Ronnie's face. I elbowed Jack in the ribs.
'Fuck!' he grunted
'That's for being honest' I said
'Yeah, Jack,' said Alex walking out the bathroom. 'no being honest, it just ends up in pain for you.'
'Shut up Gaskank.' said Jack flicking him off.
'Boys, boys! Behave!' I said laughing at their immaturity.
Though I guess I can't talk, I just spent 10 minutes chasing my brother trying to spray him with disinfectant.
