I thought I hadn't said much about the Barakat's family, I thought I would make it kinda tragic so I added in some drama about the family, I'll extend the family story in later chapters.

The next few weeks were complete and utter mayhem. ( See what I did there? : D) between the album coming out, photo shoots, band practice and song writing. I barely had enough time to sleep never mind spending time with my new boyfriend. God I loved to say that. One of the few times I got to spend time alone with Alex was a few days before tour. I walked into Jacks apartment Alex was sitting watching TV.

'OK the album is coming tomorrow and I have about two hours before I collapse of exhaustion. We are doing something, together, and you are going to enjoy it.' I said flopping down on the couch next to him.

'Yes miss!' he said he said laughing and saluting me. He snaked his arm around me and pulled me against his chest. I listened to the steady beat of his heart, I closed my eyes. When I opened them Alex wasn't there and I was lying across the sofa with a blanket covering me. I looked over at the clock. There was a note taped to it. When I pulled it off it read 4:33. Fuck. I had been asleep for more than 4 hours. I looked at the note.

Hey Hails, you fell asleep about two minutes after sitting down, you need to rest. Tours in 3 days! Take some time off! Love Alex xxx

I smiled putting the note down on the counter, I went through to the kitchen to inspect our food situation. There was none, sighing I called Shane. I was really hungry.

'Hey Shane can I come over and eat your food, our fridge is completely cleaned.'

'Sure Storm, see yah in 15 minutes'

I hung up the phone and grabbing my house keys I headed out. Shane lived a 15 minute walk away and considering I don't own a car I walked. About 13 minutes later I turned into Shane's street and I saw him. What the fuck was he doing here? I walked down the street staring at my feet, I walked past him. I thought I was safe but at the last minute he grabbed my wrist and spun me round.

'Can I help you sir?' I said pretending I didn't know him

'Sorry.' He said 'you just remind me of my daughter?'

'Sorry my, I don't know you.' I said biting my tongue to hold in my tears.

'Sorry again miss' you seem a nice girl. You couldn't be my daughter. Have a nice day now.' He said walking of shaking his head. The tears came then. I ran up to Shane's house.

'Hailey, what is it?' he said pulling me into the house. I sat crying on Shane's couch while he called Alex to come and pick me up. He sat with an arm around me until Alex showed up though He was there within 5 minutes, we sat for another 5 minutes while he rocked us back and forth I just cried against Alex's chest while he stroked my hair. We drove home, I pressed my forehead against the window, I had such a bad headache. I walked into the apartment and lay down across the couch. I had a sick feeling in my stomach. Churning anger, sadness and betrayal. Alex sat down next to me and I rested my head against his leg.

'It was my dad.' I mumbled to him 'he was on Shane's street.' Me and Jack had never told anyone about our family, but I'm pretty sure everyone guessed it wasn't nice. 'He recognised me, but I said I didn't know him. How could I ever forgive him? He practically killed my mother.' My voice cracked on the last sentence, I could feel the tears coming back. They slid out of my eyes and soaked into Alex's Jeans

'Sorry. I'm making your life hell' I whispered

'Hail?' could you sit up a sec?' Alex said. I sat up, I knew he was about to dump my sorry ass with all my baggage and find an easier girlfriend. I just hope we can still be friends.

'I think I love you?' he said cupping my face like he did when he first saw my bruise. His hand started to stroke the hair on the side of my hair. 'I know you are probably thinking that I'm an idiot and I know we have only been dating 6 weeks but I have known you for since you were 13. I know you will never watch a scary movie unless you know for sure there is a happy ending. I know you hate pineapple but you say you are allergic to it so you never have to eat it. I know you love life. I know you are brave. You have all these amazing qualities I could never dream of having and my mum always said to me if I ever got a girl who was way out of my league to never let her go. So that's what I plan on doing.' I laughed. His face fell.

'No!' I said putting a hand on the side of his face. 'I just thought you were going to dump me, this is a nice surprise. I started stroking him face with my thumb 'I love you too Alex' his eyes lit up and I pulled his face to mine. He pulled me onto his lap, and my hand ran up his neck and into his hair. I started to pull on the soft spikes of his hair. I broke off.

'Alex I can feel your boner.' I said jokingly in his ear. He smiled

'You know that Ronnie and Jack aren't going to be home for at least another half hour.' He said playfully as I twisted a strand of his hair through my fingers.

'No time to lose, then.' I said standing up and pulling him into my bedroom. He smiled closing the door behind us and sliding the lock shut. That turned me on. He pulled of his t shirt before crashing his lips into mine. It was about I minute before his hands slid down my back and started to play with the hem of my shirt. Without breaking eye contact I pulled of my t shirt. He started to kiss my neck, how the hell did I ever live without him. I pushed my hands up into his hair pulling on it. He looked up at me and smiled. I pulled off my skirt. So glad I didn't wear my skinnies today, they take forever to take off, way to till the moment Hailey. I skipped over to the bed challenging him to join me. He walked over taking of his jeans on the way over. He crawled into bed next to me, he started to kiss me again, his arms wrapping around me. He started to unhook my bra strap. How did I get so lucky, I was in bed with Alex Gaskarth.

About 30 minutes later I lay out of breath, Alex's arms wrapped around me. I heard the front door open and then the handle to my bedroom trying to be opened.

'Storm are you okay in there?' I heard Ronnie call from outside my door. I groaned I n annoyance. She seemed to think I was in pain?

'Hailey?' she said in a worried tone

'Ronnie, fuck off!' Alex yelled at the door. I heard Ronnie laugh.

'is she okay? I heard Jack say

'She's fine, she in there with Alex.' Ronnie replied. Jack didn't seem to catch her drift.

'What are they doing?' he said

'Each other' Ronnie said laughing. Jack paused, I could tell he was trying to make sense of what Ronnie said. It seemed to click because about 5 seconds later he said.

'EWWWW!'

I went into a fit of giggles

'You are seriously sexy when you laugh.' Alex said, I blushed. 'and when you blush.' He said quoting himself.

'ALEX STOP FUCKING MY SISTER AND GET OUT HERE, WE HAVE A BAND MEETING!' Jack screamed banging on the door.

'I gotta go before he breaks down your door' he said kissing my forehead. He got out of bed pulling on his t shirt and picking up his jeans.

'Where the hell is my underwear?' he said looking around. I looked up and laughed.

'Doorknob.' I said pointing at them dangling of the door. He laughed and pulled them on with his jeans.

'ALEX!' screamed Jack at the door. Alex pulled it open.

'I'm right here!' he said walking past Jack, I shot Jack a wave and smiled sweetly. He just gave me a death stare before shutting the door.
