Btw dudes, I imagined Storm looking like Juliet Simms (when she had blue hair) and she sings like Hayley Williams. I have taken Paramore songs that fit her situation and pretend they are hers. I'm not very good at writing songs so I didn't write her songs :L
I sat cross legged on my bed, I wrapped the sheets around me and pulled my battered song book out from under my bed. The Only Exception. I scrawled across the top of a page. I sat writing out all my feeling about Alex down onto one page. When I was finished I sat back and smiled at the page.
When I was younger I saw my mommy cry and curse at the wind,
she broke her own heart and I watched, as she tried to reassemble it
and my brother swore that he would never let himself forget (yeah, changed the lyrics a bit)
and that was the day that I promised, I'd never sing of love,
If it does not exist.
You are the only exception (x4)
Maybe I know somewhere, deep in my soul, that love never lasts
and we've got to find other ways, to make it alone or keep a straight face
and I've always lived like this. Keeping a comfortable distance
and up until now I have sworn to myself that i'm content.
With loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
You are the only exception (x4)
I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you are leaving in the morning when you wake up.
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. Woah.
You are the only exception (x8)
And I'm no my way to believing.
oh and I'm on my way to believing.
When I had finished I smiled at the page and slid my song book back under my bed. I stood up and picked up various items of clothing from around my room I headed into the shower, I let the warm water run over me, relaxing every muscle in my body. I stood in the warmth for about 15 minutes before getting out and pulling on my clothes. I wandered out into the living room. Ronnie, Alex, Jack, Zack and Rian were deep in discussion with Matt. No one seemed to notice me so I walked right over and sat on top of Jack.
'Ah Fuck!' he said I got off him 'Geez girl, lose a few pounds.' I slapped him on the back of the head.
'Yu so fat when you go in the shower your feet don't get wet!' I said immaturely laughing at Jack.
'You did not just go there!' he said sarcastically.
'Oh yes I did!' I said sticking my tongue out at him. It ran over the piercing in the right hand side of my lip. He tackled me and pinned me to the couch, tickling me.
'Say the sexiest member of All Time Low is Jack Barakat!'
'Never!' I shouted at him.
'Say it!' he said tickling harder.
'Fine, the sexiest member of All Time Low is,' I gasped 'ALEX GASKARTH!' I heard laughs from behind me.
'Wrong.' He said tickling more.
'Fine, fine, Jack you are the sexiest thing in the world and I was wrong to ever say otherwise.' I choked out.
'Much better.' He said getting off me.
I got up and went over sitting on top of Alex this time.
'Sorry,' I said to him 'He broke me down, he knows my weaknesses'
Alex laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me into his chest.
'Guys, guys! Get a room. I know I gave you my blessing but stop with the public displays of affection' Hack said pretending to puke.
I grabbed Alex by the front of his shirt and pulled him to me, kissing him passionately.
'Okay, I'll shut up just stop!' Jack said shielding his eyes as if there were live snakes crawling all over us.
'Just be happy for me!' I said poking him.
'I am.' He said with a smile.
'So what are we talking about?' I said curious over what they were talking about.
'Tour.' said Zack grinning 'You excited?'
'DUH! I'm going to be paid for doing what I love!'
'Well tour starts tomorrow, so I'd start packing.' Matt said with a wink.
'Yeah, better remind the guys'
The post was pushed through the door. Ronnie walked over and sorted through it.
'Hey, Hails. This one's addressed to you.' She said handing me a heavy envelope. I turned it over. 'It's from hopeless!' I said ripping it open. I squealed.
'What?' said Alex
'It's the first copy of our album!' is said passing it to him. It looked amazing. It was plain black and had a red rose that looked like it bleeding on the front. Alex flipped it over reading the list of songs on the back.
'Crushcrushcrush, that's what you get, Ignorance, Playing God, Let the Flames begin, Monster, Feeling Sorry, All I wanted and Fences.' He said reading the songs
'It's going to be in shops now!' I mean our songs have been on itunes for weeks now, but people can buy the whole album now!'

I jammed clothes into the suitcase, several pairs of normal and multicolored jeans, loads of t shirts, ATL hoodie and underwear. I grabbed my wash bag from the bathroom putting it on top of everything. Then I packed the essential, ipod. Everyone was staying and the apartment tonight (ATL&RD) they were all sprawled out on various mattresses, camp beds and couches. Alex was in my room tonight, after we wore Jack down and he finally said yes. "No funny business Gaskarth" he said though. Oh well, he was already asleep by the time I had said good night to everyone anyway, I crawled into bed next to him and tried to take in how lucky I was. He was lying on his side breathing lightly, his mouth hanging slightly open. I slid over and kissed his cheek.
'I heard you.' He said not opening his eyes but smiling.
'What?' I said frowning, utterly confused.
'I heard you.' He repeated 'when you told Jack you liked me.'
'Oh.'
He smiled and pulled me into his arms.
'You know, I kinda like you too.'
That made me smile and I feel asleep in his arms. I woke up and Alex was gone and the shower in my bathroom was on. I turned round and looked at the clock. 6.04am. how did they wake up this every tour.
'I got your picture I'm coming with you, dear Maria count me.' I heard Alex sing in the shower, how come even in the shower his voice was so perfect.
'Alex could you shut up I'm trying to sleep' I yelled at the door. The water turned off.
'That girl, that girl, she's such a bitch.' He sang from inside the bathroom. I laughed.
'Fuck you!' I grumbled putting the pillow over my head.
I heard the bathroom door open, I could hear him walking over to me. The bed dipped where he leaned on it.
'You are my only one!' he screamed in my ear.
I grabbed the front of his t shirt and pulled his face down. I pressed my lips to his for one long second.
'Good.' I said to him.
