Too Late

Okay then...

I clean my face and walked downstairs. "Peyt it was an accident and I didn't want you to put a hole in the wall.Don't worry." I walked over and hugged him.  I really didn't think of it as a big deal since I was use to Peyton having his moments. He has anger issues. He blames the boys for his problems...

"I still feel bad for hitting you though Alex. You may not think that it is a big deal but I do." He put his head in his hands. "I am going to go buy some groceries. I am going to invite my family...not the Aussies. One Direction." I went upstairs and brushed out my hair and grabbed my wallet, purse and my driver's licence. "Love you. I will be back." I yelled back into the house.

I got in my car and turned the key which made the engine roar to life. I buckled and turned on the radio since I lost my aux cord. "5 seconds of summer explains the reasoning for the 5sos Final Tour!." I thought about changing the radio before backing out. I didn't. "Well we all haven't been thinking straight. I am sure that all of the fans have noticed." Ashton's voice was raspy like he had been crying.

"Fans from all over have been noticing that you guys haven't been yourselves. Luke, you lost your lip ring while drunk?" The interviewer was getting kind of deep. "I-Well yeah..." I could almost hear the frown in his voice. I stopped at a red light. "You all have changed and we have noticed that Ashton's daughter is missing. Is she gone forever?" the male was questioning all of them I believe. "She moved to L.A." Michael sounded so depressed. The wave of guilt coming over me again. I knew that when they came here that I would be able to get into the backstage simply because I was Ashton's daughter. "Did she move alone? She has been gone almost 3 years. How does that make you feel?" I wiped a tear and started driving again.

"We miss her. She moved with May's brother. Yes, I am aware that she is 20 but she will always be our babygirl. Alexandra Irwin, if you are listening, please know that I miss you and so do Luke, Calum and Michael. We want you to call us. You have our numbers. I love you baby...." You could hear Ashton's soft cries as I turned the station. I pulled into the parking lot of Wal-mart and looked at my phone. 

I grabbed it and clicked on Ashton's contact ID. After a few rings someone answered. "Hello, Ashton Irwin speaking." I took a deep breath. "Dad?" I barely got out. 

"Alex? Oh my god you actually called?"

"I am so fucking sorry Ash. I heard the news. I love you too. Please don't end the band. Please know that Peyt is just trying to protect me. I miss you too. I am sorry for calling during an interview. C-Can I talk to Mikey?" I started crying a little. 

"Oh my god! Princess. I am so sorry about everything. I miss you so much. I am happy that you called. How are things?" Mikey was laughing.

"I'm good. I am in med school and I took out my piercing and dyed my hair like a really light blonde and I just miss you Mikey. I will try and sneak out to the concert. I might not be able to call for a while." I started sobbing and trying to look normal. 

"I will text you later we are still on air. Please reply. I love you." He laughed whenever he got sad. 

"I love you too!" I hung up. What if Peyt was listening to the radio. I was so scared...

Ash's POV

Michael gave me back my phone and I looked at the two other boys. "Was that Alex?" the interviewer asked me. "Yeah. She heard my message and decided to call. She said that she loves us and that she will call again. I miss her a lot up she is doing well." I smiled and looked at Mike. 

"Well I am afraid that that was all the time we had today mates. Ladies and gentleman 5 seconds of summer." he sounded cheerful and walked out. "I wanted to talk to her." Luke whined. "She sounded busy. She is calling later." Mike told Luke. "I guess that she is in Med school and she took out her piercings. I can't believe that she is almost old enough to drink. Wow." Mike started crying a little. "Let's go" I got up and grabbed the mute Calum. 

Cal hasn't talked a lot. He kind of shut up after Alex left. I know that this is a hard time for all of us and Alex is trying her best. 

Alex's POV

I walk into the store and head for the ice cream. I wanted ice cream so badly and I don't know why. "Oh my god! Alex Irwin!" I turn and see two girls about 15 years each. "H-How do you it's me?" I stuttered a bit. "We are like the biggest fans of 5sos and we heard that you moved here." One girl said. "Well Hi!" I smiled and took a picture with them. 

I walked to check out and grabbed my phone, texting Louis. "Thank you fo-oh my god! Can I have a picture?" The cashier pulled out her phone. "How can everyone tell what I look like?" I sighed and walked off. I started driving home. 

As I walked in, I saw Peyt playing with his bandaged wrist. "Do not take it off Peyt." I smiled and automatically feeling sick. I ran into the bathroom puking my guts out. "Peyt. I am going to go lay down." I walked into our shared room and crawled on the bed. I finally fell asleep. 

I woke up to my phone buzzing. 

Babe- How you feeling? :) I miss you and I wish you could stay in London with me again soon.

Me- I am sick. I miss you too babe and I would come back if I had money for a ticket.

Babe- I can buy one?

I put my phone down and got up running into the bathroom again. "Peyt I am feeling horrible." I say as I sit next to him on the couch. He was watching a movie. "Want to go into the doctor's?" He smiled and I shook my head. "Probably just a stomach bug. So... I might be leaving soon." I brought up the trip to London. "For what?" He asked, pausing the movie. "Harry want's me to go see him. It would only be a few days." I smiled. "Mkay." He resumed Unfriended. I got up and went back to my phone calling my boyfriend.

"Babe. Can you get that ticket for me?" I grinned from ear to ear. "Yeah. What day do you want it?" He was clearly typing something. "How about tomorrow. I can pack tonight." I grabbed out my suitcase and started right away. "Yep. I got you for a 7:00 flight, first class." He laughed and I just took in all of his happiness. "Okay. So I will see you tomorrow." We said our goodbyes and hung up. 

" I am leaving tomorrow!" I yelled downstairs. "What time?" He yelled back. "7:00"

I packed clothes for several days and got everything ready for my flight tomorrow morning.
