I woke up in the morning, lazily rolling over in bed to look at my alarm clock. My eyes widened and I shot up, yelping at the pain caused. My whole body was aching... Jeez those guys had one hell of a hit.

I got out of bed, picking up my phone as I stumbled down stairs. "Alex! I'm running super late, like two hours late, can you drop me off?!" I yelled, not even sure which room he was currently in. I frowned as I got no reply, but quickly walked down to the basement as I heard music playing.

I walked into the basement, wincing as I clutched my hip that was really fucking hurting. I saw the band practicing Daydream Away and I could just see how Alex and Jack kept eye contact through the whole song. It was sweet, they really did love each other and I hoped to find a love as precious as theirs one day.

They noticed me and stopped playing, Jack and Alex looking away bashfully with blushes. Ok, now that's just cheesy.

Zack and Rian gasped a little and I looked down, knowing they were probably shocked by my face which looked worse then yesterday. "Dan, mate, they got you bad... You alright?" Rian asked, standing up from his drum kit.

"I'll beat their asses if you want." Zack murmured, but I knew he was too much of a sweet guy to do that to someone. His muscles were huge, but so was his heart. I shook my head, "It's alright Zack...." I smiled assuringly before turning to Alex, "Lex, I'm really fucking late. Can you drive me?"

"Watch your fucking language." Alex muttered, causing us all to laugh a little. "You've got the day off. You're still pretty beat up, so I left you to sleep." He answered, causing me to smile. "Thanks, bro."

I was about to turn and walk back upstairs before my phone started ringing. "Hello...?" I asked as I answered it, a grin forming on my face as I heard Phil's soft voice. "Hey, Phil!" I saw Alex's head whip round at the mention of Phil's name.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Alex gave me the day off... Yeah, just a bit of swelling and pain." I answered his questions, my face heating up slightly as he told me he had to go to lessons and then called me 'Babe.'

Alex raised an eyebrow, "What did he want and why are you blushing?" He questioned, placing his green and white guitar down. Jack nudged him and I could hear Jack mutter 'it's none of your business' to which I smiled gratefully.

"Alex?... Can Phil come round later? Just to hang out, that's all." I asked hesitantly, waiting anxiously for his answer.

"Dan... No. I'm sorry, bro, but there's no way the guy you like is coming round. No way."

I sighed. "I've only known him two weeks! He's just a mate-" I was cut off by Rian. "Aw, has baby Danny got a little crush." He teased, earning a playful hit from Jack, "Ri, leave him alone." I blushed.

I could see Zack trying to convince Alex, but he just shook his head before standing up. "No. Phil is not coming round, okay? I don't care if he's just a mate, I'm not letting him become something more then that."

I rolled my eyes, "You're too goddamn protective! I'm 17, I don't need your protectiveness! I can make my own fucking decisions." I was so sick of Alex always controlling who I hung out with.

The bands eyes widened at my sudden out burst, "Not under my roof you fucking won't!" Alex replied, voice a little louder then usual. I took a deep breath before walking off to my room. Why was he so protective? Yeah, I'm his little brother, but does he not want me to have a social life?

I pulled my phone out of my pocket, texting Phil. 'Hi. Alex still won't allow u round. Or any other guys for that matter. Sorry :/' I soon got a reply, figuring he was texting in lesson. 'Thats fine babe. Don't worry :) I gtg cause miss wallis is giving me death glare. I'll phone later x'

I couldn't help but smile at the message. 'Babe' and a kiss?

I got my Xbox set up, picking out Battlefield three and beginning to play. At least I had the day off.
