A/N: Someone requested recently that I write an All Time Low Fan Fiction, and well... here it goes.

~ 2003 ~
"Alice, we can't have a girl in our band - you understand that, right?" my brother, Jack says and I stared at him.
"Why not?"
"Because, we're strictly a no-girl band, plus we've already got enough people. I'm sorry Alice, but you can't join my band" he stares at me, this was probably the only time I've ever seen my brother this serious - and with each word, he ripped more of my heart out.
"W-"
"Jack, are you ready to go?" Alex jogged into the room and glanced at me before he turned back to Jack, "Jack, come on man"
"Coming Alex" my brother quickly went to Alex's side and I stared at the two, hatred boiling under my skin.
"Fine, I don't need you guys anyway, have fun with your band Jack. I suggest you treat them better than you've treated me, because they're all you've got left" I spat angrily and turned my back on him before I ran out of the room in tears. I was two years younger than Alex, one year younger than my brother - and yet as soon as Alex came into Jack's life it's all about him.
I hate him. Alex Gaskarth is the reason my brother doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, and so be it. I'm sick of trying to get my brother to practice with me, to show me how to play the guitar better than I already am, and now, I've been kicked out of my brothers band before I even get into it.
Picking up the house phone I dialed my aunt's number, "Hello?"
"Aunt May, it's Alice"
"Alice, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"I was wondering if your proposition of moving in with you was still on the table"
"Of course it is... Alice, what happened?"
"Alex, Alex is what happened. I'm done with the bullying and no friends thing, I'm done with Jack and I'm done with Alex stealing Jack away from me. Aunt May... I need to leave..."
"I'll be there tomorrow, I'll get the first flight out there, okay?"
"Okay"
"Put your mom on the phone Alice"
I walked around the house and handed the phone to my mom before I hurried to my room and started to stuff all my clothes into a black suit case and then packed my two guitars in their cases and ran to the bathroom. After three hours of stuffing everything into my suitcase, that soon bulged, causing me to sit on top of it as I tried to zip it up while making sure it wouldn't explode on me.
And then I sat and waited for my Aunt to come and get me, my passport on my lap with my glasses as I silently cried in my room, waiting for morning to come.

The door bell rings and I ripped the front door open to find Alex there, "Is Jack home?"
"He's in his room" I let him pass and I stared out into the street, looking for my Aunt.
"What are you doing?"
"Waiting for someone" I snapped at him, annoyed that he isn't doing his usual thing of going to my brothers side.
"Who? Why - Alice, why is there a suit case and two guitars here..? Alice, why-"
"Why do you want to know?! What's it to you anyway? You took my brother away from me - what else do you want from me?! My guitars?! My freedom?!"
"Woah" his eyes widened and he stepped away from me as I glared at him with hatred.
"You made my brother hate me, you kicked me out of the band I helped my brother build - you've already taken anything that was important to me, so why don't you just leave me alone"
"Alice-"
"ALICE!" I turned to be engulfed in the arms of my aunt, "Come dear, our flight leaves in forty minutes and we have to get to the airport in ten to check-in"
"Airport - wh - Alice?!" Alex started to freak out as my aunt grabbed my suit case, ignoring him as I grabbed my acoustic guitar and put that on my back and picked my bass guitar up in my right hand, "JACK! JACK GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Aunt May and I hurried to the waiting taxi and put everything in the boot before we climbed into the back seat, "Was that him?" she whispers to me.
"Yeah..." I mumble and look back to my house to find Jack standing in the door way in his white underwear, staring at the taxi in shock.
"Are you sure about this?"
"No, but what else do I have here now? I already know the kids at school were going to ambush me tomorrow for kicks, and my own brothers and sister don't want anything to do with me"
"Won't you miss your parents?"
"Yes, but I just can't stay here anymore" the taxi started up and I looked back to my house to see Jack running down the stairs and towards us, the taxi started to drive away and I saw Jack's mouth move as he followed us with Alex on his tail - well, Jack's tightie whities.
I sunk in my chair, not giving them another look as we turned the corner and continued down the road, closing my eyes I breathed out and let a small smile pull onto my lips as I stared down at my grey ACDC shirt, black skinny jeans and converse.
Finally, I'm free from them.
