The Band And The Busker (All Time Low/Alex Gaskarth) *COMPLETED*

In The Shadows

Chapter Twelve: In The Shadows

2 MONTHS LATER

KARA

Today we were on the set of Beyond The Sin's first music video called 'In The Shadows' not to be confused with the song of the same name by another awesome band called The Rasmus. It was so much fun to get to see the song turned into a music video, especially when Dylan and I were directing it because why the hell not.

I was sat behind the monitor watching the last take with Dylan next to me when we see Harry and Ben running towards us holding a laptop.

'Where's the fire, boys?' Dylan laughs.

Harry shakes his head, 'you're going to want to see this girl. Where are Kol and Johnny?'

'Oi Johnny, Kol get your cute butts over here.' Dylan yells, making me jump next to her.

Johnny and Kol walk out of the wardrobe tent and sit down behind Dylan and I staring at Harry and Ben because they didn't know either why they'd be summoned.

Ben clears his throat, 'All Time Low posted a new update about the tour, and you have to see it to believe it.'

He hands me the laptop, and I double click on the tour update so that it fills the screen. Nothing looked different about the tour poster, except when my eyes glanced to the 'with guests' section and widened in shock to no longer see Beyond The Sin listed but a new band called Taste Of Poison.

'What the hell's going on, who's Taste Of Poison?'

Oh shit, I know exactly who the band is Kara. Here let me show you,' Kol takes the laptop out of my hand and types something into the search box.

'Who are they Kol?' Johnny questions.

'Taste Of Poison was my old band. The band I said might hire Max to get back at me for leaving and you guys because Beyond The Sin would be competition.'

Kol turns the laptop around to Taste Of Poison's Twitter page and I look at two posts from two months ago.

@TasteOfPoison: Stoked to announce we have a new vocalist and rhythm guitar @MaxTOP

@TasteOfPoison: Thanks @AllTimeLow @JackAllTimeLow @AlexAllTimeLow for scouting us and getting us signed to @hopelessrecords

If my jaw could hit the floor, it would have. I didn't know what to think of this situation. This was a lot to take in, firstly All Time Low had replaced us with another new band, and secondly, we find out it's Max's new band who Alex wasn't a big fan of two months ago.

'This is bullshit with a capital B.'

Harry was fuming, I'd never seen him pissed off before, but now he was, and it was kind of scary.

'Deep breaths Harry, we'll figure this all out.' Ben pats Harry on the back, trying to calm him down.

'Kara, are you and Alex going strong?'

'What are you talking about Johnny? Yeah, Alex and I are going strong.'

Johnny sighs loudly, 'I don't want you to see this, but I think you need to see these Instagram posts from Max over the last two months.'

He hands me the laptop back with Max's Instagram page on the screen. I scroll through the photos from the last two months, and I feel my heart breaking in my chest. There were so many of Max with Alex looking quite close from nights out to spending time in the recording studio. Of course, there were photos with the rest of All Time Low and members of Taste Of Poison, but I was hurt Alex had kept this from me for two whole months.
