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

Love Bites

Chapter Thirteen: Love Bites

KARA

I was in town shopping with Dylan getting a few things to make my room at her and Harry's feel more like my own because I'd moved out of Alex's three days ago and hadn't spoken to him or the rest of All Time Low since. I was still pretty pissed off at the band's betrayal and the betrayal of the label. Who unlike, Alex didn't deny swapping Beyond The Sin with Taste Of Poison because they felt they were more like All Time Low than we were.

Dylan was on the phone to Harry arguing over the fact he'd woken up and was grouchy to find no food in the apartment when it was his turn to do the food shopping, and he'd forgotten like he usually did. Dylan joked he'd have to starve and wait for the two of us to stop by the grocery store after our shopping trip.

'Goodbye, Harry, man up and get McDonald's or something.'

I watch with amusement as Dylan hangs up the phone and growls before throwing it back into her bag. She runs her fingers through her hair and mumbles insults towards her brother under her breath. That's when I notice two guys walking towards Dylan were on a head-on collision course with her.

'Dylan eyes on the path you're about to knock into someone.'

'What do you mean—'

'Easy there love, you could do some serious damage.'

Dylan had walked directly into one of the guys who chuckled and had a British accent.

'Oh my god, I'm so sorry.' Dylan apologises not looking up from her feet, clearly embarrassed.

I look at the two guys and recognise them immediately as Oliver Sykes and Ben Bruce from Bring Me The Horizon and Asking Alexandria. Ben stares at me and then snaps his fingers.

'Wait a second you're that chick from that band, err Beyond The Sin.'

I chuckle, 'yes, I'm Kara that chick from that band. And you're that Ben bloke that British band am I right?'

'I like her Oli, can we keep her?' Ben shoots Oli his best puppy dog eyes leaving Oli to smirk and shake his head.

'Why were you dropped from the All Time Low tour? From what we've heard your bands alright,' his question was blunt, but then again Brits weren't known for our subtleness. Dylan steps forwards, finally looking up from her shoes.

'We were replaced by a new band who were signed not long after us, which our ex-vocalist and rhythm guitarist is a part of after she left us because she thought Kara was ruining the band and hated being replaced. The label decided that Taste Of Poison sounded more like All Time Low so, it made sense to scrap us and pretty much put us on the backburner.'

Dylan clenches and unclenches her fist still feeling angered by the situation our band had been put in by the label and our friends.

'That sucks that you've already been put on the shelf before the release of your first album. A new band needs to tour to get their music out there. I have an idea, though, Ben can I have a word with you?'

Oli pulls Ben aside leaving Dylan, and I stare at each other, not quite believing who we'd bumped into at random on the street. We were both big fans of Asking Alexandria and Bring Me The Horizon.

'Well, now I'm happy I dragged you out of the apartment, Kara. I can't believe I walked into Oli Sykes, I feel like an idiot.'

I pat my friend on the shoulder, at least now she'd learn to keep her eyes on the path instead of looking down at her shoes when walking in public, 'It's okay Dylan. I wonder what they're talking about.'
