Chapter Twenty Three - The Truth, Whether You Like It Or Not

Sorry for not uploading for a few days. I tried to do it on Tuesday but it wouldn't upload :( And yesterday I was at a gig all night... A fat guy fell on me in a mosh pit :/ But I did get to meet Nick and Pilau from Hadouken! and Josh from Proxies :) I sung at Chris Purcell from across the room too and it turns out he heard me and wished I'd gone over to say hi :3

Also the picture at the side is me and Nick Rice from yesterday :) He gives amazing hugs :) Plus he was warm :3

Chapter Twenty Three - The Truth, Whether You Like It Or Not

"Well," my dad looked like he didn't want to say anything to me. "I just don't think you and Ashley will work out..." I glared at him.

"And why would that be father?!" I snapped.

"Well, Ashley did something the other day after a concert and I don't trust him around you anymore..." I looked at Ashley and he looked away.

"What did he do?" My voice cracked a little and I walked over to my dad, before sitting down beside him.

"I... I cheated on you... I'm sorry..." I looked at Ashley with rage all over my face before running upstairs and jumping into my bunk.

I just lay there, face down, not even caring about anyone else. I took the engagement ring off my finger and threw it out of my bunk, towards the stairs. I didn't care where it ended up, all I knew was that I didn't want it anymore... It was just another bad reminder. I curled up into a ball and faced the wall.

"Hi." The voice was muffled but I knew who's it was... Ashley's. I pushed myself closer to the wall. "I'm sorry you know..."

"Sorry doesn't just make it all OK! I'm not like other people you've dated... I'm not a pushover so now you've fucked up, you'll be lucky to get me back!" I knew I had snapped a little, but I didn't even care. He deserved it.

"Come on... It's not that bad! You knew what I was like!" I flipped and dived on him, causing both of us to fall out the bunk. I landed on him and punched him.

"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU?!" I got up, grabbing my bag, and stormed off the bus. I didn't care where I went, I just knew I was going somewhere.

It was heavily raining but I didn't even care. I was just running. I ended up at a park and stopped to sit down on a bench. I tucked my knees to my chest and began to sob. I couldn't help it. It was pretty much unstoppable. By now the bus would have gone to the next city... It's not like anyone would have tried to find me. I was just that person who tagged along.

"Alex..." I heard an all too familiar voice and looked up...

Jinxx's P.O.V

"Alex..." She looked up at me. Her eyeliner was running down her face from a combination of the rain and crying. "The bus left... And I didn't want you staying here alone on your own."

"You idiot!" She tried to be serious but started laughing a little. "I mean, thank you so much but you'll miss shows if you can't get there!" 

"You know what, I don't even care. They'll have to explain. It'll prove how bad a guy Ashley is and how CC refused to leave the bus!" I knew my voice raised a little but I couldn't help it.

"What? He wouldn't even come? He's meant to be my father and he doesn't even give a shit!" Her voice cracked and upon instinct, I hugged her.

 "It'll be alright... Don't worry..." I gently rocked on the spot.

"So the bus is gone?" I nodded.

"You want to go find somewhere to stay?" She nodded and we walked off down the road.

I felt bad for her. Ashley had led her on. I mean, at least she's not the first to fall victim to his player ways, but then again, should that not have made her know better? I didn't even know... We soon found a hotel and I booked in for a night.

Alex's P.O.V

I couldn't believe everyone had just abandoned me. Only Jinxx came back for me, and he was the one guy who I didn't really speak to. He always seemed nervous and shy but then he did this... I couldn't even thank him enough. We went up to the small, red and white hotel room and I sat straight down on a chair.

"Thank you so much Jinxx!" He smiled at me.

"It's fine." I pulled my laptop out of my back and logged onto Twitter, before running into the bathroom to get changed. I realised I had forgot Steve, the stuffed dinosaur... I came back out from getting changed and picked up my laptop to see message after message about what was happening to Jinxx and what was up with Ashley's relationship. I had a few mentions asking about Ashley. I tweeted:

Sorry guys, but me and Ashley have split. It's a long story but, yeah... That's what happened..."

A few people replied but I ignored them... Until I got one from Ashley...

*Insert twitter name here* "So I'm guessing it's officially off then?"

He was such a fucking idiot... I decided to text him rather than putting my reply all over the internet.

"I don't know how you can think we'd even still be 'on' after what happened. You're a dick Ashley, a total dick! You can't just expect every single person you screw over to just forgive you. Fuck you Purdy. FUCK. YOU!" 

I slammed my phone on the table and Jinxx just looked at me with a confused look on his face. I gave him a look that said 'come on, it's not that hard to figure it out' and he eventually realised...

"Ashley?" I nodded. "Tell you what, just ignore him... He's just a dick..."

Ashley's P.O.V

I felt like an absolute twat. I'd fucked everything up! Plus we were now missing a guitarist thanks to me! I've pretty much ruined part of a tour. Everyone kept telling me how much of a 'bad thing' it was that it'd done... Because I don't feel bad enough do I?!

I was sat with my legs hanging over the end of my bunk with my head in my hands. I knew I had fucked up big time. I lay down in my bunk and looked to the side of me to see a little green dinosaur... It was 'Steve', Alex's stuffed dinosaur that she'd had forever. I held it close to my chest and just stayed there... It was the only thing of hers that I even had, even though I wasn't meant to...

"ASHLEY!" I woke up to see three guys staring at me. I rolled away from them... I didn't want to move. "YOU'VE GOT AN HOUR!"

"An hour for what?" I grumbled and curled up tighter in my sheets...

"Till we go get you your girl back!" I looked up at a smiling Jake and sat up before running to the bathroom to get ready...

Alex's P.O.V

I woke up in the same place I fell asleep; the chair. It was comfortable though so I didn't even care. Jinxx was on the floor just curled up. Considering he was normally first up, he was being pretty lazy today. I went to walk to the kitchen but he stuck his foot out causing me to fall over and land on my face.

"Thanks for that Jinxx!" I was trying to keep a straight face but was failing miserably.

"My pleasure." By now he was stood up bowing as he helped me up. 

We were just laughing as there was a knock on the door. Jinxx when to open it and I heard him sigh as he opened it....

"Alex, it's for you..."
