***

Hii! I’m Alexis Purdy, and no I do not have a brother called Ash. I did have a brother though. He was called Tony… I think. Thoughts about my brother are very hazy, might be a symptom from the crash.

I was the only one who survived the crash; I was in a coma for 3 months though. Tony, he died when I was 12, he was 12 as well… we were twins. He died in a car crash along with my parents. I was in foster care until last year. I don’t remember anything about the crash except 2 car headlights coming towards me and my brother, we were sat in the back and my parents who were sat in the front; there was a lot of screaming and loud noises. After that the only thing I remember is going to see 3 coffins on 3 alters. I couldn’t bear to go look at them in the coffins, I just cried into my auntie’s arms on the front pew dressed in black and holding a black rose in my hand which I later laid on my brother’s coffin when they were being buried.

I am now 18 and I am lead singer and lead guitarist of The Rebels of Tomorrow, Also the creator. This band is the only family I need in life... the only family i have.

I live in an apartment with the band which consists of me and three boys… the joys. Max, who is the rhythm guitarist and the screamer. Zander, who is the bassist and Deck, who is the drummer.

My life right now is pretty great, our band is just kicking off and we got news that we are going to be on warped tour 2014 which is a big achievement because we started off practising in the basement of Zander’s parent’s house because they had it all soundproofed. The guys refuse to tell me the dates for the tour and i can't be arsed to look it up so I am always packed just in case the guys try to spring it on me one morning. I know them too well.

There are still those days where I wish my brother was back alive again and when I get flashes of memory back that I don’t even remember happening. I want him back even more. It’s weird and I know something strange is going on in my head. Like when I can’t even remember what my brother looked like and all I see is two blurred pictures next to each other floating in my head, one of Ashley Purdy from BVB and the other who must have been my brother, my mind is getting the sir name Purdy all mangled up.

“COME ON SLEEPY HEAD!” Zander’s voice pounded through my skull.

“Just… just 2 more minutes.” I said back trying to cover my head with my pillow and sunk down under my duvet more.

“I think you might want to get up now Alexis, there could be consequences if you don’t.” Zander was laughing, it was sort of scary. I didn’t know why he was laughing. When Zander laughs you should be scared for your life.

“NO!” I protested like a toddler.

“Fine don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He laughed again.

I poked my head out of my duvet to see what was happening, all the guys were about to jump on my bed!

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” I screamed as the heavy lumps made impact with my poor body.

There was a crack then… but from where?

Just at that moment the legs on my bed broke landing us all on the floor.  

“Well that’s us screwed, all you’re going to hear for the next hour or two is complaining from the neighbours. So good going guys.” I said sarcastically hoping they would hear my sarcasm.

“Nope! We won’t because we are off today.” Max said kissing my forehead, he is my boyfriend of 6 months next week.

“What do you mean?” I asked with puppy dog eyes.
