Chapter 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to the sounds of fighting again...man, was i over it! My brother and my dad...always yelling at each other about something...me and dad fight all the time too...he doesnt like the way i dress, the music i listen to, the way i act, or my attitude, so he pretty much likes nothing about me. I am an outcast at school because apparently i am 'emo'. I dress in tight, skinny, ripped jeans and band shirts/jumpers and i wear about 50 bracelets on my arms...i listen to bands like Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, Bring Me The Horizon, Falling in Reverse, etc. people at my school dont really like that...teachers pick on me and i am bullied every day...i turn to my music...I have no friends, my brother has always protected me and been there for me though...he is like me, quiet, dresses like me...everything about us is the same...except our hair...his is black with bright red tips and mine is dark blue that covers most of my face...

i decide to get up and get ready for school...i choose my favorite black ripped jeans, with a BMTH shirt and put all my bands and bracelets on that cover up the years of torment and pain that i inflicted upon myself...i pick out my black converses and put my Asking Alexandria hoodie in my bag incase it gets cold...i do my hair, straightening it and teasing the back. i put on my eyeliner and mascara before checking myself in my full length mirror...i dont know why i bother, its not like anyone cares. i pack my books and things for school, then walk down to face my dads judgment of how i look 'emo' and how he is ashamed to have me and Matt (my brother) as children.

"Couldnt you put on something that is a little less shitty looking?" he asks...i ignore it and continue on to the kitchen to pack my lunch, before leaving to walk to school.

As i walk along the path i kick rocks and think about how good it would be to just leave and start again...i wished for something to get me out of here...i decide against going to school today, and i walk to the park..i sit there on my phone tweeting, when Ben Bruce tweets that Warped Tour starts soon and that they were stopping in my town before heading off! i started freaking out...Asking Alexandria was going to be in my town!! Ben Bruce was going to be in my town!!! i refreshed my feed and he had tweeted that they were almost here and they would be stopping to have a little bit of air...i tweeted him saying to come to the park on the main road...i sat there for about 5 minutes when my phone buzzed...Ben Bruce had tweeted me. my heart stopped. he had said 'Okay!! ;) see you soon :)'

i screamed. thank god that park was deserted, i wouldnt have cared if it wasnt...then i realised, no way...they wont stop...my heart sank...i began to leave the park when i heard the sound of a bus pulling up...my heart raced...i turned around and my heart stopped. there, on the side of the road was a tour bus...with Asking Alexandria written on the side of it...my band that had saved my life was here...i was going to meet them...oh my fucking god. the door opened, and Sam Bettley stepped off the bus...he stretched and yawned...god he was perfect and adorable...then my world stopped...the man who changed my life and who i was deeply in love with stepped off the bus with the rest of the band, Ben Bruce was standing no less than 30 metres away from me...it took all my courage not to run up and tell him he saved my life and all that bullshit...he looked around and spotted me...the only person at the park...he pointed at me as if he knew me...holy shit...

"hey! are you the one who told me to come here on twitter?" he yelled as he walked over to me...

i barely managed to get a yes out of my mouth...he was close now and before i knew it he was standing in front of me.

"hey there! im Ben, Ben Bruce" he said in his perfect accent.

"uhh...h-hi im uhh....Kayleigh" i managed to say

he asked me how old i was and i told him i was 17 and 18 in 4 days. he winked at me.

"wanna come back to our bus?"

DO I WANT TO?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME OF COURSE I WANT TO!!

"um, sure" i smiled at him

we walked to his bus, and i reached up to grab onto the bars to steady myself so i could get on safely, my bracelets fell down my arms and i saw him stare at my arm...i quickly hid my scars with my bracelets again...

"its nothing,"

we sat down on the couch on the bus and he looked at me with concern, "you gonna tell me what actually happened? or you going to make me suffer with worry?"

i looked away...embarrassed...he grabbed my hand and held it..."you can tell me, im a good listener"

here i was,l sitting on Asking Alexandria's tour bus with my idol Ben Bruce...and he was actually worried about me...was i dreaming?!

so i thought, fuck it. and i told him. i told him everything, mum leaving, the abuse from my dad, the school torment, how AA saved my life and how much i wanted to leave. he never once interrupted. i finished and i ad tears in my eyes... i had never told anyone any of that. what was i thinking?! its Ben Bruce! he is going to leave anyway.

he gave me a hug, and we just sat there hugging, which was broken by Danny and the boys running on to the bus singing and laughing...they walked past us and James winked at Ben...i looked away. Ben looked at me and said stay here, promise me you wont leave?? i gave him my word.

he went through the door, the other boys had just walked through and i awkwardly sat there for 5 or 10 minutes looking around and playing with my phone. i heard the sound of him coming back and i looked up, he was standing in the doorway, smiling at me...

"what??" i asked?

"well...how would you like to leave and stay with us on the bus?" he asked

my mouth dropped open in disbelief...i started crying and he ran over and held me tight. he was warm and i felt safe in his arms...i choked out a yes and hugged him. the rest of the boys walked in and introduced themselves.

Sam asked "shall we go get your stuff??"

i gave the driver directions and we headed towards my house

ben watched me the whole time with concern maybe? worry? i didnt know...but god, he was so perfect!!

we got to my house and thank god dad wasnt home. i packed my things into my duffel bag, i didnt have much, just a few jeans and shirts and jumpers, i grabbed an extra bag for my straightener and make up and toiletrie things. i wrote a note saying goodbye and for them not to expect me back...

i looked around the house and i felt hopeful for once...this could be my fresh start!

i stepped out the door and onto the bus with my new found friends, ready to start again...
