__________________________________________________________________________________________

Since the tour was going around to different states, Will had been following us by his car so that he could be with me. It had been about 4 weeks. We were officially dating and even though he lost his temper at times I really liked Will... I think?

Watching backstage was a lot of fun. It wasn't my first time, but it was Will's and I could tell he was having a really good time. Alex just kept sending me smiles and I rolled my eyes at him.

All of a sudden Travis appeared behind me. "You know you're singing in Remembering Sunday right?" he asked.

"What?!" I replied. "Why? No! I can't!" I cried now letting go of Will's hand,"Travis!" I whined.

"No buts! Alex wants you to. Please?! Pleeeeease?!" he asked. "No Travis! Not the puppy dog face!" I said.

"Pleeeease?" he asked. I laughed and smacked his arm. "Fine, I'll do it...but only for Rian, Zack and Jack!" I said.

Will looked uneasy, "Hey, relax. I'll be back in a little," I said smiling. He just stared to the stage as the part I was going to sing came up. I loved to sing, I sang for the first time with Alex at a school talent show in high school.

Recently I'd been singing more, the guys always want me to perform with them but I get too scared.

I grabbed the mic that Travis gave me, Will giving me a small kiss on the cheek for good luck. I sighed before entering the stage to sing my part.

"I'm not coming back, I've done something so terrible, I'm terrified to speak but you'd expect that from me. I'm mixed up I'll be blunt now the rain is just washing you out of my hair," I sang smiling at Alex, I honestly couldn't stay mad at him. Which I hated.

I kept singing, "And out of my mind! Keeping an eye on the world! From so many thousands of feet off the ground, I'm over you now I'm at home in the clouds, towering over your head!" I finished as the crowd cheered loudly.

"I guess I'll go home," Alex and I harmonized together. The audience erupted in cheers louder than ever.

"Everyone! This is my best friend Sarah. AKA, Rian's sister, give it up for her!" Alex said causing the crowd to cheer loudly again.

I smiled and hugged Alex walking off stage, Alex grabbed my wrist though, pulled me back, and kissed my cheek in a 'best friend' way. I blushed and smiled waving to the crowd as I got off.

The other bands told me how well it went. Will just stood there looking so pissed. "Will? You alright?" I asked. He just looked away.

"Let's go outside and talk," I said. He stormed off out by the bus and stomped away. We both got on the bus.

"Will what's wrong?" I asked. He looked away. I made him turn toward me, "Hey...are you alright?" I asked.

"No. You DO have a thing for Alex, and he clearly has a thing for you," he said.

"No! We're best friends. That was nothing! Honestly!" I said. He looked down at me and just looked plain pissed off.

Before I could even register what was going on, he shoved me hard to the ground. I hit my head on the back of the couch and I winced.

He grabbed me back up my my bicep hard, causing a bruise to form. "You're just a slut," he said.

I winced and wanted to cry right there. I mustered up the courage to yell right back. "Fuck you! Fuck you and your stupid way of dealing with problems! Do you honestly think hitting a girl is any way to solve anything? You're nothing but a coward!" the words flowed from my mouth.

He got super angry then. I saw his fists clench tightly and his face get red, just as he swung his arm back the door opened. But it was too late, he punched me right on the side of my cheek.

I pulled back holding my face before hearing someone yell, "What the fuck?!"

Alex.

He reached out and pulled Will off of me. "Alex, dude! That was nothing, we were just talking and-"

Will didn't even finish the sentance, Alex swung back and decked him right in the nose. "Ah! I think you broke my nose!" he yelled now cupping his bleeding nose.

"Stay away from her, and us! If you ever come anywhere near her again, I will kick your ass," he scowled at him. Will just ran off the bus.

I was too scared to even move. I didn't wanna cry anymore but my cheek hurt and I could feel it bruising. I felt Alex's eyes on me as he spoke.

"Sarah..." he started.

I looked up at him, "Please, please just don't say I told you so," I said, and the tears then fell from my eyes; they wouldn't stop.

He came over and pulled me onto his lap stroking my back and soothing me.

"Shh, it's okay, you're safe now. I won't let anyone hurt you," he whispered.

I just kept crying, part of me was crying for Will, and part of me was crying because I knew Alex could never be mine.

The bus door opened and up came Rian, Jack, and Zack.

"I will KILL that douchebag!" Rian scowled, pacing back and forth. I got up off of Alex's lap.

"Rian...it's okay, it's fine. Alex already punched him," I said. When Rian saw me he engulfed me into a big hug.

"Are you okay?" he asked frantically. I nodded and got hugs from Zack and Jack as well.

"I'm..I'm fine," I said. Jack sat me down on his lap now.

"You need to tell us what happened...everything this time Sar," Jack said.

I took a breath and just as I was about to start the bus door opened. "Alex!" a voice whined.

I rolled my eyes at the voice of Liz. "I need to go get my sweatshirt from your dressing room!" she wailed. He got up immediately.

"Dude, can this wait? Your best friend needs you," Jack said. Alex looked at Liz then back at me.

"I-I promise I won't be long Sar...I'll-" he started.

"Just go Lex. It's fine, whatever," I glared. Liz just pulled on his hand.

"Come on, let's go!" she demanded, and he followed. The sight made more little tears fall from my face. Jack pulled me in for a hug.

"He's being a douche," Zack said rubbing my arm.

"Whatever, I don't need him," I said. When in reality, I knew very well...I did need him. More than I wanted to.
