Alex's Pov. 

Our lips moulded together perfectly, it had that spark that makes you just want to rip all your clothes off and dance nakedly, if you get what I mean?, in every kiss Ive had in the last four years, that spark has been missing, but with Ella, it was like having a firecracker shoved up your butt and then lit, so all your insides exploded in pretty bright colours and light flashes, we pulled apart our foreheads still resting together, a big smile pulling at the corners of both our mouths. 

"Four years and your still a short ass" I casually remarked at her, she grinned even tighter in my arms, smirking as she did. 

"And your still as scrawny" I shook my head ignoring the raw of the crowd, the flash of the cameras. 

"Not entirely the same, my dick has defiantly grown?" We both burst out into spontaneous laughter, not even noticing that everything were were saying was playing out into the crowd from Zack's discarded mic stand, I grabbed tightly onto her hand and took the mic in my other, not letting my eyes leave her, like If I blinked she would disappear. 

"That was Remembering Sunday, and this is Ella Jacobs ALIVE AND IN THE FLESH" I screamed out into the mic causing a colossal reaction from both her and the crowd, her cheeks glowing almost as bright as her hair. 

"Thank you Warped tour, you never fail to amaze me" I placed the mic back in its stand and tugged on Ella's hand leading her off stage and back to the guys, she can explain everything in the morning right now I just want to hold her. 

 So that's what I did, we went straight back to the bus and into my bunk, I took her into my arms and we talked about everything, the weather, the news, life in general, I didn't even care I had her in my arms again, my face buried in her masses of red hair, life could start again. 

"You cant keep avoiding the topic, you have to tell me Ella" She stiffened in my arms, 4 hours in counting of pointless conversation, even if it was the best of my life I still needed to know, I had to know. 

"I know" She sighed heavily moving to sit up in my bunk, I manoeuvred myself up to face her, our hands linking with the others, I was thankful the guys decided to crash elsewhere tonight, we need to have this talk. 

"Why did you do it, why didn't you just wait for me?" I couldn't hold It in any longer I had to ask her the burning question, I cant help but imagine what life would be like now if she did, would we still be together?, engaged?, or just a distant memory of a love long forgotten.

"I didn't want to drag you into it, or Rian if he hurt you I wouldn't have forgive myself, I had no idea he would go as far as... he did... dads aren't meant to do that right?" She trailed off staring at a spot to the left of my head, I could tell she was reliving the memory's, I reached forward and pulled her into my arms comforting her. 

"he wasn't your dad Ell, he was nothing to you in life and hes nothing to you in death" I babbled on trying to put a smile some colour just some sort of emotion onto her face, but nothing, she was cold, dark, jaded, all of her once childlike innocence seeming to disappear a look that aged her so much it was almost scary. 

"I had to leave Alex, you didn't see him he was just lieing there, I thought they would arrest me and then that would fuck up ATL and then every ones life's would be ruined, I couldn't do that you to, to any of you, I was better of dead" finlay she broke, tears spilling out over her lashes, I held her tighter and thought back to her dads motionless body, and then the letter. 

"I did see him Ella, that's how I knew you were gone, me and Rian broke into the house found your dad lying there dead suicide note on the floor, he said he'd killed you, the police looked everywhere, just not hard enough" She gasped in shock pulling back to look me in the face. 

"What did you do, after you ran I mean?" I used my blanket to softly wipe the tears away from her eyes as she told her story. 

Almost an hour later, after I had answered every question I could possibly think of on the topic I grabbed onto her tiny waist and pulled her back down to lie with me, both on our sides facing inwards, I brushed her bangs away from her eyes gave her a quick peck on the forehead, noticing how tired and fragile she looked, I owe my life to Robert highcroft he protected her when I couldn't. 

"So for the last for years everytime I saw one of the youmeatsix boys, talked to them played with them you were almost a stones throw away, that's kinda crazy" She nodded at me, yawning silently as the last few tears cascaded down her perfect cheeks. 

"Were together now lex, and I promise I will never let go again" I let a big smile spread across the entirety of my cheeks, I reached over to turn off my bunk light and let her snuggle deeper into my side, its like just touching wasn't enough anymore, I wanted to wear her like a second skin pull out the superglue or something.

"I love you Ella" I kissed the top of her head one last time and tightened my grip on her tiny waist. 

"I love you too lex" And that's all Ive ever wanted for the last four years, she said she didn't believe in love, I called her bluff.
