Jesse works at a small time coffee shop, but soon gets hired as a guitar tech for a band. She doesn't know anything about this band, but she will soon. She meets Alex in her store and hits it off with him, and she soon finds out that it is a small world after all. These are her touring adventures with Alex and the band.
Also, this story is dedicated to a story I read a while ago. It was removed from this website by the author, but it was titled "Take off your Colours" and it made me really happy. It was just so relate-able! The title of this story comes from the Foo Fighters song "The Pretender" and it will be mentioned.
I don't own any of the people, bands, or songs that get mentioned in this story. Enjoy!

So, it was time to take more drastic measures. She won't feel so tough without her boy-toy next to her all the time. And Jack knew just how to wrap Alex around his pretty little finger. { Before some of you get mad about me using Lisa, I just wanna say I mean no offence, I highly doubt she's like this in real life, but for my story she is.

We All Fall Down. (Jack Barakat of All Time Low)
I wrote this a long time ago, when I was 14/15, a time when self harm was something that seemed to just be everywhere in my life. I apologise to anyone who read this before I put this notice here, but I'm pretty sure in every chapter there is some sort of mention of mental illness/self harm. I know I could just take the story down, but it was one of the first ever stories I wrote that I liked and completed, and although I admit now it's not great, it shows progress. And progress is everything. Baby steps. Sorry again. This is an official TRIGGER WARNING. Emma is depressed. She's just been dumped and is being bullied. Can Jack save her or will she break his heart? I own everything in this story apart from lyrics used and bands mentioned, the storyline is my own and I'd appreciate it if you didn't take it or any element of my writing.Complete

"Have a nice night." She hands me the card and keys, and I'm just glad I had my phone charger and my credit card. I get another call, and it's Alex, I decided to take it, "Hey." I say, as strong as I can. "Thank you for finally answering, are you okay? Where are you?" "I'm just straight in town, I'm in a hotel. I'm fine. Is he okay?" - Alex has a little sister, and she learned to keep quiet. Not because he wanted her to, but because she wanted nothing to do with the public eye.

She wanted to forget how bad she was treated, how awful she felt. Finding love, was never in the plan. She didn't look for it, but it looked for her.
