Manage Me
Remembering Sunday
When I got home, Alex was sitting in the living room with five other guys I didn’t recognize.
“Alex, who’s the hottie?” The lanky brown haired one asked.
“Jack, that’s my assistant, Brooke.” Alex said through his teeth, giving all the guys a look. “Brooke, this is Jack, Zack, Rian, Matt, and Vinny.” he said, gesturing around the room. They all said hello.
“So what are we doing?” I asked.
“Um, we’re just planning a party tonight since a couple bands are going to be in town these next couple days.” Alex explained.
“Anything I can help with?” I asked.
“Um, can you call everyone under We the Kings, Hey Monday, The Maine, and The friday Night Boys?” he asked, handing me his iPhone.
“Yeah, sure.” I smiled and took his phone, beginning to call people. The first was Cassadee Pope. I called her.
“Hello?” she asked.
“Hey, is this Cassadee?” I asked.
“Yes...who is this?” she asked.
“This is Brooke, Alex’s assistant. I just wanted to tell you that he’s having a party tonight and he’d like you to be there.” I told her.
“Put Alex on the phone.” she demanded. I obliged.
“Hey Cassie-boo.” Alex laughed. His expression became a frown. “You what? No, it’s not a sex kink. Yes, she’s really my assistant. Yes, I’m paying her enough. Jeez, Cass. Okay. Alright. So you’ll be here? Awesome.” he said and hung up.
“I’m not even going to ask.” I said.
“Yeah, that’d be a wise choice.” Alex nodded, giving me the phone back. I continued calling until I’d contacted everyone but Andrew in The friday Night Boys. I’d wait to call him last because I’d had a crush on him for a while. I never thought I’d get the chance to talk to him.
Trying not to let the guys know that I was nervous, I pressed his name and put the phone to my ear. It rang twice, then Andrew picked up.
“Hey Alex.” he said and my heart nearly stopped.
“Um, it’s actually Alex’s assistant, Brooke.” I replied.
“Hey, Brooke. What’s up?” he asked.
“Um, he’s having a party tonight and you should come.” I said.
“Ooh, sounds cool. I’ll be there.” he said.
“Awesome. Bye.” I said back and hung up.
I turned to Alex.
“Well, that’s everyone.” I told him.
“Awesome, thanks so much. Now go get ready!” he grinned and shooed me.
“Alright.” I laughed, running upstairs.
I showered and let my hair air dry, leaving it in its natural blonde loose waves. I picked out a cute outfit and put it on. I put on a little makeup and double-checked my appearance to make sure I looked okay.
Then I ran downstairs to a party already in full swing. I approached Alex, who was talking to Cassadee and Andrew. Oh boy.
“There you are!” Alex smiled.
“Here I am.” I replied.
“Hi, I’m Cassadee. It’s nice to meet you.” Cassadee grinned.
“Brooke.” I said.
“Come on, tell me all about being Alex’s bitch.” she said, putting an arm around my shoulders and leading me into the kitchen. We talked and drank, until Rian showed up.
“And like, oh my god, your hair is so pretty Cassadee!” Rian said in a valley girl accent.
“Robert, don’t you have small animals to terrorize?” I asked. He gave me a dark look.
“No, I actually came over to talk to Cassadee, so shoo.” he said, waving me away with his hand.
“Kay, I see how it is then.” I replied, walking out.
I finished the drink in my hand and went onto the makeshift dance floor. I danced with Alex, Zack and Andrew. I got thirsty so I pushed my way back to the kitchen. Someone wrapped their arms around me.
I turned to find a man with long red hair. Travis Clark. He kissed me and groped me and shoved me so I was trapped between him and the wall. Apparently, none of the people in the kitchen noticed this, so he kept going.
“No.” I gasped, trying to get him off me.
“Sluts don’t say no, sweetheart.” He said and tried harder to get my clothes off.
“Travis! Back off!” Someone yelled, shoving the guy off me and hugging me.
“Brooke, I’m so sorry. Are you alright?” he said soothingly.
“No.” I sobbed.
I hadn’t noticed I’d been crying until now. I looked up sadly and saw Alex. Shit. I tried to pull away from him, but he scooped me up and carried me to his room.
“Oh my God,” I whispered, sobbing into his chest.
“It’s okay. I swear I had no idea, he’s not usually like that.” Alex said quietly, rubbing my back.
I finally looked up into his big brown eyes. They were so hypnotizing. It might’ve been the alcohol in my system, but I leaned in and kissed him and he didn’t pull away.
In what seemed like mere seconds, our clothes were off and he was hovering over me, a question in his eyes and on his lips. I simply nodded.
I had no idea what I was doing, but I wasn't going to stop and neither was he. I had no idea where this would leave us, if anything would change at all, but I didn't care. Tonight's events had caught up with me, fogging my head so that logic was nearly impossible. I knew in the back of my head that I'd regret this tomorrow.
“Alex, who’s the hottie?” The lanky brown haired one asked.
“Jack, that’s my assistant, Brooke.” Alex said through his teeth, giving all the guys a look. “Brooke, this is Jack, Zack, Rian, Matt, and Vinny.” he said, gesturing around the room. They all said hello.

Notes
Brooke's Outfitalso, please go comment and rate SociallyAwkwardRocker's stories

and Princess
xoxo i love you all!!
I've been stumbling across stories I've read, and checking them out again since I seem to forget them after it's been a while. This was one of those cases.
Reading this again, and after reading other stories on here and Mibba, I've realized that with my last comment, I was a bit off. Yes, Brooke and Alex's relationship was cute when they were together/sweet to each other, but reading it again, their relationship was a bit abusive. Neither is completely innocent, but the version of Alex you wrote in this took it to the next level. I realize a lot of it was because of his insecurities, what he dealt with in the past, etc., but Brooke didn't deserve any of that. When she did mess up, she definitely didn't take her anger to the levels he did.
Idk, I'm conflicted because again, when they were together, it was cute, but then it just got sad when they weren't. I'm not sure why she put up with as much as she did.
Your writing is still good, though. Just wish they didn't have so many downs in their relationship. It got really sad at a lot of points, and I just felt Alex didn't need to take it to the degree he did, I mean really.
I doubt you saw my other comment, but just thought I would comment again as an update and to possibly get you to see it.
