Loving Two
The Secret Is Out
We had all been called in for a big meeting with the head office. This meant strictly, serious business. It was mid Warped Tour for both All Time Low and You Me At Six. I was lucky; being Max’s little sister and best friends with ATL, however being lucky definitely came at a cost; a big cost.
“Alex I’m scared.” I whispered to my left.
We were all seated along a large table. It was sheltered by a tent above us which made it less tense; it could’ve been a black office with glass.
I surprisingly being Max’s sister and all, I was seated on ATL’s side with YMAS facing me. I had Alex Gaskarth to my left and Rian Dawson to my right.
Alex placed a hand on my leg gently stroking it, “I know you are, but it’s going to be okay. I promise.” Alex whispered back.
Then they walked in; Matt Flyzik and Paul Smith. Matt was ATL’s tour manager he was in charge of everything they did, where they were, where they weren't when they were playing; everything. He has such pressure and responsibility; everything went down on his head.
YMAS’s manager, Paul Smith, was not a fun loving as Matt. He had too much of a serious approach, but he was still a really nice guy. He’d been in the business for a while so he knew exactly what he was doing. The best part about him was he never, ever tried to change the boy’s. He let them do what they wanted.
“Matt what is going on dude?” Rian spoke for everyone.
Matt frowned, “This is out of my hands now.” Every head shot up. Matt Flyzik officially could not control the matter. It had to be taken to someone else, someone higher.
Matt and Paul stood to the side of the table, and then their bosses walked through.
“Right I shall not sugar coat this for any of you. It has been brought to my attention that someone has been having sexual relations with one another. Would anyone like to make this process easier by owning up?” Silence crept over the table.
The boss continued to circle the table. He stopped opposite me. I gripped Alex’s hand. It was as if he was my own protection.
“Nobody? Well let’s have a little science lesson. A child has been conceived. Now there are how many ladies here? Two. Elissa Franceschi and Hayley Helyer.”
My heart was pounding. I felt Alex’s grip firmer.
“Elissa Franceschi? Hayley Helyer? Which one is it?” All eyes were switching between me and Elissa. I sank lower in my chair, keeping my head down. I just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry; with Alex beside me. I wanted to feel his warm embrace around me like a blanket. Alex would kiss me and tell me that everything is going to be okay.
“Well, Miss Hayley Helyer, who is the father?” I didn’t even realise that he scooped me out just from my body language.
“Hayley?! What the fuck?! You’re pregnant!” Max was outraged. Matt who was sat beside him had to calm him down.
“I will not ask again.” I parted my lips but no words would come. I was frightened, but I felt Alex squeeze my hand.
“Alex.” I mumbled.
“SPEAK UP!”
“Alex Gaskarth!” I yelled at him.
Max jumped from his seat almost completely jumping over the table to get to Alex. We rose from our seats backing away a little, whilst YMAS held Max back.
“I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU GASKARTH!!” Max screamed behind Dan. The remaining members of ATL unintentionally formed a line in front of me and Alex; however there was more to this story.
“Right well now I must discuss-“
I cut the boss off, “Or…” There was that uncomfortable silence again. Max was fuming even more but he didn’t say a word.
I looked at Elissa. I need a girl’s help right now.
“Hayley are you telling me there are two potential fathers? One being Alex Gaskarth.” I nodded my head in approval. The boss slammed his fists on the table. “WHO?” I jumped into Alex’s arms even more my tears falling.
“Josh Franceschi.”
All hell then broke loose.
Max instead of going for Alex turned all of his anger towards Josh. He jumped back from the furiously angry band mate, but before Max had a chance to lay into Josh Elissa placed herself between them both.
“YOU FUCKED MY SISTER! MY LITTLE SISTER JOSH!” Dan, Matt and Chris put more force into holding Max back, but they were struggling.
“GET SECURITY NOW!!” The boss shouted out the tent.
The tent soon became a tight area. We all piled out of the tent to face the rest of Warped Tours bands. I was still in the arms of Alex, he pulled me along to get space from the scrap.
"Shh it's okay baby." Alex held me even tighter.
“Hayley what is going on?!” Taylor from We Are The In Crowd called. I ran straight to her tears falling from my eyes. I just cried and cried. She just hugged me, hushing me.
Max was being held back by three security guards including Dan, Matt and Chris, whilst Elissa was pulling Josh away.
“I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU JOSH!”
“Hayley what is happening with YMAS?!” Hayley from Paramore came over, but before I could answer.
“YOU FUCKED MY LITTLE SISTER AND GOT HER PREGNANT!!”
“You slept with Josh Franceschi!” Taylor looked at me wide eyed.
“Wait…” Max stopped struggling, but not for long. “OR IT WAS YOU GASKARTH!!”
“And you slept with Alex Gaskarth!” Hayley said pointing to Alex.
I ran from Alex to Josh. I ran straight into his embrace.
“I’m so sorry Josh!” I cried into him.
“Don’t be sorry love.” He kissed my head, whispering gentle words to me; including that he loved me.
“Alex I’m scared.” I whispered to my left.
