I sat in the living room watching as the boys fought over the video game controller. Alex and Zack were currently trying to pry the controller out of Jack's hands as Rian sat back and laughed at them. Smiling to myself I loved the idea of going on tour with them, they were so great to be around. My mind drifted to tour and I started to wonder what it would be like. Maybe I would make new friends and finally feel like part of a family, maybe I will start to have purpose in my life. I couldnt wait for all the moments I would have with All Time Low and how I would get to see them perform almost everynight. I had to admit I really did love their music.

"Hey what are you thinking about?" Rian plopped down next to me on the couch making me jump up a little bit. He stared at the boys arguing some more before his eyes drifted towards me waiting for an answer. I bit my lip nervously, hopping he wouldnt think I was overthinking this whole tour thing.

"Just about what tour would be like." I laid my head on my hands and turned my body just enough so that I saw Rian smiling.

"You know you have to pack first right?" Rian said letting out a chuckle, he leaned pack into the couch letting it relax him.

"please dont remind me, when do we leave anyway?" I had totally forgotten that we would probably have to leave soon because they were currently in the middle of the tour. I silently cursed myself out for being so stupid.

"Alex said that we would have to leave tomorrow at the latest." Rian filled me in with more information. Information on all the crew and even what tour life is about. It sounded like a dream to me.

"Jack is such a bathroom hog it's unnatural and Alex is usually drunk on days we don't have a show and Zack is just the father for us trying to keep us all sane. He runs around yelling, usually at Jack and Alex, to stop being immature and to grow some balls and act our age." Rian sighed and let a smile play at his lips.

"Hey! I can hear you little shits talking about my hot ass!" Alex shouted at us not taking his eyes off the video game.

"Yeah what Alex said!" Jack shouted and if almost on instinct they fist bumped each other without pausing the game.

"Like I said immature." Rian muttered under his breath getting up from the couch and heading towards the kitchen.

"Thats is Dawson!" Alex dropped the controller and jumped on Rian's back and pulling at his hair. Rian spun him around and now they had tackled each other on the couch.

"Hey watch my stuff, Gaskarth!" I scolded him as he kicked the pillows off the couch still trying to beat up Rian. Getting no response I decided I should get ahead start on packing.

"I should probably start packing if we're leaving tomorrow." I mumbled only Zack seemed to hear me due to his nod in response. Walking into my room I closed the door behind me and opened the light in my closet. I pulled out my red suitcase and started to pull out shorts and shirts that I usually slept in, after that I pulled out regular day clothes such as my pink, gray, and black hoodies and my skinny jeans. After carefully folding those I went through my night wear. I took out my tight black dress and my silver studded high heels, also I pulled out a green skirt and lose white shirt with leather as sleeves for a second outfit to go out in. Deciding I would need more clothes and shoes I went through my draws and pulled out random articles of clothing and shoes trying to get all of them in the suitcase.

Soon I looked down at my decently filled suitcase and felt a sense of satisfaction. One thing I could get off my mind. I wanted to make sure I had everything so I double checked I had packed enough of everything to last me for the one month I would be with them.

Before I could zip up my suitcase my phone rang, it was an unknown caller but I felt like I should answer it anyway.

"Hello" I said in a cheerful voice. The only response I got was heavy breathing on the other line, my heart started to race. The breathing went on a minute longer before I decided that it would be a good idea to hang up the phone.

"Im going to hang up now" I said hastily

A Laugh was heard from the other and I was left with one phrase, "next time I wont go so easy" then the line went dead. Tears started to fall from my eyes and I curled up into a ball and sobbed in the middle of my closet. This was not happening, not after something good in my life happened.

*Alexs POV*

Looking around I noticed Ashley was gone.

"Does anyone know where Ashley went?" I called out bringing all the attention to me.

"She said she was going to start packing for tour dude." Zack said pointing in the direction she went in. Walking down the hall I was trying to figure out what room was hers until I heard a soft cry coming from the door on my right. I opened the door slowly and saw the closet light on, walking closer I saw Ashley lying there tears stroked her face. Sitting next to her I picked her up and placed her on my lap, she wrapped her arms around me and I kissed her on the head rocking back and forth.

"Whats wrong?" I whispered, she pointed to the cell phone lying on the floor and looked at me with fear in her eyes. "whats wrong with the phone?" I asked her trying to get more details.

"He-he called me and-" her voice dropped off in muffled sobs

"Who called you?" I said in a stern voice lifting her chin so that her water filled eyes were looking at me. "Who called you?" I repeated in a softer voice cradling her. I heard suck in a deep breath to respond.

"Come on tell me who called you." I insisted, and she started to speak.
