Alex was beyond pissed off with Kenzie. She was the opening act on the tour, meaning she had the least amount of power. Yet she tries to demand for him to apologize to her. She was obviously not watching where she was walking two days ago when he rammed into her, spilling coffee onto both of them. He figure she earned her burns and refused to talk to her again after the last time he talked to her.

"Alex play nice with the rookie," Alex's best friend, Jack, said as he watched him bounce his leg in frustration, "It was an accident with the coffee. Move on."

"Agreed," their tour manager, Matt, added, "She's going to be on tour with us for the next three months and when we head out to the UK two weeks after this tour is done. It would help her with her career to be friends at least with you."

"I am not going to become friends with that cunt," Alex protested, "The tall skinny bitch can kiss my ass."

"The tall skinny bitch is also my fucking cousin you dick," Matt yelled at him.

"Seriously," Alex questioned him, still angry, "And you're telling us this now?"

"Yes I am," he replied, "She's also been bullied for her height and clumsiness. If I find out you start to bully her or anything, Mason and I will kick your ass."

"Whatever," Alex groaned and stormed off to his bunk.

"So how bad is it with him," Alex overheard, who he thought was Mason, ask.

"He's still pretty pissed off with Kenzie," Alex heard Matt reply.

"Did you tell him we're related to you" Mason asked.

"Yeah," Matt replied, "He only got more mad."

"I think until we diffuse Kenzie and Alex, they should stay separated," Mason offered, "I don't think Kenzie wants to get kicked off tour because of a disagreement with an equally stubborn person."

"Agreed," Matt replied, "I know you're listening Alex."

"Just keep her the fuck away from me until I'm not pissed off and everything should be fine," Alex told the two managers.

"This is going to be a long tour," Matt groaned.

"Agreed," Mason agreed with his cousin.

"I'm sorry," Kenzie groaned, "Happy now?"

"No," Alex replied, "You're supposed to still yell and argue with me."

"I don't have the energy in me to hold a grudge," she replied, "I did it when I was in school, dealing with bullying. I don't need it when I'm on tour."

"Whatever," Alex grumbled, "You're still a freak."

Kenzie heard the one thing that pisses her off and she slapped Alex hard across his face. Alex was taken aback by the sudden force of her hand hitting his cheek. Alex retaliated by grabbing Kenzie by her shoulders and slamming her against the nearest wall, knocking the wind out of her.

"Don't slap me again," Alex snarled through gritted teeth as the tall brunette.

"Let me go," Kenzie growled at him, "And no one calls me a freak. No one bullies me. I am done playing the victim. You just earned yourself an enemy, Gaskarth. And to think I looked up to you. No, you're just like the others."

"Smooth Alex," Matt scolded the lead singer as he paced in the front lounge, "Now my own fucking cousin won't talk to me directly. You really out did yourself Alex."

"She hit me," Alex argued, "I did nothing wrong."

"Seriously, Alex," Rian protested, "I watched as you called her a freak. She slapped you because she was standing up for herself. Then you slam the girl into a wall. Not cool man."

"No one fucking slaps me," Alex yelled.

"Alex you are done," Matt yelled at him, "Until you and Kenzie cool the fuck down, you two are not allowed in the same room unless both Mason and I are there. Do I make myself clear?"

"I don't want to be near her anyway," Alex sneered, "I'm going out for a drink. I'll be back late."
