Bring me home.

"I should probably go after her." I mumbled, but Alex shook his head.
"No, stay here, let her cool off." I nodded and nuzzled into Alex's neck. "Stay here with me tonight?" He asked. "I'd like to catch up." I smiled up at him and we left the others behind, heading for the back lounge. We sat don on the couch and Alex slid a movie in.
"Robin Hood?" He smiled at me and I clapped. My favorite movie, he remembered. He patted the spot next to him on the couch and flumped down, Alex wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close so my head rested on his shoulder. Alex and I had always been close, we had almost... become a thing before my parents shipped me off. I sighed and snuggled into his chest. We sat in silence, taking in being with each other again after all this time. I felt my eyelids get heavy and I started to drift off.
"I've missed you, Bear. There hasn't been a day when I haven't though about you." He whispered into my hair and I smiled in my sleep. "I never stopped loving you. Not since we kissed that day before you left. I left Lisa last week because every time I kissed her I though of you." Alex brushed my hair off my face and chuckled. "And your asleep and heard nothing of that. Brilliant." I smiled and snuggled closer into him as he lifted me from the couch in his arms. I had heard every word. I wasn't quite asleep yet, his voice had woken me. Alex slid me into a bunk and then climbed in next to me, pulling me close and wrapping his arms around me.
"I love, Caitrina. Always have, always will." He pressed a kiss to the top of my head and I couldn't help but smile. Sleep took over and I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

I woke up cuddled in Alex's arms, and everything he had said to me last night came flooding back. I carefully made my way out of the bunk and stood smiling at his sleeping form. I leaned in and placed a small his on his nose.
"I love you, too, Lex." I smiled and walked into the kitchen to make them all breakfast.
I found out a pack of back and got it sizzling in the pan while I broke eggs into a bowl and chopped mushrooms and grated cheese to make omelettes. I always used to make this breakfast when we were in high-school and the boys always loved it. I blended up a protein smoothie for Zack and the noise woke most of the bus. It was ten am. It wouldn't kill them.
"Oh my god!" Jack yelled as he fell from his bunk. "A Rie breakfast!" Rian and Zack quickly followed.
"Did you..." Zack's eyes fell on his smoothie and he beamed. "I love you!"
"No. Mine." Alex's tired and groggy voice echoed from where he was leaning against the wall. I smiled at him and held up the plate of eggs and bacon I was giving to Jack questioningly. "Yes please." I handed Zack and Rian their plates before whipping up Alex's. "Thank you." He whispered planting a kiss on my cheek as he took his plate. "I heard, too." I felt my cheeks burn red and he ran a hand across it. "Cute." The boys sat down and all devoured the breakfast as I cooked more for each crew member that arrived.
"We're out of eggs." I announced as I flopped down on the couch next to a now full and satisfied Alex. The boys all moaned about there being no seconds and Matt promised a trip to the supermarket later so I could cook more tomorrow. "Hey! I haven't signed a contract yet! I'm not your chef!" I laughed and Alex pulled me onto his lap.
"Yes, yes you are. You're my chef." He mumbled in my ear, making me shiver.
"Aw, that's cute." Jack mocked us, leaning in and whispering in Rian's ear you giggled like a girl.
"Fuck you guys." Alex laughed as he threw a pillow at the pair.
"Violence! Violence!" Jack cowered. "Mommy save us!" I laughed and shook my head, leaning against Alex and sighing. I realized how much I had missed being around these guys.
"Shut up, Jack." Matt commanded the bus to attention. "We have a free day today but bus call is at 6pm. We have to be in London by eight. Last show before the US." I gasped and turned to look at Alex. I had two days left in England? "We'll sign you officially tonight before we leave, Rie. I'll work on the paper work today, for now do what you like. Go on, fuck off." Matt laughed and I followed Alex off the bus.
"Let's go find Kaysey." He suggested as he grabbed my hand. I nodded and we walked off into the suburbs.

"Kaysey open the fucking door!" I yelled at the door of my flat. Silence. My car was here so so was she. I ran around the back and picked up the spare key from the hole in the tree along the side of the house. I walked back round and jammed the key into the lock and turned it furiously. Lock me out of my own fucking flat. I burst through the door and lead Alex up the stairs to the flat. I burst into the living room and glared at Kaysey who sat huddled on the couch. "Why the fuck did you lock me out?" She stared back and me and shrugged.
"Why didn't you tell me you knew All Time Low? And on top of that you're just gonna up and leave me? Go off on tour with them?" I nodded.
"It's the job I got a degree for. I'm taking the opportunity."
"Uh.." I held up a hand to silence Alex.
"I didn't tell you because I didn't want to see them because I was scared they had forgotten me. And I knew that if you found out I knew them you'd push for me to introduce you." Kaysey's rage disappeared as she watched Alex wrap an arm around my waist.
"Was there something else you forgot to tell me too?" She asked Alex.
"Rie and I had a thing before her parents shipped her off. I never forgot her. Never went a day without thinking about her. And I have every intention on taking Rie on tour with me. I lost her once and I will never let her out of my sight again." Kaysey smiled and nodded, rising from her seat.
"Alright then. When do you leave?" I looked back at Alex who nudged me on.
"Two days from now." I waited, cringing, expecting a backlash.
"Two days!" Kaysey gasped, shit, and you leave Birmingham tonight? You need to pack!" Kaysey ran from the room and pulled out the largest suitcase she could find. "Let's get started."
We all grouped in my room, Kaysey and I folding and packing clothing while Alex filled a box he had found with my other belongings.
"Why are you doing that?" I turned and asked Alex who smiled sweetly.
"Rie Bear, where do you think you'll be staying when we're on break from touring in the US? You can't keep flying home. You can move in with me." I stared at Kaysey who shrugged and mumbled that it was a true fact, I couldn't keep living here. We finished packing my clothes and started tearing the room apart.
"We're flying back to Baltimore so we can drop all your stuff off at mine first. You can settle in while we play the show there and then we'll pick you up in the bus on the way out to New York.” I nodded and helped Kaysey squeeze the suitcase closed and zip it while Alex taped the two boxes shut.
“Done.” Kaysey smiled as she dusted her hands and looked around at my now bare room. “I'll put an ad up for a room mate but you can have your bed back whenever you want.” She squeezed me close. “Cause you'll visit. Won't you?” A tear rolled down my cheek as I registered those in Kaysey's eyes.
“Of course I will. And we'll skype and I'll fly you over all the time.” We hugged for what seemed like forever, both laughing and crying, scared of the change that was occurring.
“Time to go, Bear.” I turned to see Alex solemnly holding the two boxes. I grabbed the handle of my suitcase and pulled it to the floor, hugging Kaysey with one arm one last time.
“I've already called work and quit, so there's nothing else to do. I'll transfer my bank to America when I get there. I love you.”
“I love you too!” Kaysey waved from the top of the stairs as Alex led me to where the taxi was waiting. I waved out the window and Alex told the driver where to take us. I wiped away my tears and pulled out my phone, updating my facebook and twitter.

To all those who care, I've finally landed my dream job and leave England for America in two days. Sorry to be leaving so suddenly but I'll be back :)
