"Lucky charms, ladies?" Chad asks pulling out our chairs. "Why thank you, sir," Fallon says laughing.

We sit down to the breakfast Chad has prepared. "Thanks Chad, it's delicious," I mumble, mouth full of cereal.

"So today's plans?" I ask. "The band wants to record a new song. You can tag along if you want, kid," Chad says. "What're you doing, Fallon?" I ask. "I just have to stay home and do some housework. Go ahead, and go to the studio," she replies.

I smile, "I guess I'm spending the day with you. Chaddy!" Chad wags his finger, "Don't call me that young lady!" I smile, "Okay, Chadwick!"

He looks shocked, "Where'd you learn that?" I smirk, "Your friend Joseph told me."

He looks upset, "He pinky swore!" I laugh, "I may have bribed him." He shakes me, "What did you bribe him with, child?" I smirk again, "Chick-Fil-A."

He looks shocked, "You're an evil little girl." I smile, "Maybe I am, but you love me anyway." He grins, "Let's just go to the studio."

We get to the studio, and I race inside even though I have no clue where I'm going. I see Caleb standing there so I jump onto his back.

"Woah!" He exclaims, "What's gotten into you Alex?" He asks. Chad replies, "I think that child had too much sugar this morning!" Caleb walks into a room where Alan, and Joey are waiting.

I jump off of Caleb, and spin over to Alan. "Somebody's energetic!" He exclaims, hugging me. "I'm sorry! It's not my fault!" Chad exclaims.

"What up, Joe?" I ask bouncing around the room. He smiles, but doesn't answer. I continue floating around whilst the guys talk.

Soon, I'm out of breath, so I walk over to a couch and sit down.

"Oops sorry Joe!" I exclaim, realizing I sat on his hand. "Yeah, maybe stand up," he says. I stand up, allowing him to free his hand.

Once I'm sure he has moved his hand, I sit back down. "Alex, are you off of sugar rush?" Chad asks. I shake my head, "Just thought I'd try to be sane for a few seconds."

I leap back up, and jump around the room. "Chad, exactly how much sugar did you give the kid?" Caleb whispers. Chad sighs, "I just have her some Lucky Charms, okay! I'm not responsible for that!"

I giggle, almost bumping into Alan. "Well, somebody's responsible," Alan says. Chad shrugs, "She's feeling really good today. She was stressed most of this morning, and last night. I'm so happy to see that kid happy."

I smile, sitting down for good now next to Alan. "Hey beautiful," he says brushing some hair away from my eyes. "Hey Al," I smile, laying my head on his shoulder. "Did you rest well?" He asks. I shake my head, "No. I was stressed out, and couldn't bring myself to fall asleep." He puts his arm around me, "You could always fall asleep now." I yawn, "Y'know that doesn't sound like a bad idea."

Alan lifts me up, and lays me on a couch. Caleb tosses him a pillow and a blanket. He situates them, then leans over. "I love you beautiful, sleep well," he kisses my forehead. I close my eyes, with a smile on my face, "Love you too."

"Alex, I'm so glad you decided to come back. I love you, but since you ran off I have to punish you," Matt says. He takes his hand, and flings it across my face. I don't even flinch, this is my life now I deserve it.

He turns to my other cheek, and repeats the process. "Have you learned your lesson, sweetie?" He asks. I shrug, thinking of Chad. "Oh, so you haven't had enough yet?" He slaps both of my cheeks again. "I love you Alex, I would never hurt you."

He forces me to hug him, "Now come on babe, lets go upstairs." He practically drags me upstairs to his bedroom. He locks the door, and throws his lips onto mine. He kisses me long and hard. "I love you, Alex," he says, continuing to kiss me. "Matt! Stop!" I exclaim.

He jerks his lips off of mine, and slaps my face. "Come on babe," he pleads, "I'm just having a bit of fun!" He throws his lips back on mine, and I squirm in discomfort, hoping it's over soon.

I sit up, tears streaming down my face. "Alan? Chad! Caleb? Joey!" I scream, thinking of my dream.

The four guys rush to my side. "What is it, kiddo?" Caleb asks, wiping away some tears.

"I had a nightmare," I sob. Alan rubs my back, "Do you want to talk about it, beautiful?" I shake my head. "Alex," Chad says, "sometimes talking about if can make you feel better."

I sigh, and begin my story. "I had a dream, that I went back to Matt. He slapped my face a few times, then tried to get me to sleep with him. When I stopped him from kissing me, he slapped me again, he kept talking about how he would never hurt me," I cry out.

Joey sits close to me, "Darling, it's just a dream." I shake my head, "Guys, he's done that to me before. I'm scared." Chad pulls my shaking body into his lap, "Don't worry, honey, he's not laying a finger on you. You've got four body guards right here. We love you and care about you."

Just being near them makes me feel secure. They all sit with me for a while, just comforting me. My phone rings, and I pull it out of my pocket.

"Oh my! It's Matt!" I exclaim. Alan sticks his hand out, and I pass him the phone. He answers with a rough sounding voice. I decide to not listen and let Alan deal with Matt.

"Caleb, what if Matt tries to use me again?" I ask. Caleb hugs me, "Don't worry kiddo, he won't."

"It could happen! That boy lives for hurting me," I exclaim, my body shaking. "Sssh, lets not think about that. I love you, kiddo, I'm protecting you with my life."

I smile, knowing how well loved I am. "I love you too, Cabey!" I exclaim. He smirks, "Don't call me that!"

I smile, "Thanks guys." Joey stares at me, "For what?"

"For loving and protecting me," I reply, "I really appreciate it." Alan hands me my phone, and then they surround me in a group hug.

"I love you guys so much," I whisper. "We love you too, Alex," Caleb says. I begin crying, but this time tears of joy. I've never felt this loved, or secure in my entire life. I'm so grateful.
