The days went by and William and Julian left to start the Australian part of the tour. I started school again, I had several people want to take pictures with me and ask me about William. I wasn't expecting things to be so different when I got back to school.

There were people trying to hang out with me thinking they would get to meet him. It was kind of annoying, these people who didn't even know who I was before I got with William were now trying to be my friend. 

Most of them didn't even know my name, they just called me William Singe's girlfriend. It was different now, people saying things about me because I didn't want to hang out with them. People saying that I was just using him to become known. 

I didn't want any of that, I don't care how many people know me or don't know me because I never in anyway have used William or his name to get anything I want. I wasn't sure how he dealt with all of this, because I know it is difficult for me to deal with now.

It was hard when I couldn't talk to him about it, he usually didn't have time to have a full conversation on the phone. I was just glad that Alexa and I would be leaving tonight to Australia to go see them. 

Alexa on the other hand liked the attention, she knows how to deal with it better then I do. I grabbed my back pack from the floor as I put my things away. I was leaving the library "Hey you're Alessa right?" I look up at this girl standing next to the table I was sitting in.

"Yes." I say to her as I zip up my back pack and stand up, "You stopped coming to school for a while to go with William on tour in Europe right?" "Um yes, why are you asking me this questions?" "I am with the school news paper and you seem to be the talk of the University right now so I thought I would do an interview on you."

"Were you even going to mention that it was an interview?" "Um I..." "Look I'm sorry, I really have to go I don't have time for this." "I wasn't trying to upset you." "No it's fine I have just had a long week and I have had people asking me several questions about William and all this other stuff. I really have to go I'm sorry." 

I walk out the library and hurry home, I got there and went straight to my room. "Alessa?" I heard Alexa at the door "Yes?" I say "What's wrong?" "I've just had a long day." I say to her as I sit on my bed. "Do you want to talk about it?" "I really need to get my stuff packed for tonight." I say to her.

"Okay but I am here if you want to talk." "I know thank you." I say to her she walks out of the room and I start running around getting things together for the trip. I might be meeting Williams family sooner then I thought and my nerves were everywhere. 

We were sitting in the air port waiting for our flight, Alexa was talking away and I was just in my own world right now. "Alessa are you even listening to me?" She say as she hits my leg "What? No sorry I wasn't listening." 

They finally called our flight and we boarded the plane, as we got closer the more I started to get nervous but I wasn't the only one who was nervous. I looked over at Alexa "You okay?" I say to her and she looks over at me.

"I don't know, I am going to meet his family and I really want them to like me. What if they don't like me?" "How could they not like you?" "It's different this time Alessa." "You love him?" She nods her head "Yes I do love him." I smile and I put my arms around her and hug her.

"Have you told him?" She shakes her head then she smiles "The way I feel makes me wonder if I ever really loved any one before him." I smile at her as they announce that we are fixing to land. 

We gather all of  our stuff and Julian is waiting for us outside the air port "G'day mates welcome to Sydney, Australia." He says as he grabs our things and puts them in the car. "Where is Will?" "He had some last minute errands to run." I nod to him "I'm glad you didn't give up on him." He say to me I hug him.

We get into the car and take off we pull up to a house and it's beautiful. It's right next to the beach and the weather is nice and I get this relaxing feeling. Julian grabs our things and we head inside the house, we walked in and Julian showed us to our rooms. 

"So who's house is this?" "It's Williams." I nod my head to him as I put my things away in the room. A little while later Alexa comes in "Julian wants us to meet him out on the patio in the back." We head back there and we both stop before we walk outside there was a lot of people out there.

"What is going on?" Alexa says I started to get nervous and I started to walk back to the room. Someone came behind me and wrapped their arms around me. "Where do you think you are going?" 

I knew it was William "I was just um." He laughs "I'm sorry that we didn't tell you that our families were going to be here but we wanted it to be a surprise. They really wanted to meet the both of you." Meeting them came a lot sooner then I thought it would.

"What if they don't like me?" "They are going to love you just as much as I do. It's going to be fine Alessa." He grabs my hand and I grab Alexa's, she pulls her hand from me and hurries back to the room.

"I need to go talk to her." I say to him he nods to me as I hurry after her. I knock on the door and then walk in. "Alexa what is going on?" "I can't do this Alessa." "What are you talking about?" "I can't go out there and meet his family." 

"What if they think I'm not good enough for Julian? What if they don't like me?" "Alexa..." Someone walks in I turn to see Julian standing there. "It doesn't matter what they think of you because I want you." Julian says to her I nod to him as I walk out of the room, William is waiting for me.

"Is she okay?" "She has closed off her feelings for anyone for a while, but she loves him and having to meet his family scares her, she doesn't want them to be disappointed that he picked her. I think she feels like she isn't good enough." 

He touches my face and kisses me "You ready?" I nod to him he grabs my hand and we walk outside, to see the smiles that we got were amazing. "Oh my gosh we are so glad to finally meet you Alessa." "Alessa this is my mother." Will says to me I hug her "I'm glad to finally be meeting all of you as well." I say to her.

We walk around saying hi to everyone "Where is Alexa and Julian?" A woman say to us "This is Julian's mom." Will says "They will be out here shortly." I say to her "You were right about this one William she is very beautiful." 

A man says "This is my father." I hug him "I'm so glad to be meeting you all." I say to him "Are you kidding me? We have been waiting for months now to meet you." Alexa and Julian finally come out and everyone was so glad to finally meet her.

It was great getting to talk and meet everyone and we all just enjoyed talking and eating. "I have no idea what I was so worried about everyone is great." Alexa says to me I hug her, "How could they not like you Alexa your are one of the best people I know."

"Let's go for a walk along the beach." I say to her "I know how hard this was for you but I am so proud of you." I say to her she grabs my hand as we continue walking "I couldn't have done this without you here. After Nick I always said that I wouldn't ever fall in love again, now here I am again and it's so much better."

We sat there talking playing with the sand, they guys came over William sits behind me and wraps his arms around me. Julian did the same to Alexa we sat there and watched the sunset. 

After a while we walked back to the house and we helped clean up, "I would love it if you and William would have lunch with us tomorrow." His mother says "I would love that." I say to her, we say our goodbyes to everyone "So?" "You have a really great family and I am so glad that I got to meet them." I say to him he pulls me close to him and kisses me.

I wrap my arms around him and kiss him back, we go back out to the patio he lights a fire in the pit and we lay in the hammock and just enjoy the night. "I'm really glad that you are here I have missed you." He says to me "I have missed you too." 

"How is everything at school?" "It's different." "How so?" "I just have a lot of people trying to be my friend and wanting to hang out but a lot of them don't even know my name. They mostly just know me as your girlfriend." "That's a bad thing?" "No it's just that I don't know how to deal with it all. A lot of them think I'm stuck up or just using you because I don't want to hang out with them."

"I'm sorry." "You don't need to be sorry Will, I just need to learn how to deal with it." "People are always going to have an opinion, but I know and you know and that is all that matters. You will have to figure out the best way to deal with it for you. I'm just sorry that it's because of me."

"You don't need to be sorry Will, I'm in this with you I chose you too. I wanted to be with you so stop saying that you are sorry because it isn't your fault. I knew what I was getting myself into." "Do you? You told Julian that you needed to stop pretending that you belong in this life." I could see it in his face as he said this, it had hurt him.

I put my head down and he put his hand under my chin and lifts my head so I am looking at him. "Alessa I need to know your real feeling about this I don't want you to just be telling me things I want to hear." 

"I'm not just saying these things because that is what I think you want to hear. Yes I did say that because I was hurt and you left me there in that room. I needed to stop pretending that everything was fine and that I belonged there. I just wanted to be with you nothing else mattered to me except that I was with you.

But I can't have just you and I know that so I need to figure out how to belong in this world that you belong too. I can't have just you without having all the other stuff, I have always known that I just figured that if I pretended I didn't then eventually it would just happen. I got home and I had people wanting to take pictures of me and asking me questions about you and I knew.

I'm already part of it I just need to figure out how to conform to it." "I had come back about an hour later to the room that day then I found your note. I knew that I had fucked up bad I wanted to call you and tell you to come back. I was hoping that you would come back, then I said why would she come back?

I told you some fucked up things and I can never take that back. I would see pictures of you that people had posted and you looked so broken, I had done that to you and I couldn't forgive myself for doing that to you.  

I figured you would be better off without me so I didn't call and I didn't go after you. Then they would ask me where you were in interviews or at the meet and greets. Every time it got harder for me to answer because I needed you and I didn't have you. Julian told me I needed to stop being and idiot and go after you because you needed me just as much as I needed you.

The night I got there he had told me that you had went out with some guy. I was hoping that it would be a horrible date for you because there was no way that I was just going to let some guy take what was mine. I was going to go out and look for you but you came back home and I was glad.

The look you gave me as you walked into your room and I was sitting on your bed it broke me. There were so many emotions in that one look relief, anger, love, and defeat. I had no idea what to say but that I was sorry because nothing I said was going to take away what I had done to you.

Yet here you are with me and you love me, how did I end up being so lucky that you still chose to be with me?"

I he holds me closer to him as if I will leave any minute, "I love you." I say to him as I kiss him softly on the lips. "I love you too Alessa." We lay there together not saying anything just laying there and it was perfect.
