Sunday
10am - Leeds

Alex’s POV

“Alex we’re here” Zack issued.

I opened my eyes slightly as I looked out the plane window and saw that we had landed in Leeds. I sighed as I pulled my earphones out and looked at Zack.

“Are you alright buddy?” Zack asked.

“Fine” I muttered.

I was lying through and through. I was maybe a little harsh on Jack. I did feel really weird after the kiss, sort of...empty. But the fact that Jack went behind my back and did that with Billie, I don’t know what to think now. Not only am I angry at Jack, I’m mad at Billie, my inspiration, for fucking egging Jack on to do things with him. I clenched my fist as I looked away to hide the tears that were falling down my cheeks. The plane stopped at the terminal and we all stood up to get off the plane. I saw Jack getting up and I just walked right past him. Luckily Billie, Mike and Tre weren’t on this plane, there one was nearly here though. I just wanted to get to the hotel and relax. I waited at the conveyor belt to get my bags and then I hailed a taxi and text Rian to say I got a taxi on my own. I sighed as I rested my head against the seat. What am I doing? I shouldn’t be avoiding Jack, but I’m so angry. God I just want to get out of this mess. At least after today we will be going home. But, it means I won’t see Jack for two months until our American tour. God why do I keep thinking of him! I groaned as I played with my hair. Do I have feelings for him or don’t I? Make up your mind Alex. This could test the fate of you and your best friends friendship. I can’t lose him, but can I trust him anymore?

*Time lapse one hour*

I dropped my suitcase down in my room and walked into the lounge area. I sighed as I turned on my iPod and walked out to the balcony. There was a table and some chairs so I grabbed a chair and pulled it over to the railing a bit. I sat down and put my feet up and lent back in the chair. I pressed play on my iPod and My Understandings by Of Mice & Men came on. I closed my eyes as I took in ever lyric and let it calm me down. Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder and I opened my eyes, turning around to see Rian. I pulled my headphones out and looked at him.

“You ok man?” he asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine” I replied.

Suddenly there was laughter and I flinched, I recognize that laugh.

“Billie” I growled.

I scraped the chair on the tiles and stood up as I walked to the door.

“Alex!” Rian hissed.

I ignored him as I stepped inside and saw Billie standing beside Jack, Zack sitting on the couch.

“Hi Alex” Billie spoke.

I clenched my fists as I ran at him and knocked him over.

“Alex!” Zack roared.

“You fucking asshole!” I yelled, throwing a punch at Billie.

“Alex stop!” Jack screamed.

I felt someone pull me away as I looked at Billie’s bloody face. My breathing was shallow and heavy.

“What the hell is wrong with you Alex!” Jack snapped.

I looked at Jack and saw tears falling down his cheeks. I’ve never made my best friend cry, or have I and just not noticed. Billie groaned as Jack helped him to his feet and I felt Rian hold my arms tighter. I hung my head as tears threatened to fall from my eyes.

“I’ll be back later” Jake spoke.

“Oh yeah, you just going to go and screw him again! Huh Jack! Are you?” I yelled.

Jack turned to me and looked me straight in the eye.

“No Alex, by the way, you’re on your own tonight. I’m not going to the gig” Jack replied.

“What! You can’t!” I roared.

“I don’t care Alex, you’re screwing up everything and you seem to just be walking all over our friendship. I’m sorry” Jack whispered as he headed to the door with Billie in tow.

The door closed and Rian let go of my arms. I dropped to my knees and let the tears fall as I sobbed.

“Alex...” Zack spoke.

“Just leave him” Rian issued.

I lent against the couch and wiped the tears from my eyes. I’ve fucked up everything that’s important to me.
*Time lapse eight hours*

I finished our song Time Bomb as the crowd went wild. They were pretty upset that Jack wasn’t here, as was I. I sighed as I sat on my chair, ready to play Therapy, on my own. I looked out at the crowd as they looked at me.

“Hey guys, I’ve got a question? What do you do when you think you’ve fucked up everything, but you realise you’ve just been clueless to feelings. What do you do?” I questioned.

“Depends what the situation is!” someone yelled.

“Well, I think I have feelings for someone. My best friend to be more exact” I replied.

Some of the crowd screamed happily and some started to cry in joy.

“Tell him you love him!” the crowd roared.

I looked at Zack and Rian and they smiled and nodded.

“You really think so guys?” I questioned.

“Yes!” they yelled.

“I’ll tell him, soon enough, if he forgives me” I sighed.

I saw some girls biting their lips as if they were hiding something.

“I forgive you” a voice boomed.

I snapped my head to my right and gasped as I saw Jack standing there with a microphone.

“What?” I asked.

“I said, I forgive you” Jack answered.

I smiled as I looked down and blushed, the crowd letting out aw’s.

“Is there something you wanted to tell me?” he continued, stepping forward a little.

I bit my lip as I looked at Rian and Zack again. They were nodding and smiling.

“Tell him! Tell him! Tell him! Tell him!” the crowd chanted.

I looked over at Jack as he made eye contact with me and I took my guitar off and got off my seat.

“Jack Barakat...I love you” I spoke.
The crowd screamed as Jack blushed furiously and motioned me forward. What’s he planning?

Jack’s POV

“Are you sure you’re alright?” I asked Billie.

“I’m fine man, really” he mused.

I sat down on the couch as Billie lay his head back and sighed.

“I’m sorry” I whispered.

“For what?” Billie asked.

“For the way Alex is acting” I mumbled.

Billie opened his eyes and sat up as he rested his hand on mine.

“How did he react when he found out about us?” Billie asked.

“He freaked” I answered.

Billie smirked as he stood up and went to grab a drink from the bar fridge.

“He obviously has feelings for you Jack” Billie mused, pacing around the room.

“Bullshit, he ran away when I kissed him” I protested.

“He was probably surprised. But you saw what he did to me. Only someone so jealous would do such a thing” Billie replied.

I looked down at the floor and tried to wrap my head around what Billie said. Billie lifted my chin up and kissed my forehead softly.

“We would never work Jack, it’s quite clear you love Alex too. Maybe you should consider it” he whispered.

“You really think so?” I questioned.

“Jack please, I’m Billie Joe Fucking Armstrong, of course I’m sure” Billie chuckled.

I laughed as Billie went to the fridge and walked back to me, handing me a beer.

“So what do I do?” I asked.

“Well...” Billie issued.

*Time lapse eight hours*

I stood side stage watching Rian, Zack and Alex perform. I was going to put my plan into action once they had finished playing Time Bomb. Alex looked stunning tonight, but he had an empty expression on his face, was that because of me? I sighed as I watched him dance around on stage and sing his heart out. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Billie. He smiled as he handed me a microphone and I smirked.

“Thanks” I whispered.

“You’re welcome, your cue is nearly up” he replied.

They finished Time Bomb as Alex walked over to his seat and sat down. I knew then he was going to play Therapy.

“Hey guys, I’ve got a question? What do you do when you think you’ve fucked up everything, but you realise you’ve just been clueless to feelings. What do you do?” Alex questioned.

I looked at Billie as he shrugged.

“Improvise” he mused.

“Depends what the situation is!” a fan yelled.

“Well, I think I have feelings for someone, my best friend to be exact” Alex replied.

My heart skipped a beat as the crowd screamed and some started crying.

“Tell him you love him!” the crowd roared.

Alex turned to Rian and Zack as they nodded.

“You really think so guys?” Alex questioned.

“Yes!” they yelled.

I felt Billie push me forward as I walked onto the stage. Some fans saw me but I motioned for them to be quiet.

“I’ll tell him, soon enough, if he forgives me” Alex sighed.

I smiled as I put the microphone to my mouth.

“I forgive you” I said.

Alex’s head snapped to his right as he saw me and gasped.

“What?” he asked.

“I said, I forgive you” I answered.

Alex smiled as he looked down and blushed, the crowd letting out aw’s.

“Is there something you wanted to tell me?” I continued, stepping forward.

I’m so nervous right now. Alex bit his lip as he looked back at Rian and Zack, they nodded and smiled.

“Tell him! Tell him! Tell him! Tell him!” the crowd chanted.

Alex looked over at me, his eyes catching mine. They had that spark in them again. He took his guitar off and stood up from his seat.

“Jack Barakat...I love you” Alex spoke.

The crowd screamed as I blushed, my heart doing back flips. Those are the words I’ve been looking for, Billie was right. I was blushing furiously as I motioned Alex forward. He walked over to me and I grabbed his hand.

“Alex Gaskarth, I love you too” I whispered.

The crowd went wild again as I dropped the microphone and ran my hands over Alex’s cheeks. He looked at me as I smirked.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” the crowd, Rian, Zack and Billie chanted.

I smirked as I lent forward and pressed my lips to Alex’s, this time he kissed back, setting the crowd off in a frenzy. I’m finally happy.

*Time lapse two hours*

Alex and I stayed to watch Green Day’s set again, as well as talk things through with each other.

“We have one more day here in Leeds then we go home for two months before tour” Alex explained.

“We better spend as much time together as possible tomorrow then” I mused.

Alex hugged me tight as he nestled into the crook of my neck.

“I’m going to miss you” he whispered.

“It’s only two months Alex, you’ll be ok” I whispered back.

Alex nodded as he pulled away and I kissed him softly on the lips.

“Hey, hey get a room lover boys” Billie chuckled.

I laughed as Alex looked at Billie and bit his lip.

“I’m sorry for hitting you” he mused.

Billie shook his head and gave Alex a hug.

“No hard feelings man” Billie replied.

Alex was starstruck again at the hug he just got.

“Looks like he’s starstruck by his idol again” I snorted.

Billie smiled as he rested his hand on my shoulder and looked at me.

“Take care of him, don’t let him go” he issued.

I nodded as Billie nodded and we said our goodbyes as Mike, Tre and Billie walked away.

Alex turned to me and I held my hand out to him.

“Fancy a walk in the park love?” I questioned in my failed British accent.

Alex chuckled as he took my hand.

“I’d love that” he answered.

I smiled as we walked away from the stage and took the pathway that lead to the park. I’m so glad everything worked out, never in my life have I felt such joy.
