Just Two Kids Stupid And Fearless
I got to the point where I should leave you alone, but we both know I'm not that strong
I cuddled up in Alex lap and he wrapped his arms around me. I put my arms around his neck, and leaned my head on his chest. I cried, a lot.
"Hey sweetie, don't cry. Please don't cry. I'm coming back sooner than you'll ever guess. And when I come back, nothing will be changed, I promise. Please don't cry babe.", Alex said and hid my face in his shirt, and cried even more. "I love you.", I had a mental breakdown, because Alex was leaving tomorrow, and I couldn't stop crying.
"D-d-don't go.", I sobbed while tugging his shirt. "Or, d-d-don't make them disappointed, I mean.", even though I was broken, I still couldn't beg him to stay and let his fans down.
"Nothing's gonna happen, you'll be fine. You can come whenever you want, and I can come to you on my free days. I'll call you and text you everyday, and you have your friends.", he talked to me like a baby, but I guess that was what I needed.
We spent the last 3 weeks by each others sides, and didn't let the other out of sight. We had stayed home and had lazy nights with take away food and movies, we've been parting, Alex also followed me when I was shopping, and just been in love. We hadn't fought one single time, no one wanted to waste time on that.
"But please don't stay here all the time, go home. I don't want you to be alone.", he said.
"Sure.", I lied, I knew it was here I would spend my next 8 weeks.
"I love you, so, so much. Don't forget that, okey?", Alex said when he hugged me for the last time in 8 weeks.
"I love you too.", I answered, and tried to be strong. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. He let go of me, and kissed me softly, and long. When his lips pulled back, I wrapped my arms around him one last time. He hugged me back and patted me on my head.
"I'll call you later, have a great day. Don't think of me too much.", he said and let go.
"How can I not?", I swallowed and breathed in again.
"I'll see you soon, okey?", he said, and I saw how the tears were coming up in his eyes, even though he tried to be strong. "Baby you'll be late. Go.", Well, I'd rather be late than not be done with my goodbye. He kissed my forehead, and went to the car. I took a deep breath and tried to hold in the tears.
"Are you ready to go?", Taylor stood a couple of feet behind me. "Our first class starts in 2 minutes."
"Yeah, just give me a moment.", my voice was shaking. Taylor came closer, and hugged me.
"This is not a breakup honey. It's just a tour, he'll come back. You'll still talk to him everyday, and you can come to him.", she tried to cheer me up.
"We've never been apart more than 4 days, and I thought that was long enough.", I said and took a heavy breath.
The rest of that day was just gray. I didn't pay attention to any of my classes, and I could just think about Alex. My friends tried to cheer me up, by talking about everything that hadn't anything with Alex, or All Time Low. But they didn't really success. I was quiet, I had no idea what to say. The other kids looked at me all day, it wasn't any secret that I was dating a singer from a band, but I think not even half of them knew who they were. And I'm sure the rumor about that he left for tour wasn't a small one.
I didn't go home after school, I went to the apartment and took up my diary and read old pieces I had written long before I met Alex. It was really sad, because I mostly wrote about how much I wanted to die, and how much I missed Alice.
I laid in the bed, on Alex side, and felt his smell from the pillow. The sweet, candy smell every girl loved. It felt weird that he wouldn't come home tonight, and I would be sleeping alone. I went to the living room, and took up the guitar I got from Zack, and played the few chords I knew.
After just a half minute my phone started calling and I threw away the guitar, just to see who it was. Alex. I smiled and answered it.
"Hi babe.", I said.
"Hey, how are you?", he sounded exhausted.
"Been better, you?", I replied.
"Same. What have you been up to?"
"School sucked, and I just played some guitar. Are you in New York now?"
"Yeah, and it was the worse flight ever. I miss you so much.", he said and I tried to smile.
"I miss you too, more than you could ever imagine. I can't believe you're not coming home tonight.", I said.
"Don't give me bad conscious babe, I already have enough."
"Don't, please.", I said and our conversation went on for almost an hour.
"Hey sweetie, don't cry. Please don't cry. I'm coming back sooner than you'll ever guess. And when I come back, nothing will be changed, I promise. Please don't cry babe.", Alex said and hid my face in his shirt, and cried even more. "I love you.", I had a mental breakdown, because Alex was leaving tomorrow, and I couldn't stop crying.

Notes
I know this was really short, but I swear it'll get better...I can tell that the next chapters will be a lot of diary notes by Wendy about her school...
So, I just read what you have of this story and its prequel, and I really like what you have of both. At first, it was a little rough getting into it; it seemed kind of rushed at first, especially with all of the drama of how they got together and then broke up in like a day when they first met, but I have to say, after the time passed and they got back together again, this story just really started getting good. Some of the grammar is a bit off, but as you continued the story I noticed your improvement and that's awesome; that means you have definitely progressed as you have continued writing this.
I'm sad it was never finished, though. One thing I found a bit odd was that you continued with this installment after giving the first one an epilogue, due to the fact that means we already know the ending for Wendy and Alex, but... I kind of like how you did that. I don't believe I've seen an author do that before, kind of go back and fill in the time in-between in the sequel.
And this story is seriously so cute. Alex and Wendy's love is seriously so genuine; again, while it was a bit rushed at first, as I got into the second half of the first installment and this sequel it was just, wow, I just love their relationship. It's been a while since I've seen such a connection between the two characters and I seriously enjoyed it.
And I also liked the fact that as I got to the end of what you have so far, that you made it realistic. Alex understands she's not ready for a baby and is ready to sacrifice that. This is actually the first time I've seen this in a story, where it's being both considered and followed through with, along with the fact that both characters are for the most part peaceful with the decision. Hell I'm even peaceful with the decision, which really surprises me, because every other story where this has happened, I haven't been. And that's really weird for me, so kudos for pulling that off and making it convincing, and not making it so heartbreaking. I mean it is still a heartbreaking thing, but it's more understood that it's the best decision. Although the two characters being fine with it probably is what makes me as a reader somewhat okay with it. I'm happy you took that route as opposed to creating severe conflict, which is what I typically see with this idea. It was a nice change.
And, wow, this is a long comment. To sum up, I think you're a great writer and I really hope you're still writing on your own time, at least. I'm sad this wasn't finished, but I wanted to leave a comment letting you know my thoughts and just how much I've genuinely liked what I've read so far. Seriously, great job. If you ever choose to continue someday, I will be here to read. This story is too good to let go. I think these two characters should have more of a conclusion in this installment. But I guess overall I should be happy, considering with the last installment, we know that they end up together. So at least that's been told.
But still, if you continue, I'm willing to read. :)
