Weightless

Alex's P.O.V.

Since I'd taken the afternoon off I'd had time to finally get some writing done, working on new songs is actually a lot harder than it seems.

I started writing my feelings down, pin pointing more precisely my emotions. Most of them I had to admit were depressing ones; sadness, loneliness, even jealousy. Why? Because I was here by myself while Jack was out, with, might I add, his new bff. I felt replaced, and not with any random person. My best friend replaced me with the girl of my dreams. I think in common English we would describe me with the word 'loser'

I was thinking over the events of the past few days; seeing her for the first time at Starbucks, the kiss we shared that night, our huge misunderstanding. I wanted nothing more than to go back in time and fix each mistake before it happened. But I couldn't do that and-

"ALEX GET YOUR BUT OUT OF BED BECAUSE I HAVE NEWS!"

Jack loved making a remarkable entrance, I rolled my eyes even though I knew he couldn't see me and waddled out of bed and I to the kitchen, well, a small, hotel version of a kitchen anyways.

"Woah, what happened to you? You look awful!"

"Thanks Jack, I totally hadn't realized that I felt and looked like shit, I feel sooo much better now that you've pointed it out."

"Chill with the sarcasm, I'm just not used to seeing you still not dressed at... Four in the afternoon... Oh shit, you better hurry!" He started unpacking a huge pile of clothes on the counter in a rush.

"Hurry for what? And dear lord why did you buy so many flannel shirts?"

"Oh, I got most of those for you, figured you wouldn't have anything to wear to your date tonight..." He grinned, obviously anticipating my shriek that followed shortly.

"OMG Jack you did it!? You actually convinced her to go with me?" I jumped up and down and hugged him hard, making us both fall over, me on top of him.

"Geezus, sorry for interrupting but seriously guys? In the middle of our joined living area? I'd say get a room... But oh wait you already HAVE one!" Zack was stood in the doorway, obviously waiting for an answer as to what was going on. Let's face it, it wasn't the first time we got caught in awkward positions me and Jack, of course the guys knew there wasn't anything to it.

"Jack got me a date!!" Eeeeeeep! I was turning into such a girl ugh.

"Well then stop making out with Jack and go get ready, I mean, you could really use a shower... And like, in actual clothes. Unless you're planning on dazzling the lady with your batman boxers?"

"Haha. Very funny. K. I'm going,I'm going. But first..." I got on my tiptoes and licked Jack's face, "Thank you Jacky. You're the best!" And with that I left to get myself ready.

As I had gotten ready, Jack had filled me in on Kelsey's 'rules' for the date. Basically, I couldn't do anything I would ordinarily do on a date, but that makes sense seeing as she's no ordinary girl.

On my way to her apartment, (I walked since it was so close), I stopped at this beautiful little flower shop and asked for a single light pink rose, since she doesn't, apparently, like the stereotypical stuff. It was perfect. I hid it behind my back after knocking on her door. I really hope she likes what I've got planned out for her. I don't know what I'd do if-

I couldn't finish that thought before I saw the most beautiful girl standing in front of me

"Alex! Hey uh I wasn't sure what you'd have in mind for tonight, am I underdressed?" She was wearing a pair of tight skinny jeans that hugged tightly in all the right places along with a cute shirt and a leather jacket. If anything I was the one who seemed underdressed with my American Flag jeans and a red flannel shirt.

"Hey" it all could get out. I was certainly mesmerized.

While I stood there obviously checking her out, she took the time to lock the door before turning back towards me, only this time I was hiding my smirk with a flower.

"Aren't those usually supposed to be red?" I asked, raising an eyebrow and blushing bright pink.

"No I wanted something to match your face." Yup. I've been called a cheeky bastard before.

She covered her cheeks in her hands, peeking at me from between her fingers, "shut up."

"Nah, I think it's cute... Anyways. Walk with me?"

"Alright Gaskarth, show me the way. Oh and don't forget, I'm totally talking about this date to Jack tomorrow, it's his job to help me decide whether you pass the test or not!"

"Oh come on, since when is this a test?" This was kind of hopeless, I mean, there's nothing I could do to impress her.

"It's a test starting as of now, good luck!"

Well, here goes nothing.

I held her hand and we were on our way..
