Mixtape of Their Favorite Band

Dallas’s Perspective


Zack, Adelaide, and Jack had spent the night at my apartment, Zack sleeping with me in the bed, and Adelaide and Jack on the bean bag chairs. It was the night before tour and we figured that some of us could stay at mine so bus call would be easier.


I woke up to Zack kissing me gingerly, and I smiled sleepily.


“Tour, motherfuckers!!!!” Jack screamed, bouncing up and down on my bed.


“Ugh, get off, Jack.” Zack moaned.


“Adelaide, control your boyfriend!” I shouted, and Zack winced since my mouth was close to his ear.


"Sorry, baby." I frowned.


"S'alright." He mumbled, still half asleep himself.


"Come on, guys." Flyzik said, coming into my room.


"How did he get here?” I asked.


“I drove.” Matt shrugged.


I rolled my eyes.


“I meant, how did you get in my apartment?” I asked.


“Oh. I let him in!” Jack smiled.


I groaned.


“Fine, I’m up.”


We hauled all of our suitcases and things onto the bus. We set off as I sat on the couch in the front lounge with Zack.


“You nervous?” he asked.


“Yeah, a little, but I’ve been dreaming about this since I was twelve!” I laughed. He poked my nose.


“Hey sluts!” Alex said, emerging from the bunk room and sitting down on my other side, putting his arm around my other shoulder.


“S’up, Gaskank!” I mocked.


“You need to stop calling me that. You might forget my real name.” Alex nodded seriously.


“Oh, Mr. Gaskarth! I could never!” I gasped, falling dramatically in his lap.


Jack and Adelaide emerged from the back of the bus, looking rumpled and sheepish.


“Oooh!!! I know the walk of shame when I see it!!” I whooped.


“Way to go, JB! The Beibs ain’t got nothing on you!” Alex joined in, high-fiving Jack. Adelaide flushed.


“Come on, Delly. It’s time for girl talk.”I said, putting an arm around her shoulders.


“Oh my God, how was it?” I asked once we were locked in the back lounge.


“We didn’t...I mean we didn’t have...” she said slowly.


“What? You mean Jack--how?” I asked.


“I mean, I gave him a BJ, but when he tried to take my clothes off...I don’t know, I just chickened out.” she explained.


“Oh girl, it’s okay. It’ll happen. And if it doesn’t, then that’s okay as well.” I assured her.


“Have you and Zack yet?” she asked.


“Oh yes.” I nodded, smiling.


“Damn, Dallas!” she laughed.


“Hey!” I shrugged shoving her.


Someone banged on the door to the lounge.

“Are you guys having sex? Can we watch?” Jack yelled.


“We’re coming!” Adelaide shouted back.


“Woah, TMI!” Jack screamed and I heard him run away.


As we left the back lounge, Alex came up to me, hands in his pockets. Adelaide skipped off to Jack.


“Hey, um we’ll be reaching our first stop soon and we were planning on a night out--” I interrupted him.


“We’re underage, remember?” I told him.


“Right, but I got fake ID’s.” he smiled, holding out two cards.


“Look, Alex. I like to have fun as much as the next girl, but I am not getting arrested. I’m not being Zack’s little prison girlfriend. And I won’t let Adelaide go down either.” I told him.


He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder, kissing my neck and running his tongue up and down it, tracing my collarbone. I sucked in my breath.


“Please.” he whispered breathily.


“Alex...” I said sternly, trying to keep my cool.


“What?” he asked innocently, nuzzling his stubbly chin into my shoulder. It felt so nice.


“Get off me.” I finished.


“Have it your way.” he mumbled, kissing my cheek one more time.


He stalked off and I tried to catch my breath. Damn it.
