Two

I was loungeing in my room of the apartment I shared with my roommate, Alexandra (Ironiclly my ex-boyfriend is Alexander. Shut up it's not that funny). When I moved in with her, she told me to call her Lexi (I called Alex Lexy when I was bored. Stop with the laughing). She and I actually clicked rather well since she's a grad student in the theater department and she liked the same music I did. Which meant she was a huge geeking fan of All Time Low. When I told I was going out today to the Garden Bowl, she started to ask questions.
"Who are you going with? When are you going? Can I come," she grilled me.
"I'm meeting with friends when they tell me their heading out and it's just us. Sorry Lexi," I told as I made sure I had everything. That's went my phone went off with text from Alex.
We just finished soundcheck, we're leaving in five.
"Alright I'm heading out Lexi. Don't burn the apartment down while I'm gone," I locked my bedroom door and went out to my car to drive across campus to the Garden Bowl.

I pulled up into the parking lot next to a white van. I grabbed my purse and headed up to the bowling alley. I walked into the front doors and the guys all had their backs turned to me. I decided to squeeze between Jack and Zack to get everyone's attention.
"Sorry I'm late. Lots of traffic," I said.
"Juli," Jack cheered and started to bearhug me. Zack and Rian joined in, the three of them crushing me.
"Hey," Alex greeted me awkwardly.
"Hi," I replied, equally awkward.
We got our shoes, lanes, and balls and started to play. I was up first. I grabbed my hot pink 6 pounder and I lined myself up on the lane to try for a strike. I brought the ball to my chest, I set next to my hip and I threw the ball with a follow through. I watched the ball roll down the lane with some good speed and spin, it hit the pins, granting me my strike. Alex and Jack shot up from their seats cheering, Rian clapped and Zack had the "Oh shit she's good I have to try," face.

At the end of the third, I had beaten all of them but Alex. We had one more frame and I was down by a pin. I had to be flawless this frame. I positioned myself like I did my first shot of the day. I threw the ball the same way, and I got a strike. I waited for my ball to come back and I did it again, earning another strike. I could tell Alex was nervous, he was at the ari vent by the ball return, trying to dry the sweat from his palms. I smirked as I threw the ball for the third straight time, nailing a turkey in the process. If Alex couldn't get at least two strikes, he was done. I watched as he went, he hit a spare and six pins for his last frame, leaving me as the winner. I knew he most likely threw the game since he wanted me happy. Which I didn't mind his sacrifice.
"Good game Jules," Alex said as he and I high fived.
"Same to you Alex. Thanks for inviting me to come out. I got to get going back to my apartment. I'm having a girls night with my roommate and then I'm skyping Micah. I'll call you tomorrow," I kissed him on the cheek before I grabbed my purse from the table, leaving for my apartment to try not crying over not trying to get him to take me away on tour agian.
Maybe he moved on past me and is with someone else. Or is he still hung up on me and thinks I moved on?

Notes

Poor Alex and Jules. I hate keeping them a part. I will get them together by the end I promise. This entire story is to get them together. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
