Me Without You

“I hate her!” I raised an eyebrow at Zack as we walked back to the bus after All Time Lows set. A loud crash came from inside along with more screams. “Bitch!” Zack whipped the door open and jumped inside, me close on his tail. The bus was trashed. Clothes and food were thrown everywhere, Lisa smack band in the middle of the carnage.
“What the fuck, Lisa?” Zack yelled, picking up half a smashed bottle of Jack. Lisa held a finger out to me and started to scream again.
“You fucking did this! Alex broke up with me! All because you rocked up and he can’t get over you!” I stared at her dumbfounded. How could such a tiny body make so much noise? I was the same size as Lisa so, damn, I must be impressive angry. “We were happy until you came along and ruined it all. No one even wants you here! All you do is sleep around between them and ruin it all! Fucking slut!” This cracked me. No one called me a slut. I stepped through the sea of objects until I was right up in Lisa’s face.
“Listen here you little bitch.” I snarled. “Alex? Jack? Zack and Rian, Vic and Mike, Tony and Jaime? Matt? All those boys, every single one of them, was mine before they were yours. Do you not remember that I was the one hanging around with them at school? I was actually one of their friends during high school, not the clinger who orbited them and never let go apparently.” Lisa gulped and I smirked. My voice dropped to a menacing whisper. “All of them are mine. You replaced me. So don’t you ever think you can run around and make our lives hell because I will hunt you down and I will rip those pretty diamond earring from you head and push them through your eyes if you even so much as insult one of my boys.” Lisa gripped onto her earlobes and I backed away from her. “Now get the fuck out of my bus, get your skinny ass back to Baltimore and make sure you have every inch of you out of Alex’s house by the time we get there.” Lisa stammered a bit before huffing and stalking off the bus. I collapsed onto the couch and Zack stared at me, shocked. I shrugged and pulled my bottle of Midori from the floor. I took a swig of the intact bottle before handing it to Zack.

I rolled over in my bunk to find Alex’s head popped inside the curtain.
“Yes, Gaskarth?” I giggled as the bus bumped along the road to Little Rock. “Can I help you?” Alex smiled and pulled himself up behind me and closed the curtain shut.
“Yeah, I think you can. See I have this problem.” He began, propping himself up on one elbow.
“Oh yes?” I raised an eyebrow, both of us trying to keep a straight face.
“There’s this girl…” I nodded and tried to put on a very professional, ‘psychologist’ demeanour.
“Oh,” I interrupted. “It’s always a girl with you, Alexander.” Alex frowned and flicked my knuckles before tucking a lock of my hair behind my ear and pulling me over so I was leaning on his chest.
“But this one, she’s special. I love her to hell and back and yet she can swipe me away so easily.” I bent my neck so I could look up at him and fired back.
“Do you think this girl might have some trust issues?” I asked. “You know, something from her past that might make her weary? Women are fragile things.” Alex burst out laughing at the thought of me being fragile and then quickly tried to compose himself back into character.
“Oh yes, she definitely does.” Alex nodded solemnly and I tried to keep myself from laughing. “And that’s my fault. What do you think I should do?” Alex put on his best puppy dog face and I burst out laughing.
“Just fuck already! Jesus!” Jaime yelled from his bunk underneath mine, kicking the wall, and the whole bus erupted into laughter. “We’ve all been waiting for it.” I blushed and buried my head into the crook of Alex’s neck.
“If it’s what the fans want…” Alex whispered in my ear before flipping me over.

Notes

I know, it's shorter than the others. But I wanted to push the story forward somehow.
I hope your liking it!
