I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me 
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready


Alex's p.o.v.

The sky above me and Jack was beginning to turn its side and go dim. I pulled my phone out, checking the time. My eyes widened a bit when I saw the time. Ten minutes until the concert ends. I've literally had the time of my life. Being on that stage for over thirty minutes is beyond amazing. But now, in ten minutes, the gates will have to close. I bit my lip, looking at the boy beside me who had also pulled his phone out, his eyes widening a bit, too.

"A-Alex, I need to go-go and meet Zack at the gates. Could you-uh- show me where it is, please?" He asked shyly. Is it just me, but he sounds like...kinda cute when he says 'please'? Yeah, maybe.

"Sure, but we're heading in the wrong direction." I laughed, turning my body around. I waited for Jack to do the same and we began walking down to the gate. I looked over to Jack to see him smiling down at the ground. What was he smiling at? I chuckled to myself. Wow, I seriously laughed at a boy smiling at the ground?

"Huh?" I heard from beside me. I furrowed my eyebrows. I turned my head to meet Jack's brown eyes.

"What?" I asked, the same facial expressions.

"W-What? I thought you said something." Jack blushed looking down at the ground. Okay, so now that was cute.

"Nope, but let's talk because I might not get to see you again." I pouted, bringing my hands into my pocket. Jack nodded.

"Okay, so uh-"

"What's your favorite colour?" I interjected, smiling widely. Okay, that was a weird question to ask, but fuck it.

"Hmm, red?" He said, a questioning tone added to his voice. I gasped.

"No way, me too!" I yelled. I think I'm really starting to like Jack. As friend of course.

"We're so alike." He grinned.

"So we are." I winked, causing him to duck his head. I really don't know where that wink came from. As I looked up, I could see the gate in front of us. I really don't want Jack to leave.

"Jack, oh my god! Where have you been?!" The muscular guy screeched, running over to Jack and hugging him. I frowned a little. Something hit my gut and made me turn slightly red. I'm not...jealous. No, I'm not. I don't even barely...I don't even like Jack. Why am I jealous of his best friend hugging him? No, I'm not jealous at all. I watched as Zack looked at me. I looked away from his eyes as they were beginning to check me up and down. I turned back to him after I felt his eyes off my body. He whispered something in to Jack's ear that caused him to blush. Ow Fuck, that pain again. What the Fuck is wrong with my gut? I think I might need to go to the doctors or something. Zack broke the hug, stepping back before turning his head to me.

"Is he with you Jack?" He asked. He didn't sound mean, despite that he looked like he could break someone's nose with his pinky finger. I pulled my eyes onto Jack who was standing there awkwardly.

"Oh yeah. This is Alex. I happened to meet him backstage. Alex, this is my best friend, Zack." He informed. I looked over to Zack, smiling the best I could to look friendly as possible. I don't really want Jack's friends hating on me.

"Hey, Alex." Zack waved a little, the same smile on his face.

"Hey." I smiled back at him, my fingers messing around in my pocket to find my phone. Oh, what's that? I felt some kind of paper and pulled it out. As I opened the small piece of paper, I read the numbers displayed. I smirked, remembering Max had told me that if I met anyone hot, I should give the paper to them. I placed the paper in my palm, closing my hand.

"Uh, Jack, we've gotta go, your mum will be wondering where we are." Zack elbowed Jack softly. Jack broke his gaze from me, a sad smile on his face.

"Yeah, sure," He said Zack before turning to me. He smiled, walking a little closer to me.

"Thank you so much, Alex. You've literally made my day by letting me see your dad's band close up. Not to mention, you are fucking awesome..." He said, mumbling something under his breath. All I heard was "you...hot" Did he just call me hot? No, well, okay.

"You're welcome, Jack. You've been awesome, too. A great friend. Hey, uh, can I have a hug?" I asked nervously, not even meaning the last bit to come out. I mean, I did actually want to hug him. Since I saw him, I sorta wanted to hug him. Jack blushed, nodding, looking down. I smirked, walking over to him and hugging him. Oh god, he smelled nice. Jack wrapped his arms around me. I carefully looked up to Zack who was talking to some blonde. I smirked again. I opened my hand, placing the paper between my index finger and thumb. I placed the paper in Jack's pocket skillfully, squeezing his ass. I mean, I had to. If I didn't, I couldn't really get the paper in his back pocket. Jack gasped, jumping slightly. I smirked again, quickly bringing myself from the hug.

"Seeya, Jack." I winked, catching his flushed face before I walked off. Okay, so my mission was complete. I had given my number to a hot person. A boy. Oh.

~~~

"Oh, hey guys." I said in shock, not really expecting my dad and Mark to be in the bus, sitting on the sofa together. They were strangely sitting really close.

"Hey, Alex! Did you have fun?" Mark perked up, his blue eyes setting on mine. I walked over to the sofa in front of then, sitting down on it.

"Yeah, thank you so much for that show, dad!" I beamed, generally happy, memories of being on stage entered my brain.

"We mean with Jack, Alex." Mark rolled his eyes, acting like it was an obvious question. I raised an eyebrow at them both.

"Uh, yeah. He's really cool. Actually, we both have a lot in common." I said carefully. My dad was smirking, his arm over the sofa back.

"I'm sure you do." Mark winked at me. What is it with them winking at me?!

"Okay, why do you keep winking at me?" I asked, seriously getting sort of concerned. Mark raised his hands up in defense.

"Woah, calm down!" He laughed, waving his hands in the air. I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest, giving them a look that said 'I swear to god, if you don't tell me...'

"Okay, fine. You know that Jack kid?" He asked, finally placing his hands back down on to the sofa. My heart sort of did a flippy thing at Jack's name.

"Y-Yeah?" Mark gasped, aw'ing after. That caused more confusion than the beginning.

"Aww, you like him, don't you? You can tell!" Mark smiled turning around to my dad. I furrowed. Did I? Hang on, Mark doesn't mind people who are gay? Well, their songs say they don't, but I mean, he just didn't look the type. Besides, Jack is hot, but I don't think I would date him? Oh god, I'm so confused.

"Uh, no." I furrowed my eyebrows again, my hands now placed on my legs.

"Alex, shut up! Yes you do!" My dad finally spoke, yelling but smiling. Um, no I don't, but I do.

"Nope." I popped the 'p', getting up and walking to the end of the bus, walking past my dad and his members' bunk. I arrived at the back of the bus. Yeah, I called it a bunk room when in reality, it was just a couch room that strangely had a bunk in one of the extra rooms. Seriously, there was nowhere to move in the little room that contained my bunk. This bus has a weird fucking layout. I shook my head, going through the extra room, seeing my bunk and deciding that yeah, I need some sleep. I got into my bunk, instantly wrapping the covers around me. I turned over so I was facing the wall bit. I thought back to today. I actually played a show for the first time ever. It actually went pretty fucking great. I wasn't expecting the crowd to go that wild, though. I smiled to myself, closing my eyes and getting ready to finally fall asleep.
