*Alex*
I woke up surprisingly early this morning. It was maybe fifteen minutes before Tay's alarm was set to go off. I reached over and turned it off for her. It's not like I could possibly fall back asleep.
I looked down at the sleeping girl in my arms. I was so fucking lucky to still be able to even wake up next to her. What I did yesterday, was a complete dick move.
Why the fuck would I want to break up with her?!?
Where did that shit even come from??
I'm just so fucking pissed at myself for acting like a complete ass to her all day, and then taking out my own stupid issues on her. I don't even know why she's still with me, honestly.
I began stroking the ends of her dark hair.
She's so beautiful. I'm really fucking lucky. No. I'm really REALLY fucking lucky.
I continued admiring her, until she yawned and fluttered her eyelids open.
She looked at me and smiled.
"You're actually up before I am, that's new!" She giggled.
"Well I wasn't too relaxed last night...didn't have the best sleep." I sighed, earning a worried look from Tay.
"Oh! W-was I in the way, or making you uncomfortable, or-"
"No, Tay! No no no...that's the thing! I just...can't stop thinking about...yesterday. I just- I bet I made you feel unwanted, and that's not okay, because I really do want and need you in my life, and I wasn't trying to- to be like your exes or anything...I treated you like shit and I'm really sor-"
"Alex, please. Let's just put that behind us..it's okay, it's all good! It's fine!" She cut me off, holding my face in her hands.
"No it's not.." I gave her a guilty expression. That's what I felt..pure guilt and stupidity.
She sighed, and crawled over on top of me, brushing my bangs back with her fingers.
"Alex...stop thinking about it, please. We're okay. It's okay." She whispered, grazing her fingers down my cheeks.
"No, I'm really sorry, and you have to know that!" I protested, taking her hand in mine and giving it a little squeeze.
"Okay, fine. Apology accepted. Just please, don't do that again, okay?"
"I swear I won't." I reassured her, holding out my pinky finger, which she happily locked with hers, before interlocking all of our fingers together.
"You're so cute, Alex. Oh my gosh!" She laughed, pressing her forehead against mine.
"How did I get so lucky?"
I grinned and pecked her on the lips.
"I ask myself that question everyday, Tay."

At school, it was back to normal. Meeting Tay after her classes, passing little flirty notes in algebra, all that good stuff.
But she couldn't come to the cafeteria today, because she had to get some notes or something from her English class.
But I took this as an opportunity to talk about the surprise for Tay's birthday. I even invited Hayley to sit with us today, because I figured that basically being her best friend, she'd want to come too.
But man, was she loud.
"OH MY GOSH, THE BEACH?! YES YES YES!!" She squealed with over-excitement.
"Yeah, the beach sounds cool, man! I bet she'll really enjoy that!" Rian chimed in, causing everyone else to smile and nod in agreement.
"Great! I'm glad you guys like the idea! It's next Saturday, so be ready and everything." I was really excited to surprise her now.
"Yeah, totally! But wait, so...this means you guys are okay now, right? You seemed kinda..weird yesterday, man." Zack asked, matching the concerned faces all around the table as it fell silent.
I gulped and tapped my fingers nervously on the table.
Great. I'm a dick and everyone knows it.
"I uh...yeah, I'm fine. We're fine, everything's cool. Just a rough day, is all." I smiled at them with reassurance.
Hayley beamed at that.
"Oh my God, GOOD. I just know that you guys will always work things out, and stay together no matter what!!"
I genuinely smiled at all the faith she had in our relationship.
It was true, we will always try to work things out through thick and thin. I promised her I'd be there for her no matter what. I'm keeping that promise.

*Tay*
Our two week deadline to make and practice a song for our Music performance is up. Todays' the day that Alex and I perform Kiss Me Again in front of the whole senior class.
I was standing backstage in the auditorium, waiting for the concert to start. People we're starting to barrel in, taking their seats.
Am I nervous? Lil bit.
I mean- people are getting to skip class for this and everything...and what if we're not good enough? No, I'm not good enough. Alex is fucking amazing. But I'm just gonna fuck it up for the both of us, and we're gonna get an F and I'll ruin his grades once again, and we'll embarrass ourselves, and he'll never talk to me again and....
My thoughts were cut short by Alex pulling me into his embrace. I was worrying so much, I didn't even notice him approach me from where I was staring down at the floor.
"H-Hey, Alex.."
I hated how my voice kept stuttering from my nerves.
"Tay, stop freaking out."
"W-what? I-I'm not fr-freaking out.."
"Yes you are. I can tell that your nervous, Tay. You're stuttering and your hands are trembling. Just breathe, gorgeous. It's gonna be alright, we're gonna do fine."
I buried my head into his chest, and tightened my grip around the back of his flannel button-up.
"But what if we don't?" I know I'm probably being over-dramatic right now, but I really just wanted to burst into tears.
"We will, I promise you. If we somehow end up doing bad, which we won't, it won't even matter. We tried our best, and we had fun. Right? Isn't that what matters?" He rubbed my back comfortingly.
"Grades matter." I muttered.
He made a long exhausted sigh, and pulled back, still holding my arms, so he could look at me.
"Tay, I told you, I'm really sorry. You mean more to me than grades, and I'm sorry if I've made you think otherwise."
The look of guilt on his face broke my heart. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pressed our foreheads together.
"You're my girl, Tay.." He continued.
"You're more important to me than anything."
"Anything?"
"Anything." He repeated.
"Even school?"
"Even school."
"Even your guitar?"
"Y-yeah...even my guitar."
"So if I accidentally smash your guitar, it won't matter because I mean the world to you?" I teased, grinning up at him.
"Okay, you can't just 'accidentally' smash my guitar." He laughed, wrapping his arms tighter around my waist.
"Mm...I guess you're right." I tilted my head up higher to catch his lips with mine.
It was a sweet, innocent kiss, that made my anxiety turn into butterflies, and sparks erupted in my brain. Alex had this effect on me, and I don't really know how, but I like it. A lot.
We pulled away when we heard Flyzik announcing that the concert was starting.
We decided to go sit in the wings, so we could watch people perform before us. Watching others perform and do well, actually set my nerves lower. That, and the fact that Alex would be there with me, like he is now, holding my hand as we sat.

"Now here's a performance from Jack Barakat and Hayley Williams!"
Me and Alex jumped out of our seats and cheered on our best friends louder than everyone else, causing them to glare at us when they walked on stage. We burst into laughter, then sat back down and listened quietly as Jack started playing the chords, and Hayley began singing a song called, That's What You Get.
After their performance, we heard Rian perform with some girl named Cassadee, and Zack performed with a girl named Avril.
Then soon, it was our turn. We both took a deep breath, then stood up and looked at each other.
"You ready?" Alex gave me small smile, interlocking our fingers once again.
"I think so." I gave him a small nod.
He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss for good luck before we walked on stage, gaining lots of cheers and whistles that caused me to blush uncontrollably.
Alex swung his guitar around his shoulder, and stepped up to the mic.
"Hey, so we're gonna sing a little song we wrote called, Kiss Me Again." He grinned at the cheering crowd, winning them over with his flawlessness.
"Okay, here we go!" He began strumming his guitar, causing my nerves to come back, full blast. But then, when his heavenly voice filled the microphone, it calmed me down somehow. It's like I was in a trance, just listening to his words.

I gotta say something I've been thinking about.
I can't wait to lay around with you.
And tell you all the secrets I've been keeping to myself.

He turned to me, signaling that it was my turn. I began to sing my lines I wrote about him.

It's been awhile since I've felt butterflies.
Do you feel the same way too?
If every single second could last that much longer.
Would you hold me?

Then we both sang the chorus together, which really calmed my nerves.

And kiss me again underneath the moonlight.
You're more than a friend, oh.
I knew it from the first sight, yeah.
Hold me, feel my heart beat.
Put your arms around me.
And kiss me again.
And kiss me again.

I smiled at him as he began to sing his next lines.

I gotta say I wasn't expecting you
To come this way and fall into my arms.
And now I know I can't deny this feeling any longer.

I began tapping my heel to the beat, feeling more free and relaxed.

I close my eyes, I can't stop thinking about you.
Crack a smile, I just can't lose.
At a mile a minute my heart beats to the limit when I'm with you.

We both smiled at the crowd as we sang the chorus again, now feeling really into the song. Performing with Alex just felt..right.

On Alex's next part, he turned to me and sang, while energetically strumming his guitar, and turning his legs into an odd angle, but looked super cute.

I can't let you go, can't let you float away...

I sang the next line, walking closer to him with my microphone, and grinning.

'Cause that would be a mistake!

We both sang to each other.

I'm not ready to run, can't let you go to waste.
No, no, no, no!!

We turned back to the crowd and jumped to the beat, smiling when we saw that they were all jumping and dancing along with us, as if it were an actual concert!

And kiss me again underneath the moonlight!
You're more than a friend, oh.
I knew it from the first sight, yeah!
Hold me, feel my heart beat.
Put your arms around me.
Hold me, feel my heart beat.
And put your arms around me...
And kiss me again, and again, and again!
Oh, kiss me again.

When the song ended, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, which made me pumped, instead of embarrassed. I felt so fucking proud of us!!
Alex quickly took off his guitar, and spun me around when I ran into his arms in joy.
He put me back down, and wrapped his arm around my waist, waving to the crowd as we walked off the stage. We were greeted by a bunch of our friends and other people in Music, congratulating us, and some also telling us how cute we were together, which made me smile and blush.
"See? I told you it would go well.." Alex tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and grinned at me.
"Well you were right! That was so much fun, Alex!!" I was a big bundle of happiness.
He chuckled, then leaned down and gave me a long, passionate kiss.
All my worries just floated away, and everyone around us disappeared. It was just me and Alex, just the way I liked it.
I wish I could just relive that moment over and over again.
I wish that I could have this moment for life.
