Leah's Outfit / Patricks Face (will open new tab)
“Sooo, what happened yesterday? You kinda left me hanging,” Ariel asked me.
“Nothing really.” I replied.
“So he was just being cute for like no reason what-so-ever..?” She said referring to the texts I sent after my day with Alex.
“Basically. Oh a waiter burned me.”
“How did he burn you?”
“Coffee.”
“Why..?”
“Because he got bored, gosh Ariel you fucking salmon.”
“Sorry, jesus christ!” she practically yelled, suddenly becoming all defensive.
“Pipe the fuck down, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing...Sorry. I didn’t sleep very well last night, that’s all.”
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. Just couldn’t sleep.”
“Oh.” I said, not quite fully believing her.
“Yeah, sorry, again. Carry on.”
“Okay, anyway,” I narrowed my eyes at her, “He gave me his hoodie, and I still have it.”
“Omg, you’re making progress to claim him as bae!”
“I don’t know if i want to claim him as bae.”
“But you should.”
“Why though. I mean, I’ve known him for what, not even a week?”
“Your point is what because I’m not seeing it?”
“You can’t just jump into something with someone you barely know.”
“I may have done that once or twice in my life, pal.”
“Well still, I wanna see how it goes first, then i’ll decide.”
“Alrighty, then. Whatever you think is best for you, friend.”


After Ariel left later that day I thought about what she said, do I really want to be with Alex? Or was it just infatuation? He’s sweet, but he could just be being nice. You never really know someones feelings unless they actually tell you. So how do I know if he even likes me?

Alex: Do you wanna come with me to the studio?
The text interrupted my thoughts.
L: sure, what are you doing at the studio?
A: Meeting a friend to work on some writings
L: Are you sure I wont be in the way or anything?
A: If you were in the way, would I invite you? You could never be in my way
L: artythgfdt when are you going to be here?
A: I’m at Jack’s, so in like, now.
A knock at the door made me look up halfway through reading the text. I went over and opened it, smiling at Alex.
“Ready?” He asked hugging me. I nodded and locked the door on my way out.
“So who’s your friend?” I asked once we reached his car.
“His name’s Patrick. He’s the frontman for Fall Out Boy, ever heard of them?”
“Oh, they have that light up song right?” He blankly stared at me.
“Yes, Leah, yes they have that light up song.”
“I’ve heard it on the radio, and don’t judge me my music taste is limited okay.” He chuckled and put the car in drive.
“Well I’m on my way to the studio, studio, studio. Well i'm on my way to the studio-”
“What are you singing?” Alex asked, interrupting me.
“Brendon Urie vine?” I said, like it was obvious.
“Oh, so you know him but not the Patrick Stump? They’re good friends you know.”
“That’s rad.” We smiled at each other, the rest of the ride being silent.


“This is it.” Alex stopped in front of a door.
“Is this where you write?”I asked as he opened it.
“Yeah, it’s kinda just a room to sit and like relax while others are recording but we use it to write, too.” He opened the door and stepped through, I went in after him, immediately stopping in my tracks.
There sat the most beautiful man I had probably ever seen. He had reddish brownish hair that was mostly covered by a black fedora, which by the way was cute as fuck. He wore black jeans, a grey shirt and had a red cardigan on over it. He laughed at something Alex had said as he entered, making his nose crinkle and his thick black rimmed glasses move up just a tad. His lips formed back into a small smile as he looked at me, and may I say he has the most perfectly shaped lips ever. I looked into his grey/blue eyes and shook his hand, still no words coming out of my mouth, I knew he was talking because I could see his mouth moving, but I couldn’t hear anything.
Alex’s voice suddenly sounded, breaking me out of my trance. I looked down, knowing I had been staring.
“Stop drooling Leah, this is Patrick. Patrick, Leah.” Alex motioned in between us.
“Where have you been hiding this one, Alex?” Patrick asked, laughing.
“Actually, Jack knew her first. So props to him for not immediately scaring her away.” They talked about me like I wasn’t even there. “Shall we sit?” Alex asked. The three of us went and sat in some chairs at a small round table. They sat by each other, leaving me to sit across from them.
They began throwing ideas at each other and quickly got really into what they were discussing. I didn’t speak though, I sat and watched the beautiful man in front of me. The way he closes his right eye more than his left when he smiles. The way his hands seemingly glide across the paper, pen in hand jotting down random words here and there.
“Leah?” I shook the thoughts out of my head as I looked at an amused Alex. “I’m sure Patrick doesn’t want you staring at him.” He chuckled. My cheeks turned crimson.
“Oh I don’t mind one bit. It’s quite flattering actually.” Patrick winked. I felt the heat go to my ears and I looked down, covering my face with the sleeves of my blue sweater. “Well, I have a plane to catch here pretty soon, so I gotta go. Chicago is calling my name.” He laughed and my face fell slightly.
“Well it was nice seeing you, it’s been a while.” Alex told him, then said something else so I couldn’t hear. Patrick laughed at what he whispered and looked over at me.
“Are you going to make me ask for your number or are you going to give it to me?” He chuckled. Alex awkwardly smiled and I reached out for Patricks extended phone.
I typed in my number and me and Alex made our way out.
