Stupid and Fearless
Can We Go Out Tonight?
“Holy shit is Justin Bieber here?” Jack yells into the mic, addressing the reeking odor of pot to the crowd.
Everyone hoots and hollers at the guys.
“Alright alright. Last song of the night. You guys have been amazing thanks for coming out.” Alex laughs to the crowd.
He launches into “Somewhere in Neverland”. I watch from the side of the stage as the boys bound around having the time of their lives. I bob my head to the music and look out at the crowd. There are some crowd surfers and mosh pits going on out there. I chuckle at the idea of people moshing to All Time Low. Not quite mosh pit material in my opinion. But hey, who am I to tell them what they can and can’t do at a concert?
The song finishes up and the guys walk towards me exiting the stage. The crowd screams for an encore, but the guys keep walking. Alex grins as soon as he makes eye contact with me and picks up his pace a little. My eyes widen as I see how sweaty he is and try to walk away slowly. He grins even harder and scoops me up in his arms, wiping his sweat all over me.
“ALEXXXX.” I laugh. “This is so gross! Put me down!”
Of course, Alex doesn’t. He carries me through the venue to a locker room of some sort. He plops me down on one of the benches and the guys follow close behind him. All of a sudden, they are all stripping their clothes off. I put my hands over my eyes and laugh.
“Hey, you’re gonna have to get used to this. May as well see us all naked now. Plus, now is your only chance to shower until tomorrow. So I suggest you do. You’re covered in sweat it’s soooooo gross.” Alex smiles at me wickedly.
“You fuck.” I grumble at him. I watch as the guys bare asses waddle to the showers. Alex is standing in front of me ass naked with two towels in his hands. I look up at him uncomfortable.
“You don’t have to. I’ll shower with you in the furthest shower if you want.” He suggests.
I wait to make sure all the guys are under the water and tug my clothes off. Alex picks me up and I wrap my legs around his back, trying to cover up as much of me as possible. Alex kisses the side of my head and carries me the furthest away from the guys as possible.
“NO SHOWER SEX FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.” I hear Rian call out to us.
Alex and I crack up. Quickly, we shower and wrap ourselves in a towel. I pad back to where my clothes were and see one of the body guards standing there.
“We texted them to bring clothes. I didn’t know what you wanted to wear, so I just told them to grab a pair of my sweatpants and a shirt. You can change when we get on the bus.” Alex shrugs.
I nod and change quickly, relieved that all the guys are facing away. I glance at Jack while Alex is drying his hair off with a towel. I see Jack peek at me just as I pull Alex’s sweatpants on. I’m still only wearing a bra and Jack winks at me, turning back around. My face flushes red and my cheeks burn.
“You good babe?” Alex asks me.
“For sure.” I force a smile.
I slip my shirt on and wait for Alex to put his clothes on. The other guys start heading out to the bus. Alex and I finally leave, not too far behind the others. He snakes his arm around my waist and I lean against him lightly as we walk.
“Babe? Would you mind if we went out tonight?” Alex asks me. “Like a legit bar and club? You don’t have to come, but I would rather you did. You don’t have to drink.”
“Of course silly.” I smile at him. “I’ll go with you. Just take care of me if I get too messed up. I doubt I will though.”
He grins and squeezes me tightly. “Thank you.” He kisses me on the temple.
We walk to the bus and hop on. I stride to the back of the bus and pull some clothes out getting ready for tonight. The guys are lounging in the front, ready to go. I slip on a pair of jean shorts and a light blue denim shirt. I grab a pair of platform boots, a cross necklace, and some bracelets. Quickly, I run into the bathroom and put on a little makeup, and pin my bangs back. I check out my piercings in the mirror and am totally pleased with the way they are healing up. They look sexy as hell with this shirt. Alex knocks on the door and comes in wearing a black v-neck and a pair of skinnies. His jaw drops as soon as he sees me.
“So maybe we should just stay behind tonight.” Alex murmurs in my ear seductively. He nips it gently.
“No way.” I laugh. “It’s the first night out on tour. I know damn well if I weren’t here, you would be going out tonight. I don’t want you holding back at all. Just do you, okay?” I grin at him.
“Did I mention how perfect you are?” Alex kisses my temple. Even with my heels, he’s a good 2 or 3 inches taller than me.
I wink at him in the mirror and walk out of the bathroom, Alex following close on my heels. The boys stare at me and Rian lets out a low whistle.
“You look hot as hell.” Zach blurted out.
I laugh and Alex wraps his arms around me. “No more gawking. Let’s goooo.”
The boys hop up and jog off of the bus and into two golf carts. The security guards drive us up to the bar so we can avoid any fans. We walk into the back of the bar and the music is pounding. Rian and Zach immediately split and run to the dance floor. Jack, Alex, and I go to the bar and order drinks. I order rum and coke and the guys order beers. I sip my drink and watch everyone dance as Jack and Alex talk to each other next to me.
A couple of girls went up to them and asked for autographs, which they gladly gave. After about 2 drinks, I was feeling pretty jumpy and wanted to dance. I grabbed Alex’s hand and pulled him off the barstool. He smiles at me and stumbles onto the dance floor. He’s pretty tipsy too.
Alex and I grind on each other to the beat of the music. He leans down and kisses my neck, sliding his hands down my waist and into my back pockets.
“Take it easy.” I yell to him winking. “Go hang with Jack.”
“You sure babe?” He yells back to me.
I nod and dance away from him and into the middle of the dance floor. I sway my hips to the beat, obsessed with this feeling. When I dance, I feel so free. I get really into the beat of the music and just let go of every insecurity I may have about myself.
I keep dancing for a few songs and glance over at Alex to see what he is doing. Jack and him have two girls talking to them, both extremely hot. Immediately, a pang of jealousy shoots through my veins. Instead of being a mature adult and approaching him, I decide to be a high school girl and find a guy to dance with. Must be the alcohol.
I find a guy who looks to be about Alex’s height. He’s been eyeing me all night with his piercing green eyes. He has thick black hair and is wearing a white t-shirt and black skinnies. I motion for him to come close to me with my finger and he gladly steps in.
I turn my body to his and dance like I’ve never danced before. My ass grinds against his hips and his hands stay planted around my waist.
“What’s your name?” He talks loudly over the music as we dance.
“Diana. Yours?” I turn to face him and dance closely to him.
“Manny.” He purrs in my ear.
We dance a little more and I glance towards Alex. There is a girl planted on his lap, but he doesn’t look that comfortable. Probably hoping I don’t see him. Too late.
“You wanna get a drink?” Manny asks me.
“For sure.” I grab his hand and lead him off of the dance floor, to the bar.
We order our drinks, another rum and coke for me, and sit down near Alex and Jack. I don’t think Alex has seen me yet.
“So tell me about yourself.” I flirt tipsily.
“I’m 23. I live nearby, and am a firefighter. I have a couple tattoos and love hitting up concerts. Not sure what else to say so tell me about you.” Manny smiles at me.
I take a closer look at him and realize he’s pretty damn hot. His arm muscles are bulging and I see some ink on his right bicep. He has thick black eye lashes, making him look sweet. Manny has perfect white teeth and a smile that’ll knock the wind out of you.
“I’m 20, will be 21 in a few days actually. No tattoos yet, but I’m looking forward to getting a couple. I’m currently touring with All Time Low just for shits and gigs. I’m close with Alex so he figured he would just take me with them.” I explain to him.
“Holy shit! The, All Time Low? Are they here?” He asks with an excited look on his face.
All of a sudden, it hits me. The perfect plan. “For sure. You want to meet them? Alex and Jack are near by.”
Manny hops up and slides his arm around my waist. I do the same to him and walk him to Alex and Jack. They both are laughing with girls on their laps and look up at me. All of a sudden, Alex’s eyes flash as he realizes what he and I are both doing.
“Hey Alex, Jack. This is my friend Manny. He’s a fan.” I smile at them sweetly.
Alex and Jack shake his hand, smiling at him. Alex’s smile is definitely forced.
“Hey. I’m a huge fan.” Manny grins. “Man I hit the jackpot tonight.” He winks at me.
Perfect.
I lean up to whisper/yell in his ear, “You wanna go back to dancing?”
“Absolutely.” He nods.
“See ya later guys.” I smile at them and dance back onto the dance floor with Manny’s hands in mine.
Manny and I glance for a few minutes and I glance back at Alex who has his eyes glued onto Manny and I. The skank was still planted on his lap with her arms around his shoulders, trying to get his attention. Mission accomplished.
“You wanna go back to my place? I guess going to yours would be the bus and I’m not sure how that would go over.” Manny chuckles in my ear.
Do I?
Everyone hoots and hollers at the guys.
“Alright alright. Last song of the night. You guys have been amazing thanks for coming out.” Alex laughs to the crowd.
He launches into “Somewhere in Neverland”. I watch from the side of the stage as the boys bound around having the time of their lives. I bob my head to the music and look out at the crowd.

Notes
http://shootupsunshine.polyvore.comI don't usually post pictures of outfits, but I figured it would be easier for this one.
I can be such an asshole when I write. Leaving you lovely readers on cliff hangers. What is wrong with me?
Thanks for all of your support everyone (:

So I stumbled across the first installment of this and started reading. Needless to say, I'm all caught up and just finished with what you had of this second installment. This story is so cute and I really love it.
If you ever find yourself writing for it again, I will be here to read. I think these characters deserve an ending. <3 Some ideas you could work with is writing a chapter with what song exactly he chose to dedicate to her (the fact that that is where it left off is killing me) as well as maybe approaching how the fans react to their relationship. At the very beginning you brought up the fact of either keeping it hidden or putting it out there, but it was never approached again, so that may be something to approach if you continue with this, which I really hope you do. Like will the relationship still be hidden? And if so, what kind of toll would it take on them? Just a thought or idea to maybe inspire you to continue this, since it seemed like you were struggling with writer's block.
But if you don't continue, I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know I really enjoyed what you have of this. You're a really great writer. Just wanted to show you that people like me are still stumbling across this story and enjoying it. :) Once again, I will be one reader here if you ever choose to continue.
