Leaving Me Breathless
Chapter Five
*Alex's POV*
"Are you sure?" I whispered to Jack as we tip toed onto Silent Wishes' bus.
"Yes! Now shut up!" He muttered, smirking.
I watched as he snuck over to Bayleigh’s bunk and slid the curtain open.
"I CAN SEE YOU CHECKING HER OUT!!" I scream/whispered, and laughing to myself when he tensed up. Slowly, he pulled down her comforter and shook her awake. Slapping a hand over her mouth, he muttered a 'Sorry' and whispered something to her. She nodded, and stood up grinning. They walked over to me as I opened the bag full of water balloons, handed it to Jack, and made my way over to Lindsay. I picked her up easily, trying not to wake her up.
I made my way off the bus, spotting Jack and Bayleigh a few feet away. I set Lindsay down gently onto the pavement, hitting her head a little.
'Shit!' I whispered, and Bayleigh burst out in giggles. I glared at her and picked up a water balloon.
"Now what?" I asked Jack. He nudged Bayleigh and they both grabbed a balloon.
"1.....2.....3!"
They both squeezed a water balloon over the sleeping blonde. I copied their actions, trying not to laugh. She bolted up and gasped, too shocked to speak.
"Wh-wait what!??!" Lindsay sputtered, water dripping from her hair, nose, everywhere.
She squinted at the sun, which was almost done rising. Bayleigh burst out laughing causing her face to turn red.
"YOU ASSHOLE!" Lindsay took off after Bayleigh, who screamed and stumbled, running towards the bus.
"NO WET PEOPLE ON THE BUUUSS!" Bay screamed over her shoulder, running inside first since she was closer.
"I DON'T CARE!" Lindsay charged in after her and we heard them both run into something, and fall to the floor.
"Well you got her really wet." Jack said, smirking at me.
"Shut up." I rolled my eyes and threw a water balloon at him before he could register what happened, and ran around to our bus. I sat down, hidden, and thought about how obvious it is that Jack and Bayleigh really liked each other. A shadow covered me, and I braced myself for Jack's revenge. Instead, I felt people sit down on either side of me. I peeked out from behind my knees and saw Bayleigh on my left and Jack on my right.
"Where's-"
"Lindsay? Showering," Bay cut me off, "Now. Jackie and I here need to have a talk with you." Jack glared at her about the nickname but nodded in agreement.
"A talk?" I stared at them.
"Yes, about Lindsay."
I groaned, "I don't like her. We're just friends."
"I don't care. I'm just saying, DON'T. HURT. HER. She is one of the most insecure and shy people I know and you need to respect that." Bayleigh studied my face after she said that.
"Yes, okay. I wi-"
"I'm serious."
"I know. Like I said, she's not my type."
"Type? She's not a freaking Barbie! What's your "type" huh? Skinny whores with duck lips and their boobs hanging out of their shirt?!" Bayleigh stood up angrily and walked back onto her bus.
"What the hell was that?" I stared at Jack in shock.
"I dunno, I think she just wants Lindsay to feel good about herself and she trusts you."
I shook my head, "Whatever. Let’s go. We have to get ready for the show later."
*Lindsay’s POV*
“Hey! You’re Lindsay!” A girl with bright red hair said shocked once she reached the front of the line.
“Yeah?” I asked confused.
“Alex Gaskarth pulled you on stage yesterday, right?” She pointed to a shirt that had Miranda, Kennedy, Delaney, and Bayleigh having a pillow fight.
I grabbed a shirt that seemed about her size, “Uh yeah? That was like ten hours away from here though,” I laughed.
“It’s all over YouTube,” she handed me the cash still smiling.
I almost choked on my own spit, “What?”
She nodded, “Yep! There’s rumors’ going around about you and Alex!” And with that she smirked at me and walked away.
“There’s a bon fire tonight!” Miranda cut in front of the whole line.
“What time?” I ask ignoring the screams of amazed fans.
“Ten,” she smiled then turned around, “Now who wants autographs and pictures?”
~~
“The bonfire has all the bands and crew going! Dress cute! Oh! I’ll help you!” Miranda jumped up and down in excitement.
“Please don’t load my face with make-up,” I groaned.
The last time she ‘helped’ me get ready I looked like a clown with a Snooki bump and tan.
An hour and a half later we were finally ready.
“These shorts are too short!” I groaned.
“No they’re not! You look super cute!” Miranda admired her work.
I groaned as she led me out the door of the bus and to the pit.
“Lindsay! Glad you could make it!” Jack handed me a red solo cup.
“What is this?” I asked wearily.
“Bud light!” He smiled reassuringly.
I took the cup from him and drank it quite fast, “Where’s Bayleigh?”
“I think she’s over by the fire making s’mores or some shit like that,” He laughed pointed in the direction of the fire.
“Thanks!” I smiled before walking off to find my friend.
Someone grabbed me by the waist making me scream in a lady like manner. I turned around in surprise to see what pervert grabbed me.
“Shit! Alex!” I sighed relaxing.
“Hi!” He smiled.
I looked over his shoulder to see Bayleigh and Jack looking intently at as. I shrugged it off and looked back at the dimpled man in front of me.
“Why’d you get all dressed up? I liked your outfit earlier,” Alex pouted.
“Miranda wanted to dress me up,” I rolled my eyes.
I realized his hands were still resting on my hips and we were really close.
“Let’s go get some drinks!” I offered suddenly feeling awkward.
He nodded, “Let’s go!”
We walked past groups of people on the way to one of the many coolers.
“What’s your drink of choice, my lady?” Alex smiled at me showing off his dimples.
“Uh, Bud Light,” I said the first thing that came to mind.
He bent over digging through the cooler showing off his ass.
“Like what you see?” He wiggled it back and forth making me giggle.
“You wish!”
He handed me my drink, “Damn. Well I could make you like it.”
I felt my face heat up as I blushed, “What?”
He laughed, “Nothing!”
I drank my beer a little slower this time as we walked over to Jack and Bayleigh. The closer we got I realized they were whispering about something.
“Whatcha ladies talkin’ about?” I interrupted another one of their moments.
“Nothing,” Bayleigh shrugged chugging her bottle of beer.
“Damn, I still can’t get over you can just chug that!” Jack looked at her as she was finished.
“It’s like chugging an energy drink,” she shrugged again.
“Anyways, we were thinking about ditching, as this is lame and not a party, and just going back on our bus and watching movies. You guys wanna come with?” Jack asked setting his empty cup down.
I looked over to Alex who nodded, “Sure! No Home Alone though.”
Jack and Bayleigh both pouted, “I haven’t even seen the whole thing!”
Jack grabbed her by the shoulders, “WHAT?”
Her eyes went wide, “I had to leave Lindsay’s before it ended!”
“OH MY GOD!”
“CALM DOWN, DAMMIT!” She jokingly slapped him softly.
“Let’s go to the bus!” Alex started walking in the direction of the buses snapping them out of their world.
"Are you sure?" I whispered to Jack as we tip toed onto Silent Wishes' bus.
"Yes! Now shut up!" He muttered, smirking.
