This Ride Is A Wild One

“Come on man, wake up” Jack shook Alex in an attempt to wake the poor guy up. No doubt he would be nursing the same hangover as his friend “What time is it?” he opened his eyes, squinting as Amy opened some blinds, revealing the bright sun outside “11” Jack looked at his phone “Is that it? I’m going back to sleep” he turned over before Jack grabbed him by his ankle, pulling him off the couch. With a hard thud, he hit the floor groaning “Okay I’m up” he stood rubbing his ass which he had fell on. “Morning” he smiled at Amy as he passed her to get to the kitchen for some much needed painkillers and coffee. Amy watched as Jack eyed Alex, watching his every movement. Had Jack heard what happened last night? Did Alex even remember? She hated being in this situation “So how much do you guys remember from last night?” she laughed nervously as her and Jack joined Alex in the kitchen. Jack seemed to be deep in thought before he spoke “Most of it really. I think I passed out as soon as I got in bed though” he scratched the back of his neck, laughing. Amy nudged Alex whose back was turned to them “What about you?” he shrugged keeping his back turned away from them “Not much at all really” “Nothing at all?” Amy tried to push him for answers “Nope. I remember falling asleep on the floor, then I woke up on the couch. You guys want coffee?” he asked trying to change subject “Amy here had to help your drunken ass get to sleep” Jack piped up. Amy laughed before she remembered that Jack wasn’t there when she helped Alex last night. She certainly hadn’t told him about it either. Her stomach dropped realising that Jack must have heard what happened last night. Panic started to set in and she realised that she needed to get out of the house “Um, I’m gonna go get dressed, I have stuff to do today” she lied, quickly leaving the kitchen and bolting upstairs, she picked up her phone, dialling Cass’ number hoping she was free. If there was someone she could talk to about this mess, it was Cass.

“Hey” Cass smiled as she sat down across the table from Amy. The two were in a small coffee shop somewhere in the middle of town “So what do you need to get off your chest? I don’t need to beat Jack’s ass do I? Because I totally wouldn’t be able to, which is why I would have Rian do it” she grinned “Oh Cass, I love you” Amy laughed at her until Cass turned serious “Okay so spill, what’s up?” Amy took a deep breath “I don’t even know how to explain this. Last night the three of had been drinking, yes Alex joined us for Valentine’s Day. Anyway, those two drank so much and fell asleep. I dragged Jack up to bed, then went back down to help Alex get settled. Long story short, Alex blurted out that he loved me and tried to kiss me” Cass sat in shock, obviously this was not what she was expecting “Did you kiss him?” “No! I stopped him and told him he was drunk. He apologised then went to sleep. The worst part is that I think Jack heard. I’m kinda scared to go back home because I left those two alone. What if Jack brings it up and flips on him? I don’t want that to happen. Once again, it’ll be Amy’s fault for separating Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat, and the band will suffer then their fans will hate me and I’ll be forced to change my name, move states and cut my hair and-“ “Amy! Would you listen to yourself? You sound ridiculous. None of that is going to happen! If Jack hasn’t mentioned it to Alex, then you have two options. You either ignore the whole thing, and avoid talking about it, or you take Alex to one side and speak to him about it” “But Cass, I’m not even sure if Alex remembers what he did. What if he thinks I’m lying?” “Then you wait for him to say something to you. If that boy has any sense, he’ll do the right thing and speak to you about it when he’s sober. If he does remember it, he can’t avoid it forever!” “You’re right” Amy sighed. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, signalling a text message

Alex: We need to talk x
