Love's Requiem

"Look I told you I’d be there, don’t worry!” I exclaimed in to my cell phone as I locked the door to my apartment.

“Well you’re already 15 minutes late!” Jesse whined

“Your practice isn’t for 3 hours, and it’ll take me 40 minutes to get to your place. Quit your bitching.”

“Fine, fine.” He said hanging up.

I was making my way to bayside as usual to hang out with Jesse and sit in on their band practice. Nothing’s changed really; I mean it’s only been a year so that might be why. And yes, Alex and I are still dating, surprisingly. And no we’re not engaged or expecting a kid. The sad part is, I really only get to see him when we’re on tour. I still live in New York obviously and Alex is still in Baltimore. I mean don’t get me wrong I care about him greatly, but until this thing gets so serious that it’s pretty much like we’re married I refuse to sell my apartment. And besides, I love New York too much, Baltimore is too clean and quite for me. Currently, Alex and the boys were in California working on they’re new record. They should be coming back home soon for thanksgiving in a few days.

“So when’s lover boy coming back?” Jesse asked me while we were hanging out in his room, like we’ve been doing for the past 12 years.

“Tuesday night I think he said about three days.” I told him. “When do you leave?” I asked him.

“Three weeks.” He told me while I nodded.

A little while later we were driving to their rehearsal space to meet up with everyone else. It was almost the end of their
session, so it now was all six of us fucking around.

“Rose of Sharyn!” I whined as I began playing the opening riff of the Killswitch engage song.

“Bella’s stuck doing the words!” Jesse laughed as Frankie took a seat on the couch and watched.

“Fine, watch and learn bitch.” I told Frankie going up to the mic, giving Ben his guitar back.

“This ought to be good.” Frankie laughed while Jesse was busy on his sidekick as usual.

“Yo Ketive, off the kick or I’ll bust yo ass.” I said seriously, making everyone burst out laughing.

“Is it just me or is she more bitchy when Alex isn’t around?” Jesse laughed.

“I always thought she was a bitch?” Frankie said as I flipped him off.

We began playing the song, and having a mini jam session.

“It won’t be long, we’ll meet again.” I sang half serious half joking cause I kept making faces at Frankie and Jesse. “My
love for you is everlas-ALEX?!” I shouted as I saw the one and only Alex Gaskarth stroll in to the room.

“The one and only babe.” He laughed as I ran and jumped in to his arms.

Okay so maybe something’s did change, like the fact that I now totally melt when I see him and love being in his arms. Especially since this is the first time I’m seeing him since August.

“What are you doing here? I thought you weren’t supposed to be coming in until Tuesday?” I asked him kissing him over and over.

“Surprise?” He said giving me a cute grin.

“Alright, which one of yous was in on this?” I asked turning around.

“Like I would help?” Frankie shrugged.

“Jesse?”

“I like seeing you all smiley when he’s around.” He shrugged.

“Only you.” I said shaking my head.
