The Story of a Girl...in a Band

We walked back to the bus to start getting ready. I took a shower and put a robe on. I fixed my hair and waited for someone to help with my hair. I sighed. Alex straightened his hair an already had his outfit on. He sat beside me.

"Being a girl sucks, doesn't it?"

"Some things suck more than others," I said, looking over.

"You know we're preforming tonight?"

"What?"

"We're preforming, they want us to play acoustic and then an 'energetic set'."

"We need to play it," I said, looking over at him. He patted my knee.

"You're right. Do you miss him?"

"Yes...terribly. I can't believe the doctors-" he cut me off by kissing me softly.

"It'll be okay," He said walking to the bunk area as others hopped on the bus.

My hairdresser came over and used a product to make my hair look red at the roots. She straightened it and put loose ringlets at the bottom of my layers. I smiled and put on the outfit I bought yesterday and walked to the back with Alex.

"Beautiful." He said smiling as I sat down. The bus came to a stop before I could say anything. We got off and started walking the red carpet and posing crazily. The entire band knew something was up with me and Alex. We got along so well and he kept smiling over at me like there was a connection sexually, but there wasnt, and wouldn't be until later on in life.

I had that one night. When my make up and hair was perfect, I was with the perfect guy that made me feel perfect. I just felt all-over perfect, and there's not one feeling that made me feel this way, ever. Alex Gaskarth was the Buzznet reporter, so whenever Alex would come over, the other Alex would get protective. I talked to Alex G about that.

"Alex, I think you should sorta back off trying to flatter me. It's nice and all, it's just making our Alex feel protective. He doesn't like people to hit on me in front of the band and-"

"He's jealous." Alex G said smirking.

"No Alex, he just doesn't want you to hurt me," I said.

"Okay. I'll back off, we'll try and start over. Forget all the stuff I've said before."

"Okay, but I think someone else is in for an apology," I said walking away, back to the band. We posed more then went in to take our seats. Alex grabbed my hand and led me in once we got away from reporters. We took our seats. We were nominated for best new band.

The awards started, then our category came up.

"And the winners are..." The girl said opening the envolope. Alex grabbed my hand a squeezed it,"THREE DAYS UNTIL MIDNIGHT!"

We all ran up to get the award, the entire time smiling. Alex and I did a cartwheel onto the stage. I had on a pair of shorts under my dress. I walked to the mic.

"Wow. Good thing I wore shorts underneath." I said, as the rest of the band gathered around me. "I guess all I can really say is that we only won because of our fans. We haven't done anything different since we were just a small band, it was all you guys. Props to you and thank you so much." I said. Each of the guys said something then we ran backstage to change to get ready for our performances. I put on a pair of dark skinny jeans, a blue zebra print shirt and a black vest. I pulled on some 'Cant Stop Wont Stop' bracelets and blue vans. I put on grey eyeliner and blue eyeshadow.

I grabbed my orange duct taped microphone and Alex began playing Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World. I sat on the stool in between Alex and Zack, with Jonathan and Nick.

"There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.

So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in."

The crowd cheered as they switched instruments and moved the stools. We went into the song Set Off by Hey Monday.

"In the dark it's getting hard to breathe
Suffocating, something's wrong
I feel so incomplete
They stop and stare
And try to drag us down
Light the fuse
Flip the switch
Baby, hold your ground

You and me
They wanna break us
Let's shake it up
Cause they will never take us

Set off all the fires
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires
Set off your alarms
They can give us all they got
You're all I want

All their fears
Watch 'em all come true
All their words
Wrote ever and tell us what to do

Hit and run
There's nothing left to lose
Break their hole, slip away
Forever me and you

You and me
They wanna break us
Let's shake it up
Cause they will never take us

Set off all the fires
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires
Set off your alarms
They can give us all they got
You're all I want

Let's blind their eyes
And wave goodbye
We start the fire

Set off all the fires
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires
Set off your alarms
They can give us all they got
You're all I want

You're all I want"

The crowd cheered and we rushed off stage. Alex pulled me into the supply closet and locked the door. He kissed me passionately, his arms around my waist. I put my arms around his neck. One thing led to another.
