All I Need Is a Sign From You

After Jack left, I fell back onto the bed, which I learned was very comfortable, and thought. Jack was Alex’s best friend, so he would know when Alex falls in love, right? So if Alex loves me, then I have this thing in the bag, right? I just have to get him to say it. In about 29 days. That shouldn’t be hard, right? This is easy as pie. But then again, pie isn’t that easy to make, well, to me at least.

-------------------------

“Mae.” Someone shook me, I groaned in response.

“Mae.” They shook me again, my eyes fluttered open.

My eyes fell upon Zack, “What?”

“Get up.” He said quietly.

“Why.” I groaned once again, stretching.

“We have to go.”

“Go where.” I whined, I just wanted to sleep.

“Tour, don’t you remember?”

“Ugh.” This was not what I signed up for.

“We’re leaving in 30 minutes.” He said, walking out of my room.

I still hadn’t packed! I jumped up and ran into the closet, quickly finding a suitcase and threw all of my clothes in there. I grabbed a duffel bag and threw in my shoes and bags, and zipped it up. I straightened the shirt I was wearing from before I fell asleep, and lugged the suitcases out of the closet. I looked in the mirror, and quickly put on some make-up, and combed my hair out. I shoved all of my make-up and hair products into another smaller bag, and threw that on top of the suitcase.

“Alex!” I yelled.

“What?” He asked, running up the stairs, “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing, I just need to get all of my bags down to the bus.”

He rolled his eyes, out of breath. He reached for the suitcase and the bag with all of my hair products while I grabbed the duffel bag with my shoes. I threw the duffel bag in the bus and I looked around, smiling. I never thought that I was be here. Ever. This wish was so awesome!

“Mae.” Alex said from behind me.

“Yeah?” I asked, turning around.

“This tour’s going to be boring.” He said, fixing his hair.

“Oh, I don’t care.” I smiled, “How long it is for?”

“Three months.”

Fuck, “Oh, t-that’s cool.” I smiled, unsure.

“There’s not going to be much you can do.” He said, reaching up into a cabinet for a Pop-tart.

“Oh well.” I smiled, walking back into the bed section of the bus, Alex followed.

“But there is one thing you can do.” He suggested.

“And that is?” I asked, reaching my bed, well, the bed that I was going to share with Alex.

“You can make me happy.” He smiled, laying on the bed.

“I’m not a sex toy, Alex.” I scolded.

“I know, you’re my sex toy.”

I rolled my eyes, “I don’t feel like it.”

“Are you sure you’re not pregnant? ‘Cuz if you are, that’s totally fine.”

“Alex, I’m sure, okay?”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Alex! If I was pregnant, I would tell you.” I rolled my eyes again.

“Well, three months ago you told me that you parents lived in New York.”

“Alex, that’s a total different type of lie.”

“So you are lying!” He cried, sitting up, pointing a finger at me.

“No!” I cried, “I don’t think I’m pregnant.”

“Come on.” He said, standing up and taking my hand.

“Where are we going?” I asked, trying to keep from falling.

“To buy a pregnancy test.”

“Alex! We can’t!” I cried, ripping my hand away from his.

The rest of the guys on the bus were looking at us, “Why not?” He asked.

“Because if I was, it would take like a month for the test to show up positive! It’s only been a week!”

“Fine. But in three weeks, we’re getting one.”

“Fine.” I huffed, going back to the bed to sleep this off.

--------------------------

“Alex, what if she is?” I heard Jack say.

“I don’t know.” He sighed, I could tell that they were in the dining room part of the bus.

“Would you stick by her?” Zack asked.

“Of course!” Alex defended, I could tell they thought I was asleep.

“Are you sure?” Zack asked.

“Zack, I’m not a pansy.”

“But Alex, this is a lifetime decision.”

“Rian, do you think I don’t know that?” Alex growled.

“I just want you to know what you’re getting into.”

“You know what, just forget it.” Alex said, stomping towards me.

I pretended to sleep, closing my eyes extra tight. I wish I knew what I was getting into before I made this wish.

Sorry Mae, you’re all out of wishes.
