Well hello there, my name is Cali Barakat. I know what you're thinking, 'Are you related to that one Barakat kid that's in the super mega famous band, All Time Low?' The answer to that is yes, and yes I also know… most of the rest of the band. I've never formally met Alex, but I know all of the other guys.
This year I was going on Warped with my brother and his band, because I just graduated high school, and my mom wanted me to spend some time with Jack. I immediately jumped at the offer, I had been on Warped before, but only for a few days, then I had to go home. This was a whole summer, booyah!
I was meeting my brother and his band mates today, and I would continue to tour with them for 3 more months. I woke up and grabbed my outfit off of the top of my suitcase; I had laid it out last night. I put on a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and my bright green bra. I threw a brown vest on over top of that and slipped on some gladiator sandals to complete the look.
I smiled and loosely curled my jet black hair, before adding some light make-up and walking out of the front door, ready for Warped.
I showed up at the first venue in my cab an hour later. I paid the cabby and got out of the cab, grabbing my suitcases and walking into the venue. Jack was talking to Zack and Rian by the front gate. Zack saw me and nudged Jack, who turned around and ran to me. I dropped my suitcase and gave my brother a tight hug.
"I've missed you Cali!" Jack…I hate to say it, but squealed. My brother squealed. I felt myself blush and pull away from him.
"I've missed you too Jack," I laughed, hugging Zack. "And I've missed Zack, and Rian." I giggled, pulling away from Zack and hugging Rian.
"I want you to meet Alex!" Jack screamed, pulling me away from Rian and dragging me to their tent. A brunette was sitting in a seat, talking on the phone. His hair was oddly placed, but he was no doubt, the hottest guy I had ever met. He was screaming into the phone, obviously arguing with a girlfriend. I laughed and sat down next to my brother.
Alex looked up and smiled, before hanging up the phone.
"Who's this?" Alex asked, throwing his phone on the table. I blushed and smiled.
"Alex, this is my sister, Cali." Jack smiled, slinging an arm around my shoulders. Alex's eyes widened and he smirked.
"She's a lot hotter than you described her Jack. But anyways, hey Cali, I'm Alex." Alex smiled, holding out his hand. I took it and shook it. Jack stood up and smiled.
"LET'S GO PARTY!" He screamed. Everyone laughed, but agreed. My first night on Warped would be spent partying…I think I can live with this. We went to a club not too far away, I had been there a few times with my friends, but I would never tell Jack that.
"CALI!" I heard the bouncer cheer as we walked up. Jack turned around a looked at me questioningly.
"Hey Jimbo, do me a favor, pretend like you don't know me." I whispered, so only Jimbo could hear. He nodded his head and opened the door, letting us into the club.
"What was that about?" Jack asked.
"I know him, from work. He works at Roberto's too." I lied, walking over to the bar. I sat down on a barstool as we all started taking shots, and betting on who could drink the most. I noticed Alex kept checking his phone. I wondered what was going on.
After everyone was done drinking, and Jack had obviously won the bets, we went back to the bus. Everyone got on except Alex who was muttering something about returning a phone call. I stood by the bus and waited for him to finish.
"I'm sorry! We were at a club; I didn't hear the phone ring!" Alex yelled. I sat down on the ground and watched him pace back and forth. "No! I'm not cheating, the only girl around is Jack's sister!" He paused. "No Lisa, I'm not going to do anything with her!" He yelled, flipping off the phone. "Fine…goodnight. I love…" Then he closed the phone.
"You wanna talk about it?" I asked as he sat down beside me. He nodded.
"Please, help me. I don't know what to say to her. Tour just started and she already thinks I'm cheating. Every time we talk she yells, these games are getting old." He sighed, laying his head on my shoulder.
"Well, maybe she should come on tour with us, so she knows that you aren't." I shrugged. He shook his head.
"We already tried; she has work and can't come. Thank god." He sighed, looking at me and smiling.
"Then, maybe she isn't good enough for you. You need someone who can trust you to stay true to them. From what I've seen, you don't look at other girls like you want to be with them. You see them as normal human beings, as everyone else. Maybe she just needs some chill pills." I laughed, getting a chuckle from Alex.
"I think she needs some of those too." He smiled, lifting his head off of my shoulder and looking me over. "You're an okay kid, Cali."
"You're an okay kid too, Alex." I smirked, standing up. Alex stood up beside me and gave me a hug.
"Thanks, I have a feeling we're gonna be really good friends." Alex smiled, kissing my cheek. He typed the code into the keypad and the bus door opened, we walked in and saw that everyone else was sleeping.
We both got ready for bed and Alex gave me one more hug before saying goodnight and getting into his bunk. I smiled and climbed into my bunk, Alex's kiss still lingering on my cheek.
"I have a feeling we're gonna be really good friends." The words echoed in my head as I drifted off to sleep. But I agreed with Alex, we were definitely going to be good friends.
BOOOOOM. I made an even better new story; I didn't like Kendra's that much. :) I really really like this one though, so I will update this one a lot. I hope you guys like it too, it would be a shame if you didn't :(. R&R. I love everyone who reads this :D - Love Olive.
