Zack's POV
(After Band Practice)
I collapsed onto Rebecca's sofa with an aching back.
"Zack if you didn't want to give me a piggy back home, you should have said," Rebecca said sitting next to me.
"Zack's thinks of himself as a gentleman," Rian said sitting on the floor.
"He would never deny the request of a lady," Jack said sitting on Rian's lap.
Rebecca giggled and smiled at me.
Alex then came in and sat next to Rebecca.
She layed down on Alex's lap.
He then started stroking her head.
"Tired are we Becks?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, I've been looking after a drunk teenager" she mumbled.
"Aww, that's why I love you so much Becks," he said.
"I love you too Alex," she mumbled.
"Ha! So you two are going out!" Jack shouted.
"She's like a sister to me Jack, nothing else," Alex said.
Rebecca's POV
After a while of chatting I suddenly heard the front door open.
Uh-oh.
"Brace yourselves guys, I think that's mum," I mumbled.
My mum then walked in.
"Hello Be-, oh and Alex and who are these boys," my mum said.
My mum has a problem with Alex cause he gets drunk all the time.
"Hey mum, these are Alex's friends, Jack, Rian and Zack," I mumbled.
The guys said hello and waved.
"mmm...I'll talk to you later Rebecca," she said walking out the room.
"Okay, I think that we should go to my room," I said.
Alex nodded as I stood up.
"Race you up the stairs Alex," Jack said running out the room.
Alex then ran after him.
I then walked up to my room.
I then found Alex and Jack wrestling on my bed.
"I won!" Jack shouted.
"No! I was here first!" Alex shouted.
"Hey! My house! I say it was a draw! I shouted.
Jack and Alex looked at each other.
Jack then picked up my acoustic guitar.
"Hey! Be careful with that!" I shouted.
"You play?" Jack asked.
"No, I just keep it in my room for fun," I said sarcastically.
Jack handed me my guitar.
"Give us a tune Becks," Alex said.
"No Alex, you know I have stage fright," I said.
"Well technically you're not on a stage," Rian said.
"Haha, very funny," I said.
"Come on Rebecca, just one song, please?" Jack pleaded.
I sighed.
"I'm so gonna regret this," I mumbled.
I sat on the bed, put my guitar around my neck and took a deep breath.
"This song is called Figure it Out by VersaEmerge, please feel free not to enjoy it," I said.
I started strumming my guitar.
With a swerve, my eyes are blurred
My mouth somehow forgets to work
So I stare until you shout
Wondering why you can't figure me out
With a change, I call the names
I'm spitting out words, hoping it works
Still I stare while they all shout
Why can't I even figure it out?
The time I'm wasting
Can't say where I've been
Catching my same old way
Slowly spin beneath the day
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
Nothing's what it's ever meant to be
With my fate, my thoughts erase
My head's a blur, the picture fades
My eyes, they keep on shutting down
I can't see why you won't figure me out
The time I'm wasting
Can't say where I've been
Catching my same old way
Slowly spin beneath the day
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
Nothing's what it's ever meant to be
With a twist
My mind has missed
You said
But I forget
The time I'm wasting
Can't say where I've been
Catching my same old way
Slowly spin beneath the day
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
Nothing's what it's ever meant to be
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
No one's who they're ever meant to be
I took off my guitar and collapsed on the bed.
"Oh my god!" I heard Rian say.
"She has a voice of an angel!" Zack exclaimed.
I sat up and looked at him.
"Are you thinking straight?" I asked Zack.
He shrugged.
Alex stood up and smiled.
"Well I was thinking straight and you were amazing," he said hugging me.
"Thanks Alex, but you'd say that anyway," I said.
He laughed and messed up my hair.
"Okay who wants to play on the nintendo wii?" I asked.
Everyone started cheering.
"Okay we'll play Mario Kart and I'm getting the inflatable car," I said.
"What inflatable car?" Jack asked.
I opened my closet and pulled the inflatable car out.
"THAT IS SO COOL!" Jack exclaimed.
"I'll get you one for your birthday if you're lucky," I said.
"Thank you!" Jack exclaimed.
XXXXXXXXXX
"And she wins again!" I shouted.
"No way! This is so embarassing losing to a girl!" Zack shouted.
"Every guy in this room lost to me so don't feel too bad," I said.
My mum walked in the room.
"Okay guys, time to go," she said.
The guys then said their goodbyes and left the room.
"Brilliant, it's bad enough that you're friends with Alex, he's a bad influence!" she shouted.
"He is not a bad influence! I had no friends before I met Alex, you can see how different I am compared to all those years ago! There is nothing wrong with the guys!" I shouted.
"Also! You bought them in the house without permisson!" she shouted.
"Mom! I'm almost an adult! Please respect that!" I shouted.
I grabbed my bag and ran out the room and out the house.
