Hey! Sorry that I didn't update yesterday.. I had a busy day, but here's Chapter 7 a pretty long one, and Chapter 8 will be up tomorrow in the evening.
Enjoy,
After Matt and I said our goodbyes we walked to the car and he said bye to Chelsea even though they didn't get along that well, Chelsea wished him good luck. I tried giving him back a necklace he had given me when we started dating but he told me to keep it as a memory. I hugged Matt for the last time and got into the car with Chelsea.
And told her everything Matt and I had talked about. I was going to miss Matt, even though we were only together for a short time, we were better off as friends anyway we got along like brother and sister and I liked it like that better.
He was awesome and fun but he had big dreams to follow. He wanted to be in a band and he had an audition in New York, he told me he made it and that's why he and his parents were moving, to get his career started. I was always going to support him after everything.
But I think now I was falling for someone else.
"I'm happy you guys ended things good" Chelsea said.
"Yeah me too" I said smiling.
"Now you and Alex can get to know each other more since you're both single" she said
"Now we're going to eat somewhere I'm hungry" I said trying to avoid the subject
"Why don't you just admit you like him?"
"Fine! I kinda like him, you happy now?" I said
"Yes!" she said smiling "can I tell him?"
"No!"
"Okay fine, but you better tell him soon, and tomorrow we're filming part of the music video don't forget" she said.
With everything going on, I had completely forgotten that tomorrow we started recording for the Music video, then we had 2 more days of recording for the whole video.
We got to a little restaurant and chose to get a table outside since it was pretty cool and nice. We ordered our meal. Talked about the whole Matt situation and then about Jack.
"So how are things with Jack?" I said taking a sip of water from the glass cup.
"Great actually he's really cool, but he hasn't asked me officially if I want to be his girlfriend, I mean we do act like a couple but I just..." she trailed off
"Dude I get it, maybe he's just shy and is waiting for the right moment, he might seem all crazy and stuff but I think he actually has a sentimental shy side"
"Well I hope you're right cause I'm falling for him... fast" she said
"Awww, I can't wait to see you guys officially together.. I shall write a song about you two in my journal" I laughed a little
"You're still writing in that thing? You have like 80 songs in there written about what?"
"Of course I love writing songs and poetry it helps me express myself and write out my emotions, I love and yeah I write about things that happen to me."
"Cool, you should show me the songs one day" she said.
"Umm, I've never showed it to anyone actually, but sure maybe someday"
"Alright fine, I get it it's kind of like a diary don't worry" she smiled, I nodded and our food came, we ate and talked some more about Jack, Alex, Rian and Zack.
When we got home Chelsea got a text from Jack.
"Alex wants your number" She said. We were watching TV in the living room couch.
"Give it to him" I said. Trying not to seem happy so Chelsea could rub it in my face.
"Alright" she typed into her phone my number. She was smiling
"It's just a phone number" I said
"Yeah but you know you want him to text you" she said smiling, I blushed and my phone beeped.
"Well there it is" I said getting my phone and opening the text.
From: (random number)
Hey it's Alex
I answered.
To: Alex
From: Jade
Oh hey, what's up?
After some small talk we started texting about more important things like what we wanted to do in the future, I told him about my acting and how I write a lot. I was surprised to hear that he likes writing too and he writes all the songs for the band. We were texting the whole night, by the time I fell asleep I felt like I knew everything about him from his favorite food to his parent's names. And he knew everything about me, from my favorite song to why Chelsea lives with me.
Of course I didn't tell him about her winning the lottery because I felt that wasn't my place to say. I really enjoyed talking to Alex and I thought about what Matt had told me today in the morning
"I knew from the first time that I saw you with Alex that you two would end up together. You guys have something, you get along really good. I can tell." How could Matt being my boyfriend at the time realize something like that? It seemed unreal and weird to me but he was right about one part: we do get along really good. I feel like I can talk to him about anything.
I even told him about Matt moving away and not telling me anything I also told him that Matt moved to get his career started, Alex told me he would never do that and leave behind a girl he loved. That was really nice to hear from him.
The next day I woke up early in the morning because call time for the music video was at 8 o'clock. I took a shower, got ready and put sweats on since they were going to provide us with wardrobe, make up, and hair stylists so me and Chelsea looked pretty natural and we headed over to the studio.
When we got there, there was a bunch of extras on one side of the studio getting dressed and on the other side stood the guys from All Time Low. We walked over to them.
I hugged all of them one by one.
"You ready for today?" Alex asked me.
"Hell yeah" I said smiling.
"Hi, I'm Monica and I'm the assistant for Wardrobe and makeup" A woman in about her 40's said to me and Chelsea.
"Hi" we both said shaking her hand; she seemed like a really sweet lady. We said bye to the guys and she took us over to the girl's dressing room.
There were girls everywhere they were all getting their hair and makeup done. We each took a seat at the hair and makeup chairs and they began to transform us.
When they were done, we got into little black dresses and heels, they even gave us jewelry we looked really nice and like 'hustlers' I'm guessing, all the girls were wearing normal pink lipstick, but Chelsea and I were the only one's wearing cherry red.
Of course, we had been listening to the song a lot lately to get a feel for the music video and in the beginning of the song the lyrics are:
Lipstick has a way of leaving more than just a mark on my sheets
Coloring my senses cherry red at least for this week.
We walked out on set and there was a group of people all in black standing behind the guy's instruments. The guys were wearing black and white suits; they looked like real rock stars. Alex was standing in the middle holding his guitar, Jack to the right of Alex holding his guitar, then on the other side was Zack and then Rian on the drums behind them.
"Everyone take your places!" The director yelled into a megaphone. Chelsea and I stood with all the people wearing black behind the guys.
"Ok, now everyone when the music begins just stand there looking around until I yell cut" The director yelled again. "ACTION!" he said. The music started and Alex started singing me and Chelsea looked at each other and stood there looking at the band like the director had told us to do.
"CUT!" he yelled right before getting to the chorus of the song.
"Now I want those two girls with the red lipstick to come up and walk around the guys and touching them on the arm and shoulders!" he yelled again.
Chelsea and I walked over to the guys, I stood in between Alex and Zack and Chelsea stood in between Jack and Alex.
"ACTION!" the director yelled, the music started from the beginning again and we walked around them slowly not really knowing what to do. "Jade! Touch Alex's chest slowly" he yelled as the music kept playing. I don't know how the director knew my name but I just did what he told me and tried not to make things awkward.
Alex smiled and kept singing into the mic. Chelsea did the same but to Jack. As we continued to do this, I got the hang of it and let the actress come out of me, I flirted and touched Alex's arms and looked at him as he sang, it probably looked really stupid but it's what the director had told us to do.
And truth is I enjoyed flirting and being able to touch Alex without making it weird because normally I wouldn't do this to him, so my excuse was 'It's an act'. The people behind them were just standing there looking and dancing along with the music.
After shooting a couple of other scenes in the bathroom putting makeup on and just looking into the camera, we were done with the shoot for today. We headed back into the dressing rooms. All the extra girls had already left. Monica walked in.
"Hey you girls did great! I loved the chemistry you guys had with Jack and Alex, as if you guys actually knew them" she said.
"Yeah we had a lot of fun" I said smiling
"We do know them" Chelsea said.
"Oh that's great, I know them too, I work with them choosing their wardrobe for performances and appreances" she said.
"That's awesome" I said. "Whenever you girls need anything don't be afraid to ask me" Monica said.
"Thanks a lot, you're really nice" Chelsea said.
"No problem girls" she said and walked out of the dressing room.
"She's really cool" I said. Chelsea and I were back into our sweats and converse but we still had our hair and makeup done. We walked out of the dressing room and saw the guys talking in the hallway.
"Hey" Jack said and kissed Chelsea, she kissed back and we all pretended like we were puking.
"Get a room!" Rian said and we all laughed, Alex looked at me and I smiled at him. He looked so cute and I couldn't resist wanting to kiss him but I controlled myself.
"We should all go out to eat and celebrate" Alex said putting his arm around me.
"Yeah sure!" I said, I was kind of nervous when Alex put his arm around me but I didn't mind. We all got our things and headed to the nearest restaurant around the block.
Things with Alex and I were pretty awkward because now I didn't have a boyfriend and we had been flirting a lot while texting but in person it was weird. We sat next to each other at the table in the restaurant and talked until Jack asked the question I had been trying to avoid since I first met Alex.
Tell me what you think of this chapter, what do you think will happen with them? Please Review and next chapter is coming soon.
Love, J
