Chapter Six – Hey there, boy with the gay hair.

ISABELLE'S POV

So, I went to the gig with Nat, and Josh.

They looked so happy together despite the fact that they were only dating for a couple of weeks. I was jealous of them. I had it before but I lost it. I swore to myself that night that, when the opportunity comes for me to fall in love again, I will never let it go.

The band was called All Time Low. Peculiar name for a band, but hey, there's no harm in trying to listen to their songs.

So we found a place to sit, it was near the stage. I was shy to show my face –or yet shy to be there - so I just tucked myself in the corner of our booth.

As the guys came out one by one, I saw a familiar face that made my heart race like a thousand miles per hour – Alex.

"Hey guys, good evening! How are ya? We're a band named All Time Low. I'm Alex…this first song goes out to this girl I met a couple of days ago who doesn't stop running around my mind. It's called Just A Daydream Away."

Was he talking about me? Nah, maybe it was some other girl.

As he was singing the song, my heart was continuously skipping beats. I thought I was gonna have Cardiac Arrest. I think it was because how his voice melts with the song in sweet sweet harmony that my heart can't take the sweetness.

"Hey Is! Iss? Hey!" I heard Nat say.

"Wh-what? Oh sorry. I was just spaced out." I said.

"Uhuh. So, John's got us the privilege of meeting the band backstage. He and that Matt guy are friends. Wanna come later?" She asked.

"Oh. Okay. Sure." I replied.

WHAT WAS I THINKING? We're gonna meet. Formally! Oh God - Oh God - Oh God - Oh God - Oh God!

But, even though I don't want to go, there's this part of me that keeps on nagging on and on about that Alex guy. I don't know. Maybe something good's gonna happen tonight. I just hope it involves the both of us.

ALEX'S POV

"Hey Alex, we're meeting some of the 'new fans' later on. Want to come?" Zack asked me.

"Yeah, sure. I wanna see who's the girl Jack's gonna 'bring home to mum' tonight!" I replied.

"Fuck off Gaskarth. I'm going home to your place with the girl and do it on your bed." Jack jokingly said.

"Bring it on Barakat, BRING IT ON!" I laughed.

So as we were walking towards the meet-up place, I felt a tingling sensation in my head. She's back in my mind again. Holy crap. I really need to see her again. I kept on walking and daydreaming at the same time when I bumped into someone. Good timing Gaskarth, you bumped into two persons this week. I was about to say sorry when the person looked at me. It was her.

"Hi. You must be The Alex from the band All Time Low. The guy who bumped into me and spilled my coffee. Good to see you again. By the way, I'm Isabelle."

Oh God, Isabelle. Isabelle Gaskarth. Damn. Stop it. Gosh. So. Pretty.

"Hey. Nice to formally meet you. As you've said, I'm Alex from ATL. It was good seeing you too." I said.

She's here. So that means….She heard what I said during Just A Daydream Away! Oh good Lord, no.

ISABELLE'S POV

So, this is what 'love at first sight' feels. This is the feeling I can't shake off. HE'S THE ONE MAKING THAT FEELING. Sheesh.

So as we were obviously ogling at each other, Nat approached us and said "You guys know each other? 'Cause it seems that you can't get your eyes off of each other."

"Oh, Nat! Uhm, this is Alex. He's the guy who spilled my coffee the other day. Alex, this is my co-worker and best friend, Nat." I said.

"Hey Nat.I'm the coffee guy." Alex introduced himself.

"Oh hi! Nice to meet you. This Josh, my boyfriend." She answered back.

"Oh hey bro, you have good songs. Congratulations in advance, cause I'm sure the record people are gonna sign you." Josh said.

"Thanks man! You're one of our best fans yet – well, except for Izzy here." He answered.

'IZZY'. Hmm. My mum used to call me that. And I think I'm gonna like him calling me that too.

"Oh wait, uhm, Izzy, this might kind of sound awkward, but, will you go out with me sometime? I mean, you have my number, and I think I got yours. So, what do you think?" Alex asked me.

HOLYMOTHEROFPANCAKES! What should I say? Oh God. I feel so happy. Wait. Why was I happy? I don't care why! Coffee guy asked me out!

"Yes! Sure! Uhm call me." I said. Wow. Low blow Iz. Low blowwww.

"Sure. So uh, see you when I can set a free schedule." He answered.

Wow. That was fast. And embarrassing. I think I felt myself blush. Meh. He's gorgeous.

After that, I went over to Nat and I told her that I think I should go home. My night felt complete.

When I went outside, I saw a familiar face. Steven.

"Hey Is." He said.

"Oh Steven, it's you. What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well, I found out from some friends of mine that you were here. So I followed you here, basically." He said.

"Well, what do you want?" I asked again.

"You. I want you back so badly. I'm sorry Is. I'm sorry for being such a jerk to you." He said.

I kept on thinking if I should get back with him. I mean, I still love him and all. But HE broke my heart. HE dumped me. HE left me for that cheating whore Stacey.

"No." I bluntly said.

"Say what now? No? Why?" He angrily asked.

"Because I can't trust you anymore asshole! You cheated on me with that slut bag Stacey!" I said.

"Stacey's not a slut bag!" he defensively answered back.

"Then why are you defending her?" I said back.

Just then, he rushed to me and kissed me. Not the type of kiss which is loving and caring. But a kiss a rapist does to you when you don't agree on his terms.

Just when I was about to kick him in the balls, someone grabbed him for me and screamed "STAY AWAY FROM ISABELLE YOU MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE!"

I recognized the voice, it was Alex.
