Anna POV
I looked to the lock and saw it was open.
Shit.
I saw in slow motion as the door handle turned and the door opened, revealing a worried looking Alex.
"Anna what's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked, crossing the room.
Zack let go of me and I went straight in to Alex's arms. Zack left, but before he did whispered to Alex.
"Don't ask, just comfort her."
I closed my eyes, wishing the tears to stop. I felt the soft cotton of the hoodie Alex was wearing and smelt it. It smelt just like Alex; perfect. I could feel him gently stroking my hair and smelling it.
"I love you," he whispered to me.
"I love you too," I managed to choke out.
"Shh, I know," he replied.
~x~
After Alex held me for a while and the tears stopped, we headed downstairs hand in hand.
Just as we were about to enter the living room and see the guys again, Alex gently pulled me to the side.
"I don't know what happened before and I won't ask, but know that I love you and will never let you fall," he breathed, then kissed me passionately.
As we walked into the living room the boys were sitting on the sofa; Jack and Zack playing COD and Rian watching. Rian adverted my gaze and I knew he felt bad.
"Finally! She's alive!" called Jack sarcastically.
"Haha, so funny Jack," I replied, ruffling his hair as I walked past him.
"Seriously though, what are we gonna do today? I can't be bothered to go out anymore," whined Jack.
"Me neither," groaned Alex, as he sat down on the recliner and I sat on his lap.
"Let's have a lazy day," I suggested.
"I'm down!" agreed Jack.
"Me too!" said Alex.
Zack and Rian looked at each other then blurted out:
"Me three, I said it first!" at the same time.
I shook my head and laughed.
~x~
For the rest of the day me and the guys played more COD, ate, went downstairs in to the basement and did band practice while I watched and then rounded off the day by watching Home Alone.
Jack was ecstatic.
Currently I was sitting on the floor leaning against my bed listening to my iPod whilst Alex took a shower.
Paramore's Brick By Boring Brick came on and I started to sing along.
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep holeTo bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ba
I heard the door open and close, and then someone lie on the bed. They soon started to sing along and I could tell it was Jack.
So one day he found her cryingCoiled up on the dirty groundHer prince finally came to save herAnd the rest you can figure outBut it was a trickAnd the clock struck 12Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brickor the wolves gonna blow it down
The door opened and closed again and I turned and saw Rian come in, smile sheepishly ,then sit down on the floor by my bed. By now all three of us were singing along to Paramore.
Keep your feet on the groundWhen your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
I started to get a numb bum, so I got up and sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard, next to Jack. At the same time Zack came in and sat down and joined us singing. I pulled out my headphones so we could all hear the music.
Well you built up a world of magicBecause your real life is tragicYeah you built up a world of magic
Finally Alex came in from his shower, wearing only grey jogging bottoms. Damn did he look sexy. I could feel myself blush as I continued to sing. He jokingly frowned at us then shook his head, then came and sat with me on the bed and sang along too.
Well, if it's not real
You can't hold it in your hands
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
This reminded me of Glee or worse...High School Musical, but I didn't care. I was happy and enjoying myself. I loved it.
Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ba Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba
After we chanted the ending, Jack started whooping and clapping.
"Dude, we're awesome!" he hollered.
"Man that was like fucking High School Musical," laughed Rian.
"But I know you loved it," I smirked at him.
"Guilty," he mumbled jokingly.
We all laughed.
"Again again!" called Jack as he clapped like a five year old.
"No let's not," said Alex as he took my iPod off me and started to scroll through the songs. "Let me pick a song babe."
Jack looked like a baby about to cry, and I plugged my earplugs back in to my iPod and put one bud in so I could still hear what was going on.
"Oh and our producer called and said yeah, you can come with us on tour Anna," announced Zack, smiling.
The other boys cheered and Alex kissed my cheek, whilst I grinned like an idiot.
I knew this tour was going to be fun, but I also knew that Zack and Rian were going to be watching me like hawks.
Bullet For My Valentine, Tears Don't Fall started playing and the sudden guitars made me jump. I looked at Alex and he was engrossed in my iPod.
"Anna, why do you have half naked pictures of Christofer Drew Ingle on your iPod?" he questioned me.
"Because he's f.i.t," I replied spelling out 'fit' for emphasis.
"Ooooh you got burned!" said Jack, pointing at Alex.
"But your fitter," I added before kissing Alex's cheek right near his lips. He turned his head and pouted at me. I kissed him full on the lips this time.
Zack coughed loudly which surprisingly sounded like 'break it up'.
I pulled away and rolled my eyes, and Alex winked then turned back to my iPod.
I took the opportunity to whisper in his ear,
"Babe your always fit, but you look really fit in those sweatpants and that top,"
He smiled and looked at his grey sweatpants and then frowned.
"But I'm not wearing a top," he whispered back to me.
"Exactly."
