"Alex, come on. It's time to go." Rian said into my ear and I pushed him away.
"Not yet." I said before licking my lips and looking out in the crowded living room at the party we were at.
Rian was my best friend and my band mate in our band All Time Low. We lived together and were super close. Rian and I had arrived at the party almost two hours ago and it was nearing two am. Rian wanted to go home and wanted to take me with him but I didn't want to leave….not yet at least.
"Come on Alex, you don't want to do this. What about Annie?"
I frowned at my girlfriend's name. She was the reason I was actually here. We had gotten into a fight earlier so I wanted to come to a party, get drunk and blow off some steam. Rian had reluctantly agreed, saying he was only coming to keep me out of trouble. I wished Jack, our fellow band member and my other best friend had come, he would have gotten drunk with me and would help me pick out hot girls but unfortunately he was away with his family before we went on tour for the summer.
Rian grabbed my arm and tried in vain to tug me towards the door. "Let go Ri, [i] I wanna have fun [/i]."
"Alex, this isn't fun. You don't want to do this. You love Annie."
"She's a bitch." I said before tugging my arm from his hand.
"Alex you're gonna regret this."
"No, I won't." I said as I suddenly darted between two people and slipped under the arm of a third.
I weaved in and out of people quickly loosing Rian and then straitening back up to look around the room. I smiled when I saw Lindsey, the girl I had been hooking up with on and off since high school. I slipped between the two people separating us and came up behind her. I moved her hair off her neck before placing a soft kiss there.
"Hey baby."
"Alexander Gaskarth." she said and I could hear the smile in her voice.
"How did you know?"
"I would know that voice anywhere."
She turned and smiled at me, "That's good. You wanna get out of here?"
"Actually I can't Alex, I have a boyfriend now."
My eyebrows furrowed together and she gave me a sympathetic look. "Sorry babe, better luck next time." she said before walking off and leaving me alone.
I sighed and looked around for a slutty looking girl that wouldn't be hard to coax back to my house and into my bed. I finally spotted a girl who was dancing alone and quickly made a beeline to her. I pushed over a couple people but I didn't care, I had one thing on my mind, that wonderful ass that she was currently shaking.
"Hey there beautiful." I purred as I came up behind her.
She turned quickly and raised a single eyebrow. "Who are you?"
"I'm Alex Gaskarth." I said while holding out my hand and giving her a large grin.
"Lucy Jackson." she said returning my smile and shaking my hand.
"Wanna dance?" I asked and she nodded, taking my hand and leading me out to the middle of the dance floor.
Instantly her body was against mine, rubbing in all the right places and moving perfectly in time with mine. Lucy turned and pushed her long black hair from her face before pulling me closer to her by my shirt.
"You're hot." she whispered into my ear before she began to bite, kiss and suck at my neck.
I pulled her closer to me, put one hand on the small of her back and the other on her ass. I squeezed her butt and I heard her giggle before we started to make out.
I was just about to tug her up the stairs when I heard my name screeched. I turned and saw my girlfriend standing about five feet away, her face bright red.
"I think I have to go, I'll call you?" I said before quickly ducking down and pushing through people.
"Alexander Gaskarth! Don't you dare think about running!" she screamed and I gulped.
"Fuck. Rian! Rian! We need to get out of here!" I shouted while standing up and looking around for Rian.
I spotted him across the room and I groaned. Annie was coming from that direction and I would somehow need to get around her to get to him. I looked around and then I saw a way out.
I jumped on the couch that was beside me, stood on the arm and then dove off into the people. When I hit the ground I rolled and then instead of standing up fully I laid down against the ground and began to crawl. I heard Annie screeching my name and I was gonna make sure she didn't find me. Finally I reached the familiar legs and shoes and I stood up.
"Rian, we gotta get the fuck out of here." I said and he nodded.
"I've been looking for you dumbass." he said while grabbing my upper arm and dragging me out of the party.
"How the fuck did she know where I was?"
"Well let's see, you two fight and you instantly go party. This party is only three blocks over from our house you idiot."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh." Rian said as he dragged me towards the car.
"I can walk you know."
"I don't trust you, I'll let go and you'll disappear again."
"Rian!"
"No Alex, shut up." Rian said as we reached the car and he let me go slowly.
I groaned and got into the passenger's side before putting the seat back a little. "Why do I have shit luck?"
"Cause you're an ass."
"How am I an ass?"
"You cheat on Annie….all the time."
"It's not cheating."
"Then what is it?"
"Getting out the frustration I receive from our relationship."
"Alex, you're my best friend and I'm only saying this because I love you but you are the biggest asshole ever."
"How does that show me you love me again?"
"Look, I save your ass all the time. I'm tired of getting you out of trouble and lying for you. If you don't want to be with her then DON'T BE WITH HER!"
"Ey, no need to yell." I said while massaging my head.
"You are impossible." Rian said before starting his car and driving towards our house.
The next morning I woke up to a horrible hangover, banging at my front door and my dogs barking. I knew who it was and I rolled over onto my stomach before pulling my pillow over my head. I didn't want to deal with Annie right now and she could wait.
"Alex! Go answer the door!" Rian shouted suddenly walking into my room and I groaned.
"Don't feel like it."
"Well I feel like sleeping and I can't sleep with all the noise."
"Put a pillow over your head." I offered.
"Alex, I'm serious. Go talk to her."
"She's gonna kick me in the nuts."
"Wear a cup."
"Smart ass." I muttered as I climbed out of bed slowly.
"Whatever Alex, I don't care what you do. Just make the fucking noise stop." Rian said as he rubbed at his eye before walking out of my room.
I flicked my brown and blonde streaked hair from my eyes and walked out of my room, down the stairs and to the front door. I pushed aside my dogs with my foot gently before unlocking the door and cracking it slightly.
"Hey Annie, this is a bad time." I said while looking down at the small blonde hair woman.
"Bad time? You better fucking let me in you asshole." she said, her face getting really red.
"Actually I was wondering-" I started but she pushed the door open before I could even finish. "Alright, never mind I guess."
"You're lucky I don't kick you in the nuts!" she shouted and instantly my two dogs Baz and Peyton started barking.
"Can you not yell? The dogs and Rian is upstairs sleeping."
"You are so lucky I respect Rian." she hissed as I turned and walked into the kitchen.
I began to prepare coffee while she stood across the island from me. Her foot tapped against the ground repeatedly and I tried to ignore her but it was really getting to me.
"Can you stop that?"
"No!"
"What did I tell you about yelling?" I asked while turning to slam my hand against the table.
"You have no right to be mad right now!"
"Annie, last night you said you hated me, so uh, yeah. I went to a party. I'm pretty sure you started it."
"I said I hated you because you're an ass Alex."
"I'm not an ass!"
"Really, what are those on your neck?"
My hands went to my neck and even though I couldn't feel them, I knew there were hickeys everywhere. I blushed and she glared at me.
"I think we need to be done."
"Okay."
"What?"
"I said okay."
"So you're not upset or mad….?"
"No actually. Maybe I'll actually be able to sleep in on a Sunday."
"You stupid asshole, I hope you rot in hell." she spat before stomping out of the kitchen.
I heard the door slam and I sighed before leaning back against the counter. I was just pouring myself freshly brewed coffee when Rian came down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"I'm getting really tired off all these early morning fights." Rian said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"You won't have to deal with them anymore."
"You broke up with her?" he asked me surprised.
"Nope, she broke up with me."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm perfectly fine. Single just in time for tour next week." I said grinning and Rian frowned.
"One day you're gonna meet someone, you're gonna truly love them and they're not gonna want to put up with your shit."
"Pfft, love is dumbasses, I'm [i]never[/i] going to fall in love."
