Caution (Alex Gaskarth) *SLOW UPDATES*

3

As the week passed I probably got the most sleep I've ever had in a weeks time. Now to the studio and believe it or not, I'm ready to get back. 

"Ray!" I shout as I enter the room. The chair spins around and his hands fly up. 

"LOGAN!" He says standing to hug me. 

"How's my favorite star?" He asks. I shrug. 

"Life." I say with a smile. He nods and pats my shoulder. 

"You know what fixes life? Music. Lets write." He says. I nod violently and follow him to the table. I look to the pad of paper in front of me. Ray and I have a...unique way of writing. We literally write and think of nothing else. 

"So this time. I would like to add a little something to our process. Is there anyone you can see yourself collaborating with in the near future?" He asks me. I take a moment and think...

"Not now actually lets just talk. That's how you always seem to have song ideas come in." He says leaning back in his chair. I smile and lean back as well. 

"Hadlee and Grant are organizing me a support tour and then when that is finished I will have my own tour again. Which I'm excited for." I say smiling. 

"Do you know who you're supporting?" Ray asks. I shake my head. 

"Hadlee and Grant always do that stuff. I would end up regretting my decision." I say with a laugh. 

"Well I think you might be surprised what you regret." Ray says softly. I look at him for a moment. 

"BRENDON URIE! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!" I say loudly.  Ray laughs. 

"Little off topic but alright. Obviously that's something very easy to make happen." He says again. I smile. 

"I think that's the best I can get." I say. Ray looks at me for a moment before going on. 

"Alright. I can talk to brendon tomorrow and arrange it. As for-" He is cut off by my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I say rather irritated because I told Hadlee that I was in the studio today and not to call. 

"Sorry to bother you Logan, but we have your support tour set and you need to get down her to settle on the finer details." She says softly. I hear her sigh. 

"Alright. Give me 20 minutes." I say and hang up. 

"I'm sorry Ray. When are you free again?" I ask. He stands and walks with me to the doors of the building. 

"I can make time for you dear. Just let me know." He says opening the door for me. I smile and hug him. 

"Have fun dear." He says as I walk down the steps. Making my way to my car I turn around and see Ray on the steps on the phone. I turn and get in the car and start my drive to work out the final details of my tour. 

This elevator ride always seems to take forever on these occasions. I tap my foot until the ring occurs and the doors open. I take a step out of the door and I'm met by Hadlee. 

"Hey Logan! Um, come in." She says softly. I nod skeptically and follow her in the doors. Grant sits with his hands intertwined and his chin rests on them. 

"Hello Logan. How are you today?" He asks softly. I sit and nod. 

"Fine...What is going on?" I ask with a slight eyebrow raise. 

"We called back and set your tour. But I don't think you are going to be very happy with us..." Grant says. I straighten in my seat. 

"Who am I touring with?" I ask sternly. Grant looks at Hadlee who then looks to the floor. 

"Grant I can't do this I'm sorry." Hadlee says rushing out the door. I turn quickly and see the door falling shut. I slowly turn to Grant and look at him.

"What the hell is going on Grant?" I ask becoming angrier by the second. 

"We have a lunch date set with the group and we figured that you should figure it out for yourself." He says quietly. I snatch the card from his hand and storm from the room not even thinking to care that I heard him yell an apology. I stand fuming in the elevator and once the doors open I run to my car and peel out of the lot. 

"What the fuck did they do?" I mutter to myself as I pull into the lot of the Restaurant. I open the car door quickly and slam it shut in half the time. I reach the door and the man looks at me. 

"Logan Harper. I must have a reservation party." I say. The man nods and flips the paper over and nods again.

"Right this way." He says. I follow him through the front hall and down a short hall to a large dinning room. He opens the door and I step through. I look around for a familiar face. Then I spot one. 

"Alright I can take it from here." I say with a smile. The young man nods and closes the door behind me. 

"Jack!" I say as I walk up beside him. He whips around and his face goes as white as his eyes are wide. 

"Oh um, uh..." He stutters. I look at him with scrunched eyebrows. Out of the corner of my eye I see Zack.

"Hey Logan, we need to talk." He says. Zack and Jack turn to the table and pull out a chair for me. 

"Thank you guys. Now whats up-" I was about to finish my sentence when I notice Rian is also there. Rian is never with them. Something isn't right.

"Rian?" I ask.

"Hi Logan. It's good to see you again." He says with a smile. I nod. 

"Yea...you... too what is this about guys? I'm supposed to meet with the people I'm- No..." I say as realization sets in. 

Hadlee couldn't do it because she knew I would flip. Grant couldn't tell me because he knew I would pick up the phone and cancel. They pushed me to let them pick so I wouldn't bluntly say 'HELL FUCKING NO'" Jack, Rian and Zack knew too. Jack told me I was going to have to be able to keep myself out of situations right in front of me. How did I not see this?

"I wish they would've told you." Jack says with a frown. I sit back in my seat.

"Logan, are you alright?" Rian asks. I look to the floor. 

"Yea...i uh... i'm fine." I say softly. Zack sighs. 

"This really will be an amazing tour. Trust me." He adds. I nod and rise from my seat. 

"It was nice to see you guys again...i need to go." I say quickly and I rush from the room. 

I have to be face to face with Alex again.

For almost 2 full months.

"Logan!" Zack yells from behind me. I stop but I don't turn around. 

"I figured you should know that...uh...we have some extra shows. So instead of 2 months it would actually be 4." He yells. I feel like vomiting. 

I get in my car and speed out. I drive.
