One for the Road

GUYSSSS OMG I HIT 11k THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍 I seriously can't thank you guys enough, I never thought this story would get this far! YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY!!!!

*morning* Jenna POV

I woke up alone in Alex's bed. I was only wearing his pajama shirt and underwear. Usually, I would be greeted by a kiss in the morning, but I guess Alex was up already. I went in the bathroom and freshened up a bit. After all, I didn't want to scare him away with my dreadful morning look.

As I descended down the stairs, I heard two low voices talking. I recognized one to be Alex's and the other one was either Matt's or Jamie's voice. I reached the bottom to see Matt and Alex talking in the kitchen. Alex was preparing breakfast and Matt was eating an apple.

"Morning Helders."

Matt and Alex turned around to see me after I finally spoke. Alex smiled at me and Matt ran up to me and gave me a hug. "Long time no see Colvert! How are you doing love?"

I couldn't help but giggle at Matt and his cuteness.

"I'm doing good Matt! How's Bree? How are you?!" Matt put his arm over my shoulder and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"We're doing good, we just celebrated our 2 year anniversary last week!"

"Aww Matt! I'm so happy for you! You two are adorable."

"Thanks Jen! Actually, I'm here cause Alex and I wanted to tell you some fun news."

I turned towards Al and gave him a questioning look, to which he only shrugged and smirked at.

"Matt?"

"Right, we're planning on going to the Alps for a ski trip with all us monkeys and our birds. Plus Miles of course."

I couldn't believe it.. the Alps?! That's an extremely expensive trip, which I couldn't help but feel bad about. I've always lived modestly, and most of the time, Alex did too.

"the Alps? In france?? Oh my gosh, that's crazy expensive! Alex?!"

Alex walked over to Matt and I from the kitchen.

"Jen, it's fine. We wanna treat you girls before our long AM tour kicks off, it's going to be hectic. And it's not like we're fuckin' poor! We never do anything extravagant, and we're gonna make a shit ton of money from the tour."

He was right... And I guess it's a good idea since we haven't been on vacation this year.

"Yeah Jenna, it'll be fun. Breana's so excited to spend time with you and Katie and Kelly!"

"Alright, I'd be insane to turn down a trip to the Alps!"

Alex and Matt laughed, and Al gave me a peck on the lips.

" Right, I've gotta get going now guys. I told Bree I'd run some errands while she's at her photoshoot. I'll let you guys get back to your naughty deeds."

Of course, Alex laughed while I just looked down and blushed.

"It's alright mate, we did that last night. Say hi to Breana!"

"Haha alright Al, see ya two soon."

And with that, Matt left and I shut the door. I was so busy talking to Matt that I hadn't even noticed the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen.

"Alex... Did you... Cook? Correctly?!!"

Alex looked down at the floor and rubbed his neck, while he smirked.

"Well, I cooked. Dunno if it's correct love."

"Ah don't worry. I'm sure it's fine. Oh and by the way?"

"Yeah?"

"Your morning voice is sexy as fuck Alex." The second I said that, alex presses his lips onto mine and FINALLY gave me my much desired morning kiss.

"Mm baby.." The kisses got more passionate and I could feel Alex getting excited. Literally.

"Right Al, how about that brekkie?"

"Can it wait darlin? Kinda in the middle of something right how, aren't we?"

"Save it for tonight Al. I have to go to work right after breakfast."

"Work on a Sunday? That's a first."

" Denise found a new band that she thinks is very talented, so I've set up a recording session with James so he can tell me what he thinks. If they're good, I'll convince my boss to sign them."

"You're so hot when you talk business."
Of course, he kissed me again and finally set up the table and the food. I dug in right away, I was starving. He had prepared pancakes with fresh berries and juice, along with maple syrup.

"Al, these are delicious. Good job babe."

"Fanks arlin.." I could barely make out what he was saying since his mouth was stuffed with pancakes.

"Al, when is this ski trip set for?"

"Umm... So it's a bit last minute. But we are going the day after tomorrow."

"WHAT? Alex I can't! My big interview is on Tuesday, John is thinking about promoting me to A&R! I can't skip, I've been working up to this position my whole life. I can't go."

Alex suddenly looked frustrated.

"Jenna, we can't do it any fucking later! We don't have time!"

"Why not? Your album is finished, your tour isn't for another three months or so!"

After seeing his guilty face, it hit me. The tour was going to be much sooner.

"It's... Soon? Really soon?"

"Jenna I'm sorry, we are leaving on the 21st. Of September. So in a week and a half. "

I couldn't believe it. He never told me even though he had so many chances to. I couldn't take him at that moment, so I left the table.

"Jenna, don't be like this! It's not my fault, calm down."

"Not your fault?? Yes, it actually is! You've had so many fucking opportunities to tell me, but you didn't! And you're telling me to 'be calm'?! You're going to be gone for five months!"

I couldn't even look at him right now, I ran into his room and locked myself in. I chose out an outfit from the little selection I had, since the majority of my clothes were at my own house. Quickly doing my hair and makeup, I was ready to go meet my clients. Fuck Alex. I quickly walked out of the room and tried to leave the house without making any contact with Alex. But I wasn't fast enough.

"Jenna! I'm sorry, babe, I'm so sorry. I meant to tell you but there never was a good time."

"Well, telling me a week before you leave isn't much better either."

"Babe, I'm sorry."
He tried touching my shoulder, but I shrugged him off.

"When are you coming home?"

"Whenever I'm done." And with that, I slammed the door and left.
