all time low (2012-2013)

i'm ordering pizza

alex's pov
i'm in bed at 9am in the morning, today was off, we were done with the album and mike didnt call us for rehearsals anymore, so me and sabrina would go out on dates and sometimes sleep in.

she ended up holding onto me last night and the smell of shampoo in her hair filled my nose, it was so comforting.

i get waken up from deep sleep by my phone's ringtone, i stare at the celling internally cussing everything out, it gave me a headache.

"get that" sabrina says as she frowns in discomfort.

"okay okay you got it" i say in my morning voice, i clear my throat to answer and it's an unknown number, i usually never pick up those, but i was expecting a call from danielle and thats why i picked up.

"is this alex gaskarth?" a lady says.

"uhmm yes thats me, who are you?" i ask the lady as i get up, and sabrina opens her eyes a little to check out whats happening.

"danielle quinn is getting discharged today and she wanted you to come pick her up" the lady says.

"oh really? y- yeah sure when can i pick her up?" i ask the lady as i rub my eyes.

"you can right now if you want, shes signing her discharge papers" the nurse tells me.

"alright alright, tell her i'll be there" i tell the lady on the phone and i hang up.

"whos that?" sabrina asks as she lazily covers her cleavage with the white sheets.

"dude its the rehab center, they said i can come pick danielle up right now" i say as i put on my slippers to go to the bathroom.

"oh really can i come with you?" she asks as her eyes spark up with excitement, sitting up, still covering herself.

"if you ready fast enough" i shrug while laughing, i go to the bathroom connected to our room to freshen up and pee.

when i come out sabrina was already putting on jeans.

"you arent gonna piss?" i ask her as i walk out of the bathroom shirtless in my boxers.

"i will, i'm just saving time" she walks fast to the bathroom to piss, as i put on black skinny jeans and a tshirt.

"i'll start the carr" i yell at sabrina as i'm downstairs.

"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE" she yells back. i start the car and i wait for sabrina.

i was so anxious to see her, it has been weeks, hell; months since me, her, jack and sabrina stayed inside and had a silly sleepover with games, or double dates, its so sad it'll probably never be that way again, it doesnt look like she's forgiving him anytime soon, if even at all.

it makes me crazy, i wish things were as simple as our rental studio apartment, my mom's car and the diner we went down to whenever we were hungry, thats where our double dates peaked.

now i'm picking up my lifelong bestfriend from rehab and i dont know how a damn thing will be when she's back.

i sigh.

just then sabrina comes running through the front door as she locks it up quickly, and jumps into the passenger seat quick.

"sorry for being late" she says while breathing rapidly.

"woah woah calm down, we have time, dont worry" i rub her thighs to reassure her.

"oh okay i'm sorry" she apologizes.

"damnit dont apologize, here, lets go get coffee before we pick her up" i tell sabrina.

"thats why i love you" she smiles really big.

i love this girl more than anything in my life, she pulled me out of deep misery years ago, she stuck by my side through hell and back, and understood me when we fought and fell out, she had my back when i was a depressed teen boy and she still has my back years later as a grown man, and everyday i just love her even more.

"man, i love you" i tell her as i get goosebumps, starting my car and driving off.

"i love you so much too alex" she says as she looks at me. and she sighs.

"is danielle alright?" she asks me as she warms up her hand, it was december and christmas was just a week away, it was the first time we ever celebrated thanksgiving without danielle.

"she looks better than ever, you know? sometimes i think she needed this rehab not just for drugs but, generally, i hope any old wounds are healed now" i tell sabrina.

"i thought so too, i hope shes better, is she still refusing to speak to jack?" sabrina asks me.

"well, she's cold with him, i dont think they'll be back to begin with" i tell her, sadly.

"they could have figured this out better" she says while frowning, i cant imagine finding out sabrina cheated on me, the person ive loved since 2002.

we make it to starbucks first and we grab two caramel frappes, and we drive off to the rehab center hoping we arent too late.

by the time i make it there i see danielle waiting infront of the rehab center, with her small bag next to her, when she recognizes my car her smile grows huge.

"DANIELLEEEE" sabrina screams and opens the door while the car is still moving and hugs danielle really loudly.

"BITCH IVE MISSED YOU" danielle yells back as they hug for a long time.

"YOU DID IT YOU FUCKER YOU ARE BACK" sabrina shakes danielle as she smiles.

"SURE AS HELL I DID" danielle raises her hands in the air in victory.

she could have lost it.

"here let me help you with this bag" sabrina lifts it and carries it to the trunk of the car, danielle sits at the backseat, and so does sabrina.

"no captain?" i ask them both as i jokingly frown.

"yep, figure it out yourself" danielle says while laughing, taking danielle's cup from her.

"mm fuck this tastes so good, the food tasted like silicon in there" danielle says.

"well i'm so happy to have you back, i'm gonna call the boys so we can celebrate having you back" i tell danielle, looking at her from the rear view mirror.

"right?? and i'll order you guys pizza, its a sleepover tonight" sabrina declares.

"awe man yes i'll tell jaime and mike to bring their dino and unicorn suits" i agree with them, we could really use some quality band time, we havent hungout that often without since danielle went to rehab, and studio wasnt that fun either.
