Save Your Heart For Someone Who Leaves You Breathless

Chapter 23: Hello Again

Katie’s P.O.V

     I hear Alex’s voice come out of the darkest of the street and I’m flooded with relief. I see him, Flyski, and Colussy have come to my rescue. I run to them while Matt is distracted. Flyski takes me quickly from the scene back to the bus. Going back I can’t help but be concerned about Alex still back there. Getting on the bus everyone is up pacing back and forth waiting for one of us to walk through the door.

     Jack’s head shot up immediately and without even thinking he walks over and pulls me into a hug while I sob into his shoulder. “What the hell happened? What’s with the red prints on your cheek?”

     Before I can even say anything Alex and Colussy come back. I run to Alex and he explains everything that happened to the rest of the guys. Back in his bunk I can’t help but literally cling to him. He is the only person who can make me feel safe.

     The next morning I wake up with Alex’s arm still around me and look to see him doing something on his phone. He looks to me and see’s I’m awake. He locks his phone and kisses me on the tip of my nose. I return his goofy morning smile and swing my legs out of the bunk onto the ground and pulling him with me. Alex walks to the kitchen joining Colussy with making some breakfast.

     “I’m just going to go jump in the shower,” I tell to no one in particular and start grabbing some stuff from my bag.

     “Actually,” Colussy interrupts, ”We’re going to be checking into a hotel for the day in like 10 minutes if you want to wait and not uses the hell hole that thing in there is.”

     We all grab whatever we need from the bus and go to the hotel front desk. We get 5 joining rooms. Thankfully Alex and I have a room to ourselves. I drop our bags down on the bed and announce once again that I’m getting in the shower. Alex throws a devilish smile my way and walks toward me. He comes over kissing me and leads me into the bathroom. Without breaking the kiss he pulls back the shower curtain and turns on the water. He pulls off my shirt and I do the same to his. Stopping there and he looks at me and says against my lips, “C’mon nothing says good morning like shower sex.” Laughing against his I pull him back into the kiss stepping under the steaming water.

     Both of us exhausted a pour some shampoo in my hands and run them through Alex’s hair. He relaxes his hand in my hands letting me massage the apple smelling bubbles through this hair. Washing it all out of his hair then washing both of our bodies we turn of the water and dry ourselves off. We both get dressed and throwing my hair in to a wet bun we both go out to join the other guys.

     Doing our walk of shame into the room where everyone is we see there is a new unexpected visitor. Both of our eyes grow wide and my face grows rather pissed off. We look to everyone else and they return the same confused look. Who else would be sitting on the bed talking to the guys but Lisa?

     She sees us entering the room hand in hand and runs to hug Alex.  Alex stands there awkwardly while she has her arms wrapped around him and he just looks at me uncomfortably and shrugs her off. Sitting on the couch Alex just kind of awkwardly looks at her and asks, “So Lisa what are you actually doing here?”

     Lisa, obviously not taking the hint that she is extremely unwelcomed, responses, “I heard you guys were in town! What did you think I wasn’t going to come visit my guys?!” The use of the phrase “my guys” really rubs me the wrong way.

     After some small talk we have to get on with the show. As I get on stage I can’t help but notice the glares Lisa is shooting at me from the wings. Walking off her way after I’m done I can feel her purposely bump into me.

      Back in the hotel after the show the guys decide to throw a small party with all the other bands on the tour. Hanging with some of the We Are the In Crowd guys I notice Alex is not were in sight. I excuse myself from the conversation and ask Jack if he has seen Alex.

      “You know what I haven’t. Come on I’ll help you look for him,” he response back. We look through the main room where we have been keeping all the drinks and they aren’t in there. We get to Rian, Jack, and Zack’s room and look through the couple people in there. Toward the corner of the room Lisa’s bleach blonde hair catches my eye. Then I notice Alex there too. I pull on Jack’s sleeve and motioning where I see them. We move a little bit closer notice Lisa getting closer and closer to him.

      From the distance we’re at now I can make out Alex saying, “No Lisa get off me. I’m with Katie. We aren’t together anymore Lisa! I dumped you last year it isn’t my fault you can’t get over me now can you get your sorry ass out of this hotel room.”

     She looks back at him pleading and tells him, “C’mon Alex. You know what we had is so much better than whatever you have with whoever that slut is.”

       “That slut is his girlfriend and you know what? That is the second time in two days that someone has called me a slut and frankly I don’t think I deserve that. Now Lisa like Alex said can you please get out of here,” I interrupt. She collects her things and whatever once of dignity she has left and leaves not saying a word to anyone.

     We clean up everything from the party and I crawl in bed. Alex sides in next to me wrapping his arms around my waist. Moving my hair to the side he whispers in my ear, “Don’t worry about her. Don’t worry about anyone. What I feel for you is something so strong that I have never felt about anyone else. Don’t take it too hard. Goodnight sweetheart,” he finishes kissing me lightly in the middle of my forehead. 

AN: So I really have nothing against Lisa I just needed someone to use. Comment and vote please!!
