Chapter: 27

Alex liked to consider himself a stoical individual.

The proof is the number of things he had to endure throughout his lifetime. He has survived all on his own, stayed up countless nights with Chris and A.B to finish a song, fought other people to protect Chris whenever he got drunk, and worked nonstop to earn money.

Really, he believed he had the patience to deal with anything that was thrown at him. Whether it was problems or obstacles.

Unfortunately, that was proven wrong.

He may have the patience for anything, but right now, it was difficult in the situation he was currently in.

Boredom.

Alex always found himself busy most of the time, and that was normal. When joining a band, he was prepared for how busy it would get. Practicing, performing, and staying up all night to finish an album.

On top of that, if he did have free time, he would either spend it hanging out with Chris or Selena, shopping for food and clothes, and working out.

Though, today was a different type of day, a one-of-a-kind day.

Upon waking up, Alex expected to hang out with Chris, maybe wander around Corpus Christi and explore it more. Instead, Chris left a letter informing him he was going with A.B and Pete to help Abraham with another band that needed aiding for their album.

He was fine with that, and as much as he wouldn't mind going to help as well, he was a reserved person. Alex didn't like being around a huge amount of people he didn't know.

Furthermore, he later found out Selena and Suzette went out to get their hair and nails done. Typical. Along with that, Ricky and Joe weren't anywhere to be found.

In Alex's eyes, this was an unusual day.

Again, he didn't mind being alone, he was an introvert. Mostly all the time he liked being by himself - being busy with whatever goals he had for the day.

But, today wasn't that type of day. There wasn't anything to keep him busy, and he was hellaciously bored. And he wasn't going to be laying on his bed all day. He liked being active.

And because of that, Alex decided to head over to the studio where the band practice and composed the albums. Of course, there was nobody there, but he was hoping to find something that will keep him occupied for the day.

Be it reading comic books that were there, watching the TV, or playing around with the production equipment. At this point, it didn't matter.

As long as it helped him get through the day.

Glancing at the welcome sign that hung on top of the head jam, Alex pushed the door open, surprised to find it open instead of closed. He had already the key inserted before pulling it out and heading inside.

The lights brimmed as he made his way through the large corridor, staring at posters and photos of bands he didn't know. He did let out a smile when he glanced at a photo of Selena y Los Dinos - a photo they took a year ago when he and Chris first joined.

Time does go by fast. One day you're playing with Shelly and random bands - next thing you know - you join Selena Y Los Dinos. Touring around the state, visiting Mexico, and now the touring is going to expand towards the northern and southern states of America.

Man... This was all surreal for him.

Shaking his head, Alex turned left as he headed towards the practicing room that Jose Behar gave them. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, puzzled why the lights were on, especially the door being opened when he was sure Abraham closed it a couple of days ago. He assumed the janitors were still in the building, cleaning, despite the building being closed.
