01 - Lift Music

Alex Turner

This party is terrible.

It's a big house and very fancy too, but it's boring. I can tell they are trying to make the party fun with all these party city decorations. Well, it's not fun. They are also playing some interesting music. It sounds like lift music.

Where the fuck is Miles? I don't know anyone here and I look like a fucking idiot just standing here in the middle of the room alone.

I knew I should've waited outside. Why don't I ever thin-

"Oh my god! I am so sorry!!"

I looked down to see the girls drink all over my shirt. Great. This party is so fun.

"It's fine." I sigh.

"Oh my fucking god." Her eyes becoming wide. "Alex Turner?!" She yelled and I widened my eyes and nodded.

"You don't understand how much you matter to me! I love you so much!" Her voice cracked and her eyes became teary. I don't get why they always become emotional.

Right before she was going to say another word I felt a hand on my shoulder, pulling me away from her.

Thank god.

I turned around to see whose hand it was. My frown flipped upside down when I saw who it was.

"Beer??" He said

"Where the fuck were you Miles?"

"Well I heard there was a bouncy house in the house so I was trying to look for that but I couldn't find it anywhere then I saw you so, I figured that I should-"

"Okay Miles I get it." I chuckled "Who's party even is this?" I asked out of curiosity. I don't know anyone here.

"Uh, I actually don't know."

I stare at him for a second. "Do you know anyone here Miles?"

"Well duh! Do I seem like the type to show up to a randoms party?!"

"Yes. You do"

"Oh my. anyways, yes I know some people here. As a matter of fact, we should go meet some people!" He grabs my hand as we are passing by people.

Miles is clearly extroverted. He can easily start a conversation with people. Everyone loves Miles. On the other hand, I'm not very social. I don't talk to people that much. It doesn't bother me that I don't socialize a lot, I like to keep my life private.

"Oh here we go!" I see Miles smiling at some girls.
"Hey, ladies!!" He lets go of my hand

"Miles! Why haven't you answered my calls?" The black hair girl said.

"I had some things to do I'm so sorry I won't miss a call ever again."

"That's what you said last time.." The other girl said smiling a bit. She had dyed dark gingered hair.

Miles stared at the girl for a second. "I did?" Miles said confused. "Oops."

"That's it we are done!" The dark-haired girl stormed off.

"Wait what! Sarah come back!" Miles turned around to face me again. "Why is love so complicated? Honestly, what did I do?" I chuckle as Miles seems so confused.

"I don't think you did anything wrong Miles. She's just having a rough day." The dark ginger hair girl says . "You should probably go find her."

Miles gasps dramatically. "I should go find her! Thank you Bell can't live without you!" Miles started walking backward as he points at her then moves his finger to point at me. "Alex stay with her I will come back! Or not who knows? Miles said smiling. Then he was gone.

It was silent. As much as I don't like to socialize I still don't want to leave her here and she was certainly not leaving so there was no way to get out of this. She was very beautiful but I'm not really looking forward into relationships right now especially with the whole Alexa thing. It was a hurtful breakup, we decided to be just friends but I don't know if it would ever be the same.

"So... your name is Bell?" I ask the girl next to me.

she smiled and laughed quietly. "Um no, Miles just loves to call me Bell because it's my favorite Disney Princess, it's short for Arabella." Even her name was beautiful.

It went silent again.

"So.. what's your name again?" Arabella asks. I look at her confusingly as I was confused at how she doesn't know who I am.

You don't know who I am?

"Am I supposed to know?" She smiles

Oh shit. Did I really say that out loud? Does that actually happen? What the fuck, I thought that only happens in books.

"Um no I'm sorry it's just a lot of people already know me. I'm in a band." I say quite embarrassed.

Does she really not know who I am?

Arabella

Of course I know who Alex Fucking Turner is. Every girl knows Arctic Monkeys. I just love to fuck with people, it's fun.

"So, what's your band called?" I ask acting like I don't know.

Alex smiles nervously. "I don't know.. the name is pretty stupid you would laugh."

I smile "What? I'm not going to laugh." He looks at me with an unconvinced face. "The name is probably not even that stupid!" I have to admit, it kinda is stupid. In the best way though of course!

He doesn't tell me the name so I decide to change up the conversation.

"The music here is pretty shitty ain't it?"

He chuckles. "It really is." He turns his head to me to make eye contact and he smiles. Goddamn, he has a nice smile.

"We need some party anthems in here."

"Definitely!" He agrees "How do they expect us to dance to some lift music?" I laugh and he smiles as he was proud to make me laugh.

I take my phone out of my pocket. The Lock Screen said 1:24 am. Shit I have a big shift tomorrow at work.

"Hey I think I should get going, it was really nice to meet you Alex! I hope we run into each other some other time." I said walking backward in the same direction as the exit, turning around, and leaving.

Okay so this is my first time writing so... I'm not really good at it, but I've been wanting to write a story forever and I'm a big daydreamer so I always have scenarios in my head so let's hope this book works out??
Also I would really appreciate any tips and how I can improve!
