Come & Get Your Love • Alex Turner

28: Platonic Soulmates Do Exist

Celebrating New Years Eve and Day with my family was all-worth the risk. We partied all night until I slept around in 5 in the morning already. This wasn't my first time of sleeping in a late amount of time.

Now I'm back here in LA, the flight was stressful. But hey, my friends and I are going to make it to the concert this evening. Two days have passed since Alex's birthday and I only greeted him in our chats, and he was thankful though by saying that was already the gift he have been waiting for.

I dressed in a black tube top, it was covered by corduroy brown jacket and a pair of oversized light blue denim jeans. I felt confident in my outfit.

We rode in Perry's van and some again in Pierre's. The said venue was at The El Rey Theatre. Bridgette was excited on meeting Jamie and Abigail on the other hand would like to take a picture with her so called father. I brought Alex's simple gift which was stored in my old H&M shopping bag . I hope he'd appreciate my simple gift for him.

As we arrived at the venue, tons of people were already waiting outside for the show. When we made it inside the venue, it was crowded. Alex told me I should meet him backstage even though I already bought tickets earlier before but it's quite unfair to my friends' part that Bridgette and I are the ones who'd be making it to the backstage area. I was shy of seeing Alex again for the first time after many months.

"So are we gonna go inside or what?" Tommy and Bryce asked in confusion. I really wanted to go with them and with their girlfriends since I was too nervous in facing Alex and his friends.

"You know what, fuck this. Alex even agreed to bring you all in the backstage area", I said as my nervousness was gone.

"Hell yeah ", all of them cheered as we made it through the backstage pass, but first, the security asked us of our names and when the moment he heard my name, they let us all passed inside the backstage area.

When the moment we entered, there were staffs who were working and shouting around, they were preparing for tonight's show for the Monkeys. I didn't spot Alex nor any of his bandmates especially Jamie. The staffs gave us nice looks as we made a bit of eye contact with them.

"Alex really brought us here, thanks to you, Ave", Lance said as he approached by my side.

I turned my back and was willing to go outside, "You know what, we should just see them alongside with the audience ",

"Hey wait", Mick said as I was about to go outside but suddenly my name was called and I turned around to see who it was, Alex.

Oh God.

He was wearing a printed black shirt labeled with a Great Britain flag labeled as Triumph, a pair of blue denim jeans and a leather shoes.

"Oh hey", I approached with a smile on my face, and then he pulled me into a hug, the smell of his cologne was too good to ignore.

He whispered softly into my ear, "Nice seeing you again", he comforted me while in the middle of hugging.

We both pulled away from the hug, "Oh by the way, I'm gonna introduce you to my friends I brought along in this special night. By the way, a gift for ya, mister!"

"Thank you, Ave"

Alex introduced himself to my friends. He even talked to Albon. The Alex Turner and Alex Albon finally talked as Turner wasn't alone of being Alex. He even shook hands with Charles, Perry, Tommy, Lance, Max,  Miguel, Lando, Pierre, Abigail, Bridgette, Mick, Zhao, George, Yuki, and Oscar. Alex was on the bliss when he realized that  Bryce, George, Lando, were from England also while Tommy was from Scotland. Alex even talked to my male friends' girlfriends.
