Alex's POV

That. Just. Happened. He, he, wait am I still dreaming? Did that just actually happen? Oh my gosh! Okay, okay, I need to calm down, act cool.

Johnnie grabbed my hand and helped me up, he carried my bags for me and walked me out while still holding my hand.

"Just follow my lead", Johnnie said confidently.

"Okay" I said while still in shock.

Johnnie's POV

Woah, I have no idea where that sudden burst of courage can't from, but it was a bad idea, I mean, Alex, liking me? That's impossible.

I just realized I was holding her hand right now. Ohmygod. "Okay, I see all the guys, let go over there",

"Um, okay I'll meet you over there in a minute" Alex says hesitantly.

I take her hand again and pull her aside near a bench where the guys can't see us. I put my arm around her and try to calm her down.
"Hey, are you sure you're okay?" I say to Alex, I can see her eyes watering up again, "hey, cheer up, you get to meet a bunch of your fans and spend time with the rest of the guys, I mean I'll be a bit busy, so you can't hang with Bryan and all of them. Seriously, I promise, you'll be fine.

She hugs me, and she guys me tight, I hug her back too, I guess what I said cheered her up.
"You ready to go over there?"

She nods, I walk with my arm around her and ask her how the plane ride was.

She tells me, we make small talk until we get to share the guys are standing.

"What took you so long?" Asks Jordan curiously.

"Oh, Alex dropped her bag and everything came out, I helped her put it back in and stuff" I lie and tell the group.

"Well uh, we were going to go unpack at the house, then just order some pizza and chill, I mean you guys look pretty tired, and it's late, so we'll do fun stuff tomorrow night." Bryan says

We all nod in agreement and get into Bryan's car, not all of us fit, so I volunteered to take a taxi, asked wax the last one in and she didn't fit either, because we had to put some bags in the back seat too, so she agreed to ride in the taxi with me.

It took about ten minutes of awkward silence until we got a taxi. I opened the car door for her and put her bags in the trunk before getting in next to her. It was small, but it was nice, I could see the happiness in her eyes when she saw the surrounding of LA. She finally turned around and hugged me

"Thank you sooo much for buying my ticket, I'm really happy I'm here Johnnie."

"No problem, in happy you're here too", I said very cheesily
