Runaways [Alex Gaskarth]

We'll Be Missing You

When I woke up Alex was still asleep and I crept out of bed and downstairs. I didn't want to wake him up but I had work today. When I got downstairs I saw Jack looking like a zombie and drinking coffee.

"Morning" I said and he almost dropped the mug out of shock "Sorry" I giggled. 

"No it's fine, I like shitting myself first thing in the morning" he smiled "why are you up so early?" 

"I have a job" I smirked "I could ask you the same thing" 

"Just couldn't sleep" he sighed "You want a ride to work?" 

"Yes please" I answered, pouring myself a coffee into a flask and stealing one of their apples for breakfast "are you conscious enough for that?" 

"Yeah, this is my second coffee" he smiled, jumping off the counter and grabbing his car keys. He gave me a ride into work and I ate the apple in the car and pissed of the people driving behind us by launching the core out the window and having it hit their side mirror. Jack went into hysterics at that and almost crashed but I made it into work alive. My day was highly boring, I spent the morning arranging meetings while Sarah answered calls. We got lunch quickly at some sandwich shop as it got busy in the afternoon and we had to eat at our desks. My phone beeped a couple hours before I got off. 

1 new message - the sex king. 

I chuckled, Alex had taken my phone and changed his name a few days ago and I hadn't changed it back yet. 

Hey babe, so I just woke up, do you want a ride home from work? xx 

I typed out the fastest reply ever. 

Afternoon, sleepy head. Yes please, it's been a long day. x 

I worked a half hour over time as Sarah had to go home early as her Gran had taken ill a few days ago. I didn't mind because she wasn't her usual chirpy self so something really had to be wrong. When I finally clocked out Alex was waiting outside, leaning against the door of his car with a coffee cup in his hand. He smiled when he saw me, pushing the cup into my hands. 

"Hello" he said, leaning down to kiss me "How was your day?" 

"Long" I sighed, climbing in the front seat. 

"So, it's your day off tomorrow, right?" he asked 

"Yeah" I nodded, taking a sip of the coffee 

"So the guys and I decided that pulling all nighters was not helping the writing what so ever" he said "and we're gonna do a little more tonight before having a whole day off tomorrow" 

"That's a good idea, you all look exhausted" I smiled as he rested his hand on my leg. 

"We were thinking of having a barbecue, maybe just sitting by the pool" he smiled "please don't yell if we practice our songs a little" 

"I promise I'll try my best" I said "but you guys need a break" 

"Yes mom" he said sarcastically 

 "Shut up" I giggled "hey, can you stop by my place, I need to pick up some more clothes" 

"Okay" he nodded, taking a right on to my street. He stopped in front of my flat and I climbed out. I ran up stairs and crammed loads of clothes into a bag and more foundation as I'd finished a bottle yesterday. I'd barely been home in the two weeks Alex and I had been dating, it was becoming pretty pointless even owning a flat but I didn't mind. I'd been so happy lately. I ran back down and into the front seat of Alex's car. When we got home Cassadee, Zack and Jack were in the living room, eating peanut butter and jam sandwiches.
