Caution (Alex Gaskarth) *SLOW UPDATES*

15

"So what do we do now?" Alex asks as we sit on the curb behind the bus. The tour finished and we still haven't figured out exactly what we are.

"I can't lose you again Logan. I know you might not want to hear that but it's the truth." He adds. I sigh and look to the ground.

"No matter what you aren't going to lose me." I say taking his hand and looking him in the eye.

"Do you think we are ready to do this again? Well really are you ready to? Because I want you. I want us. I want everything we had and more and I want to start over." He says.

I stare at him. Am I ready for this? He and I have grown so close I forgot that we weren't together if i'm honest. I feel so comfortable around him. I feel so real. He brings out a side of me that I wish I could show every second of the day. I want to, I want him. I want us.

"Yes." I say. He looks at me.

"Really? Are you sure?" He asks excitedly. I nod. He takes my face in his hands and smashes his lips to mine. My hands fall on his chest to steady myself. I smile. This is so cliche and normally I would be gagging but now that I'm in the moment...I see why people use it so much. I take a step back and grab one of the bags.

"So I might need a lift back to my apartment." I say with a smile. Alex nods and lifts the last two bags into the back of the car. I throw my bag in the backseat and he smiles before walking over to the drivers side and getting in the car. I take the passenger seat and he starts the car putting it into gear before taking my hand. I smile and lean back against the seat.

"That tour was pretty amazing, if I do say so myself." I say. Alex nods and smiles

"It was really cool, I've always loved touring and I know you knew that, but this one was more than I had ever expected would happen." He says. I nod and look out the window to see the LA streets passing me by, its familiarity welcoming me with open arms, I've missed it more than words can express. I take my phone out and open Twitter while Alex is forced to take his hand from mine as to drive in the traffic. Searching 'Alex Gaskarth', brings up all the speculations of him and I having some secret relationship and brings up stories of how we had to be together before this tour. I laugh at these people who have no idea as to how right they are and shut my phone off.

"It's pretty ironic how right they are huh?" Alex chuckles. I nod and look at him.

After being around Alex for so long after...well not being around him for so long I begin to notice what people notice about him, he's opinionated and maybe doesn't know how to word things or what to say and what not too, but he ultimately means well by everything and he tries his hardest to make sure that everything you want is given to you better than you could imagine and that he has a great sense of humor, he honestly cares about people no matter who they are.

At one show a girl gave him a letter and he read it and he dedicated therapy to her and made sure she was on stage for time-bomb.

"Here?" Alex asks. I nod and he pulls into the lot and stops the car.

"Do you want me to-" He starts.

"Stay." I say. He smiles and helps me with my bags. We walk to my apartment in a non awkward silence and I pull out my key and unlock the door. We both step in and set my bags down.

"Nice place you have here," he says with a smile. "I like it."

"Yea, I was by myself so I didn't see the need for a house." I say. He nods and walks around the room. I shake my head and take my bags into the back room and Alex follows.

"Loft apartments are always pretty." He says, I nod and take a deep breath.

"I love it." I say looking around. I missed this place but having Alex here makes it feel better. I turn and smile at him before pulling myself into his arms. He kisses the top of my head and then rests his chin on it. I smile and close my eyes.

"Logan," Alex says. I look up at him and his lips fall on mine. I smile and kiss him back. I break the kiss just as someone knocks at my door.

"Fuck that's probably Abby." I say.

"Do I need to leave?" He asks. I shake my head.

"I don't know what she is going to do but don't take any of it personally, just ignore it and I will make her stop I promise." I say. He smiles and sits down in a chair. I walk over and open the door before the bouncing red head is wrapped around me.

"Hey Abby!" I laugh. She jumps off of me and smiles

"How was tour? What did Alex do? Was he an Ass? Do I need to beat hi-" She rambles. I rub the back of my neck before she looks over to see Alex now standing by the wall.

"What. The. Fuck." She asks looking at him.

"We kinda, well, fixed somethings and we are trying to get back." I say. Abby looks at me and then at Alex who has his glance fixed on the floor. He sighs and looks to Abby before walking over to us.

"Look, it's nice to meet you Abby, and just as I owed Logan an apology I owe one to you too. I hurt your best friend even though you guys weren't best friends at the time how I hurt her still hurt you, so I'm sorry." He says. I look at Abby who stares at Alex.

This could go one of two ways...
