Little Rock-Star (GXG)

Chapter 8

(Devon's POV)

I put my phone down. I'm sick of social media. All over twitter is Alex and I's ship name. Delex, that's our damn ship name. And the worst part is, I don't like Alex. Alex doesn't even consider me as a friend, which confuses me. I mean, she did tell me about her parents a couple of days ago. If that doesn't scream friends then I don't know what does.

I leave my room due to a screeching noise downstairs. I'm wearing jeans, a white t-shirt, a black vest and combat boots. My pocket is in my back pocket, along with my cigarettes and lighter. I walk into the living room and see Ivy freaking out.

"Oh my god! I gained so many fucking followers!" Ivy screams. I sigh and walk into the living room where Skylar is. Skylar is texting someone with a smile on her face. I raise an eyebrow but I don't speak. I grab a bottle of water and quietly walk out. I swear, I'm like a damn ninja. It seems to me nobody can even hear my footsteps.

I sit down on the couch next to Alex. Her face drops as she reads something on her phone.

"What's wrong?" I ask her. Tears form in her eyes as she hands me her phone. I read some of the hate comments people say about Alex. I sigh and give her her phone back.

"Alex," I sigh, getting her attention. "You can't listen to those people. They only say those things because they're jealous of you. Remember, you're worth it and you're not useless, okay? Don't let these people get to you. And the haters are pointing out things that make you human, Alex."

Alex nods and wipes her tears away. She surprises me by hugging me. I awkwardly pat her back. Alex pulls back and smiles. I give her a small smile back before taking out my phone.

@DevonUpTillTwelve: Pulling someone down will never help you reach the top. Please stop hating on our dear friend Alex. You guys are hateful for calling her names. But flaws are what makes us human, right?

I enter the tweet. In minuets people are apologizing and retweeting my teat. They are also spamming our ship name.

"Thank you, Devon." Alex says to me as she checks her phone.

"Yeah," I place my hand on her knee. "No problem."

"Devon! Get your ass down here! We're doing a live stream!" Skylar screams. I sigh and put my phone up. I stumble downstairs and sit down on the couch. On my right is Skylar and on my left is Alex. The others are sitting on top of the couch.

"Hey guys! It's Proposal Till Twelve here! Can you guys see us and hear us?" Skylar asks. The comments say yes.

"Alright, we will be answering some questions right now! Send em' in!" Ryan says. Various of questions come flooding in.

"How did Alex and Devon meet?" Leon asks, stifling a laugh.

"Oh lord.." I mumble. "Okay. So I was walking out of the restroom when Alex hit me with the door in the nose. The next day we all went to Starbucks and Alex happened to be the barista. And our last encounter was when I was on a walk and we ran into each other. Fans started to crowd us so I pulled her into the house." I explain. The comments start blowing up about Alex hitting me in the face with a door.

"Hey! In my defense hitting you with the door was an accident! And plus you were a total ass that day." She mumbles the last part so the fans can't hear it. I look over at Alex and study her features. Her long brown hair is shinning and straighten out with curls at the bottom. Her brown eyes sparkle with excitement as she reads the questions. I find myself smiling at her. I tare my eyes away and look at the comments. Some people noticed me staring at Alex.

"This question is for Leon. If you could date anybody in the room, who would it be?" Ryan asks. Leon ponders this thought for a moment.

"This is hard since I'm bi. Ugh. It'd either be Ryan or Devon. Skylar is just to fucking annoying." Leon answers. Skylar scoffs and hits him on the knee. The comments are now chanting Leon's and Ryan's ship name.

"This question is for Devon. What is your biggest OTP?" Ivy asks me.

"Camren without a doubt," I answer quickly. "And I'm pretty sure Dinah-Jane agrees with me!" I add.

"This one is for all of us. Who is your celebrity crush?" Ryan asks. We all go quiet, waiting for someone to answer.

"Mine is Channing Tatum." Skylar blurts out with a blush. I raise an eyebrow at her answer.

"Well my celebrity girl crush is Arianna Grande. My boy one is Shawn Mendes." Leon answers. 

"Mine would have to be Lorde." Ryan answers while nodding his slowly.

"Do I have to answer truthfully?" Ivy whines. We all nod. "It's uh, Ryan." Ivy mumbles. She turns bright red. The comments start blowing up. Ryan has a hint of pink on his cheeks.

"Alright," Alex clears her throat. "My male crush is Harry Styles. My female one is uh.." She trails off. I hear Ivy stifle a laugh.

"It's-her-uh-fuck. Ivy can you say it?" Alex stutters. Ivy grins widely.

"Her crush is Devon!" Ivy shouts. I freeze and look down. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I look at the comments and all of them are about Alex and I.

"Okay," I shift uncomfortably. "My crushes, yes as in more then one. The lovely ladies of Fifth Harmony, Bea Miller and Lana Del Rey. There are more but I rather not bore you guys."

"And that ends it! See you guys soon!" Ryan says. I shut the laptop off and stay seated. We all sit in an awkward silence. Without a word, I get up and go upstairs. I walk into my room and collapse on my bed.

She fucking likes me. And I don't know what to do.
