Both Sides Of The Story

Tangeled In The Great Escape

Alex's POV

As I left Jordan's so many thoughts were running through my head. I could feel a panic attack coming on because Zack didn't really tell me what was wrong with Jack. I was running on pure adrenaline at the moment and knew that as soon as it passed I would crash. I arrived on the floor in which we were staying at a fancy hotel. Rian was standing in the hallway while Zack and Flyzik were nowhere in sight.

"Rian? Where's Jack, ummmm Zack seemed really worried about him on the phone." Rian looked down at the floor and that was the instant I knew it was something bad. "He's in there but he's pretty beat up. Flyzik is trying to calm him down." The words weren't even really coming through as sound anymore as I banged on the door for Flyzik to let me in. He opened the door after an agonizing two minutes. I pushed past him and walked over to Jack who was sitting on one of the Queen sized beds in the room. There were tear marks staining his face and scratches up and down his arms. He looked up at me and then turned away guiltily.

"Jack." I said. "I don't want to hear your apologizes because they're all bullshit, okay?" He said rather harshly. That was when I finally snapped. "Wow Jack. Do you even give a fuck about me anymore? I was your best friend since 7th grade now you tell me nothing anymore. I didn't even know you still had feelings for me until Zack sort of hinted at it and then you kissed me. What ever happened to no secrets?" I hadn't even realized that I was pacing around the room until I finally came to a stop in front of him. He stood up to face me but he towered over me as he was a few inches taller than me. "That's grand coming from you. Really. You ditch me now all the time for Tay. It's like I don't even matter. Rian had to tell me that you had a panic attack on your date with Tay. You didn't even tell me about your date which normally you would and have you even checked your phone lately? No. So you wouldn't know that Lisa knows about your new toy and she's pissed. She wants to date me to make you jealous, so don't you fucking tell me that I don't tell you shit." I stopped in my tracks because yeah that was a punch in the face.

"Also, I can see the regret for ignoring me but it's way too late. You made your choice Alexander. Now you deal with the consequences. You chose a pretty girl over your best friend/ex-boyfriend." He walked out leaving me standing alone in a hotel room in New York City regretting every decision I've made for the past two weeks. This tour was going to be stressful as I was going to have to defuse a ton of arguments between my girlfriend and my best friend or ex best friend. At the point, I honestly don't even know anymore. I laid down on the bed wishing this day could be over at 1:13 pm. Is this seriously my life?

Tay's POV

I was actually kind of worrying about Alex, I know he's 2 years older than me and can fully take care of himself but he seemed really freaked out. I hope everything is okay with Jack as I could hear both sides of that phone call. I went downstairs to talk with Cam, Jordan, and Alexa as they were exactly where I left them. "Is everything okay? I saw Alex rush out of here." Cameron asked. "Oh yeah. He had a band meeting to get to something about their set list." I easily lied. Cameron gave me a look that said he could tell that I was lying but whatever.

"So did you two actually do anything last night, Tay Tay?" Alexa asked. I gave her a look. "No since you must know. Go write in your diary or fanfiction journal that Tay and Alex didn't sleep together." Jordan and Cameron burst out laughing while Alexa shot them a death look. "For your information, I don't write fanfics and if I did I wouldn't write straight pairings as I'm not even straight. K Thanks." I gave her a look that said she had truly lost it. "I should go. As no one seems to truly want me here besides Sam needed help with something." She got up and walked to the front door slamming it.

"You realize she's totally mad at you." Jordan said. "She'll cool down. She's a San Roman. Come on Cam, let's go." Honestly, I didn't want to be at Jordan's anymore and Cameron was just an excuse. "Oh right. We have to finish planning that surprise. Bye Jor." Jordan gave us looks but replied with a "Bye.". When we got into Cameron's car, He turned and said "Okay. Why did Alex run off so suddenly like that?" I sighed. "If I tell you, you know nothing. Alright?" His whole demeanor changed as he noticed I wasn't fucking around. "Alright. I promise."

I took a deep breath and began to tell him "He got a phone call from Zack. It was about Jack and the way he was freaked out. Cameron, I think Jack hurt himself in some way and I'm so worried about him." "So text him. It's that simple." I got out my phone and opened up our messages. Hey darling. Checking in on you. I took him almost the whole car ride back to my place for him to reply. His message simply read: Hello Taylor. I'm not feeling well. Don't worry about me as I'm going to bed. Goodnight. I thought "Great Alex. I'm worrying about you even more now. Cameron pulled up outside of my house. The car ride was mostly silence with the occasional street noise or Cameron cursing under his breath from traffic in New York. As I got out of his car, I turned around to say goodbye and noticed he looked sad. "Cam, what's wrong?" I asked. He looked over at me. "Nothing, Don't worry I was just thinking about how we ditched Jordan." I laughed. "Jordan can handle himself. Goodbye Cameron." I waved until he drove away and went inside my house to think.
