Both Sides Of The Story

Drunk Actions are Sober Thoughts

Tay's POV
I honestly couldn't grasp why everyone was being so cold to me. I had known Cameron for half of my life. Shouldn't he know not to lie to me?

I went and laid on me bed to think about how crazy this day has been and it's hardly over. Let's see my boyfriend is being distant and my best friend lied straight to my face.

I sighed and closed my eyes. Why does the world hate me? After a few moments of peaceful silence it was interrupted by my phone ringing off the hook.

"Hello." I didn't look at the caller ID because why should I?

"Hiya!" An Australian accent returned. Yup, that was Jenna. My best friend from another country, we had actually met on MySpace. She knew almost everything about me.

"Jenna!!!! What's up? Thank god you called today!" "I actually had news to tell you and why are you so happy I called? You can call me anytime Tay-bae."

"I know. It's just been a hard couple of days. I actually have a lot to tell you and fill you in on." "Well talk away."

I filled Jenna in on all the details of what happened since I met Alex and she listened carefully. "To be honest, it sounds like he has some issues to work out. And I feel that if he doesn't work those out, it's gonna damper your relationship."

I absolutely hated it when Jenna was right but I knew she was. "Yeah. He has ex problems with Jack and his ex girlfriend. I feel like he loves Jack a lot." Jenna sighed.

"I've been there before. Don't let yourself get hurt okay?" I nodded even though she couldn't see me. "Yeah. Anyways, you said you had something to tell me."

"So you know how we got signed to Fearless Records?" I wasn't jealous at all because yeah Fearless is way better than Hopeless. Who am I kidding?

"Yeah! Congratulations by the way." "Thanks love. Well anyways, We gotta record an album." I was getting excited because I think this was going in the direction I wanted it to go.

"Jenna, what are you saying?" "I'm saying that I'm coming to the states in five days!" I screamed. Honestly, Jenna was a wonderful person and she could read anyone so it would be nice to have her around for a couple days.

"I'm so excited! This is gonna be great!" "Yup and maybe I can meet that wonderful boyfriend of yours." "Totally!" I heard Jenna sigh and knew she had to go because International calls were a bitch.

"Do you have to go?" I asked. She sighed. "Unfortunately yes. I'll see you soon though." "Alright bye Jen." "Bye Tay-bae."

I grabbed a notebook and pen suddenly feeling inspired and began to write down my deepest thoughts which would translate to song lyrics.

Alex's POV

I woke up from my nap a little bit later and looked at the clock. 10:30 pm it read. Damn, I slept for a long time. It was well needed after the blowout between me and Jack.

No one was in the room with me so I guess Rian decided to crash with Zack and Jack. Nice, even my two other best friends were ignoring me.

I knew it would be too late to call Tay and hang out. Afterall, she was probably mad at me because I brushed off her concern this afternoon.

I grabbed the room key and made my trek outside. I walked to one of the nearest bars around the hotel. I needed to get shitfaced tonight.

I ordered a beer and a couple tequila shots. Taking the shots first while nursing the beer. "You okay dude?" A guy said who was sitting next to me.

I looked at him. "Honestly, I'm not okay and it's not alright but hey that's life." The guy suddenly grabbed his beer and moved to a table on the other end of the bar.

Two Hours Later

I was drunk, more than drunk. I was stumbling and knew I should call someone. A couple of my friends were in town on tour but I wouldn't bother them.

I pulled out my phone and scrolled through the contacts.
Jacky :) <3
Ri-Bread
Z
Taylor
Lisa
Vic
Kells
Vinny
Flyzik
Danny
Grieco
All of them were in New York for various reasons but I didn't want to bother any of them.

I began walking down the street away from the hotel. "Alexander?" I heard someone call. I turned around to see Lisa standing in front of me.

"Lisa, how are you doing?" She laughed. "You know you're drunk right?" Now it was my turn to laugh.

She grabbed my arm and I let her. "Come on, I'll let you rest in my hotel room." We began walking down the street and I couldn't help but check her out.

"Hey Lisa?" She turned to me. "Yes Alex?" I smiled. "Thank you for showing compassion tonight." She laughed. "Anytime Lex. I'll always stop for you." I grabbed her hand and led her into an alley way.

I pushed her against the wall and began to kiss her. Her arms went around my neck and I moved my hands to her waist. We stood there making out for a couple of minutes until she pulled away.

"Are you sure Jack won't be mad?" "Fuck him." Lisa smiled and kissed me again. "How about we take this back to my place? Huh?" I was happy to comply.

Lisa's POV

I was walking down the street after my meeting with the executives at BuzzFeed. They liked my work and wanted to move me from to Baltimore office to the New York office.

As I turned the corner I saw a guy stumbling down the street. Typical drunk people but wait that person looks so familiar.

"Alexander?" I called out. He turned around and smiled at me. Honestly, I feel like he hates me at times. "Lisa, how are you doing?" He slurred out and yeah he was shitfaced drunk. I couldn't help but laugh. "You know you're drunk right?" He laughed but honestly he was much more approachable if he knew he was drunk.

I grabbed his arm and waited for any signs of protest but there was none. "Come on, I'll let you rest in my hotel room." I honestly wanted nothing in return but to be his friend again.

We began to walk down the street and I noticed Alex kept checking me out. I've wanted this for a while now but he's with Jack?

"Hey Lisa?" I turned to face Alex wondering what went on in that head of his sometimes.

"Yes Alex?" He smiled at me and my heart jumped into my stomach.

"Thanks for showing compassion tonight." Can he stop being so fucking adorable? It's not making this easier on me. I laughed.

"Anytime Lex. I'll always stop for you." He grabbed my hand and led me into an alley nearby and yeah the thought is he gonna kill me? ran through my mind.

Those thoughts were quickly silenced when he pushed me against a wall and began to kiss me.

I put my arms around his neck and he moved his hands to my lower waist.

After a few minutes of making out, I pulled away reluctantly.
"Are you sure Jack won't be mad?"

He looked at me like I was insane. "Fuck him." He said with full confidence.

I decided to see if he would let me take things further so I said "How about we take this back to my place? Huh?" His smile could honestly blind someone.

"Sure." He said. He grabbed my hand and I began to lead us back to my hotel room.

"You know? I really wanna fuck you tonight?" He whispered into my ear. I was pratically pudding in his hands.
