Miss Missing You (All Time Low Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Alex

"Hey, you okay?" I asked Marie the next time we skyped. She looked like she just saw a ghost. Her face was pale and looked like she was about to puke every minute. "You look a little sick."

She ran a hand through her frizzy chocolate brown hair. "I'm fine."

I looked at her through the computer screen. "You sure?"

"Alex, I'm fine," she snapped. I was slightly taken back. She rarely yelled or snapped at me like that. I guess she recognized the look on my face and her angry face softened. 

"I'm sorry, it's tough over here," she said. 

"I understand. I shouldn't bother you."

Marie gave me a small smile. "So what city are you in today?" 

"Pittsburgh," I replied. Our tour started last week and a lot of people have been coming to our shows. It was a dream come true. I never thought I'd actually do something like this. It's amazing how a small thing can start off as a hobby and then you're going to end up doing it for life. It's insane. 

"Are you enjoying it?" Marie asked. 

"I am, but I miss you," I said. She giggled. 

"I miss you too." 

"So I wrote a song," I began, grabbing my guitar from the corner of the hotel room we were staying in. "And I would like to sing it to you." 

A big grin spread across Marie's face. 

"And I would love to hear it," she said. I smiled and placed my fingers on the frets of the guitar. I started strumming the strings. 

"Tonight, we lie awake. Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives? One more long night. Another seven days. Heartbeat racing. The interstate, my home tonight. For one more long night. I'm sure as hell the happiest I've ever been. 

We get high, we let go. We've got more than we know. My friends are a different breed. My friends are," I sang. I sang the whole song through but I messed up a bit and Marie laughed it off. 

"I really like it," she said. "What's it about?"

"Our adventure in Vegas," I said as I placed my guitar down. "Of course I made it sound fun rather than us getting arrested."

Marie smiled. "I love you Alex. Okay, don't ever forget that."

A grin spread across my face. A million little butterflies fluttering in my stomach. I never knew a single girl would make me feel this way. Damn, I was lucky. A sudden noise came from Marie's side of the computer. She sighed and turned around and yelled, "Come in!"

A girl with blonde hair came in the room and she was holding a carton of ice cream in her hands. 

"Marie, Mr. David is looking for you," the girl said, scooping up a spoonful of ice cream and shoving it in her mouth. I saw Marie's back tense of the sound of the man's name.

"Who's Mr. David?" I asked. Marie turned to face her computer.

"Just my English teacher," she turned back to the blonde, "What does he want?"

"He told me he really wants to see you. Oh my gosh, is that your boyfriend?" The blonde's face was now in the camera peering at me. Her baby blue eyes got wide. "Is that Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low?"

"Uh, yeah. I am," I said. All of a sudden, the girl let out a scream. 

"What?!" Marie asked, looking at the girl as if she was insane. Well, she is insane.
