Alex's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night to shaking and the faint noise of crying. I opened my eyes to see Johnnie sitting up in bed, shaking uncontrollably, trying to cry as quietly as he could.
"Johnnie? Hey, what's wrong?", I said sitting up and moving closer to him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up, just go back to sleep, I'm fine.", he said very quietly, almost not loud enough to even hear.
"Johnnie, it's gonna be okay", I said pulling him into a hug.
He collapsed into my arms and started sobbing, saying he can't believe she's really gone, his mom of course.
I held him and didn't let go. He needed someone. After a while of crying, and not just him, I felt so bad. I mean Johnnie's mom was nothing but nice to every single one of us in mde. But back on track, after a while he calmed down and fell asleep, using my lap as a pillow, I ran my fingers through his hair and repeated to him that I love him so much until he finally fell asleep.
I fell asleep sitting on the bed, with my back against the wall, Johnnie's head on my lap.
I woke up hours later because Johnnie was laying me on the bed.
"What are you doing?", I asked, half asleep.
"You were sleeping against the wall and I was about to go to the living room so I moved you onto the bed", he said.
"What time is it?", I said looking at the window. It wasn't that bright out, it was rainy out but still.
"Its only seven", he said looking down.
"Why are you getting up?", I asked, very confused.
"I couldn't sleep, I barely slept at all last night other than when I woke you up. Sorry about that by the way", he said.
"I'll get up with you", I said holding his hand.
"You didn't sleep much either, go back to sleep. I didn't even mean to wake you up", he said sitting down on the end of the bed.
"Nope, I'm not sleeping in here alone", I said, pretending to pout.
"Fine, I guess you're getting up. All I'm doing anyway is going to the living room and watching TV", he said shrugging and helping me out of bed.
We walked out to the living room and Johnnie woke Kyle up and told him to sleep in his bed. We layed down on the couch and he turned on the TV, we put on an old, cheesy, horror movie from the eighties. I layed there with Johnnie and he finally fell asleep. I didn't fall back asleep though.
Johnnie's POV
I woke up alone. Nobody was in the house, my phone was gone. The TV wasn't working. I was yelling for Bryan, Kyle, Alex, and Jordan. Nobody was there. Then it felt like the room was collapsing on me. I heard someone yelling my name.
I shot up. Wide awake, Alex screaming my name.
"Johnnie!", she yelled as she grabbed me and held me even though I tried to get out from her hold.
I was shaking, crying, I couldn't really feel or hear anything. I faintly heard Alex's voice it calmed me a little bit. I finally eased into her arms and regained my senses.
"Hey, it was just a nightmare. It's okay. I'm here now", she said to me and I interlaced my fingers with hers. I still didn't talk but this way she knew I heard her.
I told her about my dream after being silent for like an hour. She hugged me and told me that it'll all me okay and that she, along with the boys, are always there for me to talk to.
Today was kinda a lazy day after that. We all just sat around, watched movies, ordered pizza, all that stuff. I really needed it though, everything has gone to shit for me and I really needed a break.
After we finished watching Nightmare before Christmas I felt Alex nudge me, I looked over at her and she gestured to the other room then got up. I followed her into the hallway.
"Okay, so I don't want to stress you out anymore but I have a question", she said hesitantly.
"Just ask it", I said.
"Okay, so I know we talked about me moving in, but warped tour starts in like three days and I won't see you all summer", she said looking sad.
I hate it when she's said because I never want her to be sad, and when she is I just want to grab her and hug her and tell her I love her until she's happy again.
"Don't worry, well figure something out, I promise", I insisted to her, kissing her before we go back out to watch the next movie.
