Daddy Jack

Chapter 2: Just A Hug

Jack

I paced the floor of the tour bus and waited for Alex to ask him What the hell was he thinking squirming around during the interview, jumping up and rushing around at the end and to put the icing on top of the fucked up cake he holes himself up in the bathroom for 15 minuets! Where is he?! "JACK!" Rian our drummer and my best friend yelled snapping me out of my self induced trance.

I looked at him with a confused expression and asked "What?" and the man chuckled and says "You've been mumbling to yourself for the past 4 minutes straight and Alex's name has been mentioned once or twice." Before taking a drink of beer.

Dusty pink coated my nose and cheeks as I said "So?" Trying to shake off his words. Rian has this silly notion that Alex and I are cute together and that our bromance is deeper than that. As I said it's silly, me and Alex have been friends for so long that our bromance is playfully and silly and a little bit lovey but we're still buds.

A small whine interrupted Rians rebuttal and I turned around to see Alex looking at Zack with his little puppy dog pout. Zack, who looked back at Alex sternly, had an expression on his face that said 'Do It'. All, if any feeling of anger fled my body the moment I looked him because come on who can stay mad at the cute little face? Did I just say cute I meant that face yeah let's go with that.

"Sorry I took so long and scared you, I just didn't feel all too well and I had to really go you know? You still mad at me?" He apologized looking at me with those big brown eyes that wanted my heart. It was at this moment I couldn't care less if he just said that he had shot my mom in the ass. I wasn't even the slightest bit of angry at him. I walked up to him and pulled him into a Bear hug to which he kinda melted into and said "I can Never stay at you, you're my best bud".

I don't what someone put in the vodka but having Alex in my arms felt.... Really good almost.... Natural like I was Supposed to be holding him and loving on him like this and maybe even more than this. Um woah that's not what I meant what I meant to was...... eh, I got nothing.

It seemed like hours that I held him until someone cleared their throat and Alex and I jumped apart. Alex gave me a fake smile but I didn't miss the disappointment in his eyes when he had to let go and said "Well good well I'm going to bed, so um night guys!" Bumping past me and heading to the back towards the bunks. Zack followed him sighing and Rian smirked saying "Well that went well".

I glared at him and shrugged it off thinking it was another Alex thing and went to go get food from the kitchen, but the whole time I was wondering Why did it feel so good to just give my friend a hug?!! I've got to be buzzed too buzzed to think straight. Hopefully by tomorrow this will all blow over and everything will be back to normal.
