Somewhere In Neverland

Twelve.

Arabella's P.O.V.

I can't believe I just told Alex I liked him. But, I did mean it. And I really hoped he wasn't bullshitting me. But I don't think so, his eyes looked sincere. He had this big, stupid, toothy smile on his face and I just giggled a little. He looked away, blushing. "Can we watch Peter Pan?" I asked innocently, and he nodded, laughing a little. "I'm going to run upstairs to grab a pillow and the blanket," he winked and walked out.

Maybe this will be good thing. Think positively.

Alex came back in the room, shutting off the lights and plopping down on the couch next to me. I pressed play for the recording that Jack had so graciously made for me and I turned into a little kid. I remember how my dad and I would watch Peter Pan every night before I would go to sleep. I smiled, a little remembering him before he just upped and left me and my mother. Ah, mother dearest. I wish daddy would have taken me with him. Can't even call yourself a mother. Fuck you. I grunted, smiling at myself and Alex raised his eyebrows at me. "You all good?" He mumbled, yawning. I nodded and kissed his cheek. I pushed him down on the couch and snuggled up next to him. I felt him breath slowly and happily, while he kissed my head.

"Goodnight, my little Wendy."

I heard him snoring and breathing evenly. His grip never lightened up around me, like he was scared I would get kidnapped or something. I continued watching Peter Pan, until I became extremely tired. I turned around a tad bit, kissed Alex on the head, the corners of his mouth turning up a bit. Yet, he didn't move at all.

"Goodnight, Peter Pan. I'll see you in Neverland." I said quietly, putting my face into his chest and falling into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up to the smell of pancakes and turned slightly to see Alex still sleeping peacefully next to me. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. I slowly got up, trying not to wake him and headed towards the kitchen, suddenly feeling hungry. I saw Jack and Rian cooking bacon and pancakes and making coffee. Rian turned around, "good morning sunshine!" He exclaimed, with a bright smile. "Morning mom," I joked and Jack snickered. "Coffee?" He offered and I shook my head.

"So, you and Alex finally admitted you like each other?" Jack grinned and I shot him a look. "Kind of," I replied, blushing. "AWWWWWWWWW, THAT'S SO FUCKING CUTE. ALEXZANDER GASKARTH GET IN HERE!" Jack screamed on the top of his lungs. Suddenly I heard someone groan and walk into the kitchen. "For fuck's sake Jack, people do try to sleep past noon at this house," said a very crabby Zack. Jack laughed and I giggled, then I felt someone throw their arm around my shoulders. Alex, I smiled too myself. "Morning, beautiful" he grinned and I blushed.

"Gag me," Jack said, rolling his eyes.

"With my dick?" Alex said, raising his eyes and snickering.

"Baby you know I like it."

"Gross, get a room" Rian said and everyone started laughing.

We all sat down to eat the breakfast that Rian and Jack cooked. It was a little burnt, but I ate it anyways, feeling really hungry for once. They boys all looked at me, with wide eyes and I got nervous and stopped eating. "Damn, Rian, we sure know how to cook!" Jack said, making everyone laugh. I blushed. "Ah, love, relax. We've just never seen you really eat before." Zack said, ruffling my already messed up hair and I grinned, going back to eating.

"After breakfast, I have some good news for everyone!" Rian said, looking extremely excited. "What?" Everyone blurted out at the same time and Rian just shook his head, "after breakfast!" We all groaned and I headed upstairs to shower and get ready for the day. Thank god it's Saturday, I get two days of peace from that hell hole of a school. I sighed, getting into the shower.

I stood in there for a good ten minutes before I heard hands banging on the door. "ARABELLA FUCKING JAYMESON GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THE SHOWER SO WE CAN KNOW WHAT RIAN HAS TO TELL US JESUS CHRIST!" I heard Jack and Zack scream at the same time. "I'M COMING GODDAMIT!" I yell back and shut the water off. I hurry up and get dressed and run a brush through my hair. I run the down the stairs, seeing Alex about to come up.

"About goddamn time, we've been waiting forever!" He said, sticking his tongue out. I roll my eyes and follow him into the living room and plop down on the couch next to him and he placed his hand on my thigh. I smiled and waited for Rian to start.

"Well, as you all know, we're in a band," he started,

"Thank you captain obvious!" Jack said and Rian threw a pillow at him, Jack stuck his tongue out. I giggled and Alex and Zack laughed. We quieted down and Rian continued, "well, cause I know none of you fucks are going to send shit in to anyone to look at go over, I did myself. To hopeless records. They reviewed our stuff and asked us to play at Warped Tour this year. So, that's where we're headed!" He finished excitedly and turned to Jack, waiting for a smartass comment.

Alex's P.O.V.

I was shocked that Rian had did this. I was more shocked that we actually made the cut for warped tour. Warped Tour, really?" I asked, still in shock and not believing it. Arabella squeezed me leg and smiled, but sadly. "Yes, Alex, Vans Warped Tour." He said, smiling. Suddenly Jack jumped off the couch and tackled Rian. "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!" He screamed without taking a breath. "Dick, get the hell off" Rian said, pushing Jack off and Jack winks.

I smiled and nodded as my thank you and Arabella stood up. What's up with her? I said, and looked at her, confused. She looked like she was going to cry. "I-I'm happy for you guys. You deserve this," she said, her voice cracking. She turned and walked upstairs. What was that all about? What's wrong? "I'll go talk to her," I sighed, getting up. "NO! I'll talk to her," Jack practically yelled, already halfway up the stairs. Jealousy sparked up in my veins and I shot him a dirty look, but relaxed realizing it was just Jack.

It was just Jack, right?
