Somewhere In Neverland

Twenty.

Alex's P.O.V.

"Where'd they go, Alex?" Rian asked me for the twentieth time. "Rian, just shut the fuck up." Zack said, groaning. Rian glared at him and I smiled to myself. "Chill out dad, they're on their way home." I grunted. As he was about to comment, I heard the front door open and I immediately sat up. I saw Arabella walk in and she looked so much better than usual.

Her burgundy hair was a little messy, from the wind I'm assuming. Her eyes weren't wet with tears for once, they were calm and serene. She looked relaxed, not frightened and timid like a little child. That's my girl. I smiled to myself and she smiled, coming straight towards me. "I love you." Was all she said while planting a kiss on my lips. "Take it you enjoyed it?" I said, raising my eyebrows. She nodded and cuddled up under my arms.

Jack came walking in and he looked, wait? Why's he look so stressed? I looked at him, raising my eyebrows but he wouldn't make eye contact. I've been so lost in my thoughts, that I haven't even noticed something is tearing my best friend apart. "Jack! Goddammit, what took so long?!" Rian said and Jack looked at him, grinning. "Oh, you know, just picking up hookers and all that jazz." I laughed and Rian sent me a death glare which immediately made me shut up. Arie giggled softly into my arm. "Why is it every time we have something to do, you and Alex don't think there's a reasonable time to be home?!" Rian said, obviously annoyed at the fact that no one took him seriously.

For once, Jack just blankly stared at him. No joke cracking, no snide comment, just looking at him. "Sorry, Rian. I just want to go to sleep. Night." He said, heading up the stairs. "What's wrong with Jack?" Zack said, sitting up in alarm. Arie looked at her feet and was twirling her thumbs. She looked at me as if to say go talk to him. I stood up and headed for Jack's room. "I'll see you all in the morning."

Arie followed close behind, practically clinging on to me as if I was a life vest and she was in the middle of the ocean. I turned around and laughed at her face, "c'mon princess. I'll be in a bit, I'm going to see Jack." I said, placing my lips on hers. Surprisingly, she deepened the kiss, brushing my lips with her tongue. I pushed her against the wall, my hands trailing her frame. I kissed her neck, gently, making sure not to leave a mark. She moaned softly and pulled my hair. She bit my neck, and not so nicely. I moaned and then she stopped. "Go see your boyfriend!" She giggled and ran into our room, slamming the door shut.

"God fucking dammit!" I swore to myself, trying to make my boner go away. I don't know what got into her, but I liked it. I made my way to Jack's room, not bothering to knock on the door. "Bitch." I sneered walking in, and Jack was laying on his bed looking at the ceiling. He grinned, softly. "Move on over, I wanna cuddle. Arie kicked me out so she could change." I said, whining. Jack giggled and scooted over and I laid on the bed next to him.

"What's going in your head, man?" I asked, getting straight to the point. He sighed, and turned his face towards me, "Olivia." "Did something happen?" I said, sitting up in alarm. Jack doesn't usually date girls, so when he does, he truly cares, meaning he doesn't take break ups lightly. "No, no. Calm down. I'm just worried about this tour. What if we can't make it? What if she cheats or something? What if she just can't do it?" He said, placing his hands over his face. "Bring her with." I said, and he looked at me in disbelief. "You really think Matt would let me?" "Fuck Matt, bring her." I said and smiled. "If Arie goes, Olivia goes. Deal?" He nodded in agreement and we just laid there talking about stupid shit for a good hour. "Well, I'm gonna call Olivia and ask her if she wants to accompany us and then try to sleep. Don't wanna be tired for the first day!" Jack said and I nodded kissing his head and getting up.
