My Love Is Never Ending(Chris "Motionless" Cerulli Love Story #4)

Chapter 2: I'm Bruised and Scarred

~*Chris' P. O. V*~

Ricky, Balz, Ryan, TJ, and I all waited in the living room for Angelo to get here with Alexandria. My parents would be home late, my brother and sister were at their friends' houses, leaving us here to ourselves.

"So, Tate just punched you? All because you said fuck you on a piece of paper?" Ricky asked.

"Yeah," I answered, still in pain.

I didn't want them knowing I was still hurt just because I didn't want them getting involved. They have their own problems at school, I don't need to give them more.

"You need to fight back man. Like this," TJ said then knocked Ricky to the floor.

They started wrestling each other on the carpet, Ryan, Balz and I stood on the couch cushions and started cheering them on. With all the loud shouting and them running into things, we were all completely unaware someone walked in until Angelo spoke up,"Uhh....guys."

We looked up and saw him standing there with a girl who was as skinny as a twig, had long, dark brown hair, a black AFI shirt, jeans with tears across the knees, and combat boots with spikes and buckles. I couldn't help but stare at her.

"This is Alexandria. Alexandria, this is TJ, Ricky, Ryan, Josh and Chris," Angelo anounced.

"YOUR SHIRT IS KICK ASS!" Ricky shouted, pushing TJ off him to see Alex.

"Ang said he thought you'd like it," she said shyly then laughed slightly.

Ryan then got up to meet her, followed by TJ, then Balz saying,"The names Balz, Josh Balz."

She laughed and asked,"Seriously?"

He nodded then said,"You can call me Josh if you want."

She laughed again then I stepped up to her. I could see her eyes were a sparkling blue covered by black eyeshadow that was blended out slightly and black eyeliner as I looked down at her. She was beautiful.

"Hi, I'm Chris," was all I could say.

"Hi," she repeated as she stared into my eyes.

"Are you guys going to just stand there and stare at each other?" TJ asked.

We snapped out of our trance and I said,"Sorry."

"We practicing today or what?" Ryan questioned.

Fuck, my side and stomach still hurt like Tate just hit me, I was in no mood to practice right now but they can't know that.

"Yeah, sure," I lied in agreement.

Everyone headed down to the basement where all of our stuff was. Alexandria watched us as we set up, tuned up, and got ready.

"What's your band name?" she asked.

"Motionless in White," Rick answered.

"Angelo never told me he was in a band until today when he asked if I wanted to come see you guys," Alexandria fessed up from the couch against the wall.

"Shame on you Ang," TJ said sarcastically.

He grinned a little then asked,"Ready?"

I really wasn't but to keep my secret safe, I nodded. Angelo hit his sticks together a few times and we began playing our cover for the song Iris by the Googoo Dolls. When we finished, Alexandria clapped for us, making everyone smile at her. God damn, she was amazing. Just looking at her, I felt so drawn to her. We played a few more songs the decided to call it a day. Everyone began unplugging and putting away their instruments, I pulled my mic stand apart, occasionally looking at Alexandria. I just wanted her to be near me. A light went off in my head and I said,"Hey Alexandria, can you help me for a second?"
