A L E X A

I woke up struggling to move. I was trapped between someone's body and the couch. I tossed and turned to see who it was. Jack. He looked like a God while he slept there. 

I searched the room to see where Justin was. Justin was nowhere in sight. I carefully got up from between Jack and the couch and searched for my phone. Maybe Justin texted me saying he had to leave or something.

When I found my phone, I saw that I had a message from Justin. 

From: Biebs

To: Alexa

Hey, I woke up pretty early and couldn't go back to sleep so I left. When you have the chance let me know how talking to Jack went ;)

I replied with an 'okay' then I let the dogs out and went back to the theater room to see Jack waking up.

"The beast is alive!" I joked. Jack looked up at me and smiled.

"Good morning to you too." I laughed and sat on the couch.

"Sam texted me last night and told me everyone is going to the Santa Monica Beach today. You wanna come with me?" He asked.

"Yeah, I don't have any plans for today." I said. 

"Alright, well I'm going back to my place to get ready, then I'll come back to get you."

"Jack, how about you just stay here while I get ready, and then I drive you to your place then to the beach. You're always driving me around, it's like you think I can't drive." He chuckled then nodded.

"Alright I won't be long." I said, then ran upstairs to get ready.

 I searched my drawers for the perfect bikini. Once I found the one, I went to my vanity to do my hair and put on a little bit of makeup. I packed my beach bag and soon enough I was ready to go.

"Hey, Jack?" I said on my way down the stairs, "do you think I could bring my dogs? I feel like I've been leaving them here too much." 

"Yeah, that's fine." I smiled and ran to get the dogs and put them on their leashes.

"Alright", I said as I grabbed my keys and the dogs, "you ready?"

"I'm ready when you are." Jack said. We walked into the garage and got in my car. 

The entire ride was filled with us singing and talking. Just like old times.

Jack ran in his house and quickly got ready since all of his friends were already at the beach.

The drive to the beach was 24 minutes so in that time we talked about life.

"So you go to college at UCLA?" Jack asked.

"Yeah. It's a really nice school." I said, looking at the road.

"I wanted to go there before-" I cut him off.

"Before your music career took off with Johnson." I finished his sentence. I've heard this before.

"Yeah, how did you know that?" He asked, looking at me.

"I almost did the same thing, but with YouTube. I know that's pretty stupid, but at the time I was just a 17 year old teenager, I thought pursuing my YouTube career was the only thing I needed to do in life. That's when I got into art and decided it would be best to go to college, major in art. Drawing, dancing, and photography. So that's what I do, but I also have a backup plan if all this art stuff goes downhill for me; become a nurse."
