Heartstrings in Brooklyn

Chapter 2

Chapter two-"Fuck it"

"This pizza is simply the greatest thing." I smile as I take a bite of my pizza, sat with Jake and Lexi at our favourite booth in our favourite restaurant at our favourite mall. Well mine and Lexi's favourite mall, Jake's? Not so much.

"Hmm, the question is though, is it as great as Alex?" Lexi smirks.

"Oh shut up, yes it is great pizza." I laugh, taking another bite.

"Oh shut up" she mocks my accent.

"You can't do an English accent for shit." I roll my eyes.

"Yeah whatever." She laughs.

"Okay well, after we are done can we please leave?" Jake sighs as he stares at the bags smothered around the booth.

"I guess so." Lexi rolls her eyes at him.

                                                                       .......................................

I had been going to Alex's house every day for the past week practising our cover, and we finally had it down, it's ready to be recorded. I'm so sure it will be perfect for YouTube.

"YouTube? Scary stuff" Alex laughs as I mention the idea to him.

"We don't have to." I smile.

"No, no we will, it will probably be nice for you to have someone else on your first video anyway." He smiles as he sits down at his drum kit and I set up the camera and everything else we need to film and record. The entire time we record and film, I can't help but look at him, every time I look towards the camera, I just feel his gaze on me and my eyes dart back to him again. I notice the creases he gets while he concentrates, and the way his hair falls onto his face and the way he shakes his head slightly to make it move.

Once we are finished I can't help but grin.

"That was so good!" I smile at him.

"You were incredible." He smiles back. "I can edit it if you like, I'm good with all that stuff, and then we can upload it tomorrow." He offers, I thankfully accept as I am terrible with editing videos.

"Hey, it's already eleven, and I'm pretty tired, plus you have work tomorrow, so I should head off." I stand up from the sofa after emailing the video over to Alex so that he could edit the cover on his mac.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" he asks.

"Yeah, that's fine with me."

"Finally home?" Brogan asks me as I walk into the house and see him and Amelia sat at the breakfast bar.

"Indeed." I walk into the kitchen and take a seat too.

"How is it all going?" Amelia asks.

"Yeah it's really good, its great having someone else on board, we filmed the final version of a cover today and he's going to edit it and ill upload it to YouTube." I smile.

"Not weird at all that you've been hanging with my best friend more than I do." Brogan laughs.

"We are playing music, I've known him as long as you have so it's not that weird."

"True." He laughs.

"Anyway, I'm so tired, so I'm gonna head to bed." I stand up and grab a bottle of water from the fridge, then head upstairs to get ready for bed.

"Paisley, wake up, mum and dad have gone and I'm about to go out so just letting you know you're alone." Brogans voice and the sound of him knocking on the door breaks me from my sleep.
