You Have My Heart | AL Fanfic

Chapter 5

^^ Essence's dog, Marshmallow^^

~Alan's POV~

It was a little past six, and I just finished setting up the Wii when my phone buzzed. I walked over to the couch and picked it up. It was a text from Chad.

Chad: Hey guys, I passed my exams! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😝😝😝

Spencer: Same here! 😅😝😝😝

Caleb: Chad, nice job! What about you Al, Joe?

I typed a quick response to the boys.

Me: I won't lie, pretty sure I was gonna fail, but I aced them.

Joe: This calls for celebration! 😆😝😝🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Chad: Alan, your place, 20 minutes?

Me: See you all then!

I wasn't expecting the group to come over until right then, so I ran to the kitchen to get out the chips, sodas, and Joey's all time favorite, oreo cookies. "Maybe I should order some chicken wings," I said to myself. I picked up the phone and dialed Domino's and ordered some pizzas and chicken wings. A short while later I heard the doorbell go off. I casually walked over to the front door and opened it. There stood my buddies; Joe, Caleb, Spencer, and Chad. Joey was holding two boxes of pizza and was peeking inside the box, trying to get a whiff of the cheesy goodness.

"'End of semester and acing our exams and not having to be murdered by our parents for failing' party is about to begin," Joey shouted, with his nose still in the top pizza box. We all laughed and I waved my left arm out, inviting them in. I turned around to see my girlfriend, Ally, walk into the room.

"Hey, Baby! I'm going to Essence's house for a bit to hang out with the rest of the girls, so I don't have to deal with five teenage boys," Ally joked, smirking at the five of us standing in the living room.

"Okay, have fun. I love you," I told her, giving her a hug and kissing the top of her head.

"I love you too," she replied, hugging me tighter. She turned to the rest of the group and waved. "Bye guys!"

"Bye Ally! I hope Essie doesn't give you any trouble," Spencer said, smiling, which made Ally giggle. She made her way to the door and to her car. When Ally closed the front door, Joey let out a sigh and set down the pizza boxes.

"What's wrong, buddy?" Caleb asked, frowning in Joey's direction.

"I want to know what it feels like to have someone like that," Joe replied, plopping down on my sofa.

"Aww Joe, you'll find yourself a girl soon," I reassured him, sitting down next to him. I then turned my head and looked at Chad. "You need to make a move on Carina." Chad gave me a surprised look, which quickly turned to a stone cold glare.

"I don't know what you're talking about," He replied coolly, still glaring at me.

"Keep denying it Chadwick, it won't make us think it's not true," mumbled Caleb, picking up a slice of cheese pizza.

Joey did the same, but although he was smiling, Joey still seemed a little glum. "It's so weird being the oddball in the group," he remarked, taking a bite of his pizza. "I mean, all of you have girlfriends. Or soon to be girlfriends," he added, throwing a glance at a certain someone off in the corner. Chad turned his icy glare on him, but it didn't seem to phase Joey in the slightest.

"Joe, you could have a girlfriend, you just choose not to have one," I told him, taking a seat beside him on my brown sofa. He shrugged his shoulders, and got to his feet.
