UK Winter Tour

Alex was already out of bed. I ran downstairs to see suitcases downstairs that the guys had all packed the night before. So that’s why there was a suitcase out in Jack’s room yesterday. We had to leave for the UK tour soon and I was stoked. I ran downstairs finding Alex making some coffee.

“Hey baby, how’d you sleep?” Alex asked smiling at me.

“Awesomely thank you. How about you?”

“Amazingly, you were in every second of my dream,” he said smiling at me.

“JACK, ZACK, RIAN! COME ON WAKE UP WE GOT TO LEAVE FOR THE UK TOUR SOON!” I yelled up to the guys. 

I ran upstairs and got washed, dressed and make-up on as quickly as I could. When I ran back downstairs to find Rian, Zack, Jack and Alex all dressed.

“So Alice, when are we going?” Rian asked eagerly.

“Yeah! I’m stoked!” Jack yelled.

“Well the plane leaves at 9:30 so if we leave now then we’ll have 10 minutes to get checked-in and all that so LET’S GO!” I yelled. We piled the luggage and instruments into the trunk of the Hummer and then Jack grabbed the keys off of Zack.

“I’M DRIVING!” He yelled.

“NO!!” The rest of us yelled back as Alex slammed the trunk shut. 

“Let Alice drive.” Alex said. Jack threw me the keys and I caught them in my right hand. 

“SHOTGUN THEN!” Jack yelled. 

We piled into the car and drove off to the airport. We all grabbed some luggage and the guys grabbed their instruments. I helped Rian with his drums though. We checked in and then made our way to the plane just 5 minutes until it had to take off.

“God! I’m stoked! I wish we could go now!” Alex said excitedly. 

“This is your captain speaking we are about to take off please fasten your seat belts.” 

After a while the air hostesses came round to check our seat belts. The air hostess that came to Alex and I said to Alex

“Good morning Mr Gaskarth, what a pleasure it is for you to be flying with us. If you need anything be sure to let us know.” 

“Thank you, I will.” Alex replied. The air hostess reached across Alex to check my seat belt and whilst leaning over, look at Alex and grinned evilly. I could feel myself burning up like a volcano about to explode, Alex could see that.

“Would you mind not reaching across me? I have a relationship with this beautiful girl right here.” Alex said reaching for my hand and kissing it.

“Fine whatever,” the hostess replied. You could tell by the tone of her voice that she was very annoyed. 

I gazed into Alex’s eyes once the hostess had left and said.

“Thanks honey,”

“It’s fine baby,” he smiled at me. “Do you have your allergy medication thing?” he then asked.

“Yes it’s in my bag down by my feet.”

“Good!”

 “This is your captain speaking we are now ready for take off.” 

The plane; the excitement, and I was sharing it all with Alex; my Alex. The night we met was simply magical. It was in England, Cambridge. I hadn’t seen Zack for ages and wanted to know how everything was going with his band. I surprised him and the others by turning up at the All Time Low concert at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge. It was before the show, during the meet and greet that the guys were doing. I knew everyone backstage so they let me in with no problems. I made my way to the main stage, I got the backstage crew to dim the lights. I heard a few panics from the stage but ignored them a spotlight shone on me as I went out. I sang with no backing music, I sang Sweet Child O’ Mine with the help of my acoustic guitar.

I finished and the lights went up, there was applause and Zack lifted me down from the stage and hugged me’ followed by Rian, then Jack and finally Alex. I can’t remember what I thought but something said to me I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with this man. I hope I’m right. 

Food came round to us a few minutes after I had my flashback. The same air hostess that checked our belts gave us the food and looked angry when she came to Alex and I. 

“Does this have any nuts in? I’m allergic to them.” I had to ask her, even though I didn’t want to, but I knew that if I didn’t then Alex and Zack would make a huge fuss about it.

“No...” She said simply then turned away. I don’t think she gave much thought into the answer though. After I had finished eating I fell asleep. I dreamt of the day that Alex and I saw each other again after not seeing each other since high-school.
