The pretender (An All Time Low Story)

Chapter Six

Jesse's POV

“So, you're telling me that you're the lead singer of my best fucking friends favourite band?” I said to Alex.

“Um, yeah, I guess. Small world?” He laughed. I pulled out my phone, taking the camera out.

“We need a photo of this, she'll flip out. It'll be so funny!” I said as we posed for a photo. Zach became quiet once again. “Hey, give me your board.” I told him, handing him my phone.

“Um, why?” He said, slightly shocked, but still handing it to me.

“Just do it, I haven't skated in at least two weeks. I snapped my board, and PJ needs one more than I do so I haven't gotten a chance to buy a new one.” I took his board and started pushing. I did a few ollies and a few Pop shove-its to warm up. Alex and Zach already seemed seriously impressed. This was gonna be great. “Hey, come over this way real quick!” I lead them back to a park that was about five minutes from where we were.

PJ and I had skated there before, and there was this bench that we had waxed to perfection. I wasn't nearly as good as PJ, but I could still Nose Slide this bench. I knew that they'd flip shit if I did it first try, which I knew I could do. I didn't like skating that much, but I knew that they'd love to see me do something impressive like this.

They looked at me quizzically and I just giggled a little. I road up to the edge of the bench full speed, and everything seemed to slow down. I ollied up onto the ledge and turned 90 degrees. As I slid across the ledge, I heard them start to gasp. Once I had landed, I turned around, stopping the board. They both looked pretty fucking shocked, and I just grinned.

“HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU ARE THE PERFECT PERSON OMG WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO???” Alex yelled out. I just laughed.

“I'm really not, um, I can't do many other tricks on a board, but I used to play softball, I actually played on my college team, and I can play the guitar.” I said. Their jaws dropped. I started to get nervous, as I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad one. Alex started running at me, and this freaked me out. I didn't like having people run at me, nothing good comes from it.

I just turned and started running, actually pretty scared. I heard Alex laugh from behind me, getting closer. I felt his arms close around my middle and tug me to the ground. I almost screamed out, terrified, but it turned into a laugh when he started to tickle me. I was so confused. I was used to running, getting caught, and getting the shit beat out of me, not a tickle fight.

“Stop, Alexxxxxx, stop it!” I yelled, trying to stop laughing. Zach just watched me struggle. Finally, after a few minutes, Alex stopped tickling. I just stayed laying on the ground. The sun was going down, and I was reminded what I had to do tomorrow.

I started standing up, but Alex pulled me back down into his lap. “Alexx, I have to go soon. I need to get home.” I whined. Honestly, I didn't want to go home, as this was more fun than I'd had in a very long time. I actually started to feel comfortable around them.

“No, aw come on, I'm having fun!” He groaned. I tried to squirm away but he wouldn't let go. “Nooooooooooo” he whined. I groaned.

“Zach? Do you mind?” I asked politely. He just smirked at me and Alex's eyes got wide as he started to walk over. Alex tighten his grip on my waist, and I giggled. Once he got over to us, Zach just shook his head at Alex and lifted me out of Alex's grip.

“Holy fuck you're light!” Zach said, almost dropping me out of surprise. We started walking away from the park, making our way towards my apartment. Once we rounded the corner nearest my place, I stopped to say goodbye.

“Thanks for tonight guys, this was the most fun I've had in a long time. Um, Zach, I think you still have my phone?” I said, giggling slightly. He blushed and handed me my phone. “I guess I'll see you guys around?”

“Yeah, see ya around” Alex said awkwardly. I hugged them both and headed upstairs to my 4th floor apartment. I stopped for a moment when I reached my door when my phone went off. I had 4 new messages, all from different people.

Alex is just sooooo HOT <333: We totally didn't put our numbers in your phone. No way, right? ~Alex xxx

I smiled at the first text. I texted him back, telling him that there was no way they put their names in my phone, no way at all ha.

Alex was really kind, and I wish that I could have told them about tour, but I didn't want to get too close to them. I don't like getting too close to anyone. The second text made me smile just as much.

Zach Merrick: Hey, we wanted to know if you wanted to come with us to meet the rest of the band tomorrow? We're having lunch at our Managers office if you wanna come?

Sadly, I had to meet Matt and the people I would be going on to tour with, so I couldn't go with him. I just told him that I already had plans. Then there were two.

My Lovely Cecilia!! <3: HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM COMING OVER TONIGHT AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TODAY!!!!

This made me laugh, but the last one made my heart drop.

PJ: Why the fuck were you hanging out with Zach? He's a fucking tool and so is the other guy from the looks of it. What the fuck are you thinking. Come home NOW.

I received those all about 2 hours ago. I was in deep shit. I don't even know how PJ knew I was with them, but I had to keep telling myself that he doesn't control me. This was NOT going to be a fun night.
