Daydreaming About You (Jalex)

Chapter 3 - Buzznet

"Wide awake, my mistake,
so predictable"

5.9.08

Mornings were the hardest for all of us, I would have say to me especially but Alex, on the bunk next to me, hadn't even opened his eyes yet. His hair was a big mess over his head and covered about third of his face, he seemed so innocent and peaceful; not the loud sarcastic guy I saw during the day, which was actually sweet. His lashes were longer then I've noticed them to be, they made big shadows on his cheeks next to his little nose that was close to his slightly open mouth..

"Jack!"

Startled I raised my head so quickly it hit the bottom of the bunk over me. Pain burst through my skull making my vision blurry.

"fuck! What?!"

"I wanted to make sure you're up!" Zack yelled from no where to be seemed, I don't know whether it was because he was in another room or because I only saw black now.

I could feel my forehead pound as I cursed my luck. I can't believe this is happening again.

"what's wrong with you?" his voice was close now, but I had my hands covering my face while groaning in agony.

"I hit my head because of you! Jesus Christ why did you had to yell?"

"To make sure you were up. If I whispered you wouldn't have heard me, would you?" Zack explained as it was the most logical thing in the world and as I don't have the urge to get up and hurt him so bad, and I would have if I was sure I won't pass out if I try to stand.

"I hate you so much."

"Are you okay?"

"I think I have a concussion."

He chuckled, throwing a towel on me "take a shower, you have an interview in two hours."

What? My confused face gave me away and Zack looked at me deadpaned "you seriously forgot? Matt reminded to you two about it almost everyday this past week."

"Shit!" I jumped, the Interview in buzznet. I actually remembered that one, I can't believe I let it slip from my mind. "Why didn't you just say that before?" I talked more to myself than to him now, going through my suitcase and taking out clothes.

"yeah 'thank you for waking me and saving my ass' could've worked either."

I rolled my eyes and then noticed him hovering over Alex and shaking him slightly by his shoulders, I can't believe he hadn't woked up from all the noise we made.

"Damn it, this guy can sleep during a fucking hurricane" Zack muttered to himself, voicing my thoughts.

But then I saw Zack was still in his work out outfit and before I asked him about it I repeated in my head what he said before when I wasn't really listening,
"wait, you said the two of you?"

In every band there were those few people.
You could call it attention seekers, over confident or people who simply talked too much, maybe even all of the above.
But as much fun as it seems on stage, there were other duties those people had to do in exchange to promote their band and that is, among other things, is interviews.

In our band it was me and lex. Don't get me wrong, Rian and Zack had opinions to share and went to interviews as well, but each of them also had more hobbies and social life then both me and Alex together.
It's funny to think that after all these years it hasn't really changed.

Once on the small room, when a camera pointing at us and a nice looking young lady is sitting next to us asking all kinds of question, I took a moment to just look aside at Alex.
No matter how much he complained about waking up early or having to go to those stuff, he loved it. He loved explaining himself and talk about the band or the fans or just simply life.
He would get so deep when asked about his songs and I would just sit and listen to try and understand how things are working underneath this pile of messy sprayed hair.

"yes, definitely." Alex answered, grinning, what made his dimples show, it was cute. "we get exited each time, no matter how many shows we did already."

"Watch how all these kids came just to see us and listen to our music is taking us by surprise every time" I added truthfully.

"yeah, we keep asking everyone if they came to right concert." Alex said with a serious face.

The girl on the couch in front of us chuckled "low self esteem much?"

"yes! It's awful." he smiled again, but I knew this is more than just a joke.

We had little fate in ourselves from the very beginning, it was a part of the 'dont take life too seriously' motto that we try so hard to keep. Not that it made us put any less hard work on what we wanted to achieve of course. But even with our life prospective, we kept and keep till now comparing ourselves to other bands and artists, whether if it's out loud or unconsciously. I think it's something that just happen in the music industry, so you don't have too much control over it.

I always looked up to the rest of the guys because of their incredible talents, knowing that both Alex and Zack could play the guitar and probably do a better job than me, so there's nothing too special about my part. With time I learned to deal with those thoughts but I think Alex have them more often; a lot of people can play a song with bass or drums and it'd sound pretty much the same, singing on the other hand, was different. Every singer has his or her own unique voice and comparing your voice to other singers can never be objective, especially when your self esteem is low anyways.
I say, and I think I can speak in the name of the most of the population, that Alex has a beautiful voice, and I didn't mind reminding him that whenever I had the chance.

If I have any mistakes, please tell me so I could fix them, thanks for reading :)
