My Only One [Alex Gaskarth]

That Was Alex's Exact Reaction

We arrived at our first venue of the tour. In Wisconsin. It was nice and warm, so I got dressed in jean shorts and threw on my white Pierce The Veil sugar skull tank top. I slid on white vans and put my hair in a messy bun. I curled the pieces that fell out of the pony tale before doing my make up and getting off the bus.

Miles walked up to me and handed me a packet, it had a list of what bands I would be taking pictures of each day. I didn't know I would have a schedule for this.

Today I was assigned Augustus Burns Red and Black Veil Brides. This is going to be fun. Molly, a roadie who's staying on my bus, walked up to me. "Hey, Dan."

"Hey Moll." I smiled.

Molly was gorgeous. She had short hair, just above her shoulders. And it was dyed hot pink. She wore dark make up around her eyes and had freckles spread across her face. She had dark brown eyes, so dark you could barley see her pupils. She had braces and her septum pierced.

"Whatcha got there?"

I told her what it was and we got into a conversation about how inlove she is with Andy Biersack from BVB.

"Wanna go look for him?" I laughed.

"Yes!" She shouted and took my arm.

"Wait." Miles grabbed us. "You guys need these."

He handed us both these necklace things that said our names and WARPED CREW on them.

We slid them on and walked off. I put my sunglasses on and we looked around.

"Ooh!" She shouted, "There he is."

We walked up to him, he was talking to someone I didn't recognize. I don't know too much about band members.

"Hey," Molly held her hand out to him, "I'm Molly. I'm a roadie for the tour. Just going to be running errands and helping set up and shit."

He shook her hand and smiled, "Andy."

"And you?" He turned to me. I noticed the person he was talking to walked away.

"Daniela. But you can call me Dani." I smiled and shook his hand, "I'm the photographer."

"Is that an accent I hear?"

I frowned at first, because that was Alex's exact reaction when I spoke to him for the first time. But then I forced a smile and nodded, "Italian."

We stood there and talked to him for a while. I noticed Molly flirting with him and smirked as she did.

Then I realized I forgot to call Casey when I landed,"Hey, I need to make a phone call. I'll see you guys later?"

They nodded.

"Nice to meet you Andy." I waved and walked off, dialing Casey's number.

"Dani? Hello?"

"Hey, Case. I'm sorry, I completely forgot to call you!" I answered.

"It's okay. I was just a little worried."

I leaned up against a random bus door.

"How is it so far?" He asked.

"I met the people I'll be staying in the bus with. They're all super friendly."

"That's good. Have you seen Alex yet?"

"Not yet, thankfully. I don't know how I'm going to react when I see him though."

"You'll be fine." He assured me. That's what I loved about Casey. He's so optimistic.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Uh excuse me." Someone said from behind me.

I turned around and locked eyes with Alex.

"Daniela?" His expression changed.

"Casey.. I gotta go."

"Okay. Call me later. Bye, love you."

"Bye." I hung up and looked at him.

"Daniela," He repeated. "What are you doing here?"

"I.." Be cool Dani, be cool. You're over him. You have Casey. "I'm working here."

"Oh.. Um.. Cool. Hey, can we talk. About, what happened between us?"

"Maybe another time. I have to go." I said, walking away.

I just finished taking a bunch of pictures of Augustus Burns Red, and I headed back to my bus.

I was scrolling through the pictures on my camera walking, when I bumped into a tall figure. "Oops."

"Daniela?!"

I looked up. It was Jack. "DANIELA!" He shouted and scooped me up in a tight hug.

"Jack. Can't. Breathe."

"Sorry." He put me down. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Working." I pointed at the CREW necklace.

"Holy shit! You're finally out of college?"

"It's been a year and a half since I've seen you guys." I nodded. "Yeah."

"Oh yeah.. Has Alex seen you yet?"

"Yeah."

"How'd that go?"

I shrugged.

I stood there for a bit talking to him, until Alex walked up to us.

"Daniela."

"What."

"Can I please talk to you?"

"Good luck." Jack walked away.

"Alex," I said, starting to tear up, "I really don't want to talk to you.." I started to walk away, but he grabbed my hand and turned me towards him.

"Then listen." He said softly.
