Manage Me, I'm A Mess (TAYLEX)

5. Your Voice Was The Soundtrack Of My Summer

Alex's POV

I really hated myself for not asking for Tay's number. I can't stop thinking about her. Today it was summer, I kept on singing Both Sides of the Story. I think I'm in love with her voice, I kept replaying, repeating the track. I hope she's doing fine.

"Alex! Alex! ALEX!!" I was listening to The In Crowd then Jack removed my earphones.

"What the f--"

"Shut up. You can't believe this!" Jack squealed.

"What is it?" I asked and leaned on the sofa.

"Interscope Records wants us to go to the studio, and we need to perform a song for them and they'll think if they'll sign us!" I can't believe it. We're about to be famous.

"That's awesome! When?" I asked with satisfaction.

"It's next month, let's practice. Call Rian and Zack to go here in Poughkeepsie," Jack said while I nodded and got my phone.

"Hello?" Zack said.

"Hey Zack, can you go here in Poughkeepsie?"

"Eh, why?"

"It's an emergency. A unbelievable emergency, which is a good thing. When you come here we'll explain everything."

It took 5 seconds for Zack to answer, "Okay, okay. I'll be there by the night."

"Incredible," I said and I hung up then dialed Rian's number.

"Hey Rian," I called.

"Alex! What do you want?" Rian said with his serious voice.

"Can you come here in Poughkeepsie?"

"Uh, why?"

"We have amazing news! When you come here we'll explain everything!"

I heard him sigh, "Okay fine, I'll be there, bye."

"Have a safe flight!" I heard him hung up.

For the first time in forever, I was highly satisfied about everything, we were about to be famous for our music, my dream. If my dad saw me famous, I don't know what will be his reaction, it's either he doesn't care or he's proud. I still hope he is proud. And I really hope my mom was here to support me, my dad killed her, on purpose.

I was 15, 3 years ago. I was awakened by the sound of my dad shouting an my mom crying.

"YOU FUCKIN BITCH! YOU DESERVE TO BE IN HELL! YOU HAVE NO FUCKING RIGHT TO FUCKING JUDGE ME OF WHAT I DID!" my dad growled, and after that everything was silent. I silently walk to my door and opened the door slightly and peeked what was going on. Unexpectedly, I saw my dad with a knife on his hands and.. blood.

My dad killed my mom. Now, it's just him and me, he's a demon. A demon sent by Satan.

A tear slipped down to my face when I remembered that night. My mom was an angel, she was really an understanding and a caring mother. After she died, I grew up in a dungeon with my dad torturing me every second.

"Alex?" I blinked and wiped my tears away and glanced, and saw Jack.

"Uh Jack? Hey.." I said blankly.

"Are you okay?"

"I don't know. I was just reminiscing about my childhood," I lied.

"Oh, now don't cry you little pussy," he chuckled.

That caused me to chuckle back, then I realized that I didn't cry for months, I just let it all out. Jack doesn't know my dad was a freaking dick, when it comes to this I always cry, I feel weak, I always am.

When I was about to sleep, my phone rang. I picked it up and Rian was calling.

"Alex! Zack and I are in the airport right now, come pick us up, dude," Rian said as I answered his call.

"What the hell? I was about to sleep, damn. Fine, we'll be there," I said as I hung up. I stood up and went to Jack's room. Shit, he's already asleep.

"Jack..." I whispered. He won't move. "JACK!!"

Jack was surprised, "WHAT THE FUCK ALEX!"

"C'mon, we're going to the airport," I requested.

"What? Why?"

"Zack and Rian arrived, dude. Get your ass up!"

"Goddammit, fine." He stood up and changed into his pants. Oh geez, I forgot to change to my pants, I went my closet and changed into my pants and putted on my leather jacket from yesterday.

"Let's go," Jack said as he get the keys to his Sedan.

I was listening to The In Crowd the whole ride while Jack was focusing on the drive, and looks like he's about to sleep.

"I'm really sleepy," Jack yawned.

"Just chill for a second, we're going to Starbucks after we got Zack and Rian, okay?"

"Mkay."

We arrived at the airport and parked onto an empty space. I called Zack.

"Hello?"

"Hey Zack, we're already here."

"Oh good, we're here at the waiting area."

I hung up and we went to the waiting area. We saw Rian sleeping on the shoulders of Zack.

"Pst.." I said to them.

Zack glanced and woke up Rian. "Hey guys!"

"Hey.. Okay, let's go to Starbucks! Our driver is a bit sleepy."

"Oh sure."

"Jack, let's go to Starbucks!"

"Okay."

Now the ride to Starbucks was really annoying, Zack and Rian won't shut up, kept on blabbering about, I don't know, porn?

"Here we are, douches," Jack said.

"Okay then, let's get coffee," I said.

Meanwhile at Starbucks, I was the one ordering while those 3 were sitting. In the line, there was a girl whose shampoo was familiar, her hair was black, like... Tay's. I think it's Tay. I had goosebumps, I have no idea why. Maybe because of excitement..

While it was her turn in the line, well guess what, it was her. I bent my head and looked down to my feet, I don't want her to see me, I look like, I don't know.

"What's the name, miss?" the employee asked.

"Oh, Tay," she answered. Oh my fucking shit, it is her.

"Okay, Tay, please wait until we make your drink."

"Sure thanks."

"Yes, sir?" I glanced at the employee and I said, "Uh, 3 coffee and a Strawberry Frapuccino."

"Okay, anything else?" he typed in the computer.

"Uh, no." I smiled.

"Name?"

"Alex."

"Okay, Alex, please take a seat until we call your name," he smiled.

"Thanks."

I walked out to our table then somebody called me behind me.

"Alex?"
