Everything Personal (Jalex Fan-Fiction)

Shopping

[At the airport: Rian's P.O.V.]

"When are they gonna be here?!?" Alex and Jack whined at the same time. We were at LAX, waiting for Cassadee, Jenna, and her girlfriend; Abby, to get off their plane. They had been delayed back at their connecting flight in Benton, Illinois.

"They’ll be here soon I promise," I replied calmly, though my heart was racing with anticipation, anxious to see Cassadee. I missed her so much, “In fact, there they are now!” I said allowing the joy to erupt in my voice and facial expressions this time.

“I missed you so much! Gosh that was a nice flight; the stewardess was a huge fan of Tonight Alive so we got great treatment!” Cassadee said slightly giggling, “I’m just kidding. The stewardess’ were horrible, snobby, preps. They hated our music and thought they were better than us. AND I was stuck next to some fat, hairy guy, who kept farting,” Cassadee stated matter-of-factly.

“Hey! I’m not that hairy!” Jenna laughed dragger her suitcases behind her walking, hand in hand with a slightly shorter girl, with shoulder length neon pink hair, and black spider-bites, resting closely together near the left corner of her mouth, “This is my girlfriend Abby,” Jenna gestured towards the small girl nest to her. Hah, she’s wearing a boner t-shirt, she must be a fan of us, “Abby this is, Jack, Alex, Rian, Zack, and Matt.”

“I know. I’m a big fan,” Abby said with a shy smile. She was very quiet.

”It’s nice to meet you,” everyone said, not at the same time, but you know what I mean.

[Alex’s P.O.V.]

“Let’s go check you into your hotel rooms,” Rian said, taking Cassadee’s hand in his and walking; catching up on all the couple-y shit. Not that I’m jealous, I thought trying to convince myself.

“Hey, Lex! Helloooooo?” Jack said waving a hand in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“What!?” I asked sounding a bit harsher than I had anticipated.

“What do you think of Abby? She’s cute right?!” Jack rambled in my ear, “Jenna’s really lucky to be in such a good relationship, I guess they’ve been going out for four months now,” Jack continued. Wow, four months, that’s a long time for Jenna, “Abby plays guitar too!” Jack said excitedly, the joy showing in his deep brown eyes. Jack had always liked meeting new people.

“She is pretty cool!” I finally admitted when Jack stopped talking to catch his breath. Rambling is a lot of work I guess!

[At the hotel: Still Alex’s P.O.V.]

“Kay, so now that you’ve settled in, I think it’s time to tell you,” Matt started, “We have been planning a capital ‘G’ Giant party to celebrate the tour ending and its tonight. I hope you all have party clothes, cause this is gonna be the shit,” Matt exaggerated, throwing his arms about in the air.

“WOOHOO! Partayyy!” Jenna screamed turning to Abby and laughing, obviously embarrassing her in front of us, she’ll warm up to us eventually. I thought as I laughed and talked with Zack, Rian, and Cassadee about the party details.

“So the party is at Winston’s, the hugestest, raddest club ever!”  Zack squealed, breaking from his usually quiet, manly composure. It wasn’t a big shock to us, we’d all been friends for years but Abby on the other hand was flabbergasted at his sudden outburst of excitement.

“Jenna, I don’t know what to wear,” I heard Abby say from behind me. I spun around to face her.

“We’ll take you shopping,” I said gesturing to Jenna and myself.

“WAIT. Shopping?” Jack ran up behind me wrapping his arm around my shoulder making me smile and blush slightly, “I wanna come!” he said and we told the others we were going shopping and we’d meet up at the club at 9:00, an hour before the party started.

[Shopping: Alex still hah.. yeah]

“I don’t want anything SUPER fancy,” Abby said, finally warming up to us. Maybe it was cause we were in a smaller group, who knows.

“OOHH! I know where to go!” Jack said. Jack didn’t seem like the shopping type but he always knew the best place to buy something , whether it be churros or hairspray, Jack was your man, “Here!” he said gesturing to a small corner store that lead into a fairly shady looking alley. The sign outside the door was a giant UV light with the words ‘Punk Radar’ twisted into the lights. It was a lot bigger on the inside, Hah Timelord science! Wow I’m a nerd… Anyway, the clothed inside were all patchwork dresses and leather vests, jackets, and even pants. There were shirts lining the walls, Blink 182, Green Day, All-American Rejects, etc. This place was rad, how did he find it?

“Where did you find this place?!” Jenna questioned Jack, obviously as dumbfounded as I was.

“I don’t know. Magic?” Jack said looking around for other people here, there was no one. All of a sudden a short girl with black and red hair walked out wearing an avenged sevenfold hoodie and purple faded skinny jeans. Her hair was up in a messy bun and her thickly rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, “Piper!” Jack said and ran over to greet the short girl, “Guys, this is my friend Piper. She’s Chelsea’s cousin,” Jack said. Chelsea was Jack’s ex. We all hated her. Even Jack hated her now; she cheated on him with one of her little brother’s friends. He was 17. It was gross, “Don’t worry guys. Piper hates her too,” Jack laughed as Piper nodded.

“OhMyGod. This is adorable!” Abby squeaked from across the giant clothing store, “I’m gonna try this on!”

“The dressing room is over there,” Piper gestured to the back corner of the large room, where a big black curtain was raised with white Christmas lights hung around it.

“We’re looking for a party outfit for tonight,” I said, “you should come! It’s at Winston’s at 10,” I offered.

“Cool. I’ll be there, thanks for inviting me!” she said smiling brightly. I don’t know why, but Piper was someone you just couldn’t help but like. First impressions I guess.

“You look beautiful!” Jack said as Abby came out of the dressing room with a black corseted dress on that fanned out at her waist. It had pink lace at the end that matched her hair perfectly. It was strapless and went down to just above her knee. Jenna looked at her and her jaw just dropped.

“I think this is the one!” Abby laughed looking at Jenna’s mouth agape. We paid and left reminding Piper about the party tonight and gave her all of our phone numbers even though she already had Jack’s.

“PARTY TIME!!” Jack yelled as we set off to the hotel to get ready.

Not edited. THANK YOU TO AbigayleDawson (MY BESTEST FRIEND) FOR LETTING ME USE HER NAME!!
