DIRTY LAUNDRY - ALEX GASKARTH

4

i sat down in alexs basement as the guys all talked amongst themselves.
"alright jasey you ready to rock?" alex asked me, speaking into a microphone covered in duct tape.
i smiled and nodded, laughing a bit.
they started singing a song called circles, and i was loving every second of it.

they four guys finished and i smiled, clapping.
"that was really good!" i said.
"thanks!" jack said excitedly, jumping around
"what time is it?" i asked, squinting at the tiny clock on the wall.
"oh it's like 8:30. why, curfew?" rian asked

my heart dropped to my chest.
"i gotta get home" i said quickly, standing up and grabbing my bag.
"we'll take you no worries" zack said quietly
"thanks" i said worriedly.

we all practically sprinted to the car, especially alex, who looked extra worried.
"s-sorry about the rush by the way" i said quietly once we were all in the car
"it's totally fine. jack likes speed!" jack exclaimed and then hit the gas on the car so hard my body threw itself forward, making alex grab me by my waist and pull me close to him.

"holy fuck!" i exclaimed and then cringed, whenever i said the slightest swear my dad would beat the shit out of me.
alex still had his arms wrapped around me and he started to laugh, "jeez jasey!" rian exclaimed

i laughed a bit, shaking my head.
we finally pulled up to my driveway.
"thank you guys so much tonight was awesome uhhh" i said, trying to think of what to say since i was in such a rush so dad wouldn't freak
8:45...
"yeah thanks uh see you in school maybe?"
i grabbed my bag and practically threw myself out of the car and sprinted down the driveway and to the side of a house where a tree was.
i had been using it to get in and from my room lately when my dad was yelling a lot.

i started climbing and realized the guys were watching me in awe as i reached the top of the tree and slipped through my bedroom window, winking at them as i left their sight.
