*Jack's POV* 

"Give me therapy, I'm a walkin' travisty. But I'm smilin' at everything..." 

I watched intently as Alex sang our song into the microphone while 10,000 people watched him every move. I was watching his every move and he seemed to take notice. He looked over at me and smiled and I could feel myself blush as I looked down and strummed the next chord. 

'God, he looks adorable,' I thought to myself. I quickly pushed the thought away when the crowd started screaming his name. 

"Thank you guys so much for comin' out tonight! I enjoyed playing for you and I hope you had as much fun as I did!" Alex said into the microphone. The crowd screamed in reply. 

"Be sure to buy our new album! It'll be out next week!" Alex said. 

"Yeah! Do it! It's pretty kickass and if you down't buy it I swear to god, I will eat your children!" I said into my own microphone. Everyone laughed. 

"Jack, you're a sick fuck. You know that right?" Alex laughed. 

"Yeah I know. But thats why you love me!" 

Alex put his guitar down and walked over to me. The crowd screamed because they all knew what was coming. I knew what was coming but it still startled me when it happened. 

Alex's lips crashed down on my own. We held it like that for about three seconds and the crowd went nuts as they always do when Alex kisses me at shows. You'd think I'd be used to it by now but every time it happens, I get butterflies. 

Alex pulled away and gave me a hug. When he pulled away from the hug, he smiled at the crowd as Zack and Rian joined us. We all took one final bow and blew kisses into the crowd. 

"Love you guys!" Alex said. The crowd chanted our name: "ALL TIME LOW! ALL TIME LOW!" and we all ran off the stage. 

Matt Flyzik tossed us all a bottle of water as we headed back into the green room. 

"Great job tonight, guys!" Matt said as Jack and I sat down on the couch and Rian and Zack sat down on the floor, leaning their backs against the wall. 

"Thanks bro," Rian smiled. 

Alex changed his position so that his feet were propped up on my lap. 

"God, Alex. Must you put your smelly ass feet on me?" I groaned. 

He smirked, playfully. "Yup! What you gonna do about it Barakat?" 

I shrugged. "Nothing. I'm too tired to give a crap about it." 

"Hey, me and Rian are gonna head back to the hotel to get showered up before we go out tonight. You guys comin?" Zack asked, standing up. 

Alex laid his head back against the arm of the couch. "Nah. I'm gonna stay here tonight. How bout you, Jack?" 

"I'm stayin' here, too. I need a bit of bro time." 

Rian shrugged. "Suit yourself," and he, Zack, and Matt all filed out of the room. 

'Finally. I get some time alone with Alex. Maybe I can finally tell him how I feel tonight,' I thought but when I looked over at Alex, he was already asleep. I sighed and watched his chest move slowly up and down.  

'Why must it be so hard to tell my best friend that I love him?'
