The night sky is shining by the light of the tiny stars . It seems like the perfect night. Everything was going according to the plan set by the talented musician. He had an entire night set up of relaxation and clearing his mind.

A little side note here, this man is perfection. Well, actually his name isn’t perfection it’s Gaskarth, Alex Gaskarth to be exact. Alex is a lovable guy that has had his heartbroken repeatedly by the same girl over a few years span. Soon after her, he realized that it’s okay to take a chance on other girls that come his way in this world. On a more personal note, Alex has a different personality than most band guys, here, let me explain. Alex is a sensitive soul, he’s creative, lovable, yet goofy and playful. He stands at roughly 6 feet tall and is 24 years young. He has tousled brown hair that is constantly in his face, sometimes it’s paired with a rough looking beard that only makes him look manlier. He has three tattoos inked onto his touchable skin; the band skull, a skeleton dressed as a skeleton, and a rose with his late brother’s initials. Alex only wants to find genuine happiness in this world in which we call home… Now back to the story.

Alex has had a lot on his mind recently, with the band’s music, touring, feeling loveless. Maybe he’s tired of the party scene and wants to settle down for  a little bit…

That Morning:

(The sound of the alarm rings, only increasing in sound the more it plays)

Damn it! God the fucking light burns…” Alex slowly sat up and smacked the alarm with such force that it seemed like it broke in two. He turned to his left, rubbed his eyes which was followed by a small moan, then got up onto his feet. The groggy morning man went to look into the mirror that was on the other side of the room. On his way he grabbed a white v-neck from the back of a chair for later. Finally reaching the mirror, which was in the bathroom, Alex stared at his face. That perfect face.

“Why is it always me? I mean, I have everything I ever wanted to achieve. How come I still feel so empty. What could possibly be missing from my life to give it meaning?” Alex pondered this thought. After a few minutes he gave up and finished getting dressed, he was already late to practice and the last thing he wanted was questions.

(Alex phone suddenly rings extremely loud playing That Should Be Me by Justin Bieber)

” I really need to change that ringtone” He answers the phone and it was none other than Jack.

“Hello?”

“Alex, are you dead? Did you die?”

“Jack, if I was dead I wouldn’t be talking to you!”

“True, listen, where the fuck are you?!”

“I’m on my way.”

“Bro, are you okay? Having another one of those days today?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh okay, I’ll take the guys out for lunch to buy you more time.”

“Thanks Jack, you’re awesome.”

“I know, you don’t love me because I fuck burritos. Hahahaa”

(Alex hangs up the phone and sits on the curb) Alex dropped his head into his hands. His thoughts were racing a million miles an hour, he had no idea what was going on. Alex looks up and and spots someone walking across the street. Little did he know this girl was about to change his life forever.

A little while later Alex arrived at practice and was greeted by the rest of the band. Everyone was talking at once asking where he was this morning and if he had anymore ideas for music. He hushed everyone at once and simply stated that he was busy and the music is in his car. However, while trying to focus on the new album Alex found it quite difficult with the constant image of this girl running through his head. Jack, being Jack, started to notice that Alex was spacing out a lot… He asked him about her. Alex respond with a single statement, “She stole my thoughts, I need to find her.”
