My Only One [Alex Gaskarth]

Christofer Drew

The sound of punk music along with beer cans cracking open filled my ears. I smiled slightly, I haven't had much fun in the past week. I've been huddled in my bunk the entire time. It was actually nice to get out. "Molly! Daniela! How you ladies doin?" A set of tattooed arms wrapped around mine and Molly's shoulders.

It was my good friend, Christofer Drew, lead singer of nevershoutnever. "Christofer." I smiled. 

"Ah, m'lady." He smiled back and pulled me in for a hug, "Where have you been? I feel like I have not seen you recently. Whys that?"

"She's been camped out in her bunk." Molly replied for me. "I'm going to grab a drink. I'll see you guys 'round."

"Something been botherin ya?" He asked me, concerned. I smiled small. Christofer was always so caring about everyone.

"Eh." I shrugged. "Yeah. But I'm here to try and get over it. Wanna grab some drinks?"

"Definitely." He smiled before pulling me over to the coolers. 

Christofer and I hung out for a while. Drinking, laughing and telling pointless stories. I haven't felt so happy in quite a while. It was kind of great.

"Daniiiiiiiii." The familiar voice behind me dragged out the I.

I turned around and smiled. Oh no. If he's here.. That means he has to be here too.

"Hey Jack." I smiled.

"Where've ya been the past week?" He slurred. 

"Uh, just keeping to myself." I said, awkwardly tapping my fingers on my beer can.

"Well, I've missed you tons." 

"Missed you too." 

"Who's your friend?" He nodded at Chris.

"Jack; this is Christofer Drew, of nevershoutnever. Christofer; this is Jack, of All Time Low."

"Sup." Jack nodded at him again.

"Hey." He said. The awkwardness was killing me. But before I could come up with an excuse to leave, another familiar voice called. "JACK."

"WHAT." Jack turned around. Up ran Alex Gaskarth.

"Hey, man. Have you-" He made eye contact with me, stopped, then shook his head and looked back at Jack. "Have you seen Rian? Cassadee keeps calling me. Saying it's important."

"No, man. I haven't."

That's it. Eye contact. Shaking of the head. Really Alex? Fucking really?

"I'll come with you to look for him. See ya later, Dan. Text me soon, okay? Nice meeting you Chris."

The two boys walked away and Christofer nudged me. "Dani, you okay? You don't look too hot."

"I'll be fine.." I said, before downing my alcoholic drink. 

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. Hand me that bottle of Jack Daniels, will ya?"

It was now around midnight. The music a bit louder and the people a bit funner. That's not a word, is it? Eh. Who cares? Not me, that's for fucking sure. Tonight I was partying with my friends. I didn't give a shit about Alex who was currently making out with some chick who was too short for me to even see.

"Who are you looking at.. Oh." It was my friend Vic Fuentes, lead singer of Pierce The Veil. "Dani, look, you really shouldn't let him bother yo-"

"He's not bothering me, Vic. I'm just looking." I snapped.

He held his hands up in defense before looking over at Alex and his mystery girl. As he looked, I held my cup up to my face and took a huge gulp. Things were getting super blurry for me. And I wasn't exactly controlling my actions any more.

When I pulled the cup away from my face, I heard a gasp escape from Vic's mouth. Before I could look up and see what he gasped at, he wrapped his arm around me and turned me around. "Vic what's wrong?" I asked.

"Eh- uh- nothing. Come on, let's go dance." He said nervously, walking us towards the dancing people.

"Vic what are you trying to hide?" I asked, getting out of his grasp. I turned around to see the girl Alex has been kissing was Molly. 

"That.." I started.

"Dani,"

"SLUT." I shouted, walking towards the two.

"No ya don't!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me back, "Look, Dani. Don't get yourself worked up about this."

"VIC! SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I LIKE HIM. SHE KNOWS WH-"

He put his hand over my mouth to stop me from saying anymore. "Come here," He whispered, pulling me into his chest. He hugged me tightly and rubbed my back as I began to sob onto his shoulder. 

I stood there for a good five minutes just crying my eyes out on Vic Fuentes. I felt terrible because I'm sure he wanted to help but didn't really know what to do. I don't even know what to do.

Molly has become my closest friend on this tour. I told her everything. Everything. And now she's going to make out with Alex? Right infront of me?! After she encouraged me to come to this party and try to win him back. Really? Fucking really?!

"Come on," Vic said, taking a step back. "I'll take you back to your bus."

"Wait," I said, "Can I do something first?"

"What?"

I looked at him, then Alex and Molly, then Vic's drink, then them again. "One second." I grabbed his full cup.

I walked over to the two, laughing at someone one of them said. By the time I made it up behind the two, his lips were on hers again. I poured Vic's drink over the both of them. He quickly shot up and they both looked at me. 

"OH MY GO- Dani." Molly said.

"WHAT THE FUCK?"

I just smiled, waved and walked back to Vic. "Let's go now."
