Living Under A Paper Moon (All Time Low Fanfic)

Chapter 8

The next month was even more perfect than the one before. For the summer I got a job working in a music shop that sold proper music and awesome merch. I also got a 25% discount which was always good for me and merch. Alex and I were going so strong. We spent all of our time together, literally. Everything was going so well and even though I couldn't see why, he loved me for some strange reason and of course I loved him too. We'd just had our official one month anniversary from that day on the cliff. After that, things weren't so good. Alex was back writing for the new album, doing interviews about it, in the studio doing demos, going to meetings and honestly it felt like he had no time left for me. Every morning I'd wake up to a text like: "Sorry baby, meeting with producers then interview with Kerrang magazine and they also want a photoshoot so I won't see you today. Miss you, love you. I'll text you when I have time, Alex xxx." or "Hey sweetie, Matt's booked us a gig to promote the new album in Arizona and will be gone for a few days. Wish you weren't working so you could come! Missing you so much, love you, Alex xxx."  I hadn't seen him in two weeks now besides a half an hour Skype call we had one night while he was in Arizona and honestly I was sick of it. He was home two days now and all I got were two more of them shitty excuse texts. I loved Alex and trusted him with my life but there was a small paranoid part of me wondering were they excuses and he just didn't want to see me. I knew some days he was genuinely busy and as a fan, I respected that but everyday for two weeks was insane! It was really, really getting to me and slowly breaking me down. I decided to take it to the extreme and just go over to his house and confront him if he was there. This boy was really driving me insane.

I hoped out of the taxi and payed the driver plus tip, it felt good to have money.  I stood outside the house my knees barely able to take my weight. I took a deep breath and walked to the door and rang the bell. Nerve-wrecking moments passed before Jack cheerfully swung open the door.

"Sophie!" he shouted excitedly and hugged me, there was still a small part of me fangirling even though now I called him my friend. But fuck did he smell good! "I haven't seen you in so long, it's been weird not seeing that pretty little face of yours!" he was still hugging me and I blushed. and laughed

"Too long almost!" I smiled as we released the hug.

"Alex isn't here though." he pulled an awkward face "He's been pretty busy with writing this album and all the shit that comes with it, he is the frontman so..." he trailed off and shrugged. Part of me felt relieved that he wasn't avoiding me, the other part was upset I still hadn't seen Alex.

"Oh, okay thanks Jack! Tell him I called?" I said politely holding back whatever the fuck these emotions I was feeling right now were.

"No, Sophie, stay! Well if your not doing anything, Alex has been gone since seven this morning and Rian's stayed in his girlfriends place for the last few nights and I'm extremely bored and I could do with a friend to hang around with? And you could see Alex when he comes home later?" he smiled eagerly. I checked the time, four o clock. Hannah was working until nine and had to do storage count so she wouldn't be home until midnight at least, what the hell I thought and I'd get to see Alex later.

"Sure," I beamed "sounds awesome!". 

"Come on, come on you can do it Jack! Knock the shit out of him!" I jumped and cheered on Jack as he aimlessly punched the air. We had had so much fun the past couple of hours I'd forgotten about how much I'd missed Alex. We mostly played video games and ate, but we had an awesome time doing it. We'd tried to make a chocolate cake for Alex, but failed when Jack put four whole bars of chocolate into the microwave for ten minutes and it blew up and almost caught on fire. We decided on going to the mall to buy him a cake but came home with four bags of "Dunkin' Donuts" which we ended up eating ourselves. Finally we searched the freezer and emptied out all the tubs of ice cream and made him a "Frozen Mountain" or as Jack called it "Montagne Glacée" which was French for frozen mountain, but Jack said everything sounded sexier in French. We'd had a Wii tennis tournament and now we were boxing. We heard the front door open and Alex come in. I sat casually sat on the couch when Alex walked in, he looked exhausted.

"Dude, seriously have you reached the extreme sad level of playing video games by yourself?" Alex laughed tiredly. He ran his fingers through his hair. His head suddenly turned to me and his whole face brightened up "SOPHIE!" he shouted and I ran over and hugged him. He lifted up my thighs so I could wrap my legs around his waist and he kissed me. The kiss picked up pace pretty quick, we were hungry for each other. He started kissing my neck and leaving love bites as he kissed down my neck past my shoulder down my arm to my hand. "I missed you so much." he whispered pressing his forehead against mine.

"How come you never great me like that, asshole?" Jack said dramatically and exited the room with the same theatrical performance. We both laughed before reconnecting our lips. He carried me upstairs to his bedroom, never taking his lips off me the whole time. He lay me down on his bed and pulled off his tShirt and got onto the bed passionately kissing me and I moaned quietly. He successfully removed my tShirt and unbuttoned my skinnies and I gave a hand with taking them off. He pulled off his jeans too and we were both left in our underwear. His hands were all over me now and he unhooked my bra and teased me slightly. He kissed from my lips down my body until he reached my underwear and pulled them off. He took off his own and stopped kissing me for a second. A slow smile spread across his face as he looked into my eyes. We both began to moan as he thrusted. His named escaped my mouth through a shout. We both laughed as we heard Jack turn up the music in his room allowing us to carry on as we pleased.
