We Go Together Or We Don't Go Down At All (Band Fanfic)

Chapter 23 - Alex's POV

"I don't know what's prettier, your name or your smile." I overheard some guy say. He was probably just looking to get laid tonight, what poor girl is he trying to sweep off her feet? I looked up from a hoodie I was looking at to see a random guy and an annoyed Sydney.

I glared at him and then I realized what that guy was doing to Syd and who that whole string of compliments were directed to. I walked over to Sydney and discreetly shot that douche a glare. I was filled to the brim with jealousy right now and ready to knock the daylights out of this asshole.

"Hey Babe" I said while walking up to her. I looked at the guy she was talking to, he wasn't that bad looking, but he's not going to get my world, not if I can help it.
"Who's this?" I asked Syd.

"I'm Brian." He gave me a look and went right back to talking to Sydney.
THIS MOTHAF-

"So, Sydney, we should maybe go out sometime, i'm free tonight. Maybe I can hear more of that cute laugh of yours."

"Who do you think you're talking to?" I said. "How can you still stand here and hit on her while her boyfriend is standing right next to her? And what makes you think she wants to go out with you anyway?" I was ready to beat the shit out of this guy.

"You're her boyfriend. I thought you were just some guy who spends most of his time away from her. With a lifestyle like that, she's bound to leave you. I'm just trying to save her before that happens and she spends her nights crying because her so called boyfriend never had time for her." He said with venom lacing his voice. I almost punched him until Syd intervened.

"Ok, I think it's time you walked away and hit on another poor girl." Sydney said and led us out of the store.

I pulled her closer to me and held her tight. She started to rub circles along my back in an effort to calm me down. We started to walk to the care and it seemed like every guy in this mall was looking her up and down. I just held her tighter and glared at anyone who was looking at her like 'that'.

We got into the care and drove back home. It was a silent ride and I played the scene over again in my head. What if he was right? What if we do breakup because she feels like i'm never there? It was painful to think that could happen, but with all the time I spend doing tours and interviews, I couldn't blame her.

We got home and decided it we should make some dinner and sleep as I had to leave the next morning for a tour.

After dinner, I went and watched some tv while Sydney went to go get ready for bed. I decided to turn off the tv and go upstairs. I stopped halfway when I heard Syd crying. I immediately felt guilty and wished I had knocked the shit out of that guy back at the mall. First of all, how dare he make my girlfriend blush like there was no tomorrow and second of all, how can he sit there and make her giggle like a school girl? My guilt was replaced with anger and soon replaced by a comforting hand on my cheek.

"Babe, forget about him. No other guy can compare to you. Unlike him, you make my heart beat out of control and you make butterflies litter my stomach. I love you." She kissed me and I kissed her back like it would be the last time. No one was going to take her away from me and no one was going to hurt her. She was mine and I was her's and that's all that matters to me.

That night, I woke up from a nightmare to top all my nightmares. I looked next to me to see that Syd was still sound asleep next to me. Thank god that nightmare wasn't real. In the nightmare, we had fought and she broke up with me and the next time I saw her, she was getting married to that bastard from the mall. The last thing I remember screaming was Sydney over and over again.

"Alex, what's wrong?" Syd said half asleep. "Did you have a nightmare?"

I told her about it and she pulled me in for a hug. "Lex, why on earth would you think that? Last time I checked, I see you every fucking night in my dreams. It's been that way ever since I was a fan. I'm not going to leave, I don't want to leave. I want to spend forever with you. I want to be the one you wake up next to every morning. I think it was cute when you were being protective of me because I know you care too much. No one's gonna steal me, not for diamonds or gold."

By this point, she was awake. She tightened her grip on me and I wasn't letting her go anytime soon.

"Pierce The Veil, Y/N?" I laughed.

"Well it's true." She giggled.

"Hey Syd, I love you."

"I love you, too Alex."

Yeah, I'm not letting this one go.
