Nightmares (Alex Gaskarth X Reader)

~Chapter 9- The First Show~

A/n: y/i= your initials

I woke up at like 12:00 only because
Alex was singing "you interrupted my sleeping thank you very much." I groaned "you're always welcome." He grinned "just be happy I'm not somewhere else blasting my guitar." He smiled "if you did that I would scream and unplug it." I said "no you wouldn't...admit it, you like it when I play." He said cockily "maybe I do, maybe I don't." I smiled "are you jealous?" He asked "I gotta admit, it does kinda make me feel like an untalented person when I sit here in bed most of the time and you're here being such a good singer and playing guitar." I said "you can sing." He said "what the...no I can't." I said "yeah?" He said "come here." He said dragging me out of bed and into the room where he keeps all of his music stuff. He grabbed a guitar and plugged it in and I knew exactly where this was going. "You aren't gonna get me to sing one of your songs." I said "uh huh yes I am...just do it pleaseeee." He begged "okay fine, what song?" I asked. It was one of the songs we screamed earlier...it was Painting Flowers  "you expect me to be able to hit your godly notes?" I asked "get close at least." He said "uhh okay fine." I sighed.  At first I was tense but I just let the music Alex played take me over and I just let go and started singing. I was doing good until I messed up and my voice cracked "fuck." I groaned "heh it's fine." He said   "Anyways...we have to start getting ready for tour." He said "one more song?" I asked "okay...what song?" He asked "Guts." I smiled "okay then." He said. I got through it without voice cracks "say you can't sing one more time I dare you." He said "now we have to start getting ready." He said "how long is tour anyways?" I asked "like two months." He answered "oh." I answered "I'm gonna take you to get some brand new stuff...it's your first tour with us since we've been together, I wanna make it special for you." He said "pretty sure touring is already special, but oh well." I said. When we got done shopping and got home, I went to pack while Alex went over something with the guys at Jack's house. It was only the beginning of the week and I was extremely tired from last week, so I decided to take a nap and try to wake up before Alex got home. Unfortunately, since I was so tired I ended up waking up when the sun was starting to go down...yep Alex had been home for a long time. "Fuck." I muttered "do you know how hard it is to pack for two months?" Alex asked "umm...." I answered "we have the whole week don't we?" I asked "um...we're leaving Thursday." He said "well shit...I guess since I've already gotten enough sleep I'll just start getting ready now." I said "whatever you wanna do." He shrugged. I groaned and tiredly got out of bed "you gotta get used to this." Alex said "right, right." I sighed "if it's putting extra stress on you just leave me here." I said "I wouldn't leave you here all alone for two months." He said "you've done it before why would it be so hard now?" I muttered. This week I could tell Alex was stressed, but who wouldn't be? I'm worried about two things, the first one being Alex meeting my dad, and the second one being that I gave in to Alex after he begged me to come on stage with him at the end of every show, I'm just worried about how they're gonna react because most of them seem to hate me for no reason. Thursday came and we left early in the morning, but things got off to a rocky start after Jack dropped one of the guitars while loading it...and of course his dumb self didn't close the case right, next, the driver said the bus was dirty and wasted time washing it, and then they all just started arguing about what time they should've left and how they wasted time. "Your first show isn't until tomorrow why are you so worried?" I asked "I wouldn't be talking if I were you." Jack said "oh and why's that?" I asked crossing my arms "because you have that perfect life that everyone only dreams of." He said "what perfect life?" I asked "don't play dumb with me y/n, your life is perfect because you're dating the lead singer of a band. I hope you remember you're only here because you're with Alex." He yelled "who said everything was perfect?" Alex butted in "every girl has a dream of dating someone famous." Jack answered "hey, can we all...I dunno, drop it?" Zack said "tour got off on the wrong foot but we don't have to fight about it." Rian sighed "ugh fine whatever." Jack said "why are you such a bitch?" I muttered. I sat down on a couch and watched tv, deciding to completely ignore anything one of them said. Alex waved his hand in front of my face and kept saying my name. "What?" I asked "I'm sorry Jack said that earlier." He said "it doesn't even matter." I groaned "I understand he's a bitch sometimes." I sighed "at least he's busy trying to fix that guitar he broke." I said "would you even be surprised if I said that he breaks one almost every tour?" Alex asked "honestly, no." I answered. I guess all the guys made up pretty fast, because that night we all ate pizza and watched movies until we fell asleep. In the morning, it came back to me that this was the first show, meaning the first time I have to come out with Alex. Later on a little bit before the show, I was just sitting there when I felt someone writing on my arm with a pen. I looked around and saw that Alex was writing something on me and smiling "what are you writing?" I asked "you'll see." He said covering what he had written with his hand "just show me." I sighed. He moved his hand away and I saw what he had written on my arm "if lost please return to AWG" "aww." I smiled. I grabbed the pen and wrote "if lost please return to (y/i)" on the same spot he had written mine. "I don't have to say anything tonight right?" I asked "if you don't want to." He said. Time came and their show started. As time went on, I got more and more nervous. And then, I heard my cue to come. "You guys, I would like for you guys to meet (y/n) in person!" Alex smiled. I decided I would talk tonight "hello everyone." I said with a big smile "we've been together for almost eleven months now, and let me tell you, everyday with her has been so different." He said "but you know, something that really disappoints me is when you guys are mean to her...what do you have against her?" Alex said "if you don't like my choices, keep that opinion to yourself...because I love her and I don't give a shit if you don't." He yelled. He handed the microphone to me, and I had no idea what to say "I-I'm speechless honestly...everyday with him is just so amazing and I love him so much, it's just such a blessing to get to be with him, and I don't even know what to say except...I love you, Alex...more than you'll ever know." I smiled "also...we have a little thing here and I just really fuckin' love it." Alex said. We both moved our arms so they could see what we wrote on each other's arms earlier. He leaned down to kiss me and then thanked everyone for coming. It went surprisingly better than I thought, because everyone cheered and screamed after we showed them our little writing...I'm not sure what to call it to be honest. I guess it wouldn't be so bad after all.
