Living Under A Paper Moon (All Time Low Fanfic)

Chapter 14

I sat crossed legged on the leather sofa next to Zack tuning his bass. The band were rehearsing some of their new material. I liked the fact that Zack's bass was pink, especially because he looked so muscly and tough and just fucking gorgeous. He smiled over at me as he saw me watching his fingers play on the strings.

"So Stevens, you play any instruments?" Zack asked still playing the guitar. I shook my head honestly.

"Well if you count learning the recorder from eight to twelve." I smiled and he laughed quietly. He was such a nice guy!

"Hey and I taught you guitar!" Jack walked into the room and sat on the floor and picked up his guitar and started tuning his too.

"You failed, I sucked!" I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Correction, you still suck." he smiled and I rolled my eyes. The noises were clashing and hurting my ears but I sat there trying to bare the noise. Zack laughed and stopped.

"Annoying right?". I must have been making a face or something. "You wanna know the basic bass chords?" Zack asked. I still fangirled, I shouldn't but at times when I was being thought how to play bass by All Time Low's bassist, I think acceptations were allowed. He moved closer to me and showed me the chords to "Dear Maria", honestly I didn't sound terrible, especially with Jack playing along with his guitar, still on the floor.

"Not too bad Stevens!" Zack highfived me. He was the only one who called me by my last name, it was weird because out of all of the band he was the one I was least close to because he didn't live in Alex's house. But since everything that had happened with Jack, he'd started calling me "Stevens" too. I didn't like when he did it. It made me feel like we weren't close anymore.

"Okay Bitches, you ready to try out this new song?" Alex stormed in. "Yo Zack, bit too close to my girl there are you?" he walked over to me and kissed the top of my head. Zack's phone rang.

"Hey Celine! Yeah I'm with you're friend right now!" he winked at me and left the room.

"Dude!" Alex through his arms in the air "And where the fuck is Rian? Rian where are you Whore?" Alex shouted. Jack laughed to himself and stood up and plugged his guitar into an amp. Alex picked up his acoustic guitar and started strumming a tune I recognised and sang to himself under his breath.

"Not acoustic Alex! You know I don't like it!" Jack stomped his foot like a three year old. Alex was lost in his own world of the music, he was too adorable! He looked over, saw me and smiled. He put down the guitar and moved his way over closer to me and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed back. I heard Jack put down his guitar and left.

"Fuck this shit." he muttered under his breath as he stalked through the door. I knew Alex didn't hear because it was too low and he wasn't listening to every sound he uttered.

The guy's sounded awesome! They're new material was just unreal. The whole team agreed. Alex had written some pretty awesome shit! The guys decided to take the whole team out for dinner and drinks.

"I'm gonna go put on something nicer one before we go." I said to Alex .

"Baby, you look beautiful. You don't have to change really! Unless you really want to." Alex came over and wrapped his arms around my waist. I stared him in the eyes and did the "Jenna Marbles Face" until he let go and laughed

"You are so insane!" he laughed "Now go get dressed before we leave without you.". I turned to run up the stairs and change, Alex slapped my ass. I turned around and looked at him and he winked and ran.

"Sorry baby!" he screamed running down the hallway and slipping in his socks. I laughed, they really were giant kids. I ran up the stairs, which was almost a workout in itself and saw Rian looking around Alex's room.
