From the depths of my heart, a faint beat...

----------------------------------------

[Alex's POV]

Aunt Renee came to the bar late in the afternoon to start preparations for tonight. I took the time to talk to her about what Lana and the guys mentioned earlier today.

"Woah, hold your horses sweetie! I allowed you to sing with them because I knew you couldn't help yourself without singing. I wouldn't want that beautiful voice of yours to go to waste just because you weren't practicing..." Aunt Renee said while she was working through some papers.

"So I can't go full-time with Lana's band?" I asked.

Aunt Renee turned to me and looked me straight in the eyes. She even stood up and looked closely at my face.

"Lana's band? Sweetie, I know you wanted to spend more time with that hunkylicious Trevor. Out of everyone here, I know how you roll." Giving me a huge smirk as she went back to working with her papers.

"Oh shucks! I really can't hide things from you, can I?" I felt my cheeks heat up. Good thing we were at the far corner of the bar, and most of the crew are busy at the bar and at the kitchen.

"This is a surprise. My cutest nephew ever is not blushing hard as a beet! You seem to look very serious about Trevor, aren't you now?" My aunt teases.

"I just feel safe when I'm with him, Aunt Renee. I just really hope he feels the same..." I trailed off.

"Well I guess I have my work cut out for me then..." A familiar voice suddenly came out of nowhere from behind me. It was then I realized Lana had already approached us.

"Wha-what are you doing here? It's too early for you guys to b-be here! Y-you almost gave me a heart attack!" I blurted out as I checked around if the rest of the band is around. I might as well melt here if you-know-who also heard what I said just now.

"Hey there Lana! Just in time! We were just talking about Alex in the band when he suddenly confessed. Guess you're gonna help my sweetie sort this loverboy dillema, will 'ya?" Aunt Renee greets Lana while pointing at the rest of the guys who are at the stage checking on their equipment.

"Don't worry Rems, I'm totally all for Alex getting along with Trevor! Just the image of these two makes me see butterflies!" Lana jokes, ignoring my presence altogether.

"A-ahem! I'm right here you know!" I declared to both, with a now more prominent blush on my cheeks. I only got chuckles from these women.

Aunt Renee ended up agreeing with me joining the band on a regular basis. She also allowed for the guys to stay at my place on certain days, so we can hang out more and practice. I agreed to getting a bed placed at my living area for Lana, while getting folding beds setup in the corner of the living rom for Eaton and Keith.

"Wait, my bed is good for two people. Someone will be sleeping with me in my room?" I curiously asked both Lana and Aunt Renee.

"Sweetie. Isn't it obvious why we left your bed that way? Do we really need to explain everything to you now?" Aunt Renee impatiently tells me while Lana was already chuckling.

"Alex, of course Trevor will be sleeping with you on your bed! What else could be the reason?" Lana then clarifies.

"W-what? Whatdoyoumean? Can't I sleep with you instead? I'm not that uncomfortable sleeping with girls anyways..." I retorted.

"Sweetie, you choose – Everyone stays in your bedroom, or I put you and Trevor to sleep in the same room? She can always sleep with Keith and Eaton. Those two are total airheads anyways, right Lana?" Aunt Renee asks, with a serious tone this time. Lana on the other hand seems to be very entertained watching my reaction, way too much.
