I Found The Music In You (M2M)

Encore

What is inside the heart will always be heard and felt.

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

[Alex's POV]

After our last song, we settled at the same spot where we got drunk last night. However, this time Lana overseen the handing over of drinks. We wouldn't want an encore of last night - or do I?

Lana decided to have Trevor sit with me. It really feels like something is bothering him. And with the few bottles he's already downed earlier tonight, I feel that any moment now he will fall for the count.

Since I feel a little bit more worried than earlier, I decided to be nosy about it and asked Trevor.

"Tonight, was also a great night for the bar, right Trevor? Though I noticed you seemed distant tonight. Anything wrong?" I asked finally.

Trevor looked me straight in the eye. I can still see something ablaze inside his eyes, but they feel colder now. He finally answered when he noticed how genuinely worried I was.

"To be honest, I can't really explain it. I guess I just feel tired today..." He looked down at his bottle, then drank it in one go.

And with that, Trevor dropped dead on the spot again. Meanwhile, Keith and Eaton seem to have their alcohol in check because of the girls who were drinking with them at the table beside ours.

Almost an hour later, Keith and Eaton decided to drive the two girls home. They said they'll go straight to their place after dropping the girls off. Of course, Lana suddenly became worried if those two will do something stupid, so she decided to come along with them. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with drop-dead Trevor, and I think I'll need to carry him again upstairs.

I had one of the kitchen crew help me carry Trevor upstairs. I guess I can let him sleep with me on my bed tonight since the living area still looked a bit thrashed.

Now for the difficult and strange part - I need to take off his clothes and shoes. I obviously don't want him dirtying my bed of course!

Focus Alex! This is not something to be very bothered about. It's very normal that you need to take off his shoes and button-down his shirt...

I started taking off his shoes. He seems to have bigger feet than I expected. Next, I nervously walked up to start buttoning down his shirt a bit.

But just as I was about to take the first button down, he started moving! It's a good thing neither Lana nor Aunt Renee is here or else they will see my face go as red as my hair right now!

I ducked beneath the bed and waited for him to settle down. When he starting snoring again, I carefully stood up and hastily went through his shirt. Thankfully he didn't move again...

I made a quick trip to the bathroom to freshen up and brush my teeth. After that I carefully slid to my side of the bed. At least I know the person beside me is very much asleep - I really don't think I'll be able to sleep with Trevor beside me like this.

I rolled around to face just to check if he's sleeping okay. I can clearly see how peaceful his face looks. And then out of nowhere, my hand started to reach out to his face.

I sensed his face turn even calmer than earlier. I somehow wished we stayed like this, until I noticed him mumbling something.

"...A...lex..." He silently called. I then felt my face started to heat when I realized he's calling my name. Out of panic, I rolled facing away in case he suddenly wakes up. Thankfully his breathing calmed down again. When I felt he was deep in sleep again, I slowly rested and went to sleep.
