A wink? Really Alex? Jack rolled his eyes at Alex's not-so-subtle gesture to Parker and strummed the last note of Circles. The crowd erupted into cheers. Jack snuck a quick glance at Parker to see that he was jumping up and down on the balls of his feet and clapping. 

Fucking prick. Jack thought. How could this dude just show up and throw Jack off like this? The guitarist groaned quitely and turned his attention back to Alex. Jack always loved to hear Alex sing. It was one of the few things that calmed him down. When Jack's grandmother died, he went straight to Alex's and the older boy had held him and sang to him until he stopped crying. 

Jack played the rest of their set in a daze and it was over before he knew it. Jack usually never wanted to come off stage, but today he couldn't seem to get off fast enough. As soon as Alex thanked that crowd for coming out again, he ran off stage leaving his confused band mates behind him. 

~~~~~~~~~~

There was always a huge party at Zack's after All Time Low played a show and tonight would be no exception. Jack always loved the parties but tonight he really wasn't in the mood. And you can blame Parker for that. The kid was messing with Jack's head and he didn't like it one bit. Jack needed to put the new boy in his place. 

Parker was leaning against the wall, talking to a guy named Matt Flyzik. Alex was nowhere in sight and Jack was pretty fucking glad. Jack walked right over to where Parker was standing, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him out the front door and into the front yard. 

"Jack, what the hell? I was talking to Matt!"Parker said, irritatedly. 

"Shut up and listen,"Jack growled. "You're new here so you probably don't know this but Alex is mine. You need to back the fuck off of him if you know what's good for you."

"Excuse me? For your information, I have no idea what you're talking about. Alex is a cool guy but I don't like him like that." 

Jack knew right away that he was lying. He could see it in his bright blue eyes. "Bullshit,"Jack hissed. Parker knew that he had been caught in his lie and looked down at his feet, his face growing redder by the second. Jack would never admit it, but he kind of felt bad. Alex was pretty damn irresistable. He didn't blame Parker for liking Alex. 

"You've been warned,"Jack spat and walked away from the other boy.

Parker lied in bed, wide awake, later that night. He couldn't get Jack's words out of his head. He knew for a fact that Alex and Jack weren't an item; Alex would have told him. What did he mean by If you know what's good for you? Parker wondered. He sighed and rubbed his hands over his face. 

bzzt. bzzt. bzzt. 

Parker's phone vibrated on his night table letting him know that he had a text. He grabbed his phone and flipping it open, smiling at the name that was displayed. 

Have fun tonight? -Alex :)

Parker immediately replied with Hell yeah! You guys are amazing! We should do it again some time. :)

Parker immediately regretted it after he hit send. He probably sounded way too egar and was going to scare Alex away. Great. His phone vibrated again.

Thanks! And yeah, we should. I'm going to bed so I'll talk to you some time tomorrow. Night! :) xxx

Parker decided that he didn't really care about what Jack had said. He was allowed to have a crush on a cute guy and there was nothing Jack could do about it. 

Parker found himself humming one of the songs that the band had played earlier, Last Flight Home, as he remembered that little wink that Alex had sent his way during Circles. What did it mean? Was Alex hinting that maybe he liked him? Was it even meant for him? There were a lot of other people back stage. Surely that wink wasn't meant for him. 

But Parker knew deep down that it was meant for him and no one else.
