Arabella Blossom ❥ Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes

Chapter 13

Alex's POV:

"C'mon mate, open up!" Matt said from the other end of the bedroom door. I muffled into my pillow and ignored him.

It hasn't even been a whole day and I miss her so much. I can't imagine her being with someone else, and I can't imagine me being with any other girl.

"It's not gonna get better lockin' yourself in your room Al, we have a gig in 3 hours mate!"

"Ugh..."

I slowly emerge from my bed and rummage through my wardrobe for something. I picked out my black skinny jeans, my maroon button shirt and my black vans. I have never been this casual for a gig before, but it was comfortable. I walked into the bathroom to start doing my hair, perfecting it with a quiff hanging off the top of it. I grabbed my phone, put it in my pocket and walked out, my head hanging low.

"Arabella?" Katie asks.

"Mhm." I say, holding back tears. 

"Come 'ere" She says, pulling me in for a hug.

"I don't know what to do Katie, i'm really fucking depressed!"

"Awh baby, months fly by, you'll see her in no time!"

"But we're not together anymore and she won't be happy to see me!"

Katie pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"She still loves you. And I know you still love her too. If you're really that desperate, you can go back to Sheffield for a couple of days when we have the extra days off! Everything will work out, I promise"

She pulls me back in for a hug, rubbing my back.

"C'mon boys, gotta do soundcheck!" The manager calls.

"Already done!" Matt replies.

"Wait... who's the support act?" Nick calls.

"No idea! We'll have to wait and see" Jamie replies back.

---

Well,

The support act was shit.

Some band named,

The Primary Colours

Sang the most sappy songs, horrible melody, but now it's us. The hum of violins start and we start to walk out, waving to the crowd.

The familiar drum beat of "Do I Wanna Know?" came on, and I picked at my strings, strutting around the stage.

~Do you want me crawling back to you?~

The song ended and the loud sound of Brianstorm came crashing down. Lights were flickering, fans were jumping and screaming, there was even a sign, saying

4 Margaritas?

Which made us laugh. 

Knee Socks with Josh Homme was awesome.

Reckless Serenade was bliss.

Then it came to Arabella.

"So did anyone buy our new album today?"

I was replied with a bunch of screams claps and cheers.

"This one's dedicated to a girl in my life.... it's called Arabella"

~Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots

And a helter skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly
