Got Your Heart In My Hands [ATL Fanfic]

Chapter 2

(Val's POV)

I walked on to the tour bus and was greeted with the faces I loved. Jack the first to give me a hug. "Hey guys!" I said and hugged him back. "Are these next few months gonna be the greastest or what?" Jack shouted. I nodedd, smiling. I looked over at Alex. He looked like he was faking his smile. Jack walked away and sat on the couch. "What's wrong Alex?" I asked. He shook his head and walked away. Hmm weird.

"Alex this is your bunk." Flyzik said pointing to the bottom bunk on the left. "Val." he said pointing to the one above it. Oh great my bed is above Alex's. "Jack." he pointed to the one across from mine. "Zack." he pointed to the one under Jack's. He moved to the next set. "Mine." he pointed to the bottom bunk on the left. "Rian, you're above me." he said. "And Vinny, you can have which ever one he wants on that side." Flyzik said then sat down. 

"Cool." I said with a smile. And we were off. "So Val, how did your brother deal with you leaving? I know he hates us." Rian said. I sighed. "He doesn't hate you guys." I frowned. "He woke me up screaming at me, asking why my bags were packing. When I told him he freaked but he's fine with it now. He just doesn't want to lose me like...." I trailed off.

They all knew about my parents. We met the night they died actually. I went crazy that night. I got drunk and was walking the streets. They found me asleep on someone's lawn. Thank god they found me. Who knows if I would of been killed. We became instant friends after that. I owe them big time for saving me. 

I didn't realize Alex had been hugging me. He knows exactly how i feel since he had lost his brother. I hug Alex back for a few seconds before he let go. I also didn't notice tears forming in my eyes. I tried my best to make sure they didn't stream down my face. "Enough with sad stuff." I said quietly. "Let's party!" Jack shouted and that's exactly what we did.    

...

The last few days on the tour bus have been a blast. We are making our first stop today and I am totally excited. I sat with the guys as they were signing things for their fans. I just sat there smiling and chatted with some of the fans. Finally it came time for All Time Low to perform. "Val." I heard Alex's voice and turned to him. "Yeah Alex?" I asked. "Would you like to sing Juliet's part in Remembering Sunday?" he asked. "I know you have a wonderful voice." he smiled. 

Me sing? On stage? No way. "I don't know Alex..." I said. I was very shy and didn't even like singing in front of my friends. "Come one Val. You're an amazing singer." he said stilling smilling. "Please?" he pleaded. I sighed. "Oh alright." I said then bit my lip. He went on stage and began playing. 

I was shaking. I don't know if I can do this. I paced back and forth back stage. They started to play Remembering Sunday and I started to panic even more. Alex paused. "Please welcome my good friend, Val!" he said and everyone cheered. I took a deep breath and walked on stage. I smiled at all the people in the crowd, and there sure was a lot of them! Jack smiled and me and gave me a microphone. I walked up to the center of the stage were Alex was at. 

Juilets part was up and I took a deep breath. The words seemed to flow out of my mouth. Everyone seemed to enjoy my singing and it made me smile. The song ended and everyone was cheering like crazy. Alex looked at me. "Give it up for Val!" he shouted and everyone was clapping. "Thank you!" I said and waved to them before walking off stage. 

I felt like I was going to pass out. I was having such a rush. They liked me! I grinned. Then I felt arms wrapping around me from behind. "You were great!" Alex whispered in my ear. "Thanks." I said smiling. I turned around and was face to face with Alex. We stood there staring into each others eyes. I had butterflies in my stomach. I love his brown eyes. He leaned in slightly but jerked away. He stared at me for a few seconds and walked away.
