Stupid And Fearless (All Time Low)

2-Kid's Got Spunk!

Alex's P.O.V.

"Any chance you're employing?"

I looked over this James guy, he was still a kid, short hair, kinda tall but still shorter than me. His big brown eyes seemed begging and honestly I knew what I wanted to say, but the decision really wasn't up to me, after all, the only thing I do is sing in this band...

"Aleeeex can we keep him?! Pleaaaasssse?!" Jack said, as though he were a four year old pleading for a new puppy. He had already made his way closer to the kid and had an arm around his shoulders.

"You know we got to ask Matt, come on, let's try and find him before the show." We were playing in an hour, you'd think that was plenty of time but Matt is incredibly tough to find, unless you're late somewhere, then he finds you In like zero point two seconds.

While we walked around the festival grounds, getting stopped every few by fans for pictures and hugs, we decided to get to know the newcomer a little. "So," I started, " what your last name James...?"

He looked down for a moment, hesitating. " I don't really know. I've changed too often to care." The way he spoke, like we were talking about his favorite color or something completely un important had me wondering; what happened to this kid? But I could hardly ask him that here and now.

"Look, I know you guys are curious and I get it but I have no idea who you guys are either, so how about I get a turn at asking questions?"

"Sure, go ahead, ask away!" Jack had a big grin, he loved this whole situation maybe a little too much.

"Well for starters, you're in a band?" Wait, he really didn't know who we were at all?

"Yes!! Our band's name is All Time Low, have you ever thought of being in a band yourself? Believe me, it's the way to go. We get sooo many girls! And-"

I cut Jack off.

"What Jack is trying to say is that we like our job a lot." I glared at my best mate, I knew he wasn't being serious about the girls thing, I still felt like it sounded rude. "We're lucky to have toured around the world a few times but that was mostly thanks to our manager, Flyzik, that's the guy who we're trying to find right now."

Jack pointed towards me, "what he said."

"So are you guys together together or are you just really close?" He asked with a grin. This kid sure had some spunk.

After fake choking a bit I answered, Jack was laughing to tears. "NOooo! We are both very straight and love our girlfriends!"

Jack was returning to himself, "yeah and it just happens every now and then that Alex here gets lonely in his bunk and-"

"And it's about time you shut up Jacko cuz I could always talk about that time behind the stage when-"

"Guys! Calm down, next question! Do you... Do you think Matt will let me stay?" He seemed worried, like really worried.

"Have you got anywhere else to go?" I asked, unsure if I really wanted to hear the sad truth.

"Not really, I mean, I can't go back... I guess I didn't really think any of this through."

"Don't worry, I'm sure Matt can figure something out."

"What am I supposed to figure out?" I turned around surprised, there stood our beloved Flyzik, clearly in a rush.

Jack jumped up and down excitedly, "We found a stray, can we keep him?! Please Matt?! I promise I'll be good!"

James just took a step forward and shook Matt's hand, "I'm James, I'm looking for a job and-"
