My desperate endeavor to find my whoever

13) "Can you keep this one?"

Alex

Erin was really quite adorable when she had her camera in her hand. The shy, quiet but slightly pervy girl we all knew disappeared and this mega confident professional came out. She quietly observed the room around her until she found her perfect moment, then she captured it. The look on her face when she got a great shot was priceless; I need Adam to get a picture of that face. I was too busy daydreaming to notice her camera pointing in my face until she giggled.

"Asshole." I tutted.

"But you look really cuuuuuute...!" she chuckled, showing me the picture she'd just taken.

I immediately groaned. The screen showed a picture of me, staring blankly at nothing with this stupid goofy smile on my face. I really hate her sometimes.

"You're such a dick," I whined.

"Bee-r-bee sharing to facey-bee!"

At first, I didn't understand a word she said, but then it slowly registered. "No, Erin! Wait!" I shouted, darting after her.

She was already a good way ahead but her tittering was all I needed to hear to find her. Eventually, I caught up with her. Erin was sat behind Rian's drums, grinning at her camera, so I snuck up and snatched it from her hands.

"Ha!"

"Joke's on you," shrugged Erin. "I've already posted it."

"Bitch." I tutted.

I checked my Facebook as she left to go and find Jack and, sure enough, there was the picture. My god, she's an ass.

"Aw, young love." cooed Max.

"Love's young dream," smirked Matt. "Such fools i-"

"Go suck each other off." I spat, darting off to find her again.

I didn't have to go far; her and Jack were tucked up in Danny's little 'guitar world' while Danny was sorting everything for tonight, tittering to themselves with her camera.

"Guys, come on," I whined.

"I really fucking like her." grinned Jack. "Can you keep this one, Alex? I think she's a keeper."

"Hear that? I have bestie approval," she smirked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Done with you." I sighed.

Heading back, I realised just how great Erin really is. Not only is she the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, she got on great with my friends. That was my main concern when it came to girls: would the guys like her, and would she like them. For once I found somebody who was an equal balance of the two. Erin loved the guys just as much as they loved her. I just hope I don't do anything to fuck it up again. As much as I wanted to spend every last second with her, we both had jobs to do, and I couldn't jeopardise her chance to do what she loves. I was just about to head back to the bus when heavy panting closely followed by skinny arms wrapping themselves around me made me stop.

"I'm sorry I made you angry." she said quietly, her voice muffled by my back.
"It was a joke, I'll take it down if you want."

I sighed. "Forget about it," I told her, moving around so she was in front of me. "That was just me being a drama queen. I wasn't actually angry."

"Oh..." She blushed. "I just thought... You seemed annoyed, that's all."

"You'll know when I'm annoyed." I chuckled. "It's not a pretty sight."

"Do you turn green and rip your shirt off?" She babbled.

"No that's Zack," I smirked. "I just sorta go quiet and snappy, then I explode over tiny little things. I'll make sure you never see that."

She seemed happy enough with that and nuzzled close to me. She's so fond of that. "As long as you're happy." She said quietly.

"I swear." I chuckled. "Now go hang out with Jack. Someone needs to keep their eye on him."

"Is that not Flyzik's job?"

"Oh come on, he's only one man!"

She let out that infectious cackle of hers which I so adored. I adored everything about her. Erin left the bus and I stayed sprawled on the front lounge couch just thinking. So much so, that I ended up falling asleep. It was only when Jeff came to wake me up 5 minutes before the show that I realised.

"Fuck!"

By the time I got back inside our intro was just starting. I literally had about 30 seconds to calm myself down before we went out. I cast one final glance at Erin; she sent a cheeky grin my way, and I knew everything was gonna be okay.
