A Certain Romance

The "Girlfriend"

A/N: I'm sure Alexa Chung is not this mean.

Today was the day. I'm gonna go see Alex Turner on stage. Performing. I really hadn't thought of what a big deal this all was, from what I had seen his band did have fans. I was just some random person who he happened to run into and now I had a backstage pass. I remembered I sent him a message last night and I went to check if he had replied. He had.
Glad it was to your taste. Don't forget to be here by 2 ;)
I couldn't explain it but that winky face made my heart skip a beat. I read the message again, shit. I had forgotten he said to be there beforehand so that I could to chat with him before the actual performance. I looked over at my clock, how was it already 11? I thought. I only had about 2 hours to get ready so I threw on a tank top, some jeans, my converse, and my jean jacket. I quickly applied some eyeliner and rushed out the door to make sure I would arrive by 2. Once I had finally reached the venue I took a moment to regain my breath and I realized there were already some people waiting in line. I really hadn't expected any fans to be so eager. As I walked up to the security guard at the door and flashed him my badge I could hear some whispers about who I was. I made my way inside and realized Alex hadn't told me where to meet him inside. I reach for my phone to text him when I hear
"BOO," I jump a little as I realize Alex snuck up behind me.
"Did I give you the fear love?" He asks.
"You wish Turner," I reply.
"Say that all you want but I still felt you jump," he laughs.
"Ok maybe you did give me a little spook. But only a little," I admit.
He laughs and says "Sorry I realized I only told you to meet me backstage but never how to get there, come head then."
I follow Alex and we soon end up in a semi small room with seats and a table.
"Feel free to grab any refreshments they're on the house as you Americans say," he tells me and I thank him.
"So where's the rest of the band?" I ask.
"Can't I be selfish and keep you to myself for a bit before they show up?" He asks me.
"Sure but I would have thought that they'd be here by now I mean-"
I get cut off by a raspy voice shouting
"ALEX LOVE I'M HERE!"
"Bollocks," I hear Alex mumur before going to open the door. Once he opens the door I see a woman immediately attack him with a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Um y/n this is Alexa, Alexa this is my... friend y/n" Alex awkwardly says.
"Huh," Alexa says then rolls her eyes before saying, "I'm Alexa Chung you probably know who I am and you are?"
"I'm y/n and uh I've never heard of you before, am I supposed to know who you are?" I ask and she scoffs.
"I'm THE Alexa Chung, you know the famous british model?" She snaps.
"I'm not much into fashion so I wouldn't really know sorry," I reply and she looks me over before saying,
"Yeah I can tell."
"Well ladies it's so great that you've met, but Alexa if you don't mind I was planning on hanging with y/n alone," Alex explains. Alexa gives me one last glare before chiming,
"Sure I know when I'm not welcome but don't forget you promised to go to the party with me tonight Alex~"
She sharply turns and walks off her heels clicking behind her.
"Sorry about her I completely forgot she was flying over to see us," Alex says while rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's alright she was... interesting," I tell him.
"Alexa can be a bit much and she has a jealousy problem but she won't admit it." Alex says rubbing his neck.
"So you're dating-"
"God NO," Alex cuts me off.
"Sorry just, she wants to try but I've made it clear multiple times I'm not interested. Just not my cup of tea."
I nod understanding and I change the subject to get Alexa out of Alex's thoughts. A little while later I hear the door open and see a bunch of guys walking in. So this is the band, I think to myself.
"Y/n these are the lads, lads this is y/n," Alex introduces me.
"Is this your girlfriend then mate?" one of them asks.
"Don't be daft Nick, we're friends," Alex says to the guy I assume is Nick. I don't understand why I feel a bit hurt that Alex calls us friends.
"Ignore those idiots, I'm Matt and that over there is Jamie it's nice to meet ya."
"It's nice to meet you too," I laugh.
"Well lads enough banting let's go on up yeah? We've got a show to do," Alex announces. As they begin going on stage I hear the door open again and see Alexa walk back in. She walks up next to me and side eyes me as she stands to watch the band.
"So y/n are you going to the after party?" She asks.
"No, I wasn't invited so I don't think I'll be going," I respond.
"What a shame EVERY one is going to be there," she says sadly yet smiling. Before I can say anything she adds on,
"Listen, I don't want to ruin your little dreams and I don't know what Alex has told you, but we're kind of a thing, so you should stay away and know that you two will only ever be friends alright love?"
I scoff before replying "Me and Alex's relationship is none of your business, and Alex has already told me that you two don't have any sort of relationship, alright love?" I add mockingly. She only glares at me more before returning her attention back to Alex on stage. I decide to ignore her and turn my attention to the stage as well. Alex is totally different on stage, something about him is captivating. I become lost in the music as they begin playing and I lose track of time. Then as soon as the concert begins it's over. I hear Alex yell out,
"Thank you all we love you, goodnight!"
I see him walk over to me but before I can say anything Alexa captures Alex in a hug.
"You were so amazing love!" She exclaims.
"Thanks Lex, so y/n what did you think?" He immediately disregards her and asks me.
"You were all so amazing, I was captivated by everyone's performance!" I excitedly tell him. He seems to smile even more hearing me say this. Before Alex can reply to me Alexa once again interrupts saying,
"Alex love you should say bye to y/n we need to get going to the party, you are my date after all."
I roll my eyes and Alex says,
"I told you I'm not your date, and if you must know I was actually about to invite y/n to the party. So y/n what do you say, are you coming?"
The guys cheer on and I cave in saying "yeah I'd love to go." Alexa stares at me fuming as the guys cheer on. We all make our way into the van and head off to the party with the band singing along to every song on the radio. We arrive at a house and all head inside to where the party is happening. The music is blaring and I could hear it before we even walk in. Alexa shoves past me and drags Alex with her as he soares one last look at me.
"I wouldn't worry about her, she's really not as threatening as she looks," Nick tells me before walking off. I'm left alone and I decide I may as well enjoy the party since I'm here.
