He woke up the next morning with a small headache. "Argh.." he groans, touching his forehead. He turns over looking at the time on the clock; 12:35PM it read. "Bugger.." he mumbles picking his groggy self up off the bed. As soon as he's up, he looks at himself in the small mirror on top of the worn dresser, he realises he's still in his clothes from last night, he doesn't bother to change, he just makes his way back into the other room. "Matthew?" he calls, wondering where his friend is. He wanders around the seemingly empty room until he sees a small note on the small coffee table,

hey, al
you're probably wondering where i am, the lads and i went for brekkie at a wee cafe down in the town, i didn't want to wake you, i know how much you like yer beauty sleep.
-Matt :)

and then he saw another small note underneath the other,

oh and the cafe is called "Ben's"

He sighed, it hurt him a little bit that they left without him, i mean i were asleep he says under his breath. He saunters back into the bedroom and gets changed into a fresh pair of clothes, he doesn't bother with a shower, he'd get one when he came back. He didn't bother to comb his hair, either. So it looked at little raggedy. After that he made his way out the room, he jogged down the stairs and made it to the reception,

"Where are you off to in such a rush, mister?" the voice made him stop dead in his tracks, it was her, it was Jas. He doesn't know how to reply so he just nods at her, "Not that talkative, are ya?" he feels his cheeks go red as he replies, "not really, no." she chuckles, "where ya headed anyways?" "A cafe, i think." he pauses, "Ben's?" her face lit up and her eyes sparkled, "I fucking love that place!! Mind if i join?" she asked, in response, he shakes his head, he doesn't mind her coming, in fact deep down he wanted her to come. She took the hint and jumped over the small counter, "I'll drive."
she announced. "Okay," Alex replied

Once he was in her car he felt a little uncomfortable, just because of the fact that he's never really talked to her, or gotten to know her, something alex likes to do beforehand. However as soon as she stuck on the strokes he instantly found their connection. "you like the strokes?" he asked. She gave him a sort of DUH!! look before saying, "Oh my god! Yes! They're my all time fave band!" he responded with, "They're my favourite, too!" he smiled. She also smiled.

The rest of the car ride was in silence, not an awkward one though, a comfortable one, they were enjoying each other's presences and the music. Jas pulled into a small space on the side of the road, which happened to be just outside of Ben's. She they walked in together, alex scanning around for his friends, who of which are at a table near the back. Alex saunters his way over to them, Jas following his lead.

"He's aliveeeee!" Jamie calls

"Shut up, Jameh," alex says, but he can't help the small giggle that escapes his lips.

"You're with 'im, too are ya?" Nick asked Jas. "Yep, i am." she replies.

The rest of breakfast (well, brunch, really.) went by fairly quickly. The whole time Alex had his gaze set on her, he couldn't remove it. she was ravishing. in his mind she was the gleaming stars in the dark night sky, the chandler to his joey, the green to his grass. he's pretty sure he's falling head over heals for her.

a/n: sorry this is kinda short :(
