Caution (Alex Gaskarth) *SLOW UPDATES*

1

*2006* 

So I sit. Waiting for his call. It's been an hour since he last texted saying we needed to talk. He's never late for us. Never misses a call or a time I tell him to be here. I need to talk to him as well and I don't really know how he is going to take my news. 

For the past two years music and Alex have been my life. School was not a concern. It all came easy to me. I had been playing three to four shows a week locally and one or two a month state wide. Maryland isn't a large place but it's still a big deal to me. One night at a show here in Baltimore I was confronted by a rep and the head of Fueled By Ramen. They said that I had talent and that I was the answer to their prayers when it came to female solo acts. So I had no choice but to say yes and sign to them once their contract was read through. 

Yet this news had managed to ellude Alex until tonight.

My phone rings. 

"Jack?" I ask. 

"Hey uh, yea. Um. Alex asked me to tell you that he wants you to go over to his house." He says. 

"Oh...ok." I say and hang up the phone. I rush down the stairs and out to my car. Driving seems like it takes forever. Alex never goes through someone else to talk to me. He isn't covering his tracks well. I try to run through all of the things that went wrong. Did he have another episode? Are his parents getting to him again? I can't think. I just have to drive. 

After what seems like hours, the familiar sight of his house. I stop the car and notice that his parents aren't home. What is going on? 

I pound the door. 

"ALEX!" I yell. The door opens and I see I red eyed Gaskarth standing in front of me. 

"Hey Logan. We need to talk." He says. I slowly step in and look at him. Alex shuts the door and I stand still. 

"Baby there is no point in saying anything exceptt what needs to be said." He says as he rubs his eyes.

"Alex..." I say.

"I'm leaving. For tour...Friday. I'm going to be gone for six months and I don't think it will be a good idea for us to stay together." He says looking to the floor. I stand mouth agape in shock. Wow. The only thing on my mind was me getting signed. I never thought something like this would happen. Why didn't he tell me until now. Two days before. 

"Wow. Why didn't you tell me?" I asked taking a step in the direction of the door. 

"Logan I'm sorry. I was just thinking of a good way to tell you. I didn't see anyother option except to tell you now." He says. I nod slightly. 

"So you're breaking up with me too?" I ask. He nods slowly. 

"I get it. I do. It's not like we had a friendship behind this or anything. I should probably tell you that I'm moving to California after I graduate. I got signed to a label and I start putting together an EP in June. But that isn't your business anymore is it?" I ask with tears pooling in my eyes. He sighs and shakes his head. 

"Logan I don't see another option! We can't pull off long distance! We're too attached to eachother!" He shouts. I roll my eyes. 

"If you're so attached to me then why won't you give it a try?" I retaliate. He looks at me. 

"I won't put you through that and I have to think about me too." He says. 

"So this is really what you want? I just want to be on the same page here I'm willing to try, fight, for you Alex. But if you don't want to be together I'll go my way and you can go yours." I say. He looks at me with bloodshot eyes and a straight face. 

"I'm not leaving without an answer Gaskarth." I say. 

"Yes thats what I want." He says. I nod and stand from the couch. Making my way to the door I stop. 

"I hope you get far Alex. The band deserves it. I just hope you'll try for that." I say before I open the door and walk out of his house and his life. 

*2015*

That was 9 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. No I haven't dated anyone since Alex. I still moved to California and wrote my EP along with five albums and I have a sixth in the works. I have toured with bands by the names of We are the In crowd, Sleeping with Sirens, Paramore, Fall out boy, and opened a few for Panic! At the Disco My life is amazing. I live in an apartment with well...Nobody right now. I don't know what I would do with a big house being all by myself. I see it as a waste. 

By now almost anybody I see on the road would know who All Time Low is and I sure as hell do. I have spoken to Jack and Rian a couple times and Zack texts me often. The only one who I haven't spoken to? Alex. I don't blame him. But yes, they are obviously well known and there have been multiple times where people have speculated that I was with Jack or Zack and I along with them have denied it. I talk to Cassadee most of the time for an update on how the three are doing. Alex can take care of himself. He doesn't need me to care about him. 

The past is the past. I have moved on and now I have an album and hopefully soon a tour of my own. But for right now my couch and Wedding Crashers is what my focus includes. Until of course my phone rings. Great, Hadlee. 

"Hey Hadlee." I say.

"You have a meeting with Grant in an hour be ready." She says. I roll my eyes and get off the couch to ready myself. Grant is the head of Fueled By Ramen. At least the department I'm included in. So I rush my shower because to Hadlee an hour means that you better be ready in half an hour. My outfit consists of a Green Day crop tank and some red shorts to match the heart grenade. I throw on a leather jacket and my converse and walk down to the front of the complex. I start to view my twitter feed. Some fans and some idols. What else is new. Might as well tweet.

@LoganHarper: Can't wait for you guys to hear the new music. I hope you're as excited as I am!

With the tweet sent I but my phone in my back pocket and wait silently for Hadlee. I must have zoned out because before I know it she's yelling at me from the window of her porche. 

"Alright alright!" I respond before getting in the car and taking my trip to this "Meeting"
