Jesse works at a small time coffee shop, but soon gets hired as a guitar tech for a band. She doesn't know anything about this band, but she will soon. She meets Alex in her store and hits it off with him, and she soon finds out that it is a small world after all. These are her touring adventures with Alex and the band.
Also, this story is dedicated to a story I read a while ago. It was removed from this website by the author, but it was titled "Take off your Colours" and it made me really happy. It was just so relate-able! The title of this story comes from the Foo Fighters song "The Pretender" and it will be mentioned.
I don't own any of the people, bands, or songs that get mentioned in this story. Enjoy!

Tell Me You Love Me {Jalex Fanfic}
Jack's always hated Lisa. High school was shit enough without her. She was nothing but a cruel bitch to him when he was decent to her and he was sick of it. Being nice wasn't working. So, it was time to take more drastic measures. She won't feel so tough without her boy-toy next to her all the time. And Jack knew just how to wrap Alex around his pretty little finger. { Before some of you get mad about me using Lisa, I just wanna say I mean no offence, I highly doubt she's like this in real life, but for my story she is. She's just a character here. So don't be upset and I hope you like it. } ~Also this is a series with 2 out of (hopefully) 4 books published. So be sure to read the other part(s)!Complete

And Tell Me You Love Me (Jalex)
Alex Gaskarth is a nobody. He's just one small speck that walks the world alone and barely makes it by. He's lived off of his parents ever since he graduated, but now that they've moved back to England and left him in Baltimore, he's barely able to pay to put food on the table. He doesn't have a job (and doesn't care to get one) so the only way that he's able to make money is playing guitar in the local park, but what happens one day when he's approached by a stranger who just so happens to also be a part of the richest family in Baltimore? Jack Barakat is a somebody. Being one of the four children of a wealthy industry owner, he pretty much has enough money to buy whatever he wants and more. He enjoys having money, but there's one problem... Eventually the money runs out and the fact that his father has an obsession with alcohol and his mother is addicted to cocaine isn't helping any. He thought he could have all the fun being rich, but he's at the point where he realizes that the money will eventually get to your head and he wants out of that life. That's when he stumbles across a man playing guitar in the park. That's when he realizes that he may get the chance to live "normally" for once. This is a story I am cowriting on mibba.
