Disclaimer: I don't own All Time Low, only the plot.
Summary: Jack confessed his hidden love to a girl called Steph who was touring with her band, will her decision to tell Alex that their secret is out, backfire or work in their favour.
I lay awake on the our tour bus, head spinning, i needed sleep, tonights show had really drained me, i must have made the impression that i wasn't one to be partying, but i was, just not tonight, we had a big show and i was - just a few hours ago, bouncing up and down on stage, thrashing and strumming, admiring the large banner that screamed (metaphorically, it was just in really big letters) "Reckless Afternoons" at both the crowd, Jordan (our drummer), AJ (he plays bass) and Thomas (the lead guitarist), they were all what seemed like mimicking my head banging, Joe was getting into it and jumping around, being his regular self.
When we first started this band, it was mainly based around All Time Low, us as individuals bonded over how strongly we felt towards that genre of music and how we liked the fact that ATL seemed to be the best one to play that sort of music. But it turned out, somehow we had joined not only PTV, but ATL too on House Party Tour, it was fucking amazing, but opening for PTV was long, Vic wasn't feeling to well so we went overtime and played 4 more songs than we had originally planned, for us, that was a whole concert and we had never headlined before, or played a real 'concert' with that many songs and it was wearing me out pretty fast, especially today.
"Alex, Alex where are you, we need to fucking talk about this" i heard ATLs stage right lad shouting at the bus, no-one was on here but me, it was our tour bus too, i slipped out of my bunk and saw a red eyed, most likely drunk and looked like he was about to pass out Jack Barakat barely standing in front of me. "Jack, this is Reckless Afternoons tour bus, if your looking for Alex I'm sorry i cant help you, you'll have to ask one of the others" i peered through the curtains outside to revel a bonfire and happy campers around it, with a lot of beer and shouting and shots being downed very quickly, sighing i scanned to tour bus again trying to locate my Uggs and beanie, i figured Jack would leave after me telling him that it wasn't his bus, to no avail. I was about to pick up my Gk. hoodie when i heard a thud, i turned around "Jack, are you okay" he had collapsed on our couch, thats fine, he could stay here for now, until i found Alex, and i grabbed my planned things and walked outside and went up to Meagan and whispered "Hey, have you seen Alex anywhere, Jack is passed out on our couch-" she shook her head and laughed "Nothing new for Jack" i smiled knowing it was true and re stated my original question, "Have you seen Alex?" she nodded, slurring something like "He said he was going to sleep don't ask me"
Alcohol wasn't Meagan's friend, we found that out on the first night here when Mike got her drunk, i handled it pretty well, i had grown up around it, i knew what it had done, so i wasn't going to attempt to get so hammered that i was in a state like Jacks ever again, i had woken up with a shocking headache and a show to play, i slept till 2 and did the show and then crashed when my head hit the pillow after a signing with the fan base, it was an intense day, all i could feel throughout my sleep and the concert was my heart in my head and feeling like i couldn't feel my feet, i promise myself to not get that smashed on this tour again. The shows were important to the band.
I trudged up to ATLs bus and knocked on the door, knowing Alex was in there after hearing Mario Party playing the background, he opened the door with a sad smile on his face motioned me to come in, "So Steph what brings you to the home of ATL?" i laughed, even when Alex was sad, he knew how to cheer others up "Nothing much, Jack is passed out in our bus again and he smells like expensive vodka" Alex laughed, but not an innocent laugh, but a cruel laugh, i didn't bother questioning him, i knew it was none of my business anyway "Theres some over there if you want any" i walked up, heard him laugh at my attire, i turned around flipping him off and grabbing the bottle and taking a nice large sip (as AJ liked to call it, he actually downed half the bottle) "Hey thats expensive" he grabbed it out of my hand and placed it on the table next to him protecting it "Well hey, so it the couch your best friend is laying on in our bus, but you don't see me complaining about it" I knew the fault in that sentence as soon as it slipped out, The horrid taste of vodka erupting from my stomach as i swallowed it again "Actually thats why you came in here to tell me to come and get him again, Right?" i could deny that "Yeah, i mean last time i tried that it didn't end well" he had groped me, which i wasn't the least bit comfortable with (then, now was a different matter) "If you want him out, you can go and get him, I'm playing this" and with that i nodded at how oblivious Alex was to how in need i was of help, but how in need Jack was of a friend, slipping out of the bus, i stormed back to mine, ignoring the snide comments from my fellow tour members about how Alex and i had sex, they all knew it was impossible, i don't know why they bought it up.
I entered our bus and didn't bother taking off my Uggs knowing i had to use them again to walk/carry Jack back to his own bus, i leaned over Jack, his hand immediately reaching for my chest, he didn't know what he was doing and i wasn't about to stop him so i continued moving him to a standing position and he flopped back down on the couch, i knew i could carry him, i mean alex could do it, so why couldn't i? I picked him up, but he put his hands around my face and kissed my lips, his mouth tasted like the expensive vodka that i had downed eariler, perfect mix, i didn't push him away but after a few moments he moved back and stated in his drowsy state "I love you Lex, I'm sorry i slept with her, i wont happen again" my eyes widened i smiled at how cute they were as a couple momentarily forgetting that Jack had to be out of this bus before i would get any sleep, so i picked him up (easily) and walked out of our tour bus and pass the drunken stories fire pit gathering and onto ATLs bus, i whispered harshly to Alex "Move over Alex, now!" he looked over at us and aw'd,"Funny i was doing the same thing a few seconds ago for the same reason" i blurted out, No, i shouldn't have done that, Alex was absorbed back into his game enough for me to be let off without him hearing, i kicked Alex's legs and made him move, he groaned and made room for Jack, i said "Are you and him together" Alex froze, "No, what gave you that idea?" he said harshly enough "Jack said some things and did some things" i wasn't about to tell him that he kissed me, no way! "What did he say Stephanie?" Ouch he used my full name, how'd he know that? I must remember to not tell people my full name next tours, "He said some stuff Alex, ask him when he wakes up, i don't care anymore, I've got a big show tomorrow, i just need some sleep" i said in a soft tone "Okay, well fine!" he as loud enough to wake a stirring Jack from his drunken passing out phase "Jack!" we both said at the same time, accept mine was laced with care and Alex's was laced with hate. What was Alex going to say? Shit.
