Breakout (All Time Low Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

Chapter 12. 

On Tuesday, Alex, Rian, Jack and Zack flew to Los Angeles, California to meet up with their record label for their EP. I was sad that I won't be seeing them for a whole week but I'm kinda relieved because I don't know how to face Alex. Right now, I was hanging out with Samantha. We were both at the park, hiding in the tunnel. I told Samantha what happened between Alex and I the previous day. 

"Well, do you like him?" she asked. 

"Promise not to tell anyone?" I said.

Samantha nodded. 

"Yeah," I sighed. "I like him a lot." 

"I knew it!" 

"What?"

"Come on, Mar. It's pretty obvious that you like him. You practically drool over him everytime you guys are together."

I hit Samantha's arm. "No! How is it obvious?" 

"First off, you blush whenever he talks to you. Second, you haven't taken out that flower in your hair since yesterday when he gave it to you." 

I crossed my arms over my chest, scowling at her. "No. I took out the flower yesterday when Alex showed up at my house."

Samantha rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Suddenly, Samantha's phone rang. 

"Hello?" She answered, her voice filling the silence in the tunnel. There was a pause before speaking again. "Oh, hey Jack. How's LA?" I heard muffles from the phone, which meant Jack was speaking. "Really? That's awesome! He does? Okay." Samantha handed me her phone. "Jack wants to talk to you." 

I furrowed my eyebrows but took Samantha's phone. "Hello?"

"Marie?" It wasn't Jack. It was Alex. 

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing much, we have the release date for the album."

"Awesome. When is it coming out?" 

"July 25."

I raised my eyebrows. "Why so late?"

"Just in time for Warped Tour."

"You're playing it?!"

I could feel Alex smile through the phone. "Yep! 2006 Warped Tour!"

"Oh my gosh, that's so awesome! I'm so happy for you guys."

"Plus I'm taking you with us. Plus Samantha." 

"You don't have to."

"I want to."

I smiled. "Okay."

"Are you still thinking about coming on tour with us for spring break?"

"Maybe."

"Please, Marie."

"I don't know, Alex."

"Well, I have to go now. Talk to you guys later. Bye."

"Bye."

We both hung up and I gave Samantha her phone back.

"What did Alex ask you?"

"He wants me to come on tour with the this spring break."

"Then go. I'm going."

"But Sam, I have my chess competition, remember?"

Samantha scrunched up her nose. "Oh yeah. And you can't miss it."

I shook my head. "No. It's important."
