Enemys to lovers Julex( alex turner x julian casablancas)

Part 3

"You what?!! Alex what is wrong with you! We were suppose to meet the strokes not compete against them! Now we have to battle them in battle of the bands?! And the price is your guitar!?" Yelled Miles inside of Alex's apartment

"Im sorry! I didnt know... the guy was such a douche you should of met him!" Yelled Alex back

Miles sighed and looked out the window

"Fine fine fine, tommorow we'll get the other guys and start practicing Asap. We can do this!" Smiled Miles

The next day Miles and Alex went to Nick and Matts apartment to practice and things seemed pretty tense ever since Miles told them about alex's mistake

"So the three songs that we are performing are Teddy picker, old yellow bricks and fluorescent adolescent" Alex said as he forced a smile

All of the members nodded and went straight to practicing

After 3 hours of practicing they all agreed to do it again a day before battle of the bands.

After practice was finished Alex headed back home and put his work outfit. He actually worked at a local coffee shop near by his house, considering that he still had to pay for his apartment and had no car.

He headed straight into work greeting his co-workers and some customers.

Time went by and as he was about to leave from his shift a guy comes in passing out flyers

"Hey! No soliciting in here!" Alex yelle pointing at the door

"Here" the guy says as he hands Alex a flyer and leaves

Alex looked at the flyer and saw that it was a flyer for..... a strokes show.... Today.

He sighed and put the flyer on his pocket and headed home.

"Should i go?" He thought "it wouldnt hurt to see how BAD these guys are"

He smirked and called up his friends, which happened to also be his band members and told them about the show. They all agreed to go see them since they wanted to see what the competition would be like.

As the night rolled, the 4 guys went to the bar that the strokes was playing and he had to admit there was a quit a few people there.

"Now playing the strokes!" Said the announcer which was assumed to be the bar owner

The strokes started playing and Alex's face went pale.

"Oh god... These guys are good... too good. I cant compete against them! Julian will crush me into pieces... just look at him! So tall... with his greasy hair and leather jacket...."

Alex shook his head quickly at those thoughts. Why was he thinking like that? No way he had a crush on Julian.

After 30 minutes the strokes finished their set, the crowed cheer and they got down from the stage and made their way towards Alex. The rest of the Arctic monkeys had gone to the bar next door since they were all at the peak age of drinking.

"Hm liked what you saw hot stuff?" Julian said smirking

Alex blushed and looked away

"Fine... you're good.." said alex rolling his eyes "but we are still gonna win."

Some of the other band members came over and looked at Alex confused

"This guy giving you trouble Julian?"  Said one them

"Nah" said Julian "He's the one we are competing against next weekend"

"Him?" One of the said laughing

"This scrawnny kid? He looks like he cant even pick up a guitar" said the other as he shoved him "Some guts to challenge us, do you even know who we are?!"

"Hey! My name is Alex! And no i dont know who you are. You play at shitty bars im sure not even 5% of new york knows who you are"

"What did you say punk?!" Said the fourth member getting in alex's face "Say it again and i'll smash you're pretty face on the concrete outside!"

"You cant sing with no teeth" said one of them as he shoved Alex once again

"Take him to the alley and show him a lesson" Julian said as he walked away from his band members

"W-What?!" Said Alex

But before he could say anything else the 3 band members grabbed him and threw him out in the alley in the back

"So you think you're so tough huh?" One of them said shoving alex to the floor

"N-No wait i didnt mean-"

Before Alex could even finish the other member grabbed him from the floor, punched him on the stomach and threw him back on the floor

"Yeah. Dont mess with us! You're lucky we dont throw you onto a lake and let you drown there" said the last guy as he kicked Alex

Julian then opened the door from the bar

"Okay. Thats enough" he said as he motion for the guys to go back inside "Im sure he learned his lesson"

All of them went back inside leaving Alex in the dirty alley on the floor.

Alex got up and leaned into the wall

"Ouch" he though "New york is not treating me well..."

"Alex! Alex!" Said Miles running down the alley to meet with his friend "Some guy told us you here! What happened to you?! Why are you so dirty?!"

"The strokes guys. I said something i shouldnt have said and they.. kinda kicked my ass here"

"What?! Im going back inside and doing the same to them!" Said Miles

"No miles its fine! It wasnt that serious just a couple of scratches is all..."

Miles sighed and got next to Alex

"I love you Alex... i wish we were.. you know..."

"Miles no... you know i dont like you like that..."

Miles sighed once again and leaned in to give Alex a small kiss on the lips

Alex didnt seemed to mind but looked at him upset

"So what is that your boyfriend" Julian said from the shadows of the alley
