One Million Branches

Part Eight

All Time Low and Of Mice and Men.

“Alex!” I screech.

He turns around and runs up to me. He spins me around and I laugh.

“I missed you so much!” I say hugging him again.

“You didn’t miss me?” I hear behind me.

I turn around and see Jack sitting there with a pouty face.

“Of course I missed you boner boy.” I say hugging him.

“Where’s Zack?” I ask looking around the band members.

Two hands pick me up from behind and I know exactly who it is.

They set me down and I turn around.

“Zack!” I say hugging him tight.

I pull away and Austin approaches me.

“Hey Liz!” He says giving me a hug.

I smile and hug him back.

“Happy Birthday by the way!” Jack yells.

I shake my head and everyone starts singing me happy birthday.

I back up to Tony and he interlocks our fingers again.

Jack gives me a creepy smile and I roll my eyes.

Everyone checks in and I mess with Tony’s braid as they do that.

We all head back upstairs and Tony, Jaime, Vic and I go back into our hotel room as the other boys go to theirs.

Tony and I go to my room and I close the door behind us.

We lay on my bed and cuddle up next to each other.

Tony turns on Star Wars and we start watching it together.

My phone buzzes and I grab it from the sweatshirt pocket.

I unlock my phone and see a new text from Jack.

Jacky-poo: So did you hit it yet?

Liz: What are you talking about?

Jacky-poo: Tony! Did you guys bang yet?

Liz: omfg no Jack. I don’t even know if we’re dating.

As soon as I sent that last message Tony’s text tone went off.

He pulls it out of his pocket and smirks.

“Was that Jack?” I ask.

He nods and types a message back.

Liz: What did you text Tone?

Jacky-poo: You’ll find out later.

Liz: I’m not going to talk to you until you tell me.

Jacky-poo: Guess you’re gonna miss talking to your best friend then. I LOVE YOU. Bye ;)

I sigh and plug my phone in.  

I press my head to Tony’s chest and close my eyes.

He kisses the top of my head and I drift off into sleep.

I wake up the next morning and see that Tony already woke up. So I immediately get in the shower. I get out put on a pair of jean high waisted shorts and a muscle cut black key street shirt. I put on my makeup, do my hair, grab my phone and then go to into the living room.

I see the boy’s all sitting on the couch with their eyes glued to the TV.

I sit down next to Tony and he kisses my cheek.
