"Oh come on!" Alex whispered loudly, slapping the phone in his hand. That and the bright light emitting off the device caused Elizabeth to wake up. She groaned and turned over to her side, facing Alex. "Are you alright?" She asked, getting Alex's attention.
"Did I wake you? I'm sorry, love!" Alex exclaimed.
"It's alright," Elizabeth said, "Now what's the problem?" She asked.
Alex looked back over to the phone in his hand, "Well I can't get off this bloody thing." Alex said as he whacked the device again.
"You know hitting the phone won't do anything." Elizabeth said.
"You never know." Alex said as he gave her a playful grin.
Elizabeth then snatched the phone out of his hand and looked at the screen.
"Why are you looking this news article?" Elizabeth asked as she began to read over it,
Alex Turner has been spotted on numerous occasions recently with his drummers (Matthew Helders) sister, Elizabeth Helders. The pair had been seen together, looking in love, and a relationship between the two is speculated. But little do most of us know, they have been around each a lot other long before that.
Alex and Matt being childhood bestfriends means that Elizabeth would have been constantly around his brothers best friend.
Old images have recently resurfaced of Alex and Elizabeth together, and we can't help but think of how much of a cute couple they would be.
Elizabeth scrolled down and looked at the images of her an Alex when they were younger. Some were from Christmas, others from new years and gigs they'd played. But there was one photo that made Elizabeth smile softly.
It was Elizabeth and Alex at the school dance, he held her close and their foreheads were resting against each other's, the both of them smiling brightly, their lips inches apart.
He had kissed her right after that photo.
"Where did they find these photos?" Elizabeth then asked, wondering how they got their hands on so many photos that she herself doesn't even have anymore.
Alex shrugged.
Could Elizabeth be the mystery woman that Alex had been writing about almost his whole life?
Elizabeth pressed the home button and turned off the phone, handing it back to Alex.
"I can only imagine how Matt will react when he sees that." Elizabeth said.
Alex sighed, "I know, and I'm sorry."
"You don't need to be sorry, it isn't your fault." Elizabeth said.
"I just wish they could back off, creating stories out of nothing." Alex said.
The two sat there in silence for a moment until Alex spoke up.
"I can make us some sandwiches if you want? Just the basic stuff, bread, lettuce, cheese, tomato, ham."
"Well haven't you established cooking skills since I've been gone." Elizabeth said, smiling as he walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.
Alex began to make to make the two breakfast, as Elizabeth watched the TV in the living room. Once Alex had finished making the sandwiches he took the plates of food over to the living room table, sitting next to Elizabeth. The both of them pick up their sandwiches and
"You know we're almost finished our album." Alex spoke up, breaking the short silence.
"That's great, have you recorded any songs yet?" Elizabeth asked before she took a bite out of her sandwich.
"Yeah, we've done almost all of them in fact. Only a few more to record, and the good thing is, with all the ones we've recorded, we've had next to no overdubs." Alex stated, happy about the progress the group has made.
"Well, when do you think the album will be released?" Elizabeth asked.
"I dunno, maybe in a month or two, have to chat it up with the boys." Alex said.
Elizabeth nodded and smiled softly, so proud of how far the boys have come.
"I've actually made an album, like solo, just me. Well it's more like an EP." Alex said.
Elizabeth quickly downed her sandwich, almost choking on it.
"Turner, that's awesome!" She exclaimed, "How have I not heard about this earlier?"
"Well it only released it about a month ago... Its a soundtrack for a movie." He said.
"I'll have to get it on vinyl then." Elizabeth said, still shocked at how Alex had made songs for a movie, it's a great achievement and she couldn't be more proud of him. Who would've thought that the guy that was so shy with his singing, asking Elizabeth to be the lead singer would actually end up being him.
"Well, how's you with the singing?" Alex asked, "You know I can get in contact with some record labels and you could get a deal, you've got talent!" He then added.
"You know, me singing is kind of getting old." Elizabeth spoke up, "I don't see the thrill in it anymore. Perhaps playing at pubs for a few years ruined it for me."
Alex frowned at this statement. She were so talented and he wished that she could go further so then they could possibly tour together, and have a good time as 'famous rockstars'
Whenever he thought of being famous in a rock band, he'd always thought that Elizabeth would be there too and when he looks back on it at times, it feels weird that they weren't sharing a stage like they used to do so often.
"But Liz... You're so talented, please don't waste it... I'd always thought that we'd be famous rockstars together, running away from the paparazzi and spending money on stupid crap." Alex said, smiling as he reminisced on the past, where him and Elizabeth were merely 14, dreaming at the future and what could be. Who would've thought that they are were they are today and had managed to tackle all the challenges along the way.
"Well technically we already have ran away from the paparazzi... But I don't know.. Wouldn't it get old?" She asked, "I mean, if I do end up being successful it wouldn't just be about the music anymore, it would be about me. I mean I've seen you guys on TV, seen you in magazines, newspapers. That's cool and all, but I just would want to do the music part of it, not the interviews, constant photo shoots, and all that." Elizabeth said.
Alex nodded, "I guess at times it can get annoying, but that's all a part of it." He said, and after a few seconds he spoke up again, "Just do what you think is best, Liz." He said simply.
Elizabeth smiled softly and nodded.
The two finish their sandwiches and spend the rest of the afternoon shifting Elizabeth's belongings into some random boxes, getting the moving process started.
They soon come across some old pictures and smile, looking back on the those much simpler times, where they were young, dumb and broke.
"I remember that, we were in Cornerstone!" Elizabeth said, smiling happily.
"And we all bullied Matt's terrible attempt for trying to get himself in the photo." Alex added, and the two begin to laugh, looking at Matt's eyes wide open in the corner of the picture.
Alex and Elizabeth continue to look through the pictures, looking back a certain pictures with the group, and others just her and Alex. "I
"I can't believe you got all these printed." Alex said, holding up a picture and looking at it.
"Yeah well, it was good times and I wanted to look back on it and remember how much fun we had." Elizabeth said, smiling at the picture in her hand.
It's her and Alex together, holding up their drinks, arms around each other, looking as if they are laughing. Elizabeth showed him that picture and he smiled too, taking the picture out of her hand and examining it closely.
"We'll have to recreate that photo again someday." Alex said, and Elizabeth smiled.
"Of course."
As Elizabeth continue to sift through the pictures, she found a photo of her smiling at the camera, but Alex looking down into her eyes, completely unaware that a photo was being taken. He was smiling down to her, with this look of love in his eyes.
And suddenly Elizabeth remembered that day ever so vividly, recalling the memory and regarding it as one of the best days of her life.
She had so many good times with Alex, and she was so glad that he was back. She thought about how in most of these photos they were both hiding how they liked one another, and it's so evident that there is love by the way they look at each other. Elizabeth was so grateful that these moments were captured for her to look back on, and she wondered what happened to those feelings she had so long ago. Perhaps she still had them? Those feelings that made her look at Alex in a different light, having this lustful desire to place her lips on his once again, wondering what they tasted like... If they still tasted the same. Last time she remembered it was a mix of toothpaste and well... Him. She wondered if he still tasted like him, or had he kissed too many other girls that he was gone.
Suddenly Elizabeth realised what she were thinking about and she shook her head, picking up a different photo.
Snap out of it, she thought to herself.
