“Hey everyone, sorry about before just sort of going through a rough time right now but to start the acoustic show off how would you all feel if I played Remembering Sunday?”
Fans smiled and some screamed and began to take pictures.
“I wouldn’t care if you cared.” He laughed. “No I’m kidding, this song is dedicated to Roo who is just standing off to the side right over there to the front” he looked over at her with a smile on his face taking off his beanie fixing his messy hair throwing it her way to hold it.
“He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past 2 in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs”
Roo smiled and put it on her head moving away some remaining pieces of stringy hair from her face, Alex glanced over and laughed a little bit but continued to sing the song not once did he take his eyes off her.
“Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in
Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me”
After the song ended the fans cheered, Alex smiled leaning over once he got to the edge of the stage kissing her softly on the lips for a second grabbing the water bottle laughing into the mic.
“We just face battled” He said into the mic glancing over at Roo still with a lopsided smile as he moved some hair out of his eyes.
“I get to face battle Alex next!” Jack shouted into the mic.
Alex broke the glance looking at Jack and laughed talking into the mic, “Dude you do it all the time” Jack’s head instantly fell sighing into the mic.
“It’s true, sometimes it’s not a pretty face to look at.” Jack laughed.
Roo shook her head at what Jack had said, Alex laughed talking back into the mic.
“Alright lets finish this shit”
After the acoustic show Alex jumped off the stage taking a few pictures with some fans signing a few things for them before walking over to Roo wrapping his arms around her waist a smile on his face kissing her cheek lightly.
“What would you like to do?”
“Go back to the back lounge”
Alex sighed nodding a little bit, “Alright, you’re not hungry?” he asked as they started walking back onto the bus.
“No”
Alex nods, “I’ll take you back onto the bus then I’ll go get something to eat and come back and we can just chill together, sound okay?” he asked.
“Sounds good” Roo said stopping in front of him putting the Beanie back on his head and sighed as they got to the bus.
Alex smiled, “We can snuggle and watch a movie, you can pick.” He said kissing her softly a second, “I’ll be back in about 15 minutes.”
“You should, it’ll be Transformers 3”
Alex smiled hugging her, “I’ll be back” he said kissing her forehead as he backed away opening the door for her making sure she gets in there okay once she was inside he closed the door taking out his phone dialing Lisa’s number putting the phone up to his ear.
“Lex everything okay?”
“Yeah, hey Lisa I’m going to go grab a bite to eat and I was wondering if you could come onto the bus with Roo make sure she’ll be okay till I get back.”
Lisa smiled, “Sure, I’ll be there in just a second”
“Thanks”
Alex sighed walking away knowing Jack and Shay wouldn’t be back for a while since they haven’t had any alone time and would just want to be left alone not really blaming them he found a stand noticing Jack there with Shay he only stepped in the line not saying anything to them.
Roo was left alone on the bus she sulked in the back lounge going through a few baby things they had bought she picked up a little outfit that Alex had bought when the warped first started she smiled weakly touching it as she looked through other things hearing the door open slightly not looking up to see who was on the bus tears were streaming down her face.
“Roo” Lisa said standing in front of the doorway.
“We only have another week”
Lisa sighed walking inside fully and over to her, “I know” she replied. “Holly will soon get what she deserves.” Lisa said quietly.
“How can someone feel nothing about taking an unborn child’s life away” Roo hugged her and started bawling.
Lisa hugged her taking out her walkie talky, “Someone get Alex Gaskarth he’s needed on the All-time low bus” she put it down hearing someone reply.
“We’re on it”
After a while of waiting the door to the bus opened Alex walked to the back lounge to see both girls sitting there Roo bawling her eyes out, Lisa quietly stood up leaving them alone as he knelt in front of her wiping away the tears that fell pulling her close to him.
“Why couldn’t this have happened when she was born, I wouldn’t have cared what happened to me she would have been safe.” She sobbed.
Alex rubbed her back soothingly sighing a little, “Because there are bitches like Holly in this world that get jealous to easily gives me more reasons to just not like her or people like her in this world.” He said lifting himself up sitting down on the couch pulling her with him into her lap
“We only had a week left”
Alex sighed and continued to hug her, “I know, but hey miracles happen Roo Roo.” He said wiping away her tears with his thumbs.
“Lately everything seems to be against us.”
Alex sighed holding her there kissing the back of her head, “I’ve noticed if it’s not us its Jack and Shay or someone else on this bus.” He said quietly
“It’s not fair” her voice cracked. “Why couldn’t something just happen to me instead.” She sobbed into his shoulder.
Alex sighed pulling the covers over them both again laying down bringing her with him knowing she would soon end up settling down and fall asleep deciding to sing her “A daydream away” softly hoping that maybe it would calm her down a little bit, Roo yawned snuggling into his chest closing her eyes falling asleep he continued to sing the song till it was finished and laid there himself falling asleep.
Jack and Shay came back onto the bus his arms wrapped around her from behind there was no one up front they slowly walked to the back lounge to see Roo and Alex sleeping on the couch a smile tugged across his lips.
“Shay bear, do you have your cell on you?”
Shay nods getting it out of her back pocket turning the camera on snapping a picture smiling at the results putting her phone away, Jack sighed.
“Should we wake them? They both look peaceful”
Shay smiled shaking her head a little, “I wouldn’t I’d let them both just sleep it off for the night but we can always pull the covers over them a little more”
Jack unwrapped his arms from her waist walking over pulling the covers over them both backing away, “His shirt is wet now.”
Shay rolled her eyes laughing a little bit, “Come on lets go to bed before you decide to wake them up.” She said shoving him out of the back lounge closing the door quietly.
