Alex is on the stage, singing his heart out. I am here on the first row. Singing with him. He smile's to the girl next to me, who start's screaming. My friend next to me, mumbels something. I smile at here, and hit here kindly on the arm, and tell her not to care. She smiles and looks up to Alex, who is standing right front of us, I take my camera, and start taking pictures. I see him trough my cam, he smile's, to me.
Concert goes on. My friend have to leave, her mother is a really worrier. I promise to buy her a shirt, and take autograps. its a break time, between bands. next one will be We The Kings. I'll go to the WC and check my hair. it's okay. I make my way to the merch booth. I see the all time low t-shirts. I get my vallet out of my pocket, and start look at the prices.
- they are pretty cheap. I say to myself.
- yeah they are. Says a familliar voice behinde me.
I turn around, it's alex from all time low. A huge smile appearc on my face. Alex smile's back at me.
- Hi, can I get your autograph for my friend.. and for me. if that's cool? I say with a little stutter in my voice.
- Sure. he says, with a little different smile on his face. He writes on my album cover, and a picture of the band, that my friend had given to me.
- so you are a big fan , huh? He says, with a funny tone. I shake my head.
- Actually, my friend is huge fan, I just love your music. I say and put the autographed stuff to my bag.
- oh, so you 'just' love our band? says Alex with a grin.
- No, you misunderstood, I love your music, I wouldnt even recognize you if my friend wouldnt talk about you all the time. I only recognize your voice, that's probably all. I say, and my cheeks are turning red, Why am I telling this to him. He thinks I am a weirdo.
- Oh, that doesnt happen a lot nowdays. Say Alex and shakes his head a little.
- What that fans doesnt love your music? I say, with a little gues. Alex laughs and says
- No I mean , that listen the music, not carrying about how we look like.
- oh yeah, but Im a little weird anyway, so I dont think there is lot of other people who thinks the same, or I dont know, Im not the other people. I drivel. My cheeks are now so red , that I look like a tomato. Alex laughs and takes a hold of my hand.
- Come on, you wanted those shirt didnt you? He says and drive's me trough all the people. Behinde merch booth. I look around I see other guys from ATL and couple guys from WTK's. I smile a little.
- Why did you bring me here? I ask from Alex whos trying to find a shirt's from the box.
- To get you some shirts. And maybe your 'friend' would like to get other guys autograps too? He says, still diggin the bottomless box. I laugh a little. And take my camera from my pocket. I take a picture where Alex is diggin the box, after the first one. he lifts his head, and whatches me.
- Are you taking a photo? He says with a little grin. I take another picture, and say
- what, is it forbidden? I say and take a third picture of Alex diggin the box, with his boxers showing a little. Alex got up from the box finally, with his hand full of different kinde of ATL & WTK' shirts. I took a photo, him smiling and holdin the shirts like a egypt statue.
- no its not forbidden, I just think taking pictures of my ass, arent the most intresting. He says and gives me the shirts, taking the camera off my hands. I look at the shirt, they are all cool, and the right size. if that guy wasnt a singer on a band, he would make a great shop assistant. I giggel a little my own thought.
- Alex, there is a problem, if you are givin me all these shirts..? I say with a guessing tone. Alex takes a picture of me, and nodes after it. Witch I interpret an yes answer.
-How am I gonna get these to fit my bag? I say and show him my not so big , but not so tiny green bag. He looks at the bag and gives me the camera, and tooks the shirts, and walks back of the room.
- Hello, says a red haired tall person next to me. He has a coke on his hands, and another one whitch is not opened yet.
- Hi, I say and looked at the tall person. He hands over the coke.
- I'm Travis, I saw Alex to take you here, what did you do? He smiles to me. I take the coke and as Im just about to answers to him. Alex comes with a canvas bag, which says huge green letter ALL TIME LOW.
- Here you go, they all fit there. as you can see. He smiles and gives me the bag.
- thank you. I say and show the bag to the red head.
- this is why I am here. Travis laughs
- of course, free stuff, what else. Did he promise to get you the autograps too? Travis says with a snide tone. Alex slaps Travis and puts a fake smile on his face.
- Dont listen to him. I look at Alex and and then say to Travis
- Does he do this to a lot of girls? Travis nods
- Yeah, put usually they are 'screamers'.. Travis says and takes a zip from his coke.
- Screamers? I say and lift my eye browns. Alex open his mouht
- You know, for example the girl next to you on the first row. she's a screamer. A sweet girl, i would bet, but she is a fan, who dreams how shes gonna marry me, and be my lover forever. That kind of person is s screamer. say Alex and Travis nodes next to him.
- Oh so you remember me from the first row. I say with a smile. I almoust though this man was a jerk. know I though him only a womanizer.
- yeah, I remember, you were the girl who looked at me, and didnt scream, only kept smiling back at me. Alex said , with keeping his hand back of his neck.
- aww, thats so sweet. Says Travis and takes Alex on his embrace. I lift my camera again, and take a picture.
- Okay how lovely this may come, I have to go, we are on, in a couple minutes, so bye, was nice to meet you..? Travis says as he's walking backward, towards the backstage.
- Ida, nice to meet you too. I say, and wave for Travis.
- Shoot, I should go, if I wanna any desent place from the groud. I say to Alex. He takes a hold of my hand.
- no dont go, you can whatch the show from the side of the stage, if you leave now you... wont get the autograps! Alex says with a grin. I look at him and then the ground
- Okay, I say and smiled at him
- but I better get those autograps!
And so we make our way to the person to person. Asking autograps, talking a little, laughing a lot. Alex was a very funny person, so was their band's drummer Rian. We went to him for the first autograph, and he made me laugh so hard. So he just kept taggin along with us. person to person.
- ida, hey. You drag that camera whit you, put you havent take a any pictures. Said Rian out of nowhere, when I had just got the last one of the autograps from member of ATL.
- Oh shoot, I forgot to ask for a pic. damnet. I say to myself, bitting my lip.
- Hey we can take a group photo! Alex said and waved all the guys come close. He took the camera and went a couple steps back. he took lots of photos, and almost after two first one, the guys went crazy, they started to funny faces and moving like apes. I just laugh my ass off. Trying to make my best to look cool on the photos.
- Okay, I think now you got enought photos? said Alex and gave me the camera.
- but i didnt get any pictures with you.. I say, with a 'sad' face. Alex smiled and said
- maybe after the we the kings gig.
I almost forgot! We the kings, i wanted to see them, I hope they hadnt play my favourite songs yet!
- Alex, I wanna go see them, can you show me the way? I said with a little panic in my voice.
- Sure, put they havent started yet. he said and showed me the way. He was right. they havent even started yet. one of the mics didnt work, so they have been fixing the mic the hawl time. I was hangign with the guys. The audience was a little impatient. And that was very notable.
- They look really scary. I said to Alex who was standing next to me, whatching how finally WTK went to the stage and their intro started play. I noticed the photographers on the side.
- it would be cool to have a photo-pass. Then you could go there, between stage and the crow take photos. it would be so cool. I said. I didnt even think that Alex would hear me cause the begin riffs of skyway avenue's were already bangging from the speakers. But he did.
- Why wont you go there. he says and pointed out the ptohographer people.
- Cause i dont have the photo pass? I say to him with a little sarcasm. Alex took of his backstage pass, and put it to my jeans.
- No you can go anywhere you want. I looked at him. I looked at the pass. it said 'Alex Gaskarth Singer/ATL'
- Aint you gonna get trouble for this?
- No.. Why wouldnt I. I'll stay here, so noone will through me out. He said with a wide grin. I laugh, and thanked Alex and then made my way to the place where all the photographer's were. In a couple of minutes I was between the stage and the crowd. it was so cool. I took my camera and started taking photos. I cant blame it really was the best place on concert I have ever been.
"
- lace up your shoes, A O A O ah, here's how we do. Travis sang and then looked me deep in the eyes.
- run baby run, dont even look back, they'll tear us apart, if you give them a chance.. Came from my mouht. And people cheer. A wide smile growed to my face and I started tap along.
- dont sell your heart, dont say we're not meant to be, run baby run, forever will be.. I hear a familliar voice, it was Alex he had come to stage too. He came next to me, putting his arm around me and we both sing in to the mic
- you and me. Alex hugged me, and gave the mic back to Travis. Who sanged the song in the end, me and Alex dancing on the stage. I was holding Alex hands, and just dancing. Forgetting the time and place. just having fun. he reel me aroun, and my balance was so lost. So I almost fell. Alex grab me and laughted. We made our way away from the stage. Laughing so hard. i finaly noticed that alex did still hodl my hands when I try to wipe tears from my eyes.
- Dude, you're still holding me.. I said and smiled to him, trying not to giggel. Alex loose his hands of mine. And went a little red.
- Sorry, It just, I didnt notice.. Im sorry. He stutter. I just started to laught again. and he stared me with a funny face.
- Why are you laughing, he said with a little panicin girly tone. Like he was completly lost. I try to say sometjhing but i just kept laghing. So Alex grabbed me, and took me in to a deep hug. We were both laughing, no idea for why. But it was okay. we had fun and we were comfortable. I though to myself, I hope this would never end.
