~-PART ONE-~

 'We should probally go.' Alexs voice sounded sad as he drew circles on my wrist. 'Garrett should be here soon'

I was leaning up against his bent knees, lying in the scortching sun, trying to tan my legs a bit. Looked like I was failing miserably, and did know better, since theyll just end up red and gross...

'okay' I sat up, giving a quick look at te depressingly blue sky. No clouds in site. This is going to be a long driving trip...

'seriously Alex, I can carry it.' I pointed to me bag he had picked up.

'nop. You've got enough to carry! Come along.' He dismissed the matter, but didnt walk off like a normal person.

I groaned angerly at the heat, swinging my school bag and guitar over my shoulder before walking towards the road, Alex right by my shoulder, falling into my pace. Gosh, he felt so clingy today for some reason. Like someones gonna jump out and attack me or something.

'He's ment to be here!' Alex wailed next to me as we sat on a small brick wall by the side of the road.

'well...I'm sure he will be. What time did he say he'd be here?' I had no idea who 'he' was, but what the hell.

'now'

'helpful. And what time is it?'

'nooooow'

'useless' I commented, swinging my legs out in front of me.

I felt his stare as we waited, and reluctantly peeked up at him through my hair.

My eyes meet with his, locking into an intense kind of stare. The kind of stare you have when your fighting over the remote, or the last piece of pizza..only this was..somewhat kinder. I froze as his eyes sparkled in the heat, and I felt him trying to tell me something...I just wasnt sure what it was.

There was a certain amount of sadness I found, deep down in the glimmer. Covered in loneliness, and a dash of anger. Yep, this was one emotional dude...I felt like giving him a hug or something, but then he said in a very sarcastic voice.

'you have something in your eye' making me crack up.

'I've seen them live. There amazing' He said, swinging his legs out in front of him now.

'so I've herd' I chuckled. I loved My Chemical Romance, and that video he just mocked always made me smile...in a weird way.

'Yo!!! Gaskarth, get your skinny ass over here!!!!' Someone called from an old VW Kombi van.

'Garrett me man!' Alex yelled back, jumping of the wall. He grabed some stuff and ran over to the van.

I hopped off the brick, slowly picking up me bag and guitar.

I herd them saying quick hello's and how ya been's untill the guy recognised a strange, short little redhead standing awkwardly behind Alex.

'well whos this L?' He raised an eyebrow, looking at me directly.

I couldnt see him properly, since he was in the shadows of the van, but his voice sounded nice. Quite husky, with an inch of a kind person leaking through to the surface.

I smiled towards the friendly shadow.

'Hayley.' Alex said simply. Wrapping his voice around my name...I liked the way he said it too...

I internaly snapped a finger in front of face- SNAP OUT OF IT HAYLEY!

Alex was still looking at me in a gaze not 5 seconds after. 'err...I'm Hayley' I gave a short wave towards shadowguy.

'Im Garrett.' I could hear the smile in his voice 'now come on, we gotta long trip back. I dont want any stops either.'

Alex snapped out of this Daydream, quickly opening the side door, and loading our stuff in.

'I'll sit in the back with Hayley' He said to Garrett. I appreciated this, I gotta admitt I was a little worried about sitting alone in the back- dont ask me why. Akwardness...

'Dude!'Garrett said, mocking little squirt, which made me crack up in trying-to-be-silent giggles at the irony 'I drive for 3 hours to come get you, and you gonna sit in the back, probally ignoring me completly and just stare at our new little spoungbob.'

'whos spoungebob?' Alex asked him, giving me a little questioning look at my gasping for air.

'Hayley of course.' Garrett addressed simply.

'hey!' I said high pitchedly offended. Though I do love that little spounge.

'Nothing bad. Its your cute little teeth, thats all.' He chuckled.

I climbed in next to Alex, who was already in the car and glaring at Garrett with a look of somewhat determinattion. God knows why.

'oh...okay' I muttered, slamming the door shut.

'So Hayley,' Garrett began, pulling on to the road 'Where ya from, whatcha doing, where ya going?'

'err... in backwards order, I'm heading to California with Alex... not sure, and I'm from Franklin...Tennessee' I added nervously, as Alex gently toke my hand, starting to play with my fingers like usual.

Garrett laughed a little 'okay...why backwards?'

'why not?'

'fair enough' I saw him nod from the front.

'How long have you known Alex? I've never herd you talk about spoungebob Gasarth.' He asked Alex who toke a second to answer.

'waa? Oh..yeah.' He mumbled shortly, going back to drawing things on my hand with his thumb.

'err...I meet him like 2 days ago. On the bus actually' I laughed

'oh. weird' Garrett said 'Alex is usually terrible with first impressions.' He chuckled.

'yeah, he still is' I laughed.

'hey!' Alex looked up me.

'Don't worrie' I put a hand on his cheek meaningfully 'I saw past it' I said sarcastically.

He frowned looking back down at my hand in his palm.

'So you a run away then?' Garrett asked casually.

'No! thats offensive you know...' I declared 'I'm just... moving.'

'sure,sure'

I pouted voluntarily. I should truly get a story straightend out so someone would at least believe me...

'she sings' Alex mused randomly.

'really? Awsome. We can have a little jam when we get back. You'll love it.'

'And plays guitar..'Alex continued. Seriously, he should quit the creepy behaviour. It was scaring me a little. His emotions were so up and down.

'No wonder you kidnapped her then Alex' Garrett laughed 'definitly your kinda girl'

'um, we dont go out or anything' Alex mumbled barely audible, his face was almost in his lap cuz he was looking down so much.

'oh, I wasnt sure..' Garrett said awkwardly.

I bit my lip, looking out the window. I hadnt relised how hot it was! It was discusting. Like the air was all taken over by some sick little humered warmth, strangling me untill I was proberlly a shrivelled up peach...

I looked up at Alex and then Garrett to see if they were as effected by the temperture as much as I was. Apparently not.

My gaze fixed on Garretts silhouette. He looked slightly fimilular...though my head wasnt in the mood to be trusted with what my eyes were seeing in this heat.

'you know what would be a great song to be playing right now' I asked them after a patch of hot silence.

'hmmm.' Garrett murmed from the front.

'there ant no rest for the wicked.' I nodded.

'true!' He said excitedly. 'wow, I cant believe I dont have any tunes playing...'

'I'm dissapointed' I stated

'you should be. I'm too.' He mucked around untill a cd was berrrzzzzzed into a player, and I herd the intro of 'Brightest' By Copeland.

I couldnt help but at least hum along to this song. It was a sweet little tune and disserved a bitta huming.

Though I did feel Alexs eyes on me every now and then...what was up with him?

'Move it you fucking morons!!!' Garrett was yelling at the truck in front of us, slaming on his driving wheel angerly.

I could feel my self shaking a little, and my heart was racing, but I still tried to play it cool. Nothing worse then a dramatic fan.

So apparently we were just over half way to our destionation, which I learned was not allowed to be called pheniox, it had to be tempe, which wernt far away from each other, but it was for publicarity/band purpouses or something.yep..band! that was the stupid reason my hand wouldnt stay still on my knee.

I had been staring at Garrett for the last 10 minutes, trying to figure out where I knew him from. Alexs deep sighs were a constant thing next to me as Garrett yelled at the drivers around. He didnt have verry good drivers self control, lets just say that.

'Hey Alex, we got our strings together to preform a new hit!' He turned around to face us, and thats when a gasp droped out of my mouth uncontrolably.

'thats where I no you from! Your garrett freakin Nickelsen' I concludeded simply.

'errgh..yeah.' He laughed. 'gosh girl your slow... you've been sitting in the car for an hour now with the worlds best bassiest and only just relised' He shook his head sadly.

Alexs eyes shot up, 'cool.' He said plainly, though the word didnt really fit in... with anything.

'just foolin' Garrett taunted 'and you are?'

'Hayley Williams, best singer ever. Better than him' I shoved Alexs stiff sholder next to me.

'its true' He said soluminly, looking down at me knee, and then drawing circles on it with his fingers...

'...I think hes depressed' Garrett mouthed to me.

I smiled back at him, and looked back at Alex, who indeed definitly had something on his mind...

'prove it' Garrett said to me

'what?'

'that your a good singer. Theres always room in our band for one more, I'll just kick John out. Hes not even good' He joked

'no' I said immeditly. Why the hell did I tell him I could sing!

Well actually it was Alex who said it first....urghh.

'I'm saving it. The amazingness would probally kill you right now' What? What the hell was I talking about? 'go'

I nodded ahead, where the truck had dissapeared, and the light was green.

We eventually made it to Tempe. Pulling up at a nice looking house.

It was flat-one storied, with a series of different plants, mostly cakti. or casktises...?

'home! well its actually Kens house, but hey I spend most my time there.'Garrett said happily, jumping outta the car.

'The guys are gonna love you!' He called

'err...is that a good thing?' I asked Alex nervously

He shrugged, looking slightly disturbed.

'okay..' I murmred, opening the sidedoor and getting out.

e carried our stuff up the windy path, following Garrett NIckelsen!!! [three whole exclaimations there]

'Guys! look what Alex caught.' Garrett yelled into the house when he opend the door.

Randomly a guy came out of the hall way to my left, who I believed to be named Jared Monaco.

'hey lil girly' He said putting on [i think] a creepy voice and raising an eyebrow suggestivly.

I laughed nervousily, squeezing Alexs hand tighter. I hadnt actually even noticed we were holding hands till this point.

A arm came out of nowhere, smaking Jared on the arm before a face appeared 'hello hello' Pat Kirch said cheerily 'I'm Pat, this is Jared, whos not usually such a perv.' He elbowed him.

Then outta nowhere the room was spinning around, and all I saw was a few blurred faces, one including Alex, who didnt look impressed.

'whos this?' The voice came from next to my ear as my feet found the ground again.

'that' I could hear distenctivly Garretts voice 'is Hayley.'

'I'm John.' The guy who had emerged me in a huge spinning hug spun me around so I was facing. And yep, it sure was John, giving me a huge cheesy smile and making me laugh.

Then Someone grabbed my hand, pulling me next to them, and wrapping a secure arm around my waist. I relised it was Alex, thankgod, I hadnt relised how close Johns face was to mine...

'whats going on?' Someone grumbled, coming down a hiden staircase I hadnt noticed before.

I was almost gonna faint when I saw Keenedy Brock appair.

'Oh, hey' he said casually, raising an eye brow at me.

'hi' I mumbled, feeling my cheeks grow the hottest of hot as all 5 members of The Maine stared at me expectantly.

'Hello? Wheres my greeting?' Alex broke in

Then there were a bunch of- 'hey mate, Alex me man, whats up, Alex!, Alex is here''s.

naw. I feel bad for not updating much. So this is kinda long ay... I might update again tonight if anyone wants me to?

COMMEEENS PLEASE TO.
