|Dear Maria| Alex Gaskarth |Count Me In| |01|

"Finally," Alex muttered under his breath, shoving his hands back into his pockets. He stopped, watching as Maria and Jasey stood outside of the venue, waiting for their ride. "Now's my chance," he mumbled, walking toward them. "OH MY GOD! IT'S LIKE, ALEX GASKARTH!" someone shrieked. Alex cursed under his breath, looking over at the two fan girls that were coming toward him. He plastered a smile on his face, "Hello, ladies."

"God, where's Robbie?" Jasey asked, zipping her hoodie up. It was getting chilly, and they were stuck outside. "He said he's running late." I replied, shoving my cell phone back into my pocket. "What the heck, what could he possibly be doing that is so important?" Jasey asked, rolling her eyes. "I think he was dying his hair." I replied. She groaned. "How about we go to Starbucks?" I asked. "Is there even one around here?" Jasey asked. "It doesn't hurt to look. Besides, I'm sure there's one. When ISN'T there a Starbucks?" I pointed out. "True," she said, shrugging. I glanced behind me. Alex Gaskarth was standing there, talking to the fans. "Is it just me or...has Alex Gaskarth been following us all day?" I asked. Jasey laughed, "In your dreams, missy. The cold must be gettnig to you. Starbucks, Now." She grabbed my arm, pulling me away from Alex.

Alex looked over when he saw movement out the corner of his eyes. "Crap." he said out loud when he saw Maria and Jasey walking away. "What's wrong, Alex?" one of the girls asked. "Um, I left something over at the...hotel." Alex replied quickly. "Oh, that's bad! Go get it, someone could steal it!" One of them replied. He smiled kindly, "Good idea. Thanks so much for coming out tonight, it's been great meeting you." he said. He gave a slight wave before walking off after Maria and Jasey.

"Ahh, humanity." Jasey breathed as I pushed open the door to Starbucks. Not even in it for five minutes, and she's already causing a disturbance. "What do you want?" I asked her. "My usual." she said. I nodded, and she walked off, going to the corner to find a seat for us. "Hi, What can I get for you?" The worker asked, leaning against the counter. "Hi, can I get a grande caramel frappuccino, and a grande caramel macchiato?" I asked. "Sure," she wrote the order down on two cups. "$7.14" she said. I gave her a ten, and told her to keep the change. I walked over to the counter, resting my elbows on it. I heard the door jingle open, but was too tired to look over.

Alex pushed open the door to Starbucks. He breathed in a sigh of relief when he saw Maria standing at the counter, paying for the coffee. He waited until she went to the pick up counter, and started walking toward her. "Can I help you?" the worker at the register asked. "Um, yeah, can I get a mocha frappuccino?" he asked. "Sure thing." the worker said. Alex reached into his pocket, "Oh, it's on the house, Mr. Gaskarth." she said. "Alright, then. Thank you." he said. He shoved his hands back into his pockets, and walked toward Maria.

I heard footsteps behind me, but thought nothing of it. I thought back to the days events. Alex Gaskarth was following me, I knew it. I wouldn't make stuff up like this. Okay...maybe I would. But, that's not the point. It might be just me. I could just be so obsessed with him, that I'm just imagining it. What if he followed me here? What if he's in here right at this very..."Dear Maria, Count me in?" I heard a voice say from behind me

I think you can guess what happens from there. This story sucked. I feel sorry for anyone who had to read this.
