We Laugh In The Face Of Love -- Alex Gaskarth

You guys reach the venue, and get out.

“So I have to go do soundcheck in like 5 minutes so-“

“CHARLIEEEEE!!!” Jack ran over and hugged you around your waist, and picked up slightly. You were only 5ft, so that’s all he could reach. You started smiling uncontrollably at Jack’s blissful face seeing you.

“ooh sorry Alex, you can finish what your saying.” Jack said smiling. Alex shot Jack some kind of “bro” look that you, yourself was completely confused by. But Jack just sighed.

“ok fine. We gotta go to soundcheck, but theres the backstage area where everyone else is at. We’ll be done in like 10 minutes.” and Jack walked off. Alex waved at you, grabbed his guitar, and left. You lingered to the back, and saw an array of guys in tight jeans. There were also a couple girls, you assumed they were just a couple of girlfriends there to support there boyfriend. Then someone tapped you on your shoulder.

“Hi, are you Alex’s girlfriend?” said a girl much taller than you, at least 7 inches. She had blonde hair, [which obviously wasn’t hers] and boobs [that you doubted were hers also]. You had nothing against her, but she looked like your typical slut.

“Oh, no. I’m um, just his friend.” you reply. The girl replied with an “ohh” and went back to whatever the hell she was there for. You went to sit on the couch, when another person came up to you. But you knew him.

“Hi, I think you’re the Charlie that Alex has been going on and on about” he said.

“Yup…that’s me.” you say with a shrug, and a smile.

he chuckled “ok well I’m Dan Young.” [now if you’ve ever heard Daniel speak, you know he has this gorgeous Australian accent, to match his gorgeous face. Its interesting, really.]

“I’m Charlotte Delacroix [pro – Dellacroy], I’ve listened to This Providence for a while, but its nice to see a live face behind the amazing music.”

“really? thank you.” You guys end up in thought provoking conversations about books, and entertainment until Alex shows back up.

“Dan, my man! your crews going down the street for dinner, at least, before the fan girls show up. They told me to come and get you.”

“oh yeah sure” Dan started to get up. “I’ll probably see you later, and then we can finish this conversation.” he smiled and left. and Alex took the spot that Dan occupied.

“You think if I adopt an accent, I’d get all the women?” Alex asks

“Oh definatly dear” you say furrowing your brow and nodding. Alex introduced you to the rest of the bands, and then you had to sit back down because they too were doing soundcheck and getting all they’re set stuff ready.

“Hey you wanna place a bet?” you ask Alex who, currently was playing with the Fedora on his head, and texting.

“Are in involved in this?” he said eyeing you.

“If you want me to be.”

“ok then, what is it.”

“whoever can down 6 shots the fastest, without throwing up wins.”

“Wins what? and what are we downing?”

“uhh well if I win, you have to play your set with no clothes and-“

“and if I win,” he said cutting you off, “I get to sleep in your bed again.”

“ok deal.” you guys shake on it. “ok, so I should probably tell you what were downing now.” you hesitate with a smirk. “pickle juice.”

“waitttttttt – can I take back-“

“nope” you say. “its not my fault you shook on it before I even told you what we were downing.”

“dammit…..ok” Alex said getting up. “Lets get this over with.”
