《Where Did The Little Rock-Star Go? (GXG)》Chapter 10

(Devon's POV)
"It's not nice to stare." I mumble, opening my eyes to be greeted by Alex hazel eyes.
Alex blushes but giggles, cuddling into me more. I sigh as I stretch my arms out. I look at my watch, seeing it's 4:37 PM.
"What's that?" Alex asks me. I look down to see my collar bone tattoo. "Is-is that my name?" She squints.
"I-uhm-yes." I sigh. I blush in embarrassment, but a grin takes over Alex's face.
She moves my shirt down, getting a better view of it. She puts her fingers on it, tracing it. My breathing becomes heavy as she touches me. Her touch spreads warmth and electricity all out through me. I've missed her touch. These past 3 years, no one has been able to give me this feeling- only Alex.
Alex smiles and removes her fingers.
"No need to hide it anymore." Alex softly speaks, realizing I've been wearing leather jackets and hoodies to cover it up.
"Thank god, it was getting hot wearing all of that clothing." I joke, causing her to giggle. I take off my hoodie, almost hitting my hand in the process. Under my hoodie is a black tank-top, revealing all of my tattoo's.
Alex takes my right hand, observing the hand tattoo. It's nothing special, just black ink and some random drawings. She traces it, moving onto my left arm. She stops at one.
"Is that my birthday in roman numerals?" Alex questions me.
"Yeah," I quietly say. "You're special to me, Alex."
Alex blushes and moves on, looking at all of the other designs and colored ink. Alex lets her hands linger on her birthday before removing them. She looks up at me, smiling.
"We should go see the others." I say. Alex hesitantly nods. "You'll be okay, Jamie won't hurt you anymore, okay?" I reassure her.

Alex nods, waiting for me to get out. I hop out of the bunk, waiting for her. I grab her hand, helping her down. I start walking, our hands still laced together. As we walk into the lounge, Alex lets go of my hand, making me frown at the sudden coldness.
The first person my eyes land on is Jamie, who is trying to fix her phone. Anger runs through me. Your girlfriend- ex-girlfriend, finds you cheating and the first thing you do is fix your phone? No! That's pathetic. Jamie is pathetic.
I wonder if the band is going to kick Jamie out of the band- I wouldn't be surprised. Jamie's always been a little..not right? Yeah..
I guess Alex notices my anger because she takes my hand, making me calm down instantly. I breath in and out, calming myself down as I try not to pounce on Jamie- who has yet to acknowledge us.
"You alright, Alex?" Ivy asks, catching Jamie's attention.
"Yeah," Alex smiles at me. "I'm okay."
Jamie scoffs, going back to her phone. Alex takes my hand, sitting down on the couch next to Skylar. I sit next to her.
"Are you two..together again?" Leon asks us, narrowing his eyes.
"No," Alex sighs. "Not yet." She grins.
A hint of pink makes its way to my cheeks.
"See you moved on already." Jamie mumbles.
"Shut up," I snap. "You're the one who cheated on her- so just shut the hell up."
Jamie rolls her eyes, taking the screw driver and her phone. She gets up and leaves the room, walking to her bunk.
"Swear she gets on my nerves." I hear Skylar mumble. Me and you both.
"Are you guys gonna kick her out of the band?" I ask them.

Skylar, Leon and Ryan glance at each other.
"We'll need a new singer." Ryan says.
"I know a girl. She's on YouTube, she isn't well-known, but she is a fantastic singer." I inform them.
"Let's see one of her videos, yeah?" Leon suggests. I nod, taking the laptop off of the coffee table as everyone crowds around me.
"Her name is Raven Reynolds." I click on one of her videos.
She starts to sing- and she sounds fantastic.
"Oh yeah- that's a deal!" Skylar exclaims, as Ryan and Leon nod in agreement.
"Okay," Ryan says. "Let me call Sarah."
Ryan takes his phone out, dialing Sarah's number. On the third ring, she answers. Ryan puts it on speaker.
"Yes, Ryan?" Sarah sighs.
"Hey, uhm. Well, you see.." Ryan hesitates.
"Spit it out." Sarah demands, becoming impatient.
"We want to kick Jamie out of the band." Skylar calmly says.
It goes silent on the other line.
"I knew it. Was waiting for that to happened. And who will be the new singer?"
"Devon found us a girl, her name is Raven Reynolds." Leon informs.
"Alright, I'll let you know when I get in-contact with her, now all you need to do is tell Jamie." Sarah hangs up.
We sit in silence, knowing what's coming next.
"Who's telling her?" Ivy asks.
"I will." Skylar speaks up.
"I'll come with." I mumble, letting go of Alex's hand as I stand up. Skylar nods as we walk into the back.
"Jamie," Skylar speaks, catching her attention. "We have news."
Jamie looks up, walking to her bunk. She grabs her suitcase.
"I already know. I have other offers anyways, erm. Tell Alex I'm sorry and yeah." Jamie admits, packing her bags. I raise an eyebrow at Skylar, who shrugs and walks away.
I start walking away when Jamie stops me.
"Yeah?" I hastily ask her.
"Alex still loves you, just thought you should know. So don't give up."
I nod and give her a small smile, "Bye, Jamie."
I walk back into the lounge, where Alex is sitting on her phone with a bored expression. I'm guessing Skylar already told them what happened, because they aren't questioning me. I flop down next to Alex, who puts her phone down, smiling up at me.
"How do you know Raven?" Alex raises an eyebrow at me.
"It's not like that," I laugh. "She helped me with my recovery from drinking and all of that other crap."
Alex nods understandingly, putting her head on my shoulder. I grab her hand, lacing our fingers together as she does the same.
Is this a start to a beautiful relationship? I think so.
Maybe I'll get Alex back...
Maybe.

Those That Do Not Yet Exist
These are not full stories. They are tales that have not yet occurred, whose timelines and events are not yet set in stone. The story of a shape-shifting alien, exploring rural Earth. The incident involving an artificial hero. A strange valley of water and a great tree. These are stories that are yet to come. Who knows where they may lead? These are test chapters, if you will. Pilot episodes to determine the reaction people have to them. Have fun!
8 98Murphy's Law
****Story has been dropped for being too dark**** "Anything that can go wrong, will." But what if you know what goes wrong in advance? On Earth, monsters come in human form. Some are ostracized or locked up, but others walk amongst us. They’re more common than one would think and they grow in number the higher in the hierarchy you go. With 1 in 100 people preying on the other 99, eventually, a world trying to summon a hero might end up with a monster that doesn't feel like playing along. _____________________________ The story is my take on some of my favorite genre's and tropes, some of which I have no I idea if they'll work well together. English is not my main language so if you notice any typos or grammar mistakes please tell me so I can correct them. Criticism and critique are more than welcome:) A chapter every Tuesday.*I do not own the cover image, it's taken from google.

My shorts and prompt responses from across the internet, gathered here into one convenient bundle. Quality, genre, and rating will vary. (This collection only includes original content.

8 113The Man in the White Armor
When two high school students discovered two watches of unknown origin, their lives were changed forever. Impenetrable armor. Powerful energy blasters. Deadly energy blades. Artificial Intelligence strong enough to hack into any device on the planet. Potions capable of wresting with death... This fiction has 14 chapters, all of which are completed and published on my Patreon. On Royalroad, chapters will be published every Saturday and Monday at 5 AM. It's Saturday because that's the weekday I'm writing this, and it's Monday because I know how tough the beginning of a week can be.
8 226Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?
8 170Elysium: Diamond In The Rough
Growing up in Elysium isn't easy, even though it's one of the biggest metropolises to spring up since all the superpowers of old decided to blast themselves into oblivion. Like a phoenix, Elysium emerged from the ashes and gave somewhere for the people of The Rough to go. This is the story of Alexander "Alex" Washington.
