*Alexia Fender sits in the driveway of her best friend Jessie's driveway. She has her hands on the steering wheel of her ford Focus and takes a deep breath. Alexia shakes her head and reaches down and starts the car again. he looks behind her to pull out of the driveway and hears a voice outside her window*
Jessie Blake: Lex?
*Alexia turns and looks out of the window and sees Jessie standing there. Jessie smiles and Alexia turns off the car. She gets out and Jessie hugs her*
Jessie Blake: You're back! I missed you so much! You look amazing!
*Jessie finally lets go and Alexia smiles*
Alexia Fender: I missed you too Jessie.
Jessie Blake: Comeon.. Come inside!
Alexia Fender: I can't stay long.. I have a show tonight, I just wanted to come see you.. And invite you and Wade
*Jessie smiles again and hugs her friend*
Jessie Blake: Of course we'll be there.. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
*Alexia and Jessie hug one more time, before heading into the house.*
Alexia walks out of the backroom carrying a bottle of water, as the stage crew is setting up for her show. She smiles at people as she makes her way through the crowd, wearing a tight black dress, her now long hair hanging down in curls. She runs her hand through her blonde hair and walks towards the door to get air before her set. She sees Wade Mason standing with Jessie and smiles to them making her way over. Alexia stops in her tracks seeing Gabe walk up to them and starts to turn*
Jessie Blake: Alexia! Come here!
*Jessie looks over at Gabe and bites her lip, and looks at Wade. Alexia sighs and starts to turn back around, keeping her eyes to the ground as she walks towards them*
Alexia Fender: Hey
*Gabe nervously throws his hands into his pockets and leans forward to the front of his feet.*
Gabe Shelley: Hey, Alexia.
*She slowly looks up at him and forces out a small smile*
Alexia Fender: Hey..
*His eyes scan her but trying to not make it obvious.*
Gabe Shelley: You look.... great.
Alexia Fender: Thanks.. You look good too
*She looks over for Jessie and Wade but realize they left. She grits her teeth and runs her hand through her hair*
Alexia Fender: So.. How have you been?
*He shrugs and lets out a small smile*
Gabe Shelley: I'm ok, trying to keep busy with this and that
Alexia Fender: I know that feeling.. Hows um... Natalie?
*His smile clearly becomes fake as his right hand brushes though his hair.*
Gabe Shelley: I have no idea.
*She looks over at him and riass an eyebrow*
Alexia Fender: What?
*He shrugs and nods*
Gabe Shelley: We broke up a while ago
*She does her best to not smile*
Alexia Fender: Oh.. I'm so sorry
*She bites her lip and takes a deep breath*
Alexia Fender: Its her loss.
*She lowers her voice so shes mumbling*
Alexia Fender: Trust me i know
*He seems confused and looks around before trying to catch her eyes*
Gabe Shelley: What do you mean?
*She looks in his eyes, then blinks and shakes her head*
Alexia Fender: what do I mean by what?
Gabe Shelley: What is it you know?
*She bites the inside of her cheek hard and takes a deep breath to say something but someone walks over to her and whispers in her ear, she nods*
Alexia Fender: Stay here...? Please?
*He nods slowly*
Gabe Shelley: Yeah
*Alexia smiles and turns away from him and heads towards the stage*
*Alexia finishes her set and looks over at Gabe whos looking up at her. She presses her lips together and whispers to her bassist. He signals for the rest of the band to leave and shes left on the stage alone. She takes a deep breath and she walks over and sits at her piano*
Alexia Fender: This last song.. I wrote about someone very special.. When I heard he had started dating someone else.. And I miss him very much..
*Alexia takes a deep breath and starts to play the piano*
Alexia Fender:
I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered were just ours to know
You told me you loved me.. So why did you go..
Away
Away..
I do recall now, the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th,
The beat of your heart It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms
But now I'll go..
Sit on the floor wearin your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you'd miss
Never thought wed have our last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name forever the name on my lips
I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party
You're showin off again
And I roll my eyes, and then you pull me in
I'm not much for dancin, but for you I did
Because I love your handshake meetin my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kiss me when I was in the middle of sayin something
Theres not a day i don't miss those rude interuptions
And I'll go..
Sit on the floor wearin your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you'd miss
Never thought wed have our last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name forever the name on my lips
So I watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me, Like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends, just to ask them how you are
Hope its nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines and its a beautiful day
And something reminds you You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on, You changing your mind
So I'll go..
Sit on the floor wearin your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you'd miss
Never thought wed have our last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last....
*Alexia looks down as a tear rolls down her cheek. The crowd cheers and she smiles and nods at them, before standing and making her way off the stage*
*After about a half hour, Alexia walks out of the back room and towards Gabe at the bar. His eyes are locked on his hands and the bar in front of him. He spins the ice in the glass, obviously off in his own world. The ice stops spinning as he thinks deeply. She takes a deep breath and walks up next to him slowly, leaning her elbows on the bar*
Alexia Fender: You stayed...
*It takes him a moment to snap out of his daze and his attention turns to Alexia. He spins around in his chair to see her standing there*
Gabe Shelley: Of course I did
*She looks down at the bar, playing with her nails fighting back the tears from knowing her just heard the song she wrote only the night before, about him*
Alexia Fender: Thank you
Gabe Shelley: I... uh.. I really liked hearing you sing again
*She looks over at him*
Alexia Fender: Really? ...Its not your kind of music
Gabe Shelley: You know I don't have a kind of music
Alexia Fender: I suppose...
*She looks back down at her nails fighting back more tears as the line "and i feel you forget me like i used to feel you breathe" runs through her head*
Gabe Shelley: It was a great song..
*He knew the meaning behind it, he didn't have to ask. He's unsure of what to say to her, not wanting to upset her or cause a stir of emotions. She looks over at him and takes a deep breath*
Alexia Fender: Thanks
*She takes a small step backwards away from the bar, and him, gritting her teeth*
Gabe Shelley: You probably have all kind of plans tonight so don't let me sitting here keep you
*She swallows hard and takes a deep breath*
Alexia Fender: I'm sure you do too.. I'm sorry.. It was selfish of me to ask you to stay
*He shakes his head and spins his empty glass*
Gabe Shelley: None
Alexia Fender: Comeon.. I'm sure you have a date or something.. Need someway to get over Natalie right?
*She closes her eyes and shakes her head*
Gabe Shelley: No date, no other women, just sitting here at this bar
Alexia Fender: Alone?
*He simply nods*
Gabe Shelley: Yes ma'am
*She looks towards the dressing room area, and tries harder to fight back a few tears before looking at him*
Alexia Fender: ...Want company?
Gabe Shelley: Only if it's you
*She walks back to the bar and sits up on the stool next to him, looking down at her hands. She gets handed a bottle of water and looks at him*
Alexia Fender: I'm sorry..
*He tilts his head to her and raises an eyebrow*
Gabe Shelley: For what?
Alexia Fender: For le... That umm.. That Jessie has made Wade too lame to hang out
*She sighs and dros her head*
Gabe Shelley: I like it better this way
Alexia Fender: Sitting in a bar.. while they break down a stage..?
*He pauses for a moment before looking at her, smiling*
Gabe Shelley: Just here with you
*She looks over at him and cant help smiling a little*
Alexia Fender: ...Really?
Gabe Shelley: Really
Alexia Fender: Why?
*He doesn't want to answer, he holds back*
Gabe Shelley: Just... because
Alexia Fender: Cause of my awful music?
*She laughs a little and takes a drink from her water. He smiles and nods*
Gabe Shelley: Yeah, that's it
*Her jaw drops and she nudges him with her elbow*
Alexia Fender: Hey!
*He smiles and his hand touches the top of hers, his eyes catching hers*
Gabe Shelley: I love your music
*She looks in his eyes and smiles*
Alexia Fender: I love your... Shirt
*She looks at him and laughs a little. He chuckles and shrugs*
Gabe Shelley: It's alright
*She leans in a little closer and looks at his shirt, then looks up at him with a smirk on her face*
Alexia Fender: I bought you that
*He winks and laughs*
Gabe Shelley: Oh! I guess you did
*She sits back up and looks around*
Alexia Fender: We're the only ones here
*His eyes scan around and nods*
Gabe Shelley: I guess we are
Alexia Fender: You wanna get out of here?
Gabe Shelley: What do you have in mind?
*She shrugs and starts to stand up*
Alexia Fender: anywhere but here
Gabe Shelley: If only my motorcycle was parked out front and I had two helmets on it
*He stands up and pulls his jacket on before reaching in his pockets and pulls out his bike keys*
Gabe Shelley: Oh, wait. I do
*Alexia looks at Gabe and smiles. He reaches his hand out to her and she takes it, walking out of the bar with him. *
