It was his junior year at Belmont University, music was his major. He lost himself in music, and that was what held onto his sanity, most days. He remembered so well of when he had first come to this college, he had been the outcast. Sure, he was a little gothic looking, but he wasn't some loner who sat by himself at lunch, writing in a diary. He was far from that kid.
The year had gotten better until the point came of when everybody knew his name, the girls were crawling all over him, the guys were laughing and trying to be his friend. His band had bursted, and the gigs got better and better. He was living the life. The only thing that was missing, was a girl to share it with.
Don't get him wrong, he had plenty of girls. But that's all they were, girls. No real girlfriends. They would always cling all over him for the first week or two, showing off that they were his new eye candy, until they got their five minutes of fame, and went and ruined things. Recently, he'd thought about just giving it up, what was the point in dating a girl, when she's going to screw you're best friend, or some other guy the next week?
Turning away from the mirror he was gazing at, he pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind. Running a hand through his black hair, Alex let out a breath and grabbed his guitar. Tonight, they had landed a gig at the biggest local bar on campus, Fuse. He could feel the blood in his veins pumping as he made his way onto stage and could hear the crowd roaring all around him. This is what he lived for, the thrill of performing, the love of music, the happiness it brought him.
Striking the first chord on his guitar, one of their more famous songs began to play. He slowly brought his mouth to the mic and began to sing the lyrics that most girls swooned over. He smiled as he flipped his hair out of his eyes, his blue eyes sparkling under the bright lights, his mouth moving as he sang the words to the song, his fingers strumming the guitar, and that's when he caught sight of the most beautiful girl he'd layed sight on, standing there in the front row.
Smiling widely, Alex began to perform with more enthusiasm, reaching his hand out to her as he gazed deep into her eyes.
