Epilogue

Alex gulped nervously, looking at the huge crowd in the auditorium.

"Justin, I can't do this. There are too many people." She whined.

"Alex Jones is afraid of something?" he teased.

"As if you weren't freaking out before your first stage show." She shot back.

Justin smiled at the memory. "Maybe I was a little scared."

"Maybe?" his band-mate said.

"A little?" another said.

Justin glared at them and Alex smiled.

"Okay, fine I was terrified," Justin admitted, "But you were there for me, and it all worked out. I'm here for you now, and it'll all work out just as well. Trust me."

Alex nodded, looking at the auditorium, and picking up the drum-sticks, ready to fulfill her dreams.

Five years later

Her life was picture perfect. There was a crowd, cheering at them, while they played their music. And the best part of it all was that she got to do it with Justin. Nothing mattered to her more than him. Okay, maybe something did.

"Where is she?" she whispered to Justin.

"I don't know. She said she'll be right here." Justin whispered back. "I think she fell asleep."

He tiptoed inside the room and found his sleeping daughter in the couch.

"Take her to her bed." Alex hissed.

Justin nodded, picking her up gently and taking her to her room. Alex smiled and ruffled the hair of her little girl. She had grown up so much….

"So, we need to wake up at 4 tomorrow. Gotta drive her to mom's house and then head to the studio." Justin announced, entering their room and setting his alarm.

Alex sighed. "I feel so bad to leave her behind all the time."

Justin looked at her and smiled. "It's our job Alex."

Alex nodded, looking away. "So, we better get to sleep now if we have to wake up early?"

"Yupe." Justin nodded, sitting beside her on the bed and turning off the light. "Can't I please keep the night light on?" he pleaded.

"For the 100th time, NO!" Alex snapped, putting her arms around him and pulling him into her.

"So, anything else you wanna talk about?" Justin asked sleepily.

"No." Alex replied, sighing. "Some action would be good." She mumbled under her breath.

"I heard that." Justin whispered, grinning slightly.

"And you'll do nothing about it right?" Alex snapped.

"We have to get up at 4 in the morning. It's 11 now." Justin stated.

"So what? We got plenty of time to sleep." Alex scoffed.

"Alex, for a normal and healthy life, it is absolutely necessary to have at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep." He began lecturing. "Otherwise there can be serious ailments like-"

Alex groaned and cut him off with a kiss.

"Or not." Justin mumbled. "Sleep at 12, okay?" he whispered.

Alex smiled evilly and pulled away from him, turning around and rolling over to the other side. "Good night Justin."

"What?" Justin asked in disbelief. "Oh, so you were teasing me again. Fine." He snapped, feigning hurt.

"Oh just shut up and fall asleep already." Alex retorted. "Maybe your alien crush would visit you in your dreams."

Justin sighed, moving over to her and wrapping his arms around her waist. "Love you."

"Love you too… dork" Alex whispered before she fell asleep.

So you see- time changes everything.

People change, situations change, feelings change.

But some things never change….
