it's been awhile | demi & alex
When he found out that Demi lived at the Condos too, a few emotions washed over Alex all at once -- anticipation to see his old best friend, along with a little bit of nostalgia. The two drifted after her music career really took off and he went on tour again, but if today went well, maybe they could get some of that back. He was sprawled across his sofa, flipping through channels way faster than he normally would've, a half-empty beer in his left hand. When his phone buzzed, the singer read her incoming text almost embarrassingly fast. He sauntered up to the door with a tiny smirk and checked the peephole just before opening it.
"Dem!" He opened it with a dramatic flourish, pulling the smaller girl into a bear hug within seconds and rocking her back and forth for a few more. "We're never allowed to forget about each other for that long ever again, okay," he said, deadpan, into her hair. Letting go, he led Demi inside. "You look good, girl," he threw over his shoulder. She really did -- they'd each improved, both in their careers and health during the five or so years that passed.
