Alex was over this. The not being able to play guitar properly, the swelling of feet, the back and hip pain, just everything that's going on.
Alex was 33 weeks pregnant and he wanted to not be anymore. They were still on tour and it was complicated. He was stopped being allowed to play guitar at 6 months because his numb was too big and it hurt his back too much so he's just been singing. His boyfriend Rian wasn't much help. Rian would try and tell Alex that everything was alright and it's almost over which usually ends up was Risn getting slapped and Alex crying. The anger is short lived and usually ends up with the two of them cuddling and kissing after 30 minutes of Alex being mad.
They were trying to make a music video today and nothing was going right. It was the video for Nice2KnoU, and it wasn't going well. There was a lot of walking involved and it killed Alex's feet so they had to stop and break a lot. The other 3 understood but the crew was frustrated that it was taking so long.
"Babe it's all my fault." Alex whined as they took another break. Rian was nice enough to to message his boyfriends feet whenever they stopped. Jack and Zack we're sitting against a wall not far from the other two. Alex was leaning against the wall with Rian in front of him with his legs crossed and Alex's feet in his lap with his shoes off and gently rubbing them.
"No it's not." Rian reassured. Rian was used to this. Alex blaming himself for something and having to gently reassure him that it's not. The Alex usually gets mad and won't talk to Rian, then blame himself for being mad and it starts all over again. It a vicious cycle.
"Okay I'm ready now." Alex said pulling his feet off of Rian's lap. Rian helped put his shoes on and tie them up and then helped him stand.
"Guys we're ready." Rian said holding onto Alex's hand. They both nodded before standing and joining to two.
The video went on for a few more hours and the took 3 more breaks. Alex wanted more but he could tell the director was getting frustrated so he didn't ask for many. The were breaking for lunch and Alex was done. They've been there for 4 or 5 hours.
His back was hurting, his stomach felt tight and he felt a little nauseous. He just wanted to go home and have a bath then cuddle with Rian. But that doesn't look like it's going to be happening anytime soon.
Right now they were shooting the first/last scene of the video. Alex was so over this video and they still had the singing part left to film.
Alex was sitting on a bench and trying now to fall asleep while Zack did his part with the phone before they did the final scene. Alex had been feeling really nauseous and severe back pain for a couple of hours but brushed it off. It was warm and because of that Braxton Hicks were happening a lot more so he didn't worry. Just cuddled into Rian and closed his eyes to forget about the pain.
"Okay guys get up and look alive. We're almost finished with the outside portion. Just this last part and then we're going to do the band part and them we're done." The director said.
"Almost done A." Rian said kissing the side of his head before helping him stand up. Alex leaned on Rian while they walked over and listening to the director.
Alex didn't hear a word the director said, he just followed the other guys and hoped his was doing it right.
"Perfect guys. Now we're going to go over to the second location and run through. Everything is all set up and you just have to get what you need and start playing and singing." The director said. Jus after that a van pulled up and the boys got in.
"Are you alright babe?" Rian asked pushing Alex's hair out of his eyes.
"Yeah I am why?"
"You look a little pale and you've been gripping my arm quite tightly."
