POV: Jack
I click open my phone and find her contact name,
Ladybug🥺🐞
And quickly click the call button.
Lena picks up the phone and I smile at the sound of her voice.
"Averyyyy!!!!!"
"Hi, Ladybug"
I smile more and feel every other emotion wash away.
"What's up, bub?"
Quickly the reason behind my call rushes back to me, my eyes squeezing shut as I try to push the anxious thought away.
"Uhm- not much, sorry- it's early, I probably woke you up didn't I..." I sigh and facepalm at my stupidity.
"It's alright, wasn't a great sleep anyways" she laughs in response.
"Do you mind if I put you on speakerphone for a minute? I gotta hop in the shower but wanna talk-" I mumble out, realizing I sound like an idiot.
She giggles before responding, she's so adorable and perfect- no Jack stop it don't get your hopes up and that's not the point of this call.
"I don't mind, Jacky" her voice interrupts my thoughts.
I quickly put her on speakerphone and put my phone on the counter right next to the shower so I can hear her and she can hear me.
"So, what's gotcha up so early?"
"Rehearsal, and honestly I've been up for hours already, couldn't sleep and...." I stop myself and think for a second before I continue talking. "I'll tell you later- it's not a good idea to say over the phone"
She pauses for a moment, I know I was making her nervous with that so I blurt out,
"Nothing bad, I think- don't worry, I'm okay"
I hear her sigh a bit in relief that I'm ok. I love how much she truly cares about me.
There was a silence in the room for a minute, besides the shower running and the sound of the water dripping off of me and my hair.
"Wanna meet up for coffee later so you can tell me what's up?" Her perfect, angelic voice breaks through my thoughts.
"Yeah, it's best if I tell you as soon as possible" I bite my lip in a nervous habit, not knowing how she'll react.
"Sounds good, bub. What time will you be done rehearsals?"
"Uhh- bout 7ish I think?"
"Alrighty, I'll be at the cafe at 7 and I'll hangout till you can get there."
"Okay. Thank you, Ladybug" I smile to myself and shake my hair as I turn the shower off.
"I gotta go get ready for work but I'll see you later, ok bub?" Her voice echos from my phone around the bathroom.
I grab my phone and smile at her contact name.
"See you later, Ladybug. Thank you" I respond quietly, the wave of nerves about what I have to tell her washing over me again as my phone beeps at the end of the call.
I quickly get ready, and throw on a tie-dye t-shirt with jean overalls and my favourite pair of shoes before checking the time and realizing I'm almost late as I run down the stairs.
The rest of the guys had left already so I grabbed my keys and locked the door behind me before running to my car.
Rehearsal seemed to go by slower than normal- maybe from how nervous I was about having to tell Lena about my visit to Paige's apartment.
