POV: No one (third person)

A bell rings as the coffee shop doors burst open and two guys run in, frantically looking around.

The taller of the two checks people in line while the shorter brunette runs around checking all the tables.

The pair look at each other sadly across the cafe before making their way to the back of the line, mumbling apologies to people as they walked past them.

Both boys frown and look at each other, deep in thought.

The line moves forward and the pair order a bunch of drinks.

Right before they move to wait for the drinks to be ready, the taller boy speaks up.

"Hey I've got a question- has a short brunette girl come in here this morning? Curly hair, nose ring? Pretty hazel eyes?" He asks the person behind the counter.

They think for a minute and nod.

"Left in a hurry just before you two came in" she laughs a bit as the two boys' faces drop in disappointment.

"Oh- ok, thanks" Zach smiles and nudges Jonah away from the cashier.

After getting the drinks they head to the door and quickly make their way to the rehearsal that they're almost late for.

~~~~~~

The whole day Jack is pouty and not paying much attention to anything besides what he needs to focus on for rehearsing.

Jonah and Zach decided it was better to not tell him about missing Lena at the coffee shop, or even that trying to find her there was the whole reason of them getting coffee this morning.

The rest of the week, four out of five of the band try to find more ways to find Lena again to try and make Jack happy again.

They couldn't think of anything if she wasn't at the cafe or at the Hollywood sign.

On Saturday the boys decided to have a party to take Jacks mind off of Lena.

Corbyn, Daniel, Jonah and Zach set up the party downstairs and in the backyard while Jack sulks in his room.

Jack sits in his bed and scrolls through Instagram, occasionally checking his messages and responding to a few fans.

"Hey bro, people are starting to get here so come down soon, please?" Zach asks, his head poking in room from the door.

Jack looks up from his phone and nods.

"Yeah I'll be down in a minute"

Zach nods and runs back down the stairs and just before Jack puts his phone down, he sees a new message request in his dms and feels the need to check it.

He clicks the new request and his jaw drops when he sees the message on his screen.

Hey Jack, it's Lena. I'm on my friends phone cause she managed to find your Instagram- I don't even know how but that doesn't matter. Uhm idk if you'll see this lol but I dropped my phone and it smashed and I couldn't get any of the data back and I didn't have your number memorized and.... I'm rambling- my new number is 323-097-4728 so uh yeah text me ig?

Jack immediately copies the number and pastes it into a new contact then immediately sends a text.

I will definitely do that. Have a fun party! :3

Jack puts his phone in his back pocket and runs down the stairs to the loud music and moving bodies.

He walks to the kitchen and sees the band hanging around with drinks and talking.

All of their eyes turn and look at Jack in confusion at the huge smile plastered on his face.

"What's got you so happy again?" Zach shouts over the music.

"Lena" Jack responds simply as the bands jaws drop.
