*jack j*

I woke up with my head shoved into a pillow. My arms were holding onto it tightly probably going to leave the pillow in the shape of a bow tie for a few days. I let go of it sitting up, taking in my surroundings. My vision was blurry because I didn't take my contacts out before I fell asleep.

The room smelt flowery, almost like perfume. I rubbed my eyes trying to regain my sight. A couple more rapid blinks later the room became a little less fuzzy. The walls were a beige color; that's all I can pretty much see. Maybe there will be contact solution in the bathroom cabinet.

I took the covers off of my legs swinging them to the side of the bed and standing up. My legs took me to a wall and what I think is a door. I felt around the smooth surface until I found a handle. Once I turned it I walked out of the room.

I know this house like the back of my hand.

My hands felt around the walls trying to find the bathroom doorknob.

I opened the door and stepped in. My hand felt around the cool counter top, stopping when I touched something and then falling over onto the floor with a thud.

Damn it.

I crouched down to the floor, trying to find it. My hand grasped the tiny bottle; I automatically knew that it was contact solution.

Thank god.

I took out my contacts and flushed them before inserting them back into my eye balls.

Once I blinked several times and I finally regained sight, I looked at myself in the mirror. I had tired eyes and my hair was a mess. After I splashed some water on my face and combed my fingers through my hair I looked better.

I took a deep breathe and slid my hands across the cool tiled vanity until I hit something a little more rugged.

It was a piece of paper folded with it initialed to Jack <3.

I unfolded it and I saw a hand written note.

"Goldie Locks,

Sorry I couldn't wake you up before I went to school but you looked so cute sleeping. :)

I went through your luggage to find some contact solution cuz I was more than certain that you'd need it ;)

Anyway, Katherine told me that you're leaving today to go back to LA with Jack :(

You were only here for a day ;-;

But I wish you safe travels and text me when you're back in Cali

-Lyssy-Poo <3"

Aww, she's the sweetest thing.

I looked down at my phone in my pocket and saw the time.

11:32.

Shit my flight is in an hour. I took the small bottle of soliton in my hand and the letter in the other. I ran back into Lyss's room to get my stuff together.

Quickly, I threw on a new shirt and stuffed the dirty one in my luggage.

My feet slid into my vans and I stumbled out of the door.

Wait!

I turned back around and into the house and back into Alyssa's room. There was some looseleaf on her desk and searched around in the desk to find a pen.

I jotted down a cute little note to her. My vision scanned over the note a few items scribbling a few words until I was satisfied.

I took a quick breathe and ran back out of the house to the nearest bus station.

*alyssa*

My pencil tapped against my notebook, impatiently as I stated at the clock. There was two minutes left of school and I could be be any more relieved but also annoyed. I couldn't wait to get out of school and go home.

Katherine told me that Jack and Jack had to go back to LA today when I was in school and I didn't really get to say bye.

But oh well... I'll see them sooner or later.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket and I quickly took it out. I glanced down at it and it was a message from Jack.

JJ the BaeBae: just got back from airport. Finally glad to be back in Cali. But I'm missing you of coarse... :'(

I rolled my eyes at his contact name. He stole my phone and set it as that... What a dork...

"Good! Now save me from algebra!! D'x" I answered back.

The bell rang introducing me from my typing on the tiny screen in my hand.

Thank god! I ran out of the classroom and out to Cat's car. She wasn't far behind me.

Once she got in the car she started the engine and drive off.

"Jay ask you to prom yet?" She broke the silence.

My cheeks flushed and then began to heat up.

"I knew it!" She cheered. "We are going dress shopping!"

"Umm, Cat. I kinda turned him down," I answered back a bit timidly.

"What? Why?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "School dances are not my scene."

"That's a damn shame. You guys would be so cute!"

She pulled into my driveway and I got out of the car.

"See ya tomorrow Cat!" I waved before I entered the house.

She drove down the street until she was out of sight.

I ran up to my room and plopped down onto my bed.

Great another day to make up work. At least the teachers allow me to take as much time as I need.

I sighed and got up off of my bed and walked over to my desk. On a piece of looseleaf I see a bunch of scribbles on the paper.

"Dear My Lyssy-Poo,

Thank you for the little note earlier this morning. It was very thoughtful.

Call me when you read this. No, scratch that. Ft me.

I need to ask you something :)

I guess that's it.

-<3 Goldie Locks"

I got a little anxious about what he wants to talk to me about.

My finger hovered over the FaceTime button until I took enough courage to press it.

He answered almost immediately.

"What's good Lyss?"

"Um, you told me to FaceTime you."

"Ah! So you've read my letter"

"Jack cut to the chase."

"I'm sorry I have to ask you this over a FaceTime call but I didn't have time when I was back in Omaha," he trailed off.

"Jack, what are you talking about?" Knots continued to tie themselves in my stomach.

He cleared his throat and ran his fingers through his hair before answering my question, "Alyssa, will you be my girlfriend?"

~^~

Don't worry I'm alive lol X'D

Thank you for the long wait! I just got a little side tracked and had a loss of inspiration.

But I'm back and have the ending all planned out...

And yeah the story is almost over guys... :(

But don't worry I'll still do the best I can to post in the next week or so.

I guess that's it :)

Stay Stunned :)
