Millie's pov
I open my eyes to Jack.
'Good morning.' Jack giggles.
'How long have you been starring for?' I wipe my eyes clean.
'About 10 minutes.' I giggle 'what?'
'That's so creepy Jack.' I place my hand around his shoulder.
'Also whilst laying here realised I hardly know anything about you.'
'I told you that a million times before you asked me out Jack' I roll my eyes at him.
'Tell me your full name for a starts, I'm Jack Barakat.' He pulls his arm from around me and gestures for me to shake it, I shove his hand away  and roll my eyes once again.
'Mille Jude Briggs.' I sigh out.
'Na na na Hey Jude.' A voice such from the other side of the curtain. ' hi guys' Alex rips open the curtain behind me.
'What do you want Lex?' Jack sighs pulling me closer to him.
'Kiran says that you must be ready in the next 45 minutes for an interview or you're dead.' Jack scolds at Alex. 'Hey his words not mine.'
Jack lets out a groan as Alex walks away, I jump out of the bunk and Jack follows.
'I don't want to go.' Jack wraps his arms around my waist and buries his head in the crook of my neck.
'But it's your job.' I attempt to shove Jack off but fail.
'You have to come then, your job if to take photos of me.' Jack pulls away and sticks his tongue out at me, I sigh knowing he's right and gets my change of clothes.

I walk out of the bathroom five minutes later wearing jacks pink Brittney Spears hoodie and a pair of black leggings with my checked vans.
'Love the hoodie.' Jack smirks as I walk into the lounge.
'Are we finally ready to go?' Alex whines as he stands up, I nod and grab my camera from the table.
'You look cute.' Jack whispers in my ear as he reaches for my hand.
'Thanks Jack.' I smile at Jack and interlock my fingers with his.
Alex turns around and glares at us.
'Don't make us late, just walk. You can do your cute couple shit later.' He turns back around and continues to stomp his way inside of the venue.
'Recon it's someone's time of the month,' Zack jokes causing a giggle to fall from my lips.
'I heard that!' Alex scowls at us causing Zack to raise his hands in defence.

Throughout their interview I kept taking shots mid conversation, Jack kept looking over at me and smiling.
'So Jack,' the interviewer turns to look at Jack. 'Who's this mystery girl that's been floating round on twitter?' Jacks smile drops off his face and his eyes widen to look at me, I shrug my shoulders in his direction unsure how to answer him.
'I'm assuming you're meaning our new photographer Millie, her work is so sick. She somehow manages to turn our ugly faces into something decent to look at.' A round of laughter rings out as a sigh falls from my lips. I mouth a quick 'thank you' at Jack as he winks at me.

'Was that alright, I didn't really know what to say' Jack wraps his arm around me as we walk back to the bus.
'Yeah, I didn't realise it had gotten out.'
'Me neither, but it's alright.' Jack kisses the side of my head. 'Now stop worrying and get ready.'
'I am ready, I'm dressed.' I giggle as we step onto the bus.
'Ahh touché. Let me change my shirt and we can go.' I raise an eyebrow at him.
'What? Go where?'
'Shopping duh,' Jack playfully rolls his eyes as he turns and walks away.
'You're more of a girl than what Millie is.' Alex shouts at Jack.
'Fuck off Alex.' Jack shouts straight back.
'Don't worry about it getting out, just do you and don't let anyone stop what you and Jack has.' Alex places a comforting hand on my knee and I look at him and smile.
'Thank you Alex.' He stands up with his arms open, so I stand up and walk into his embrace.
'Woah, what's going off here.' I pull out of Alex's embrace and see Jack standing with his hands on his hips.
'Just showing her a proper man.' Alex jokes causing Jack to shove him.
'He was being nice.' I smile at Alex and glance back over to Jack.
'Are you ready?' I nod at Jack as he locks his hand with mine.
'Where are you going? I want to go?' Alex pouts from the couch.
'Nothing stopping you from being a third wheel.' Jack says as he pulls me away.
'Let's go!' Alex stands up and follows behind us.
'Where are we going then?' I ask rubbing up and down jacks arm.
'Just a shopping mall down the road, better than going nothing all day.' Jack turns to me and smile.
