Millie's POV
'Rian.' A voice whispers the opposite side of the curtain. 'Do me a favour and not call my girlfriend a gold digger again yeah?' I pat the bed at either side of me and discover the voice is jacks.
'It was just a joke, she knows that.' I sigh with my eyes still shut.
'No Rian, don't joke about that. Millie is already nervous and slightly embarrassed every time she's around you guys and making stupid comments like that doesn't help.'
'What's she got to be nervous and embarrassed about?' I raise my eyebrows even though no one can see.
'Well for a start, every time you talk to her you belittle her.' A sigh leaves jacks lips. 'Just listen Rian, if you don't approve of our relationship that's fine, you do you. But atleast pretend to support us, isn't that what friends are supposed to do?' I hear the bunk curtain rip open and Jack shoves me over to climb in beside me. His lanky arms find their way around my waist and back. Jack spoons me and gives my neck a kiss.
'I know you once again heard that, that dick woke me up to argue. Not for one second do I think you're after my money or fame and I appreciate that.' Jack whispers into my ear
'What time is it?' I rub my eyes, I see Jack reach for his phone and show me 7:48 am.
'Now go back to sleep my love, don't forget about our date later.' I snuggle into Jack and allow sleep to over come me.

I jump out of the shower and give my black hair a quick towel dry and brush. I pull over my head one of jacks ATL sweat shirts and took it in to a pair of distressed black jeans. I tie up my black converse and look in the mirror. I hear a knock on the door and jacks head pops through the door, shirtless.
'Please let me come in for a piss.' I giggle and nod at him. 'Thank you!' He places a kiss on my cheek. I apply a coat of mascara and add the smallest amount of highlight to the inner corner. Jack flushes the toilet and goes to wash his hands so I move out of his way. Jack dries off his hands and stands behind me, he places his head in the crook of my neck and wrap arms around me. He looks at me in the mirror and smiles at me. I pull out my phone from my pocket and take a picture of us.
'You look so beautiful.' He kisses the side of my head and I take another photo of us.
'You've looked better.' I joke with him and he pretends to be shock. He grabs my face with his hand and forces me to spin in his grip and look at him. He places his lips on mine as my hands make their way to his mess of hair. Jack pulls away after a minute or so and just smiles at me.
'What?' I ask him.
'Just glad I met you at that bar' I smile at him.
'Yeah was probably a good thing Alex hooked up with Tina...' my smile soon fell off my face as realisation hit me.
'What's wrong?' Jack pulls my face to look at him.
'Alex told me yesterday he has a girlfriend of like 6 years.'
'Yeah and?' Jack raises an eyebrow at me.
'He hooked up with Tina on the night we met. He cheated' my eyes begin to well up.
'Hey, why are you crying?' Jack wipes the tears falling. 'You've never even met her' he giggles as he pulls me closer to him.
'That's not the point he still cheated.' Jack attempts to comfort me by rubbing my arm up and down.
'Listen, Alex and Lisa have always been the same ever since high school. They have the most on and off relationship ever, they cheat and make up it's a never ending cycle between them. Can almost guarantee Lisa has cheated on him during this time aswell.' Jack wipes away the remainder of the tears from my eyes. 'Now forget about that and let's go get some breakfast.' I smile as I wipe my eyes one final time and grab my makeup bag off the counter. Jack unlocks the door and turns around and smiles at me again. I walk to the back lounge and place my make up bag in my suitcase.
'I love and miss you Alex.'
'I love you too Lisa.' I can't help but over hear Alex's conversation with Lisa on face time. 'Hey, Mille come say hello to Lisa' my body freeze's temporary before my legs move me to bend down eye level to Alex's laptop.
'Hi, are you the famous Millie that's turned Jack into a soppy mess as I'm told?' I giggle at Lisa's introduction and nod.
'Yeah suppose I am, it's nice to meet you Lisa but my soppy boyfriend is wanting food.' She giggles back at me and nods.
'Bye girl' I wave at her as I walk back out of the room.
'Are you alright?' I look up from the floor and see Zack standing infront of me, I just nod my head and attempt to walk past him but he stops me.
'Zack let me get past please.' I plead with him but he just shakes his head. 'You're too strong.' I attempt to shove him about of the way but he doesn't move in the slightest.
'Tell me what's wrong and I'll let you past.' I sigh and shake my head at him. 'Looks like this is what we're doing today then.' Zack giggles.
'Oh okay fine.' I pout. 'Alex hooked up with my friend Tina whilst he has a girlfriend of 6 years.'
'Yeah and? Is that what has got you down?' I nod my head at Zack.
'What if Jack does it to me.' I feel my eyes swell up with tears as two strong muscular arms wrap their way around my tiny frame.
'Aww there's no promise he won't do that too you...' I smack Zack's arm. 'But if he does I'll beat him up just for you'
'I don't really want to say thanks Zack but thanks.' He laughs and allows me to walk past him into the front lounge.
'Hey, ready to go?' Jack looks up from his phone and nods at me, he stands up and looks at me.
'Why have you been crying?'
'It's um allergies.' I attempt to lie.
'Hmm' Jack allows us to drop the subject and grabs my hand.
