"Woah, am I getting the silent treatment too?" Jack asked Grace because it's been hours since they left the bookstore and she kept her mouth closed until now. Grace turned her face to him and saw him smiling while looking straight at the road in front of him.

"No, sorry. You want to talk about something?" she said to him and he chuckled.

"If you don't mind. I know you're not okay so, it's up to you. I won't force you to talk to me if you want some times for yourself," he told understandingly. Grace sighed and admitted that he's right but she was also hoping that something would distract her mind from being so guilty.

"I don't mind," Grace said then exhaled hard, "why do I feel so afraid," she continued.

Jack glanced at her for a few seconds then turned his head to the road again. "You okay?" he asked as he rubbed the back of her head. "Yeah," Grace replied then looked at him. Jack moved her hand and then rubbed her cheek.

"I just--" she stopped and bit her lower lip before turning to Jack, "it's not fair for Calum. I mean, I just told him about his parents and then I shot his girlfriend," Grace spoke quietly not wanting anybody to hear what she said besides Jack.

"I know. Grace, he doesn't hate you," Jack tried to convince her but by what she saw, Calum definitely hated her. "Don't punish yourself because of this. It's not all your fault--"

"Who's fault then, Jack?" Grace cut his sentence and asked. "No one, just me," she shook her head.

Jack reached for her head and rubbed her head slowly. She couldn't be like this all the time. He pulled her until her head was on Jack's shoulder.

On the backside of the van, Calum was sitting alone and he felt weird for not having anyone to cuddle while everyone had their own partner. Remembering that he just lost Amanda formed a very painful feeling on his chest. He's craving for her warm embrace but he's not having it anymore from now on. He looked at the front side of the van where Jack and Grace were and saw how Grace was leaning her head on Jack's shoulder.

He couldn't lie to himself, he still had that feeling from the day when they went to the party that he didn't like Grace being too physically close with Jack. But who he is to her? He couldn't even say anything anymore. Their friendship was ruined. Well, that's what he thought.

"Calum," Michael nudged him and he then moved closer to him since that Joy was having a conversation with Nathalie.

"You know she's sorry right?" he spoke but then Calum rolled his eyes. He's not in the mood of talking about Grace even though she was the only person that he had been thinking of.

"Drop it, Mike. Let me sleep," Calum told him and he then started closing his eyes trying to sleep. But then he peeked through his eyelids looking at Michael who sighed disappointedly and went back to Joy.

"Hey, it's getting pretty late, you want to switch?" Ashton asked to Jack who's actually couldn't hide his sleepiness.

"Yeah, thanks, Ash," he spoke as he pulled over on the side of the street in the middle of the chilly night.

"Grace, you're okay sitting on the back?" Jack asked while he, Grace, Ashton, and Nathalie were outside the van.

"Yeah," Grace replied.

"You know, Grace, don't take it too personal, about what Calum said. He's just depressed," Ashton squeezed Grace's shoulder.
