~Sarah's POV~
Cara and I had been staying at my house for about two weeks while I worked on writing new songs and trying to stay consistent with everything having to do with work and such. Jack had left on tour, and he would be back soon hopefully because it's been 3 months and I can feel him slipping away. Madison's managers had asked to take their relationship to a new level, making him propose to her. The world went wild for a while over them. And I honestly, thought the ring was trash. I even wrote a song about the whole thing. But publishing it would be a huge no no. So I hid it in my fire proof safe in my room. Today, like everyone before it since Cara has been at my house her boyfriend, Shawn was over. And I was sitting on the floor with my pajamas on while they laid together on the couch. Giggling and kissing and eating my food. I made small murmurs of curse words on God everytime I heard the words "I love you more" or "no I love you more", or their kinda cute little saying, "I fit you," meaning Cara's hand fits in Shawn's just right, and vice versa. Other little inside jokes go with that as well but I don't wanr to think about my best friend and my other friend having sex in my guest bedroom. I checked my phone constantly.
As I was checking a text from 'Johnson af' which read "We miss your food. Airplane food sucks" followed by a spam of sad emojis, I heard Shawn joke, "We could be having sex over here and she wouldn't even know."
Cara chimed in, "She might be sexting over there, who really knows?"
I scoffed loudly as I stood up from the inside of a field of pages and pencils laid out pretty nicely on my living room floor, "I'm going to get Starbucks. Want something?"
Cara jumped off Shawn and almost fell on my work, "I'm in!" She yelled as Shawn caught her by the hips. I silently thanked him for his cat like reflexes. I informed them I was going to become decent looking and then I would drive my little posse to Starbucks. I darted into my room and began to put on some fierce everyday make up inspired by the aesthetic of lana del rey, but I left out the foundation because my skin looked fine today. I let my hair out of its vicious hair tie. Then I grabbed a simple pair of ripped skinny jeans that hugged my larger bottom just right, I opted for a nice lacey bra because I wanted to feel good today, I covered that with a sweater that was perfect for selfies. Red lipstick or purple? I rummaged through my make up drawer before deciding that just some chap stick would suffice as a lip product. I grabbed my purse, my phone, my keys, and my circular sun glasses then on went my black converse and we were out the door. Shawn and Cara sat in the back seat together to cuddle and take photos. I was honestly jealous of their love for each other. Mainly because they could show. They were allowed to love each other. As I drove I tried to drown out Cara and Shawn's kissing sounds by playing Jack and Jack's ep loudly. After we had arrived at Starbuks and had made our way inside, Shawn questuoned me, "I thought you, ya know, hated Jack Gilinsky? But you were singing along with him in the car."
I just stared at him and said, "It's catchy."
He furrowed his eyebrows a little and Cara practically sang, "I need coffffeeeee come on Shawn let's order." I laughed a little as soms fans barred them from ordering and instead asked for pictures and autographs. I watched from a little far away. I even made my order before they were any where close to done. I sat at a table on the other side of the restaurant -drinking and iced vanilla coffee with just the right amount of bitterness to make me weak at the knees like Jack does- waiting for them to finish. I didn't noticed because I diverted my attentuon to texting Johnson, that a fan strayed away from the pack and was now asking me for a picture.
She looked about 16, but she also looked a little fraile like she'd just got off a cold, she was so nervous I could tell, she barely spoke when she said, "Excuse me, uh, Sarah, would you mind if I took a picture with you and maybe had some coffee with you?"
I was so excited I said, "Oh gosh, of course!" I paused for a moment, "Can we take a selfie on my phone too?" She nodded, pretty happily. We took about four or five selfies together before she sat down in the chair across from me to have some coffee.
After she had some silence she said, "Uh, so I'm sure you've heard about Jadison?"
I chewed on my straw a little and then said, "Yeah. Why?"
She swallowed a big gulp of coffee and whispered, "I think that Jarah is more real than Jadison could ever be."
I almost spit my coffee all over this girl, I leaned in close to her and said, "Jarah could never happen." I didn't say that with much conviction.
The girl, who's name I learned to be Ember, said, "Sarah come on, you know it's true. Look how unhappy Jack is." She pulled up a picture of him on her phone and pushed it across the table, "I didn't come here to be lied to I came here to talk business."
I tried to laugh at how serious she was. I said, "Ember. Jarah can never exist." I bite my lip hard then whispered, "Not even in a perfect world." Ember stared at me in disbelief. I said, "Scouts honor. We never spoke after those pictures were taken. I'll even follow you on twitter."
Ember took a deep breath, "Proof. Follow me now and if you unfollow I need something, like a picture of you guys so I know it happened or is happening something, I won't share. I'll even pinky promise." She paused, "Or I tell everyone what you said. And I am a respected blogger so watch it."
I took a sip of my coffee then said, "Deal." I followed her on twitter and DMed her a photo of Jack and I totally kissing and one looking at each other as if the world could be ending around us ans we wouldn't care, "There. Enough?"
Ember kept a poker face but her eyes looked as if she had just found the national treasure right in front of Nicholas Cage, "Thank you, Sarah. Pleasure doing business with you."
We shook hands and I gave her a tip, "Play poker, Ember, but make sure you buy good sun glasses."*****HEEEYYY sorry that is a really long wait for four pages but I can't tell you how many times I rewrote this chapter and everything oh my god it was a challenge.
