ELIZABETH'S POV

It was about half way through the night and I think I had danced with all the guys. I was heavily drinking and stumbled over to Jack.

"Hey Jack." I smiled widely, wrapping my arms around him. He hugged me back and I suddenly realized how much I'd miss him.

"I'm going to miss you so much, it's not fair, I had to leave you, now you have to leave me. It's kind of like some sort of fucked up karma and I don't like it so I'm just going to steal you because your just so cute." I slurred, hanging all over Jack.

Alex came over and chuckled, "What's she rambling about?" he asked Jack.

I turned to him, "I'm stealing Jack because I love him and he's cute. But I think I'm going to steal you too, you're really hot, you know that. I wouldn't mind keeping you." I started hanging over Alex and he just laughed.

"We should get her home. Do you remember where your apartment is?" he asked sweetly.

"Of course! But I'm not that easy Alex. I think your attractive, but I'm not one to sleep together on the first night, but I might make an exception." I giggled as Alex and Jack helped me out to a cab.

I told them my address and we soon pulled up to my apartment complex. "Floor 3, room 8." I mumbled, trying to get comfortable against Jack.

"Come here." I felt two arms pick me up and carry me upstairs. I curled into them.

"I guess just lay her down on the bed." I heard Alex tell Jack. So I guess Jack was carrying me.

He laid me down and I curled up in the covers right away. "Comfy?" Jack chuckled. 

"Mhm." I closed my eyes.

JACK'S POV

I didn't want to leave her drunk. But I knew I had too. "I don't want to leave her." I told Alex.

"We have to get back though, bus call is at 2. I know you wanna stay Jack, but we should get going." I nodded my head at what Alex said.

I walked back to her room where she was sound asleep, I sighed. I was basically leaving my best friend I had just found.

"Jack, your just beating yourself up more. Come on." Alex pulled my arm a bit and I walked away with him.

I felt horrible. I didn't want to leave her. I knew I had too, but I didn't want too. It wasn't fair. Why would fate give her to me, then basically drag her away.

ELIZABETH'S POV

I woke up and sat up quickly, recalling the past day. I ran to the bathroom and threw up from a massive hang over. Fuck.

I walked  to the kitchen and grabbed some water and Tylenol. I groaned as I walked back into my room and grabbed my phone.

You're sweet <3 and I will! I miss you already! All of you of course. ps proper goodbyes are overrated (;

I locked my phone and took a quick shower. Finally feeling clean, I threw on blue denim jeans and a The Wonder Years crew neck. 

I didn't have to work today so I decided to just stay at home and chill. I made myself tea, and grabbed a nutrition bar. The two things I lived off of for my diet.

I heard my phone go off and looked at the log, seeing Alex was face time calling me.

I clicked the screen and two faces pulled up, Jack and Alex. "LIZ HEY" Jack yelled.

"Hey Jack, hey Alex!" I smiled happily. 

"We miss you!" Jack complained. "Yeah, there's nobody around attractive anymore except me and it's hard to hold up." Alex joked.

"I think you'll be fine." I winked at Alex and Jack rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, tours over in two weeks, and I think I'm going to fly you up here." Jack smiled.

"What if I don't want to go?" I inquired. 

"Then I'll steal you." Alex and Jack shared a look before they burst out laughing.

"What?" I frowned. Alex smirked, "You don't remember what you said last night?" 

I racked my brain before remembering and felt my face go red. "I was drunk, don't hold it against me." I frowned, hiding my face.

"I thought you wanted me to hold it against you." Alex smirked. Jack hit him but still laughed.

"You both suck." I stuck my tongue out.

"So what are you doing today?" Jack changed the subject.

"Probably just going to sit around. Drink tea. Maybe read a book. I don't know. You guys?" I asked.

"Play a show, then go to a bar, and then sleep. Same as always." Alex smiled. His smile made my heart stop.

I heard someone yell at them but couldn't make out what they were saying. "We have to go Liz, I'm sorry." Jack pouted.

"It's okay! Text me and tell me how the show goes though." I smiled. 

"I will. Bye, Liz, love you." Jack smiled. "Love you too, Jacky." 

"Do you love me?" Alex faked hurt. "I love you too, Lex." I giggled.

"Yay, I have a nickname!" His smiled his cute lopsided grin.

"Love you, bye!" he yelled.

They hung up and I smiled, those boys were crazy. I rested out over the couch and let my mind wander. 

I missed the guys, all of them. Jack and Alex most. I wanted to see them, but I couldn't afford to go see them, and I didn't know how to tell them that. Jack would insist on buying a ticket for me and I don't want them wasting money on me. 

My mind wandered to Alex and how nice he was. He basically accepted me right away. He was a nice guy and I'm not going to lie, he was hot. I would totally date him. He's just the type that everybody has to love.

Did I like Alex? No, he was Jack's best friend and something tells me Jack wouldn't even let us be together. Not that I want too. Or that Alex wants too. He sees me as a friend, and I'm completely okay with that.
