Let's Live Like Jack and Sally (Jack Barakat)

Chapter 3: I'm Lost Without You

 It had been a few days since I had spoken to Jack. The last time I had seen him was Friday night; I was laying on his chest, bare naked in his bed. I asked Alex to take me home since Jack was still asleep. After a few hours back at my place, I decide to give him a call.

“Hey, it's Jack. I can't get to the phone right now. Leave a message.”

The tone beeps and I sigh.

“Hey Jack, it's Becca. Just calling to see when we can chill again. It was fun. Call me back.”

I hang up and toss my phone on my bed, hoping that Jack would get back to me soon. I know I had just met him and we fucked on the first date, but I still feel like there's a MAJOR connection between him and I. I needed him. Moments later, I hear my phone ring. I snatch it and slide the bar.

“Hello?"
“Hey, Becca. It's Jack. Sorry I missed your call.”
“It's okay. How've you been?”
“Honestly, terrible. Without you, I feel so lost. It's weird.”
“I feel the same way.”
“Are you busy for the next few months?”

I look at my calender on my phone quickly and say, “Nope. Why?”

“Wanna come on tour with me and the boys?”

I smile wide.

“Of course.”
“I'll be over in a few to talk more with you.”
“Alright. When are we leaving?”
“Day after tomorrow.”

He hangs up and 5 minutes later, I hear a knock at the door. I answer it and Jack comes in, kissing me before closing the door behind him. He and I exchange looks, then Jack smiles and gets down on one knee. I look down at him in confusion. “Jack, what are you doing?” He smiles and takes my hand. “Becca, I know I've only known you for a short time, but I feel like I've know you forever. Will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend and keeping em company on this tour?” I smile and look down at him and nod, pulling his face to mine, kissing him deeply.

He and I spend the rest of the day together, talking about anything, everything, and nothing. It was by far the bestt experience in my entire life. I was able to be myself for once, and I didn't have to worry about who was around me because I knew that Jack wouldn't judge me. He would take me for who I was.

Wednesday comes faster that I thought it would. I had all of my bags packed and I had them sat by the front door. I hear a knock on the door at 5 am. I jump up from the couch, a yawn escaping as I open the door. Jack looks at me, all of his gorgeous hair covered in a beanie, and says, “Ready to go?” I nod and he grabs my bags, me locking the door behind me. I walk with Jack to the giant white bus and wait outside for him to put my bags under the bus. He and I link fingers and get on the bus, going to the bunks and claiming one as OURS. He and I climb in together, falling fast asleep in each others arms.
