Ross POV
I was sitting on the beach with Jacqueline. We were watching the sun go down. "I could stay in this moment forever." I whispered.
"Me too." She whispered back. I saw that she was blinking back tears. I pulled her towards me so that I could look her in the eyes, and hugged her tight.
"What's wrong, baby?"
She kissed me on the cheek and said, "I'm sorry. I just...I'm gonna miss you. You just got here and-"
"I know, I know, trust me I know. I wish you could come but-"
"I know, no girls on the tour bus. I have to go to school anyways."
I sighed. "Well, I'm gonna facetime you every chance I get and we'll text like constantly-"
She kissed me on the lips. "You can't do that over facetime." She smiled through her tears. Slowly we laid down in the sand, with her on top of me. Her phone started ringing in the back pocket of her shorts and I grabbed it for her. "Hey!" she laughed.
I answered the phone to hear Riker's voice. "Hi Jacq-"
"Riker it's me." I said.
"Oh, perfect...well look, bro, we gotta get going. Come up to the house no-" I hung up the phone. Jacqueline ran up and jumped in my arms with her legs wrapped around my waist. I hugger her so tightly that I thought she might lose the ability to breathe. I carried her up the stairs like this to find everyone waiting.
Ellington and Nicole were saying goodbye (earning angry looks from Rydel), Riker was telling Chelsey that he had a great time with her, but he had to go blah blah blah..and Ryland had a girl under each arm and was telling them to "hit him up"...and Rocky was leaning on an open car window.
"Riker," I said. "Who is Rocky talking to?"
Riker kissed Chelsey quickly and then addressed me, "Ummm..look Ross...I don't want you to be mad but Rocky met a girl this afternoon and she's gonna follow the bus in her car-"
"What!? Then Jacqueline gets to come with me. That's not fair! I-" I felt Jacqueline's hand pulling me from behind.
"Ross, I have to stay. You have to go. You have to rock the world, remember?"
"But...ahhh" I had no words. Jacqueline realized this and leaned in for one last kiss.
She pulled out a box from behind her back. "I baked you cookies." She handed me the box. "If you eat one every day, they will last until tour is over."
I hugged her and said, "Thank you. You are the sweetest girlfriend ever"
"You have to go now. Everyone else is on the bus."
I looked around and saw that she was right. I couldn't say anything. I was too sad to think. I climbed the steps and sat down, looking out the window at the love of my life. A tear rolled down my cheek and onto the glass.
Jacqueline POV
It was hard watching him leave. I already missed him. I watched the back of the bus turn around the corner before heading back towards my front door. As I turned to go, I felt my phone vibrating. I took it out of my back pocket, I couldn't help but think of Ross. I looked at the screen and saw the selfie Rosss and I had taken earlier for his contact picture. I felt a smile creep across my face before I answered it.
I heard Ross's voice, "I miss you already."
I laughed and said, "Man up!"
"Hey!" He laughed back. We talked on the phone for hours. "Okay." He finally said. "We are at the hotel so I gotta go now. But don't forget that I love you, and that I'll call you tomorrow morning."
"I love you too, Ross." The beeps from my phone told me that the call was over.
