Jack's POV
        The whole day I've been kind of dragging myself around. Everything is kind of just going by super slow today. It sucks when you're hungry as balls, but you already had breakfast. As I tape the spot for Mark's microphone I feel a pair of hands on my shoulders making me jump. I look behind and standing there is Ashley.
"Hey," I give a small smile.

"Hey, I finally get to see you dude," she grins opening her arms for me and I give her a quick hug.

"So what have you been up to?"

"Laying in my bunk, watching sad movies, and doing my job," I shrug, "I have drums left to do and then I have to go help with the merch table."

"Sweet and then we can do lunch?"

"Yes, then we can do lunch."
            Ashley watches me set up the drums and tune them. You know all the usual stuff I have to do. Once I'm finished she goes off to find Mark and I go to my next station.

Mark's POV
          I'm talking to Wade about tonight, but I'm stopped mid sentence when I feel a hand slap the back of my head. My hand flies to my head anms I turn around. Ashley stands there with an angry expression.
"Ash! I didn't know you were coming!"

"Yeah I have a signing tomorrow. What the hell did you do to Jack? Last time I saw him he was all happy and rambunctious."

"I broke up with him, but you don't understand."

"Why did you break up with that wonderful boy?! He was perfect for you!"

"I know he was, but can you just listen to me please?"

"Fine, you may speak."
               I then explain everything. Thankfully she understands and believes me easier than Jack ever did.
"You better have a good plan for getting him back or so help me God I will not hesitate to kick the shit out of you."

"Don't worry I have a plan. Which I'm glad you're here for. Since it's happening tonight."

"It better be good."

Jack's POV
         Ashley and I walk back to the venue talking and having a good time. We walk inside the building and we get ready for the show. I put on my lanyard so then if I get locked out from the building they'll let me back in. Ashley has her own and just hangs out by the fold out table as I rush around to get tonight's show ready.
            Fans start filing in as I tune the drums once again to make sure they're good. I fix all the microphones and I hear some screams from the crowd. When I look up I see a bunch of girls waving. I look behind me and see no one. So I wave back confused as shit and go back to working.
             I head backstage and take a seat for a quick moment. Ashley just plays around on her phone as I sit beside her quietly waiting for my walky talky. Which surprisingly doesn't go off at all.
              Once all the people are inside and 7:30 hits the band goes out onstage. Ashley, Katy, Felix and I all watch from backstage. Even though I really didn't want to they insisted I watched.
"Okay, so this a little bit different tonight. We aren't going to be playing the original set list. Instead we'll be playing all the songs we've been writing lately for our new album 'Ode To You'. Which we're all excited about."
            Everyone cheers after Mark speaks and I furrow my eyebrows. Nobody told me that this was happening.
"Now as you all may know that I was in relations with this guy," a great amount of people cheer, "I was really dumb and I was an asshole. I gave him up for my work and his. We weren't supposed to date or like each other, but we totally disregarded all of it. Which I don't regret."
         I feel tears brim my eyes, but I soon blink them away.
"I know I'm rambling a lot, but I'm trying to get him back. I've tried and tried, but I've just hurt him so much that I don't know if he'll ever take me back," Mark turns his body to face me as I stand backstage, "Jack, this is my last attempt and I hope you finally forgive me after this. All of these are my apology to you. So just stay and listen please."
            Mark then puts the mic back on the stand and they start to play the new song. (A/N set list up above). He plays the first song and it brings back good memories, but as the set list goes on I feel my heart break.
"This next one is called Photograph. Make sure to watch the screens."
            I furrow my eyebrows and move so I can be able to look at the screens. Once Mark starts singing the lyrics all the pictures I developed come onto each one. Tears brim my eyes and I cover my mouth with my hand to conceal my cries. As soon as the pictures stop it's little videos of us two or just me. You can faintly hear the audio of each clip, but the song kind of cancels it out. However once it's just the instruments you can hear every word of the clip playing.
"You aren't getting your shirt back," I giggle in the video.
