Ours. // J.G.

reunion.

The next few months were filled with random meetings with Alicia and Michael, the occasional baby sitting session with Lailah, and trying to balance work and my two families. I hadn't really gotten to see Jack because he had a bunch of new things happening so if I did get to see him, it was for a minute before one of us was whisked through the door, but hopefully I would get to see him tonight. It was Shawn's album release party, and he was throwing a small concert before it for a few lucky fans. No one was home, meaning I had to drive myself (first world problems, i know.) It was only about 4:30 and the show didn't start till 7:30. the venue was like 30 minutes away so i didn't feel like rushing. I showered and let my hair air dry as I selected an outfit. I decided on a tan leotard, that laced up in the upper chest. it had long sleeves and had a ribbed material. I put on some light blue jeans, and some thigh high tan wedged boots. I started doing my makeup, and listened to music as I did it. Once I got dressed, i put on some big hoops, and a gold watch along with my necklace Jack had given me with my name on it. I unplugged my phone from the charger and took a few selfies, and updated snap. I received a couple blue bubbles from my friends, and even one from jack who was replying to my picture with the dog filter. He replied "my pup" and it made me smile. i grabbed my purse, and car keys and hopped in the car. it was 6:00 but by the time i got to the venue it was 7. Traffic was honestly a bitch. After showing the guard my pass, I made my way backstage and saw Shawn tuning his guitar. He had grown so much since I had seen him, which was back in the summer of the previous year. He had gotten a tattoo, and seemed older in a way, but he was still my Shawn. I came up from behind him and hugged him. He jumped up which caused me to laugh and turned around.

"Babyyyyyyyyy" he sang. He put his guitar down, stood up and hugged me.

"Shawnnnnnn! How are you!" i said. He released me and ruffled his hand through his hair.

"I'm great! How are you! I saw you and Jack were back together.... that's great.. i'm Happy for you.. I missed you!" he said. his cheeks growing pink and i smiled at him

"I'm great... and i've missed you too. I can't wait for your show tonight, I'm beyond proud of you kid." I said. he smiled even more and shrugged.

"Thanks.. everyone should be coming soon.. i'm just nervous as always." he replied. I rolled my eyes.

"oh come on.. you're shawn freaking mendes. Those girls are gonna be putty when they see you" I said. His cheeks immediately turned bright red and at that very moment, I heard a very loud group of boys bounce in. When I turned around, Johnson, Nash, Hayes, Cam, Aaron, Taylor, Skate, Sam and Even Matt were walking inside, along with all my girl friends. Hayes and Nash raced over to me and Hayes won by and inch. He picked me up and squeezed me.

"How's my gfffffff. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN MONTHS LIA WTF" Hayes yelled. I laughed and began swatting his shoulders.

"Put me down you nut!" i yelled. He lightly put me down, and the Grier brothers enveloped me in a hug. This was the same routine for all the guys and then I realized my boyfriend was MIA.

"Where's Jack?" I asked.

"Traffic or something." Johnson said waving his hand. A sense of uneasiness overwhelmed me and I slowly nodded. Shawn began getting his mic on and the guys made themselves comfortable. I stood with Shawn by the curtain, and they gave me the okay to stand there the whole show. I helped him with his ear pieces, and fixed his shirt.

"don't be nervous." i said. He nodded slowly and let out a breath.

"Go knock em dead Shawn." I said. He smiled and nodded, knowing her couldn't speak because his mic was on. The band began playing and Shawn made his way on the stage. I watched as he breezed through two songs. Treat you better and Ruin. He started humming to his song which he said was called Mercy.

'You've got... a hold of me.. don't even know your power...' he sang. I began playing with my necklace, and listened to him sing. Shawn's voice always had that power over me. I suddenly felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist and I jumped slightly and turned. Jack was standing before me with a smile on his face.

"hey.. what took you so long?" i asked.

"traffic." he replied. I turned back around and we both listened to Shawn kill the rest of the song. Something about Jack's answer didn't settle right with me. We watched as Shawn killed the show, and we looked like proud parents. After the show we all suffocated him in a group hug and he went to shower quickly before the party. The guards escorted us outside, where we were almost attacked by fans. Jack held my hand tightly, careful to not let me go. The guards escorted us across the street to the party venue, and we took our seats. We all ordered what we wanted, and Jack began toying with my princess ring. I payed him no mind and we just filled each other in about our lives over the passed couple weeks. We then began talking with everyone at the table, and at one point I caught him staring at me.

"what?" i laughed nervously.

"i missed you.." he whispered. I smiled and blushed slightly.

"I missed you more.." i replied. he lightly kissed my head, and then Johnson's eyes lit up.

"Guys... Baby's birthday is like... two weeks away! awe my baby sister is turning 20!" he yelled. I rolled my eyes and everyone began aweing. It was already almost a year since I had moved back home.

"i know I know.." i said.

"are you doing a party?" Liv asked.

"i'm not throwing one.. it's a lot of work... i'm not even really a party person anymore. " i replied. i could see all the wheels in their heads working and i sighed. Then i remembered that Jack and I never took our trip to Puerto Rico he asked about a few months back.

"We'll see." They said. i rolled my eyes and the rest of the night, we celebrated shawn and his work.
