my baby didn't win anything today at the iHeart awards but he won my heart so that's something, right?

HE WAS SO GOOD TONIGHT HIS PERFORMANCE WAS STRAIGHT FIRE but he didn't smile as much and that made me sad. But anyway yeah here's a hot picture of my lil angel for you to enjoy.

(THIS IS A FILLER )

t h r e e — j u l i e t t e

I check my outfit over one last time in the mirror, finally satisfied with the simple white tee and ripped blue jeans. Jack lays on my bed, humming to himself as I finish getting ready. His shirt rides up a bit on his toned torso, causing me to stare.

"Are you ready now ?" he asks impatiently, moving his phone out of his view so he can look over my outfit, smirking when he catches me staring at him. I glance away quickly.

"Uh yeah, lets go." I say. I grab my black lanyard and my phone off my desk, following Jack down the stairs.

He puts on his coat before taking mine off the rack and holding it out for me. I put both my arms in, thanking him for helping me.

"You're welcome." he says, smiling goofily. He slaps my ass as he follows me out the door, causing me to yelp and scold him.

Jack beats me to the AUX, so I'm stuck with listening to him attempt to sing along to Panic! at The Disco the whole ride to the restaurant we are meeting our friends at. Not that I'm really complaining though.

Jack parks as close as he can to the restaurant, seeing as it's a Saturday and people usually come to town on the weekends. That's why we always have to reserve our spot in advance.

Jack pulls me into his side as we walk to the door, his warm hand resting on my hip.

As soon as I open the door to the restaurant, the smell of cigarettes, chicken wings, and beer wafts to my nose. People gather at the bar, screaming expletives at the screen. I always forget about the football playoffs on the weekends.

Jack stands protectively by my side as we push our way through the overcrowded bar area. I spot my friends gathered at a booth in the back, farthest from the commotion and cigarettes.

"Hey, guys!" Mia greets, standing to embrace me in a hug.

Mia invited some of our other friends with us. It's us three, and then my other friends, Lauren and Chloe, and two of Jack and I's friends, Grayson and Matthias. Chloe's shy around the guys, so she subtly smiles at me and Jack in greeting.

We sit down at our little booth, the waitress placing waters in front of all of us. We just order an appetizer of nachos to split. The waitress nods, leaving hurriedly to attend to another one of her tables.

Mia's eyes meet with mine, her lips curling up into a smirk.

Oh no.

"So why did you leave the shop early yesterday?" she asks me. I inhale deeply, taking a sip of my water.

"Okay, you can't tell Jack though," I say quietly. I glance over and notice Jack is speaking with the boys and Chloe and Lauren are laughing at whatever the boys are saying.

Mia nods, her eyes focused on my lips, anticipating what I'm about to tell her. "Okay, so do you know the cute guy that went in last night? He was wearing a suit. He has dark hair." I question, studying her expression. She furrows her brows, trying to recall someone of my description.

"No-Oh yes! Yes! He has a tattoo on his right arm. Tall, right?" She asks giddily. I nod.

"Yes, him! Well, we ran into each other and he spilled his coffee on both of us, swore at me, and ran off." I say. She makes an "O" shape with her mouth in realization.

"That's why! I thought you just ditched." she says with a shrug. I laugh.

"No, I wouldn't. But yeah, kinda weird, right? Does he go there often?"

"Yeah, I've seen him there several times. He is always wearing sunglasses and I think that's some shady shit right there." She suggests, sipping her water. Her eyes flicker behind me as the waitress approaches with our food.

As soon as she places the large dish of loaded nachos on the table, the boys reach out and help themselves. Chloe and I share an irritated glance as we wait for them to take their share.

The rest of the small dinner is pretty quiet between all of us. Mostly us girls listened to the boys banter and laugh with each other. I almost choke on my water when Jack slaps Gray with a decorative tortilla slice.

The boys finally calm down, all of them sitting on their phones. I feel my head starting to get heavy, my eyes closed.

"Hey guys, I think we're gonna get back. Whittle Juju needs her beauty sleep." Jack coos. I smack his arm lightly.

"Hush."

He laughs, pulling me up with him.

"Bye guys, nice seeing you all again. We need to get together more often. How about next Saturday? Same time, different place maybe?" He asks.

"We'll text you." Lauren says.

"Okay. Bye" he replies. I wave goodbye, stumbling after Jack.

My head pounds with a raging headache, my eyes hurting from all the lights. I just want to go home and sleep.

Jack helps me into the car, turning the radio on the lowest volume.

"Wanna go back to mine instead? It's closest. You could sleep there and go back to your place in the morning." He offers.

"Mhm." I reply briefly.

Despite my best efforts to fall asleep, I can't the entire drive to Jack's house. My body is weak and my eyes are sore, but I can't keep my busy mind from wandering.

When we arrive at his house, Jack helps me out of the car again and carries me up to his room.

"Do you just want to sleep in that or borrow some clothes?" he asks quietly, closing the door behind him.

"Could I borrow some sweats?" I ask softly. He nods, helping me out of my skinny jeans that are an actual challenge getting out of when my legs feel like jello and I have the strength of a newborn fawn.

He assists me in pulling on his long gray sweatpants. I giggle to myself at how baggy and long they are on me.

I crawl into bed next to Jack, snuggling into the crook of his neck.
