Thank you, Elmakias.

Lowell, MA

"Who's the most talented in the band?" The interviewer asked.

Jack put his arm around my shoulders, "Definitely me."

"Nah, it's me." Alex said.

"No, Alex. It's me."

"Jack, you don't even know how to play your guitar."

"But I'm good at blowjobs."

We laughed.

"Maddy?" She asked.

"Uhhh. Me." I said. "I'm the only chick in a band with four guys who act like their 2. And I put up with them. That's true talent if you ask me."

"Agreed." She nodded, "Who's the most immature."

"Probably a tie between these two." I stated.

"That is very true." Alex said.

"Most mature?"

"Rian." We all said at the same time then laughed.

"Definitely Rian." I said again.

"Who.." She said, looking down at her papers. "Who's the funniest drunk."

Alex and I immediatley pointed to Jack.

"He's hilarious." Alex stated.

"Except when he throws up everywhere." I said. "And he's too drunk to clean it up."

"Do you end up cleaning it up?" She laughed.

I sighed, "Yes."

They laughed at me and Jack kissed my temple as if saying Yeah, thanks for all those times.

I smiled and laid my head on his shoulder.

"Awe." She smiled at us then asked, "How long have you two been dating?"

"What day is it?" I asked.

"October 8th." Alex said.

"It'll be exactly five months in five days." Jack answered.

I looked up at him and smiled. He smiled down at me. It's so adorable how he has the day memorized. I turned back to the girl, "Yeah."

"May 13th." He smiled.

I laid my head on his shoulder. Still adored with him.

"So cute." She smiled and looked at Alex, "Are you still dating Lisa?"

"Yeah." He said, "She's out now though. Getting her hair diiiddd."

"Oh she's on tour with you?"

The interview went on for a little longer until she ran out of questions and left. Then Alex left to go somewhere, leaving Jack and I on the couch alone.

I was still cuddled up to his side, playing with his hand until Abby stormed onto the bus, slamming the door behind her.

She was crying.

"Did you tell him?" I asked.

"YEAH I FUCKING TOLD HIM." She shouted and ran to the bunks.

"What happend?" I called. Not feeling bad that she's crying.

"HE BROKE UP WITH ME. WHAT DO YOU THINK?" She cried. "IT'S ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT."

"Sorry." I shrugged and hugged Jack's side.

"Where's Zackypoo?" Jack asked, stroking my hair.

"I don't know. He grabbed his skateboard and rode off."
