Right When You Think Life Is Good

Chapter 12: Where To?

As I sang my song I saw the smile on Kim's face grow.

"We'll be counting stars" I finished right before we went to commercial break.

That was a song that Kim had started writing but never could figure out the last few verses.

We talked to Ellen before we went backstage and got all of our things. We went back to the tour bus and the guys including Milton this time went to play video games.

"So how'd you find my song?" Kim asked as she sat on my lap. We are currently in the front lounge with the guys in the back. R5 had to get to sound check before me because they go on first.

"I might have snooped around while your mom was getting stuff from your room." I replied.

"Really Jack?" Kim asked with a somewhat sarcastic tone. "What else did you find?" She said in a more serious tone this time.

"Just a few notebooks labeled Kim's diary..." I trailed off.

"What?!" Kim nearly screamed. "Did you read them?" She frantically asked.

"No, I figured if you hadn't told me, it either wasn't important or you didn't want me to know. And I respect that." Jack said.

"And suddenly I remember why I like you so much ." Kim said, giving me a kiss on the check.

"We'll you would do the same, like earlier today when I told you that what I was keeping from you wasn't important you stopped asking me questions about it." I stated.

"Yeah." Kim said with a smile. she leaned into me more and buried her face in my chest.

"Tired?" I chuckled. She nodded her head and yawned.

"I have to go to sound check in a few minutes." I said. I felt bad but I didn't really have an option.

"Okay." She started trying to wriggle out of my lap but I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"I said in a few minutes. And if you want I can just carry you to my dressing room, that way if you wake up before the show is over you can still see some of it." I told her. She nodded her head. A few seconds later her breathing slowed down.

When it came time for me to head to sound check I carried Kim to my dressing room and laid her down on the couch. I went to sound check and ran threw everything, then R5 and I had to do a question and answer type thing at a VIP sound check.

After the question and answer sound check I went back to my dressing room to do some vocal warm ups. I made sure I wasn't too loud because I didn't want to wake Kim.

Once R5 was done performing I went out and performed a few songs. The audience demanded an encore so I performed one extra song before going back to my dressing room.

I walked into my dressing room to see Kim sitting on the couch with her phone in her hands.

"What're you doing?" I asked, as I changed out of my sweaty shirt.

"Playing 'Flappy Bird'" Kim responded. I walked around the dressing room looking for my clothes. " What are you looking for?" She asked after a minute.

"Have you seen my black book bag?" I asked.

"Yeah, Jerry came in and said you asked him to grab it." Kim replied, confused.

"Jerry stole my clothes?" I said more then asked.

"I didn't know that Jerry was just taking your clothes. I'm sorry." Kim apologized.

"It's okay, I'll just change on the bus." I said. I grabbed my stuff, while Kim gather her belongings, then I grabbed her hand before walking out the door.
