Jack soon enugh gets back on stage and of course, leave it to Zach to make things worse than they already are.

"So Jack-a-boy, where's the Misses?" he smirks as he looks to jack

"up you're a-"

"ANYWAY" Corbyn jumps in

"Nack! Nack! Na-"

"No no. No Nack." Jack smiles

"boooo!" the crowd yells back and Jack looks side stage to me for help

"I don't care. " I mouth to him and he just gives me a more intense look and points to the spot on stage next to him

"you want me out there?" I question and he nods eagerly

God dammit, Jack.

"hey, big guy. Give me a mic?" I turn and ask one of the tech guys as he hands me one and I run out on stage

"yeah yeah you can quit booing poor Jack." I roll my eyes as I stand next to the boys

"does that mean?" Corbyn asks, you can see just how confused he really is

"I mean.. " Jack looks at me, and I just sigh

I can't believe I'm doing this

"yes." I fake smile as though I'm actually enjoying this

"Now Stop booing poor Jack, that is unless you're Regina George, you have a burn book, hate the word fetch and will rename him Karen." I flip my hair over dramatically for the sake of mean girls and leave the stage as the crowd cheers

Meet and greet time

I'm sitting off to the side where I'm not in the way at the end of where the boys are lined up, so the people in the meet and greet don't have to bother with me, yet almost every other one if not all of them, come to me after the boys for a picture.

"sweetie you know she's not apart of the meet and greet, right?" Jack asks a fan who approaches me, giving me a slight glare as he does so

"Oh I know, But as long as its okay with her I'd like to still get a picture. With the both of you possibly? I know I can't say Im a fan of you, Nikki, because I've only just found out who you are. But I still plan on becoming one so I might as well get a running start. " she smiles and it's nothing but pure happiness across her face

"Holy fuck, how are you so sweet!" I laugh slightly as I hug her and we take the picture

Another girl pulls me over next to where Jack is standing and I end up taking pictures with him for the rest of the meeting and greet.

"Is that it?" I turn to ask Zach but the look on his face gives my my answer

"...Theres more? Gosh how much of you guys can these girls take. " I laugh as we head to the couches in the corner of the room

"this is the last, it's a hour long hang out and qna with the fans after they get back from their restroom or wherever break." Zach smiles

"great so we're going to get asked about this relationship." I laugh

"please, Nikki. They support it and I don't want them disappointed." Zach pleads

"yeah yeah, now shut you're face they're coming." I laugh as I squish his face and he tackles me

"Zach you know I'll win! I've won every time since we could walk!" I struggle as I fight with him

"not the time you broke you're leg!" he says as if he were proud

"I couldn't move my leg or walk what did you expect?" I laugh as I finally pin him and Jonah jumps on the ground tapping it a few times and telling something sporty.

"ha, I win"

"ha, she wins." the fans copy me and mock Zach

We make our way over the the sitting area and I make my way over to Jack, sitting between him and Zach. Grabbing Jacks hand as I do so.

"What are you doing?" Jack asks aloud and we all give him a look that reads nothing but shut the fuck up.

You can see the lightbulb in his bird brain go off as he catches up to everyone else in the room

"you can't sit there." Jack speaks again

"and why not?" I ask back, genuinely confused
"Because, Jach. Duh." He says in the most Duh tone ever as he pulls me off the couch by my hand, sits in my seat then pulls me down into his lap

"nice save." Zach whispers to him

"for real." I laugh

"alright well now that we have jealous Jack out of the way, who wants go ask their question." Daniel laughs

"ohhhh! I have one for Jacky." A shirt blonde girl, maybe around the age of 13, smiles and cheers at the end of the couch

"okay, we will start at that end and make our way to this end and depending on time we may or may not make Our way back around." Jonah smiles

"Great, well my question is how long have you been secretly dating Nikki, and if it's been such a secret, who all knee before today?" She smiles

Jack and I both look at eachother in panic

"It hasn't been long. "

"Only Zach Knew. " We both spoke at the same time

"shut you're curly headed face, I'm talking." I laugh slightly as I cover jacks mouth

"why only Zach?" she asks again

"Yeah, why only me? " Zach backs her up

"Zach! Shush. And because I had Yet to meet Jonah, Corbyn had his own girlfriend and didn't need to know, and not going to lie I didn't like Daniel when I first met him so I only told Zach because he's like my little brother." I shrug

"that doesn't answer why Jack didn't tell them." Both her and Zach shoot back

"I'm not gonna fuck with what she says. She said no, I said okay." Jack laughs a bit

The questions Continue, every now and then leading back to Jack and myself. That is until the meet and greet is officially over and we say our final goodbyes.

"Get off me." Jack and I both growl as we push off of eachothers arms and go to separate side of the meet and greet room

"you're one hell of an actor." Jonah laughs

"did you really not like me when we first meet?" Dani pouts

"oh no Dani. You were one of my favorites. I was hinting at Jack because he's irritating." I smile up at him

"no he's not." Dani laughs
"he so is. " I laugh

"Well he's your 'boyfriend' Niks, not mine. " he laughs and walks off

"ZACH!" I yell as I walk to him

"YES?" He yells back

"what did you get me into!" I whine

"I got you a date." he laughs

"I don't want it" I pout

"you can take it back." Jack rolls his eyes

"do it again! Let's see if they fall out this time!" I clap after he rolls his eyes once more

"literally anyone and you set me up with her, I thought you loved me." Jack over dramatically walks off

"Touche dude." I shake my head in disappointment and walk off

"I'm sorry?" Zach questions as he stands there in Confusion

I better get paid for this much acting.
