As I threw things into my bags, packing messily, I couldn't help but be excited. We were leaving for the UK portion of A Love Like Tour in two days. I couldn't wait. Not only was I excited to get back on stage, but I was very eager to get back to touring, because that meant I'd be close to Jack. I cant help but feel like we've drifted away from each other a little, with not being together constantly and what not. Though really I had seen him a few days ago when he was over to mine. I missed him.
You see, Jack has been my best friend for sometime. So me missing him really isn't too unusual. Considering we're virtually inseparable. We do everything together. From going places to cuddling in bed sometimes. I mean hey, it isn't odd to cuddle with your best friend. Or anyone for that matter. Let's face it. I just love to cuddle. Anyway. A few years back, I realized I had started to feel different about Jack. But it didn't change anything. Because no one knew. And it was quite easy to hide, with how we acted anyway. I could get away with just about anything. But I knew eventually, something would get out. I just hoped it wouldn't.
I sighed softly and zipped up my suitcase, throwing it beside the door for easy access and flopped down on the couch. I reached for the remote and turned on the TV. I wasn't really watching it. I mostly used it for background sound while I did mindless things around the house, it was a waste of money, quite honestly.
"Huh.." I muttered, looking around for Baz, and finding him curled up on his bed. I didn't want to wake him so I just kinds sat there, staring at the wall for what seemed like hours, but was probably only minutes. Finally, after trying to think of something to do, I decided I'd go sit outside and play with Baz. So I called him over as I put on my shoes. He sprung up and ran directly to me as he always does. Man how I love this little dog. Hes one of my best friends.
I stood up and grabbed a coat before walking out the door, Baz following eagerly. I almost immediately decided it was too cold for my liking, but since I had woken Baz up specifically to come out here, I picked up a ball and threw it. He ran after it, quickly losing it in the snow. I chuckled to myself and watched him search for it before he finally gave up, about 10 minutes later.
He walked over to the door, signaling he was ready to go back in and i followed quickly, wanting out of the cold. As I got inside I slowly shed my coat and shoes, no need in making a snowy mess to clean up later. I walked back to the couch and took my phone out if my pocket, unlocking it with ease. The screen showed I had one text and two calls. The calls were my mother. And the text was from Jack.
I smiled to myself and opened it.
-Hey Lex. You busy today?? ~J
•Nope. Just got inside. What for?
I didn't put the letter at the end. He knew who I was. I questioned why he had done it. But its Jack. The less questions the better. I easily dialed my mom's number and called her back.

Turns out mom just wanted to make sure I was doing okay. Normal mom things.
We talked for about 20 minutes. And it felt like forever knowing I had a message from Jack about three minutes into the conversation. I mean I loved my mom, don't get me wrong. But she talks forever on the phone.
-No reason. Just wondering if you wanted to hang? I'm bored as fuck. ~J
•Sure. Ill be over in a few. (;
I sent the message without a second thought and shoved my phone into my pocket. Looks like I had plans for the day. I ran my hand through my hair and pulled my shoes back on, grabbing my keys as I walked out the door.
