Average//Jack Avery

Caitlin's POV

The show is now finished and the after show Meet and Greet party. Right now all the guys are spread out, and talking to different fans. Of course Peyton's with Jonah and I'm with Jack, right now Jack and I are with a few fans answering questions.

"So how did y'all meet?" One asks.

"Funny story actually, well you see my friend Peyton and I went to Panera one morning before school," I started.

"Wait you mean Peyton as in Jonah's Peyton?" Another fan asked.

"Yes, actually she was "mine" you could say before she met Jonah," I answered. "Anyways, so basically when I walked through the entrance I heard a bunch of laughing, it was the Why Don't We boys. I didn't look to see who it was until I was in line and they started laughing again. Keep in mind I had just found out about them the night before, so when I saw them I almost screamed. Luckily I didn't because that would've been embarrassing. So after Pey and I got our food we went to find a table, coincidentally the only open table was right next to there's. Probably not even 5 minutes after we got to the table, I fainted onto the ground. When I woke up I was in the hospital and the guys were there, and that's how we met," I finished.

"Why is that the first time I've heard that story from your point of view?" Jack asks.

"Maybe because you never asked," I say smiling. 

We continued answering more questions and then told them we were gonna meet some other fans. Jack and I are on our way to a new "group", when a girl accidentally bumped into me. We both ended up on the floor and she helped me up.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, are you okay?" I ask.

She pulled me closer so I could hear her whisper.

"If you would stay away from Jack I'd be perfectly fine. You're just an attention hogging wh*ore that uses him for fame and doesn't deserve him," She says.

After that she just walked away as if nothing happened. I honestly don't know how to react to that, like of course I'm not using Jack for his fame. Hell I didn't even know of him for more than 24 hours before I actually met him. But I also agreed with the girl when she said that I didn't deserve Jack. I met him out of pure coincidence, I was literally just a high school senior before I met him. I don't really know why he took such an interest in me, like c'mon it's me I'm nothing but average. At this point Jack was no where in sight, I guess he went on without me. He probably doesn't even know I'm not with him. I don't know why I'm thinking like this right now, I'm only making things worse. I'm one of those people that can get emotional from reading a book, like if a character goes through a break up and the description is that detailed I'll start to tear. So basically that's happening now, except it's not happening in a book to a fictional character it's happening to me, in real life. I start running to the nearest exit, because I knew what was coming, I'm feeling like that one character that just got her heart broken. I don't get why I'm feeling like this, things are going fine with Jack and I. Have you ever just gone into deep thought when you're by yourself, and suddenly you're sobbing quietly in the bathroom. Yeah that's me now except instead of a bathroom I'm crouched down beside the building wall. Luckily it's still light outside, so I can still see.

It's been about 30 minutes and it has only been about 5 minutes since I've stopped crying. I hear the door that I left out of open. I don't look to see who stepped out,because frankly I don't care.

"Caitlin?" I immediately realize who that voice belong to.

"Go away Danny," I say.

"Wait, have you been out here this whole time, Jack has been looking for you for the past half hour? Have you been crying?"
