Why Me?

Chapter 7 - forced separation

Jackson and I had been dating for four months now and things were just as great as the minute we first met.

We had been extra secretive, he would come to my house most of the time but occasionally we'd dress up and go out for a meal at the least busy time of the day or I would go to their dorm where they lived together and we'd all play games together.

I know their manager didn't like me from the very beginning but I think I grew on him over time, soon he would be playing Pictionary with us.

Everything was great except their CEO didn't seem to entertain the idea that Jackson, his star, was dating and out of the game.

Sure no body actually knew he was taken but Jack really wanted to tell his fans and the CEO was more than against the idea. I met him a couple of times and he really seemed to hate me. Jack just told me to ignore him since our relationship wasn't his business but in a way it was, if he wanted to get rid of me, it wouldn't be hard.

Cruel Zero were about to start their next world tour so I wouldn't be able to see Jackson for at least the next three months. It pained me to think about the nights I would have to spend without him next to me but I knew I couldn't go with him since I had my job to do too.

I decided to go with the boys to the airport and see them off.

I knew there were going to be a lot of fans that were there to see them off so I had to pretend I was staff.

I travelled to the airport with them but had to put on a cap, sunglasses and face mask once we arrived at the airport.

Girls started screaming the minute they saw the tip of AJ's toe.

"AJ I LOVE YOU!!"

He waved politely to them and continued his way towards the airport entrance.

"REN!!! YOU'RE SO HANDSOME!!"

"I KNOW!" He shouted back which was rewarded with a bunch of laughter.

"JOHNNY! MARRY ME!"

He just smiled but didn't comment which was surprising, I thought he'd be the one to come back with a snide comment.

"JACKSON! IS IT TRUE YOU'RE DATING?"

That question made everyone pause a little before we continued to walk like normal.

"JACKSON IS THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND??"

My heart was pounding so fast, I purposely wore clothes I would never usually wear today so I looked as little like me as I could.

We quickly made it into the airport where fans were not allowed.

"Oh my god, there were a lot of people today. More than usual." Johnny said once we got to a place where the fans couldn't see us anymore.

"You okay?" Jackson turned to me.

I was still fully clothed in my disguise so I could barely see him.

He took my sunglasses and hat off for me.

"Yeah I'm okay, it was just very... loud."

"I get that, you just need to get used to it." AJ told me.

I checked the clock and it was soon time for them to leave for their tour.

I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Jack quite yet.

I hugged him for a long time before he pulled away gently to look me in the eye.

I was starting to tear up which not only startled him but myself too. I never knew I could get this emotionally attached to anyone.
