Jack's POV

Yesterday David brought his daughters to join the rest of tour. At first I was so angry because the two left over bunks could've fit Cait and Peyton. But there's nothing I could do about that, so I just let it go and tried to be nice. His daughter Aspen is my age so I hung out with her more than Atallia. She's friendly I guess, but it's like I feel something off about her.

Today we have our Philadelphia show, we just finished sound check and we're waiting for the limelights. The guys and I each tweeted a different food that we like in the beginning of tour. Even though it's only our fourth show, we have a whole stash of Oreos, watermelon, nutter butters, gushers, cheese its, peanuts and a whole lot more. Zach has sworn multiple times he's going on a diet, but I keep catching him eating more Oreos. Fans are so supportive, but I miss Caitlin. Aspen has been keeping me company though, we always hang out on the bus.

There's a notification that I got a missed FaceTime call from someone. I open up the app me see Caitlin tried to FaceTime me yesterday before the show. I was talking with Aspen and I guess I didn't feel my phone vibrate. Well it's 3:57 p.m here so it's around 1:00 p.m there, Caitlin should be up. I press the FaceTime button and it starts to ring.

"Jack?" She says.

"Hey babe!" I say.

"Hi, why are you calling?" She asks.

"Oh I saw I missed your call yesterday so I called you back,"

"Right, I wanted you to meet my friend Lili.
HEY LILI COME HERE!"

I wait for a minute and see another girl pop up on the screen.

"You must be the infamous Jack Avery," Lili says.

"And you must be Lili,"

"Good guess," Lili says.

"Where's Peyton, I kinda miss her," I say.

"Awww wittle Jacky misses me? I'm flattered," Peyton says in a baby voice while coming into the frame.

"Whatever don't let it get to your head," I say.

"So how's tour?" Caitlin asks.

"Great, David's daughters joined us," I say.

"So I've heard," Caitlin says.

"What do you mean? From who?" I ask.

"Daniel told me last night," She replies.

"Huh?" I say.

"Yeah, after I tried to call you, I called Daniel so Lili could meet one of you. And he said that you were hanging with Aspen," she says with her head down.

I feel terrible, before I can say anything Aspen comes up to me.

"Hey Jacky, who's this?" Aspen asks while she wraps her arm around my shoulder.

"This is my GIRLFRIEND Aspen," I reply.

"Hi," Caitlin says.

"Hello," Aspen returns.

"HEY JACK CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A SEC?!" Eben yells for me.

"Hey Aspen can you hold my phone real quick, talk to them bond," I say.

When I come back I see Aspen and the girls laughing. I'm glad they are getting along.

"Hey babe, I gotta go, but I promise I will text or call you later, I love you," I say.
