Everything else was a blur. Why Don't We came to Logan's apartment, they were comforting me, Logan was getting plane tickets to Ohio, and I just couldn't help but silently cry. My best friend... was in the hospital. If this was her boyfriend I am going to go up to him and stab him in the freaking heart.

"Jessi, I found some but we have to go tomorrow." Logan said to me.

I couldn't say anything, I just nodded while wiping away tears.

"Awe, Jessi... it will be okay." Jonah said while putting his arm around me. I didn't need him comforting me. I just wanted him to go away. What was his problem in the first place? He yelled at me when I "slapped" that girl. Did he like her or something? I don't even know. I just couldn't bring myself to push him away.

The boys sat beside me while I'm sulking. What happens if she dies??? I'm totally at a loss for words right now. How?

After a few minutes of them sitting beside me, I got up and went to the balcony. Everyone's eyes were watching me. All I wanted to do was to just be alone. I went to the balcony, sat down on one of the beanbags and watched Kong run back and forth. I also watched the party that was beside our place.

Eventually Zach came out and sat beside me. We didn't say anything for the first few minutes. Until he broke the silence by saying, "Jessi... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." He said while trying to look into my eyes. My eyes met his and I quickly looked away.

"I-I don't know h-how I feel right now. E-everything is just. I don't know. Happening too fast. By that I mean... Amber is in the hospital... you were mad at me and now your not. I-it's confusing." I said in between sobs. He put his arms around me and kissed me on the cheek.

"I understand. I'm just saying I'm sorry. I will still love you even if it takes you a long time to love me back." He said while putting his head on my shoulder. I kissed his head and relaxed.

Jack came out and he looked like he had tears in his eyes. He sat on the other side of me and sighed.

"You okay, Jack?" I asked

"I don't know..." he said trailing off his sentence

"I'm sure both of us are going through a hard time, but we have to stick together." I said to him while putting my hand on his shoulder and patting it. He looked at me and kind of smiled.

"She's mine Jack, get your own." Zach said trying to lighten up the mood.

We all laughed and Logan opened up the balcony door. He poked his head out and said,

"Come on Jessi, you need to pack."

"Okay." I said while untangling myself from Zach. The guys followed me inside and sat on the couch while I went to go pack. After about 30 minutes of packing, I went into the kitchen and got a granola bar.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around. It was Jonah. Just great.

"Hey... um. I am so sorry for yelling at you." He said while looking at the granola bar that I had in my hand.

"Well thanks for telling the granola bar that." I said while rolling my eyes

Jonah sighed and looked at me. "I'm very sorry." He said

"Thanks..." I said

He smiled and walked away. I opened the wrapper on my granola bar. Then saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was coming closer to me. I turned around and it was Zach.

"You scared me!" I said while slapping him playfully

"Sorry! But anyways, the guys and I are leaving." He said

"Okay, be safe." I said while hugging him

While I was hugging him I started eating my granola bar.

"What are you doing- oh. You like the granola bar better than me?" He asked

I giggled and kissed him on the nose.

"No, I like you better than the granola bar." I said and pushed him away.

"Bye Jessi." Zach said

"Bye." I said and Logan shut the door behind them.

I did my nightly routine and went to bed.
