Tonight we were in Washington D.C. and the show is about to start in a couple of hours. Nobody has said much to each other. Corbyn was somewhat trying to fix everything at the moment before the show. As for me I tried to stay as far away from Jack as possible.

"Look Leena I have no feelings for Zach." Kayla repeated for like the millionth time.

"What about the camping trip?" Leena asked.

"That didn't mean anything, we're best friends Leena we just wanted to hangout." Kayla explained.

"The kiss with Kayla was nothing either I just did it for the game and I know I shouldn't have, I wasn't thinking I'm sorry Leena." Zach said.

"I guess I overreacted a bit, I'm sorry too Zach." Leena says.

"Thank goodness one problem is fixed!" Corbyn sighed in relief.

"I promise it wasn't even a full on crush Clara I only found him attractive but never did I think about dating him." Tanya said.

"What about the kiss?" Clara asked.

"Oh they didn't really kiss I just blurted it out to take attention off of me, I'm sorry." Kayla laughed.

"Thank goodness!" Clara smiled.

"I only love you Clara." Daniel says giving her a hug.

"Another problem fixed! Now about Lex and Jack... I'm not gonna mess with that." Corbyn shook his head.

I sat on one of the chairs placed backstage. Clara, Daniel, Tanya, and Jonah both walked towards me and I sighed knowing this was coming.

"Lex I'm sorry, but just because I kissed Jack doesn't mean I like him, he's cute but he just isn't my type. I don't like people who look like our past presidents when their hair is straight. Plus we all know how offended Jack gets if he isn't called attractive." Clara laughed.

"It's okay Clara, I forgive you." I smiled.

"Good cause I need my Lex back I had nobody to eat ice cream with at 2 am." Clara laughed.

"That's you guys!" Daniel exclaimed.

Clara and me just shrugged. We always snuck in the kitchen at 2am to eat ice cream and whatever else we could find back at home. Tanya nudged Jonah and he coughed a bit before he spoke.

"Lex, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It's just that I felt like it wasn't my place to tell you what Jack did and I felt really uncomfortable again I'm sorry." Jonah sighed.

"At least one of you would care about how I would feel." I said as I looked down at my feet.

"We good?" Jonah asked me.

"Yeah, we're good." I grinned as I gave him a hug.

"Thank goodness!" I heard Corbyn yell and we all laughed.

"Wait Lex.." Clara started.

"Whats up?" I replied.

"If you don't like Jack then how come you got really pissed when I kissed him?" She questioned.

"Or the fact that you said you were over what happened between you two but you're still thinking about it?" Tanya smirked.

"I am over it..." I stuttered.

"Mhhm okay." They all said as they walked away.

An hour left till show time. I was waiting for the meet and greet to finish up as I was backstage with August and Angie.

"You're not okay." Angie stated.

"Huh?" I said confused.

"You're not okay, about you and Jack." She repeated.

"How do you know?" I questioned.

"Jack came crying one day at a photoshoot." Angie answered and I nodded.

"Can you blame me? If that was your boyfriend who was also your best friend whom you've dated for 3 years and spent 18 years of your life with and just one day broke it all like it was nothing would you be okay?" I tried to explain.

"No I see where you're coming from, I feel like I would never be able to recover but it takes time and a lot of patience but you'll get there I promise." Angie said before she left.

I felt my phone vibrate and I took it out of my pocket unlocking it. Seeing it was Jack who tweeted I just stared at my screen. Lex why the fuck do you even have his notifs on?

Jack * WHY DONT WE
let's just have fun tonight

"Lex!" My head snapped up to the direction of the voice.

"Its your time! Go kill it." Zach smiled.

I fixed my hair as Daniel handed me my mic. A piece of tape attached to it that held my name. I gripped on to it as I breathed in. Before I got up stage I heard another voice.

"You got this."

Ignoring it I went up the small steps hearing the screams right away. I turned to my right to see a not so happy noodle head. Feeling a small amount of guilt in me I ignore it and continue with what I'm suppose to be doing.

"Okay this first song is called Perfect by Ed Sheeran. Let's get going!" I smiled.

not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
but darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
and in your eyes you're holding mine
baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
when you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
but you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight..

We were halfway through the show. Right now we took a break and we're just talking to the fans. Lex was on my mind though. It bothered me so much on what she did, the whole sabotage thing but I tried to ignore for now. I came back into reality when I heard my name.

"Jack?" A fan asked.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"What's it like to have Lex as your best friend?"

"Whats it like? Honestly it's the best feeling ever. She's everything you would want in a best friend, she's there to listen when you have a problem and she'll always be there for you. She's not to serious and can take a joke, full of energy and always has some story to entertain you. She'll be there at your good and bad moments and most importantly she'll be there to help chase your dream." I smiled

"Aww."

I blushed as I heard the fans and the boys.Every word I said I meant. Girlfriend, best friend, partner in crime.. she was all of those things it's one of the many reasons that made me love her. I guess I took advantage of something so valuable, I didn't realize I was lucky till it was actually take away from me. Never take things for granted..
