Jasmine's POV

It had been a week since the article was published and everyone seemed to protect us whenever fans would throw tweets or any social media posts at us. Pip was back and performing with us thank goodness. Lin was always walking around recording everyone for Vine which was fun. Sometimes he would get us singing in the dressing room for giggles.

"Intermission!" I laughed while running under the stage. Pippa was busy getting her hair fixed while I still had a while before I showed up again.

"Jasmine you brighten my day." Groff laughed.

"I try to." I smiled while leaning on his dressing room doorframe.

"And there's Jasmine being Jasmine." Lin laughed. I waved at his phone and watched him walk into Groff's dressing room. They had the weirdest friendship, so I walked out before I got creeped out. I found Pippa after a while and she was still getting fixed up. I watched from the hall, looking at her from the mirror.

"Are you sure?" Her helper asked.

"I'm sure. I'm going to tell her tonight after the show." Her eyes were closed but she still looked beautiful.

"I don't know Pippa..."

"I know that when I tell her she'll be okay with it. Just trust me. Tomorrow when we walk in you'll see how much of a different it'll make." She said while opening her eyes. I decided to walk in and wave at her. "Hey." She smiled.

"You're ready for act two." Her helper said while walking out. Pippa stood up from her seat and walked over to me.

"You look cute." I smiled.

"Thank you. But you're cuter you know." She winked while wrapping her arms around my waist. I felt myself blush while I melted into her arms. She was wonderful to me. What did I do to deserve this much love and affection from someone?

"You should head to places. Intermission goes by quick." I frowned. She nodded and we walked hand in hand to her spot for the next song.

"You guys are too cute." Carleigh laughed.

"Thanks." I smiled. Pippa laughed a little and looked out at the empty stage. "Are you going to stay at my place again tonight?" I asked her.

"I should probably go back to my place... let my roommate know I'm at least alive..." She shrugged. I nodded and hugged her arm tightly. It was weird to think that a few months ago we were too afraid to even touch each other. Yet here we were holding onto each other as if the other was our life support.

"Places everyone!" Our stage manager called.

"Break a leg out there Eliza." I smiled.

"Knock em dead when you come out." She said while kissing my head. I went down to get ready for my song while she performed. Sometimes I would stay as long as I could to watch her sing, but it was really cutting it close that way.

While I ran back up to my place, Pippa was walking back from the restrooms. She smiled when she saw me in my Maria dress.

"Red suits you." She said while wrapping an arm around my waist. My arms found their way around her neck and I smiled. We shared a few kisses while we waited for our cues. Of course, she had to be taken away from me to sing with Renee and Lin. I couldn't wait to take a break with her when we had one. Maybe we could travel out of the country for a bit.... It would be nice.

Pippa and I decided to stagedoor together, fans completely blowing us away with their screams already. It wasn't a big crowd, but they were still a bit overwhelming. When we finished, we took our gifts back to the dressing room and sorted through them.

"So many screaming people." Pippa laughed. I rolled my eyes and opened up one of the cards someone had made me. Cute little drawings and notes later, we decided it was time to go. "Wait." Pippa smiled. "I feel like I should tell you something before we leave..."

"What?" I asked her. Her arms wrapped around my waist and she pulled me close.

"I just really wanted to say that I love you. You've made my life so much better. So I thank you for it." She smiled. I gasped and placed my hand over my mouth. She loved me! She really loved me!

"I love you too Pip." I smiled while wrapping my arms around her neck. "You've made my life so much better too." I whispered. She pressed her lips on mine and we shared a few passionate kisses before leaving. I held her hand while we walked through the city streets. I couldn't help but feel so happy. She was my everything. We took our usual turn towards the train station and I frowned. I didn't want to say goodbye again! "Are you sure you can't stay another night with me? Most of your clothes are already at my apartment..." I hinted. She let out a little laugh and looked back at the train times.

"Well... Looks like I already missed my train.. So, I guess I'll have to go with you." She smirked. I let out a little squeal and hugged her. We sat on the train, but in the good seats where no one could really look at you. We traveled all the way to my place and we hurried inside.

"Maybe we can actually sleep in tomorrow." I laughed. We didn't have a show until late at night so we could really sleep in.

"Yes. I'm so exhausted." Pippa frowned while setting her bag down on the couch. I bit my lip and lead her to bed with me.

"Then I'll do the work tonight." I smirked. Her face instantly lit up which caused me to laugh. "Someone's awake now." I teased.

"I'll take care of you too. Don't worry." She said while shutting the bedroom door behind us.
