*A few months later*

I laughed at something Taylor said before Autumn shushed him, because Shawn was singing. I looked down at my outfit and smiled slightly. Aaron Carpenter tank, since he insisted. Tucked into skinny jeans with red vans, and a red beanie. 

Shawn finished and I clapped with everyone else before Shawn smirked. "Okay so as some of you might have noticed, Mr. Gilinsky is not here." He said and my smile faded. I hadn't heard from Jack all day. "Well he's actually-"

"Right here." Jack said into a mic and walked onto the stage. He winked at me and I laughed before he pulled up a stool next to Shawn. "Okay so as some of you know, Lacy and I have been dating for a good five months now." He said and I smiled to myself. "I've known her since the sixth grade, and I've also liked her. Since the sixth grade. And when you like somebody for that long, like turns into love. And the love you have for that person grows stronger. So this is me, expressing how I feel about Lacy, through somebody else's words." He said and Shawn started strumming. 

Jack sighed before holding the mic to his lips and started singing. 

"When I look into your eyes

It's like watching the night sky

Or a beautiful sunrise

Well, there's so much they hold

And just like them old stars

I see that you've come so far

To be right where you are

How old is your soul?" 

I covered my mouth with my hand as my eyes started to water. Jack kept eye contact with my through out the whole song, and in the middle of the song he stood up and walked over to me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me onto my feet, while singing to me in front of thousands of people. 

"I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up, still looking up."

Eventually Jack finished the song and I was lightly crying. I smiled at him before crashing my lips into his. When I pulled away he rested his forehead onto mine and smiled widely. 

"I love you Lacy." He said and I laughed a little. 

"I love you Jack." I said and he kissed my forehead. 

-

Jack carried me into the hotel room and threw me onto the bed, causing me to laugh lightly. I was extremely tired. "You're adorable." He said and sat on the foot of the bed. 

I smiled at him and he stood up. He kissed my forehead, spending shivers down my spine and smiled. "I love you Lace." He said and I smiled back. 

"I love you Jack." I said and he smiled before walking towards the door. 

"Stay." I asked and he turned toward me and smiled. 

He laid down net to me and I cuddled into his chest before drifting off into a peaceful sleep. 

-

I heard the door slam open and then stomping sounds were heard. "Lacy get the hell out of that bed." Cameron roared and I jumped from the volume of his voice. 

"What?" I asked and rubbed my eyes. 

"You have no business sleeping in the same bed together Lacy." He said and I scoffed. 

"What are you, my father?" I asked and he rolled his eyes. 

"Gilinsky! Out." Cameron yelled and Jack got up with a loud huff. He kissed my temple before walking out 

"What the hell Cameron!?" I yelled when the door shut. 

"I could say the same thing! And I will! What the hell Lacy!?" Cameron yelled and I scoffed. 

"You're ridiculous! We weren't doing anything!" I yelled and he let out a laugh. 

"I doubt that." He mumbled, a bit loud. 

"Are you implying that I'm some whore that sleeps with everybody I date?" I ask and he rolled his eyes. 

"Not every guy. But I'd be surprised if you two hven't yet. He's Jack. And you're Lacy. Not always the best combination." He said and I felt myself tear up. 

"Cameron what the fuck are you saying?" I asked and he crossed his arms. 

"I don't want you two sleeping together. You're only 17 Lacy. You shouldn't even think about that shit." he said and I looked at the wall next to me, trying to swallow the lump in my throat and fought the tears. 

"Cameron why do you always think I'm trying to have sex with somebody." I said quietly and he sat on Autumn's bed. "We slept. Nothing else. He didn't even take his shirt off. Autumn slept in Taylor's bed. Why am I getting the lecture?" I asked and he stood up. 

"Because Autumn didn't go through what we did, when Casey died. Autumn doesn't know what it's like to loose one of her sisters because she was fucking raped Lacy." He said and I broke. That was too far. 

"That's what this is about!?" I yelled and he flinched. I'm loud as hell when I yell. " Fuking Casey!? You think Jack's going to rape me and kill me!? God Cameron you're so stupid!" I yelled and he broke eye contact with me. 

"That' not what I meant." He said and I let out a small laugh. 

"it doen't matter what you meant. What matters is that you feel like you're the only one that went through Casey's death Cameron. I went through it too. I broke just as much as you did. If not, then more. And you know how I recovered? Jack. Jack was there to let me cry. He was there to talk to me. He was there to listen to me. And he was there when you were out, dicking around and drinking your fucking feelings away." I said and was now right in front of him. "So don't tell me that I can't sleep in the same bed as the person that's been there, every step of the way. You're just pissed because you bailed when things got bad." I said and walked towards the door.

"That's not true Lacy. I didn't bail when things got bad." He said an I sun around quickly. 

"The divorce. You Left and slept at Nash's for a week. Leaving me at home to deal with mom and dad yelling and fighting around the whole damn house. Casey dies? You party every night of your sorry life for god knows how long. You found the cuts on my thighs? You left again, to Nash's house. Usually when a brother finds out his sister cuts herself, he doesn't run away to his best friend's house!" I yelled and he laughed silently. 

"So now it's about me spending more time with Nash?" He asked and I shook my head while looking at the ground. 

"You don't get it." I said and turned back to the door. 

"I guess I don't." He said and I walked out of the hotel room to find everyone with shocked expressions. 

Cameron and I fight, but it's never been this big. 

"Lacy I-" Jack reached for my hand but I pushed it away from me. 

"Don't." I said and walked away from the group. 

"Lacy!" He yelled and I shook my head, as the tears started to spill.
