Wren's P. O. V.
"What was that?" I asked sitting up. Jack sat up too and listened as another branch snapped.
"Let's get out of here," he said.
"What if it's an animal? Won't it like chase us?" I asked.
"I don't think it's an animal, but we'll go slow."
Jack and I hopped off the rock then slowly started walking out of the forest. We heard another snap, and I jumped.
"Sorry, that was me," Jack said
"You scared the crap out of me!" I whispered. We made it back to the car and we both got in.
"So...wanna finish what we started?" Jack asked looking at me with hopeful eyes. Instead if answering, I smirked and hopped into the backseat. Jack took his jacket off then hopped back there with me and instantly put his lips on mine.
Jack took my shirt off revealing my black lace bra.
"Shit," he whispered before attacking me with kisses again. Soon, we were both in our underwear. Jack started to slide mine off, but my phone rang interrupting us.
"Don't answer it," he said sucking on my neck while I looked at me phone.
"It's Em," I said. He sighed, pulling back. I sat up and Jack slid behind me, holding my back against his chest, and kissed my shoulders as I talked to Em.
"Why have you been ignoring me?" She asked once I answered.
"I'm kind of busy right now, can we talk later?"
"No, we need to talk about dad."
"Em, I'm not doing this right now."
"You need to. Just listen-"
"No, you listen to me. You don't understand what I went through Em. You don't realize how much his actions affected me. I can't just go be in the same room as him and act is if everything is fine. You don't think I've tried to forget what he did? I don't want to live my life being afraid of my dad, but that's how it is right now. I can't go see him Em, you both need to understand that," I said before hanging up.
I was crying but I didn't care. Anytime I talked about him I burst into tears. Jack was rubbing my thighs and kissing my shoulders, which comforted me. Something about Jack always comforted me.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can do this tonight," I told him.
"I know, babe. It's okay." He reached for my clothes and handed them to me. I put on my jeans and stole Jack's jacket, putting that on instead of my shirt. Jack got dressed too, then we moved back to the front. My phone dinged.
"I swear if it's Em-" I cut myself off seeing that Jonah had texted me. He told me to watch Aspen's live on instagram.
"Wait Jack," I said before he pulled out of the parking lot. I went to Aspen's account and pressed on her live.
"I have something to confess," she said. I looked at Jack. "When I say this, I know you're all gonna go hate on one of these people, but really you should all just hate on me... No one told me to do this or anything like that, I decided on my own..... Jack and I broke up a few days ago, but really we were never really dating. Jack wanted Wren to be the photographer for their tour, but their manager, my dad, said he would only hire her if Jack pretended to date me. I didn't know about this until recently, so I thought it was all real. I know, my dad did the wrong thing but he just wanted me to be happy. He did this because of me so don't hate on him. And Jack only went through with it because he's really good friends with Wren and he wanted her to get the experience of that kind of photography. And she deserves it. She's an amazing photographer, and an amazing person. She should have gotten that job because of her talents,not because my dad made Jack do something stupid."
"Why is she doing this?" Jack asked.
"I felt like I should be the one to clear things up and be honest because I know Jack wouldn't have told the whole truth. He would've protected my dad because he's that kind of guy. I just thought that you guys should know the truth, so thanks for listening. Please don't spam the guys or Wren or my dad with hate, they don't need that stress on top of their tour."
"Wow." I clicked out of her live.
"I know."
"Should I call her?" He asked.
"I would." He pulled out his phone and called Aspen.
"Hey... I saw your live... Thank you, but you didn't have to do that... I know but it wasn't your fault... Your dad isn't your responsibility... I know... How are the comments and stuff?... I'm sorry... If I get hate that's my fault, not yours... Okay, again I'm really sorry... Thanks, bye."
"How is she?"
"She's fine, but didn't really wanna talk about it. She just didn't want anyone else to get hate."
"I don't get why people don't like her, she's so sweet."
"Yeah." Jack started the car and drove back to Zach's house. I stopped Jack before he got out of the car.
"Thank you for tonight. Even if it didn't end as expected, I still had a lot of fun." I smiled.
"Me too." I kissed him.
"I love you."
"I love you too." Jack kissed me again then got out of the car. We walked in holding hands and everyone was asleep. This time, Sydnie and Ava had fallen asleep on the love seat which meant Jack and I got the air mattress.
We both went and showered then got under the covers on the air mattress. Jack wrapped his arms around my waist, and I faced him so I could kiss him anytime I wanted through the night.
He kissed my lips, my nose, and my forehead before resting his head on the pillow and going to sleep. I snuggled into him rubbing my face against his neck before settling and falling asleep as well.
