Chapter 32: Lights

ZACH
Did he, did he just ask, just ask me on a date? Oh my goodness. "So will you?" He asks. I blush bright red and nod. "Ok, cool." He smiles and walks off. I silently scream into my pillow once he left my room. "You ok?" Someone asks. "Victoria!" I shout, rushing up from my bed to give her a hug. We were childhood friends and I haven't seen her since our last show in Texas. "Hey! The boys let me in and I wanted to surprise you." She said hugging me back. "I also hear that Jack asked you in a date." She smirked, wiggling her eyebrows. I blushed and nodded. "Yes! I totally ship it!" She squealed. I laughed and followed her downstairs. "I'm assuming you know her?" Jack said is a jealous tone. "Yeah, we were childhood friends." I respond. He nods and sits on the couch. I sit next to him and grab his hand. "Are you jealous?" I smirk. "What? No, I could never." He says in a sarcastic tone. I roll my eyes. "We are just friends dummy. And before she knew I was gay way back in like 5th grade she liked me but I came out and she supported me so." I respond with a smile. "You're cute." He smiles. I blush and squeak a thanks. He rolls his eyes and checks the time. "Better start getting ready cutie." He smiles. I roll my eyes and get up from my comfy spot.

I couldn't decide what to wear. "Just wear something casual." Jack had told me before I headed into my room to change. I was so stressed. I finally just decided on some nice jeans and a sweatshirt. I go to the bathroom and comb my hair. I looked down at the noticeable scars on my wrist and quickly pulled down my sleeves. They weren't red anymore but you could tell they were there. Finally I finished styling my hair and made my way out of the house. I stopped and saw Jack leaning against his car, looking down at his phone. I smile and walk over to him. "Hey." I laughed. "Hey cutie." He smiles. I blush and grab his hand. "Let's go." He says. I nod and head into the passenger side. "Where are we going?" I ask. He just chuckles and ignores my question. It was a long drive, maybe a little too long. I was eager to see where we were going. The car finally stopped and I look out the window and see a small park. "We're going to a park?" I raise an eyebrow. "No. Follow me." He says, grabbing my hand. He drags me through the park as I just follow. Eventually we make it to a ledge. I stare in awe, looking at the beautiful sunset. "You like?" He smiles. "Of course." I reply, not breaking my gaze. "Look at this beautiful view." "I'm already looking at it cutie." He says. I break my gaze and see that he is staring at me. I blush and cover my face in embarrassment. He slips his hand around my waist and pulls me close to him. "So this is all we are doing. Just looking at a sunset?" I question. "We have to wait for the sun go down so I can show you what I want you to see." He responds. I huff slightly." What do we do in the meantime?" I ask. Without warning, he presses his lips against mine. I instantly kiss back, missing the feeling of his lips placed ever so softly on mine. I lips moved in sun until I couldn't see anymore. I opened my eyes and realize it's dark. "Come on." He says while pulling me towards the car.

The drive wasn't as long but I enjoyed seeing what it was like in LA at night, since I don't go out much. Besides when we're on tour of course. The car stops and I stare in awe. It was beautiful. It was a large Ferris Wheel. The lights shimmered perfectly in the night. "You like?" He asks. I nod and start running towards it. "Race you!" I shout. "Hey! That's not fair!" He shouts back while laughing. He brags me by the waist and drags me towards him. I giggle at his frustrated face. "You're lucky that you're cute." He chuckles. I smile and head over to the ticket booth. "Two tickets please." I ask. The girl nods while I hand her a five dollar bill. "I'm supposed to be doing that." Jack says. "I wanted to." I respond, grabbing the tickets from the girls hand. He groans slightly but follows me as I walk over to the line of people.

About ten minutes later we reach the front of the line. I was jumping in excitement since I have never been on one in a long time. Jack hands the guy the tickets and leads us to a booth. He unlocks the door and I practically rush inside, squirming in my seat. He closes the door and locks it. After about 5 minutes, it's starts and I jump at the sudden movement. Jack laughs lightly and puts his arm around me. Looking at the stars for once was actually quite relaxing. Without warning, Jack presses his lips against mine. Of course I kiss back. He asks for permission to enter and I decline, breaking the kiss. Even though I didn't want to, I wanted to savor this moment. He whines as I pull away, biting his lip. "Later." I wink. He nods a looks out the window. "Hey can you hold this for me?" He asks. "Sure." I respond, taking whatever he wanted me to hold. I look down and realize it's his hand. "You are super smooth Avery." I laugh. He laughs. "I know." He responds. The ride comes to a stop and of course I wanted to go again. "We cant. We have an early morning flight." He says shaking his head. "Please?" I whine. "No." He says, looking away from me. "Pleasee?" I whine again. "Nope." He responds, grabbing my hand and dragging me towards the car, for the third time tonight. I huff as I sit in the passenger seat. "You can't stay mad at me cutie." He smirks.

"After all, you're mine."
