✔︎ Simple Beginnings || Zach Herron

Jack's Pov

It's been weeks, and Paige still hasn't left her room. I felt as if the whole situation is my fault because I knew Zach was okay yet I decided not to tell her. I've tried talking to her but she's closed herself and wasn't answering me, it honestly hurt me watching her be this upset every day. Somehow I needed to make this all up to Paige. I was talking to my mom in the kitchen about how to lure Paige out of her room when it hit me; I had to go back to LA soon anyway, and instead of going back alone I should somehow get Paige to come back also.

Paige's Pov

I've only felt numb for what seems like forever, I wanted to stop hiding in my room, but I knew my mom or Kack would obsess over me if I ever did.  Like almost every day Jack started knocking on my door, but this time instead of leaving after a few minutes Jack didn't stop.

"what do you want," I mumbled out. Jack slammed open the door startling me all of a sudden as Jack rushed towards me with a mischievous grin on his face. I squealed as Jack swiftly picked me up and threw me over his shoulder while he stormed downstairs into the car; He tossed me into the trunk and slammed the door shut. I thought how illegal this must be but decided to stay put at not fight back, as I could anyway.

A few minutes later there were a few sounds of ruffling and a sudden jerk of the car moving; I crashed on the side of the vehicle in pitch blackness. No idea where I was headed I hoped Jack wasn't giving me up for adoption.

After what seemed like hours Jack opened the trunk blinding me for a few seconds before hopping out and looking around at my surroundings. It was a few seconds until I realized I was at the airport.

"Jack, why are we here," I questioned.

"well, since I needed to go back to LA and I didn't want to leave without you because I would feel so bad with the state you were in, you're coming with me!" I took a step back baffled by what Jack had told me; the guys don't want to see me, what if Zach's there? It would be too awkward.

Jack held me shoulder steady and looked solemnly into my eyes; he slowly said everything would be okay which helped me calm down. Jack went into the backseat and hauled out three suitcases and handed two of them to me; I was surprised he packed some things for me considering he probably hasn't ever touched a bra in his life. I laughed at my thoughts as I followed Jack inside the airport and through security.

As we waited for our plane to board Jack was nearly asleep beside me, I whipped out my phone and snapped a photo of him before running away.

"Get back here," Jack yelled catching the attention of everyone around him; I kept running until I reached the women's bathroom. Jack would do anything but not go to the bathroom with me. I finally went back to the seats after countless pleads from Jack, I walk passed him completely disregarding him. 

Once we boarded the plane, I looked straight out the window even though we weren't flying yet. 

As the plane rose up into the clouds, I noticed out the corner of my window a rainbow; it wasn't normal though; since we were so high up in the sky the rainbow was a circle, I was in awe as the clouds turned a light pink colour as the sun set behind the iris. Jack was leaning on me trying to take a peek at the view before I flicked my hand back, slapping his face. He rolled his eyes and put his earphones back in and bobbed his head forgetting what just happened.

If I didn't already say, Thanks for 3k views! There are only a few chapters left surprisingly, I have an epilogue planned, but that may or may not come out in a while. Expect the book to be completed in the next week or two, depending if I feel inspired to write.
