today is the first day in days i have been able to regain my strength. i've been staying with tate and she's been helping me with my newest song. we're at breakfast right now and i'm texting my manager about the release details.
he says i have to go back to los angeles, the hidden stunt is breaking down social media and people are getting worried. i understood and told tate everything, thanking her for looking after me. we got home that night and i felt myself get anxious.
i sat down on the bed and tate sat beside me, holding my shoulders to face her. she wiped the tears from my eyes with her thumb and looked at me.
t- addi, it's okay, breathe
a- i-i'm sorry
t- don't be sorry, be excited to see jack again. do you remember, all those late night conversations, drinking tea by the fire and talking about how you didn't run from jack. don't worry, he loves you always, i know that.
i hugged her and she hugged me. but soon got up and got up my bag, filling it. i helped her and she smiled at me as we zipped it back up. we got an uber to the airport and tate took me inside. i hugged her tight and thanked her for taking me in.
t- what are best friends for?
a- love you loads, see you soon!
t- of course, send everyone my love
a- i will!
with that i was through the gates and on an airplane straight back home.

i landed and got an uber straight to logan's. when we arrived, i thanked the uber and took a deep breath before heading inside. i heard logan's comforting voice a mile away and ran outside to where i heard it. he was in the gym with people when he saw me and i ran to him. he got off the equipment and hugged me, kissing my head.
l- thank god you're okay
he called jake immediately and within seconds he was over, giving me the same welcome as logan. we went inside and i unpacked upstairs, while listening to the boy's music. when jack sang, my heart was full, i felt as if everything was at ease finally.
i was tired and fell onto my bed, going through social media.

i felt my eyes drifting but jolted awake when i heard familiar voices downstairs. it was them, my best friends. i ran downstairs and ran into whoever's arms. turns out it was daniel, he spun me around and i hugged him again.
eventually i had seen everyone except for jack, i turned and he had his arms open for me. it felt like it was meant to be, like he was my missing piece over the last few days. all i needed was jack but i was too stubborn to admit it, i just ran.
we decided to focus on the good things, like the fact that the weather was gorgeous. i went upstairs and changed into a bathing suit and met everyone back down. i walked out and started blushing as the guys were whistling.
jack dunked zach underwater, when he resurfaced he was laughing, wiping the water from his eyes.
j- that's my girl
jake and logan jumped in on opposite sides of zach and saturated him completely.
l- and our little sister
they splashed everyone and i got in slowly. jack swam over to me and i backed up as i didn't want to be pulled in. he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into the water slowly, i wrapped my legs around his waist and laughed as the water got deeper.
we spent the rest of the afternoon, swimming and listening to music. we went back inside, wrapped in towels and i ran upstairs, being chased by jack. i got in my room and tried to shut the door behind me but he was too strong, he pushed it back open.
he jumped on my bed and turned on the tv. i smiled and went into my bathroom, showering. once i got into my pajamas, i sat beside jack and we watched a movie. after five minutes, four heads appeared in my doorway.
i nodded and they ran into my room, jumping on the bed. we made space and eventually everyone fell asleep to the movie.

i woke up and it was dark out, everyone was still here but zach had made his way to the chair swing and fallen back asleep. i went downstairs to get some water and realised jack had followed me.
we sat down at the table and he held my hand in his.
j- let's go somewhere
a- what do you mean?
j- i want to take you back to australia
a- seriously?
j- yep and we're sorta leaving tomorrow night
a- that's perfect
i kissed him and he kissed back, we went back upstairs and fell asleep.
-time skip-
australia, i'm back.
