Jack Avery • Gabbie Gonzalez

10. Connection

We go back to the WDW house. Me and Jack go to his room just to hang out. Once we get into the room he closes the door and I get on his bed.

He comes and lays next to me and I sit up and turn towards him and just stare into his eyes. We stay like that for a good 10 minutes until my phone rings. I look at the contact and it's my brother. I answer it and he says that I have to pick him up from basketball practice. "Hey Jack I have to pick my brother up from basketball practice" "Oh ok do you want me to come with you?" "No it's ok unless you really want to" "Yea lets go" "ok" we go downstairs and Jack tells the guys we'll be back later.

We get in the car and turn on the radio. Dead by Madison Beer came on the radio. I said to Jack "This is one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite people. Did you know that I helped her write this song and we're really good friends" "No I had no idea" I just nodded and turned up the radio. I started to sing along.

You could be here, but you're there
You could be anywhere and these days I don't even care no more
You only be showing me love whenever you've had too much
Whatever's been filling your cup, no more
Baby, no more showing up when you're not sober
At my front door just to say you're alone tonight
Yeah, tryna fuck me and my mind up
It's a reminder you're a liar and you know I'm right
You say you can't live without me
So why aren't you dead yet?
Why you still breathing? (why, why?)
And if you say you can't live without me
Then why aren't you dead yet?
Why do you say that?

I was really getting into the song

You could be here but you're not, I give whatever you want
But you just take it and run, you run (oh run, run)
And I give you so many shots but you just drinking 'em all
You never give it a thought, oh love (yeah)
Baby, no more showing up when you're not sober (sober)
At my front door just to say you're alone tonight (alone tonight)
Yeah, tryna fuck me and my mind up
It's a reminder you're a liar and you know I'm right
You say you can't live without me
So why aren't you dead yet?
Why you still breathing? (why, why?)
If you say you can't live without me
Then why aren't you dead yet?
Why do you say that?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why aren't you dead yet?

Jack just looked at me in shock he didn't know that I could sing

Be careful what you say
Say only what you mean
Mean to me then you're nice
You're nice, you're nice
It's nice to know you now
Now that it all went down
Down on your knees you cry
You cry, you cry, yeah
You say you can't live without me
So why aren't you dead yet?
Why you still breathing? (why, why?)
And you say you can't live without me
Then why aren't you dead yet?
Why do you say that?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why aren't you dead yet?
Why, why, why, why?
Why
Why aren't you dead yet?

J-"Why didn't you tell me you could sing?!?!" G-"I don't know I guess it just never came up" J-"Well you are an amazing singer" G-"I'm ok but you're way better" J-"What are you talking about you can sing you are amazing at it too" G-"Thanks. Well we're here so I'll just text my brother" J-"Do you want me to drive?" G-"I mean if you want to then sure" Jack nods and we switch seats. Now he's driving. My brother gets in the car and I tell Jack where to go.

      They dropped of Gabbie's Brother

We dropped of my bro and we're going back to the WDW house. J-"How about we sing together" G-"What song" J-"How about love lies by Normani and Khalid?" G-"Yes I love that song" J-"Ok but I'm gonna record it" G-"Ok let's go"

Sorry if it's hard to catch my vibe, mmm
I need a lover to trust, tell me you're on my side
Are you down for the ride?
It's not easy for someone to catch my eye
But I've been waitin' for you for my whole damn life
For my whole lifetime
Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)
I see you're focused, yeah you're so independent (independent)
It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)
You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen
So baby, tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies

Our voices fit so well together

I've been so into your mystery
Is it because of our history?
Are you into me?
When it feels so good, but it's bad for you
Can't say I don't want it 'cause I know I do
Come on over, I need your company
Cravin' that synergy
Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)
I see you're focused, yeah, you're so independent (independent)
It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)
You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen
So baby, tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies
Tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies
If you're down, don't hide it
Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it
Baby you gon' make me overnight it
Tell me, are you down?
If you're down, don't hide it (yeah)
Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it (yeah)
Baby you gon' make me overnight it
Tell me, are you down? (Tell me)
Tell me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)
Waste the day and spend the night (waste the day, spend the night)
Underneath the sunrise (underneath the sunrise)
Show me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)
Tell me where your love lies (show me where your love lies)
Waste the day and spend the night (yeah, yeah)
Underneath the sunrise (ooh)
Show me where your love lies

We got to the WDW house when we were in the last part. When we finish the song me and Jack just look into each other's eyes. We started leaning in until Jacks phone starts to ring. We pull apart and we blush. He answers the phone and I get out of the car and go into the guys house.

Once I get into the house I'm greeted by the guys. "Where did you go and where is Jack" asks Jonah "We went to go pick up my brother and drop him off. Jack is in the car on the phone" Just then Jack walks in the door. J-"Hey sorry that was my mom. Let's go upstairs" G-"It's ok" We wall up the stairs into his room. J-"Hey when are you leaving?" G-"Um I don't really know. Whenever really" J-"Ok do you think you could stay another night?" G-"Yea probably let me just ask my mom" I text my mom and she says that I can stay another night.

G-"My Mom said I can stay another night" J-"Ok do you wanna look at the video now" G-"Yea sure"

(Just pretend that it's Jack and Gabbie)

J-"Oh my god we need to show this to the guys they will freak" G-"Maybe later. Let's just hang out for now" J-"Ok" We just talk and then somehow I end up sitting on Jack's stomach. We stare into each others eyes. Jack started to sit up which meant I was now straddling him. We started to lean closer and our faces were and inch apart.

He kissed me and I kissed him back. We pulled apart and then kissed again. I got off of him because it was quite a sexual position. We started talking again just like nothing happened but we were holding hands. Then Corbyn walked into the room and told us to come downstairs. We got up and went downstairs.

J-"So why did we have to come downstairs" C-"Because.....
