Two weeks later and I woke up in Las Vegas. It was August tenth and it was the second anniversary of Sarah’s death. The Jacks were both asleep when I woke up but Aaron was moving around.

“Aaron?” I asked.

He looked over at me, he looked stressed.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“Are you?”

“It’s been two years.” I said.

“I know.” He said.

“I miss her.” I said.

“Do you want to go get Banana splits?”

“Yes.” I smiled and slid out of the bed.

I grabbed clothes and went into the bathroom. I changed and brushed my teeth. I walked back out and slid on shoes. I grabbed my phone and kissed J’s forehead. I watched as his eyes fluttered opened slightly.

“Where are you going?”

“Out with Aaron.” I smiled. “Get some more sleep.”

“Have fun.” He said as I kissed his lips.

“I will.”

-----------------------------------------------

When Aaron and I got back to the hotel it was  almost one in the afternoon. The Jacks, Taylor and Matt were chilling in the room.

“Hey.” I said as we walked in.

“You guys were gone for like three hours.” J smiled.

“We went to get banana splits.” Aaron said.

“Why though?” G said.

Aaron looked over at me as I pushed hair away from my face.

“It’s the two year anniversary of Sarah’s death.” I said.

“Oh.” They all said.

“I want to swim.” Aaron said.

“Me too.” G and Matt said.

Aaron got changed and they all left the room. I sat on the bed next to J. I laid back and put my head on his lap.

“Are you feeling okay?” He asked, playing with my hair.

“Yeah, I’m feeling really good.” I said. “I mean last year I spent the day in bed crying.”

“I’m glad you’re doing better.”

My eyes traveled to his and I smiled at him.

“I should call my dad.” I said.

“Go ahead.” He told me.

I stood up and pulled out my phone. I called my dad and heard it ring twice.

“Ellie,” He said.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“I took the day off of work so I’m just cooking some food.”

“That’s good; Aaron and I went to get banana splits.”

“Well, I hate to cut this short but I do have stuff to do.”

“Alright, bye dad.”

“Bye.”

I hung up and went back over to bed. I laid back and put my head back on J’s lap.

“What did he say?”

“He was really sketchy but whatever.” I smiled up at him.

“You look so beautiful today.” He said.

I giggled as I sat up some. I kissed him and smiled.

“I love you.” He said.

“I love you too.”

I leaned forward and kissed him again. I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling it from my face.

“I have a question.” I said.

“What’s that question?”

“We’re still going to be together after tour, right?”

“Of course.” He said. “I don’t want to let you go.”

“Thank God.” I smiled and leaned in.

I placed my lips against his and he started tickling me.

“No!” I laughed as pulled away from him.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me on to his lap, wrapping his arms around my waist.

“I really love you Elizabeth.” He said. “Elizabeth Aspyn Palmer.”

I smiled and leaned back, my cheeks flushed and I felt my heart race.

“I really love you too.” I said.

He kissed my cheek as I stood and turned, “you know what I just noticed?”

“What?”

“We never officially confirmed our relationship.” I said. “To all of our fans.”

“Well it’s kind of obvious.” He said. “I mean Aaron literally posted a picture of us spooning and Gilinsky posted a video of us making out.”

“Well yes but I did both of those with Shawn and we weren’t dating.”

He chuckled and pulled me towards him. I sat on his lap, facing him. I smiled and kissed him. He fell back and pulled me with him.

“I hate you sometimes.” I laughed.

“I know.” He said and pushed hair from face.

“Are you going back to Nebraska after tour?” I asked.

“For a little while,” He replied. “Jack and I are going to search for an apartment in LA. Are you going to Louisiana?”

“Well yeah.” I smiled. “I want to move to LA but I need to situate things with my dad first.”

“Maybe you can move in with G and I.” He suggested.

“Mmm, living with you and G?” I asked, shaking my head.

He laughed and kissed my cheek.

“Plus, if I have my own place we won’t have to deal with anybody messing with us.” I said.

“That’s very true.” He laughed.

The door opened and we both looked over to see Aaron and G. I was still hovering over Jack.

“Again?” Aaron asked.

“We weren’t doing anything.” I said. “This looks bad but I swear.”

I rolled off of Jack and he sat up.

“I don’t even care.” G laughed and grabbed clothes.

He went into bathroom as I looked over to Aaron.

“Just don’t get pregnant.” He said.

“Oh my god.” I shook my head. “I hate you.”
