Jacksons POV:

It has been 2 long months since I last saw Dylan. Long story short, I’m on tour and Dylan is in London. We both decided it was what life had planned for us.

Right now I am in Kansas City for Arctic lights.    

The tour dates were already set before Dylan told me about London. He had been thinking about visiting for a while, but I never thought he would actual go.

It isn't right to say that I had no idea about the trip because Dylan would tell me about it all the time. I just thought we would go together.

I know what this looks like.

But I refuse to believe there's something wrong.

“Yo Jackson!!!” I heard from outside the tour bus. I got up from my bunk and walked down the hall. Bryce and Tayler swung open the door and jumped in the bus.

“Yo J! We are going out to eat. You coming?” Bryce asked with excitement.

“Yeah! I think Dylan is going to call though. Can you wait a minute?” I said grabbing my phone off my bed.

“Sure! Just come grab us when your ready man!” Tyler said.

“Young Love!” Bryce said in a high voice.

“Shut up. Lets go!” Taylor laughed, pulling Bryce out the bus.

I quickly grabbed my phone and jumped in my bed. Dylan said he would call me when he got home from the movies with Noah. Noah is Dylan's friend from the UK. They both met online and became instant friends. I guess Noah has been a great tour guide for Dylan. You know, being British and all.

You might be wondering why Dylan went to London on his own. Well here's some back-story.

FLASHBACK:

Dylan and I were sitting in our room watching 13 Reasons Why when he brought up the idea of visiting London. The day before, we had gotten into a fight about trust and our relationship. Basically a guy came on to me at a club and Dylan got really jealous.

Moving on though.

“Hey babe?” he said quietly.

“Hold on babe, this is getting intense.” I said with my eyes directly on the T.V..

Dylan reached for the remote and pressed pause on the show.

“What's going on?” I said confused.

“I just need to talk to you about something.”

He looked nervous. Almost apprehensive to speak.

Dylan was making me nervous.

“So you know how I’ve been talking about London.”

“Like visiting….London?”

“Yes.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“Well, I have been talking to Noah. He has been really informative and helpful.” Dylan replied. “He told me that he has a friend that rents out rooms for tourists. Which would be perfect for me.”

“You? Just you?” I said in shock.

He sat there staring at me.

“Well?” I asked.

He suddenly grabbed my hand.

“Yeah, just me.”

“For how long?” I asked.
