Once I felt his lips on mine, I lingered there before I realized what I was doing.

I opened my eyes and moved back.

"Um" I mumbled.

"Um" he repeated.

We ended up saying that for two minutes before I got off the bed.

"We weren't supposed to do that" I say quickly, running my hand through my hair.

"I know" he says in disbelief.

"I'm gonna go. This never happened" I say pointing between me and him.

"Right" he agreed and I exited the hotel room and walked quickly to my new one.

When I got in there, Violet was laying down, on her phone, with a movie playing in the background.

I closed the door and my eyes were still a bit wide.

"Hey. What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost" she laughs and I smile quickly.

"Oh, nothing. I was running over here and thought my asthma was kicking in" I lie and she nods.

I head to the bathroom, to go to the bathroom, got out and laid in my bed.

I couldn't sleep.

Like I literally didn't go to bed until 4 am.

And she scariest thing was

I actually liked the kiss.

We were in the elevator to go to the cab to go to the next venue.

Jack was on one side of the small room and I was on the other side with Jacob who had an arm wrapped around my shoulders protectively. Violet and Walker were in the middle of us.

"Look Kayla, I'm sorry-"

"I don't want to talk to you right now" I cut him off before the doors opened and we were walking outside and into the cab.

When we get to the venue, I stayed by Brent and Jacob and every time Jack would try to talk to me, I would move closer to Jacob and ignore him.

It wasn't until after the show that he managed to pull me aside.

"Look I need to explain. You're not letting me freaking explain" he says grabbing my arm.

"What" I sigh.

"Ok so that kiss, it meant nothing. She's a total bitch and I really don't like her. She forced me into that kiss. She was flirting with me and I told her to stop and then after the concert, during the after party, I was with Payte and Nash and she yanked my arm and I saw a big guy with a camera before she kissed me" he explains and I sigh.

"So if I ask Payte and or Nash, they would say that?" I ask and he nods his head frantically.

"I love you, Kayla. Only you. And I'm just hoping that you will be the only girl I'll ever love for the rest of my life and I don't want some stupid bitch to break us up" he says meaningfully and I sighed again.

"I still think we need a break" I say running my hand through my hair.

"What? Why?"

"Because I kissed Jacob" I say looking down.

"When?" he asks sadly.

"Last night. I was sad and I went to his room for comfort and he was comforting me. I was sad, he was there and it happened. It meant nothing but I think we just need a break" I explain and he nods.

"I'm not mad about that just to put that out there. I'm a bit sad but I'm not mad at either of you. I still am deeply in love with you" he says sincerely, grabbing my hands and resting his forehead against mine.

"I love you too" I whisper and before I saw him leaning in, I walked away.

We were now on the plane back home.

I was next to Walker and Violet was with Jack in the middle row of the plane.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Jack glance at me sadly once in a while and the look in his eyes broke my heart.

I think it was a good idea breaking up because when we get back home, I know Matthew will definitely get consequences for me and I don't want Jack to be one of them.

I was doing this to protect him.

Throughout the flight, I fell asleep and when I woke up, we were just above Wisconsin and were soon to land.

Once we landed, it was around 8 pm and Walker had that rental car again.

We drive back in awkward and tired silence.

We exited the car and went to our homes and for me, I went straight to sleep, not really seeing if Aunt Lynn was home or not.

Jack's POV (hell yeah)

I glanced at Kayla.

She had her head against the car window, lip syncing to the song on her phone.

I really wanted I kiss her. Random, but I did.

The only thing that was keeping me from total insanity was the fact that I knew she still loved me.

She told me and the look in her eyes told me.

Once Walker stopped by Kayla and I's house, we exited the car in silence and entered our houses.

Nobody was home because everyone was on some sort of business trip like always so I went to my bedroom.

Before I walked up the steps to my room though, I heated up a poptart.

Classic.

I got to my room but was too lazy to unpack so I decided to scroll through Twitter.

A lot of tweets were about me.

And they weren't nice.

They differed from

'OMG Jack! Why would you do that to Kayla AND WITH THAT BITCH!'

'JACK AND MADISON WTF! I bet Kayla's heart broken. wow Jack, dick move'

I decided to get off of twitter and go Instagram hoping that there would be nicer things

But no.

There were pictures of Madison and I kissing.

UGH!

I exited out of that too.

I decided to just lay down, looking at the ceiling.

I feel horrible.

I'm such a dick.

I lost the one I loved the most.

I couldn't help it.

I decided to take a warm shower to relax.

I practically stood in there for like 10 minutes, contemplating about life, and then came out.

I got dressed in a t shirt and sweats and went to bed.

I woke up and it was dark.

The main thing I noticed though was

I was in a totally different place.
