30 - Crash

February 8, 2017 (Continued..)

"Janelle?" I head a familiar voice call out.

By this time, the other girls have already headed out into the auditorium to get their seats. It was only me and the boys in the room now.

"H-hi, Jack." I quietly mumble.

"What are you doing here?" He sounded angry.

"I'm here to see your show."

"We will give you some alone time." Daniel adds, leading the other boys to another room.

I look down at the ground, hiding the broken look on my face. I could feel Jack staring at me, waiting for me to say something.

"Why would you come though, I thought you hated us." Jack finally said, getting quieter as he said the sentence.

I hesitated to answer, "I missed you guys."

"Right, you were probably just forced to come. By our mothers, I'm assuming?" I gave a slight nod. "I knew it. You wouldn't come for us, just for other's satisfaction."

I stayed silent, not knowing what to say. I've never heard Jack so mad before, making me feel bad for what I did. And I should be, I cheated on him with his bandmate. I don't deserve to be here, I don't deserve him.
Suddenly, a voice echoed through the room. It was their manager, Dave, calling them to the stage. I looked up at Jack, he was as broken as me. The other boys came in, dragging Jack away. I guess I should go to my seat..

I stood silently in the front row, watching as the boys do what they loved. Every song they sang, I knew the lyrics by heart. Every line, I knew the meaning to it. It's something you learn when you are friends with the boys, and something you could never forget.
As the boys sang their last song, I could feel water fill up in my eyes. I was proud of the boys and everything they have accomplished, especially Jack. Even though he hates my guts, I could never forget the songs we sang as kids. Our memories in Pennsylvania, and how close we were. I miss those times, when we had no care in the world.
The show ended and I headed off to Limelight. I walked into the room with all the other girls, but I didn't stay. I couldn't be in the same room as the boys right now, so I ran out the back door and onto the streets. I wasn't there for them when they need me, and it breaks my heart knowing that I did this to myself.

~Jack's POV~

The bros and I walked into Limelight and got ready for the meet and greet. We were pumped for that show, and we still are even after it. I sat around, talking to some fans. Something didn't feel right, though. It felt like someone was missing. That's when it hit me..

"Janelle," I mumbled under my breath.

Zach, who was sitting next to me, looked at me confused. "What did you say, Jack?"

"Janelle, she isn't here." I said quickly, fear rising in my voice.

"She probably left, I'm assuming that it was too hard for her to see you."

"Me? Why me?"

"Well, you are her 'best friend.' And you, as her friend, blew her off earlier. I mean, you forgave me. But it doesn't seem like you did the same to her.."

I thought about what Zach said, and he was right. I eventually forgave Zach, I mean, he is my bandmate. But Janelle, my best friend, she matters so much more. And I didn't give her shit when I saw her earlier. I'm such a idiot.

"I need to find her," I said snapping up from my seat. The thing is, I don't know where she would be.

"I will come with you," Zach added. I nodded and we ran out of the room.

Zach and I were looking for about 10 minutes, probably missing the meet and greet. But it didn't matter now, we had to find Janelle. Zach and I kept running around, trying to find her. No luck.
We ended up running in my mom and sisters, it was amazing to see them again. I thought, maybe they know where Janelle is.

"Hey um, Mom?" I asked in a rush, hoping for an answer.

"Yes, Jack? What's wrong?" Concern was filling her eyes, she knew something was wrong.

"Do you know where Janelle is? She didn't show up to Limelight." My mom was shocked, hearing the news.

"No, hun. I have no idea where she is." I slowly nodded my head and ran back to Zach.

"Any luck?" He asked, hoping for the best.

"No, she has no idea where Janelle is." Zach sighed in defeat.

    That's when we heard a large sobbing nearby, I could recognize the crying from anywhere. Zach must of heard it too and ran off in the direction of the sobs. I ran after him, hoping it was who we were looking for. I turned the corner to see Janelle in the middle of an empty street.

"JANELLE! GET OUT OF THERE!" Zach shouted, trying to get her attention.

She looked over at us in pain, "NO, I CAN'T. I CAN'T HURT YOU GUYS AGAIN."

"NELLIE, PLEASE. I'M SORRY, I REALLY AM. JUST GET OUT OF THE ROAD!" I shouted, begging her to come over.

     All she did was shake her head. Janelle's sobs were getting louder, she can't be doing this. I saw a light flash in the corner of my eye, looking over to see a car driving towards us. It was moving at full speed, not seeing Janelle.

"JANELLE, WATCH OUT!" I shouted, it was no use. She was gone, and nothing I could do.

"JANELLE!" Zach shouted again, this time running into the road.

    There was a large crash as I fell to the ground, helpless. I managed to crawl over to the car, seeing Zach on the ground covered in blood. I heard voices calling to me, but I ignored them. All I could do was stare at Zach on the ground, this is all my fault.
    I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, pulling me into a hug. I didn't need to look up to know, it was Janelle.

"H-he's gone.." I mumbled, broken on the inside.

"It will be ok, J-Jack. Daniel called an ambulance, they are on their way." Janelle whispered to me.

    I shook my head, this was all my fault. I had to get so mad at Janelle that she wanted to kill herself, and Zach risked his life to save her. Thoughts circled around my head, tears falling down our faces. It should of been me. I should be the one almost dead, not Zach. He did nothing to deserve this, and now he's gone.

I don't know how I could forgive myself..
