You're The One// Jake Kiszka

Hold My Hand And Stay A While

Lex's POV

I presented Jake to my mom and dad. They were pissed that I was with him, telling me he'll just use me, then kick me to the curb because he's a rockstar. Yet here I was.

"Mom, dad, this is Jake... my boyfriend." I was terrified. My dad would probably put on an act as usual, and my mom would just act how she does when we have company over.

The both of them stood up to get a look at us both.

"So this is the one you chose? He better treat you right, or else someone's gettin' an ass whoopin'." God I hated the way my dad acted. He always drove everyone I dated away.

Jake looked down at his feet, then back up at my dad.

"Paul, don't be like that!" My mother butted in.

"Hi Jake, I'm Danni. It's wonderful to meet you!" She gave him a quick hug, and he let go of my hand to reciprocate it.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs.Steinhauer, and you as well sir." Jake said as he held out his hand to my father.

He shook Jake's hand, surprisingly.

"Well, maybe you aren't as bad as I thought."

We talked a bit about tour life, where I'd be for the summer, and how we met. It was actually a pleasant conversation. I hadn't had a decent one with my parents in a while.

"Anyway, we have to get on the road to get to the venue tonight. It was very nice meeting the both of you." Jake politely said.

He hugged my mom and shook my dad's hand once more.

"You'd better take care of her Jake!" My father told him once more.

"Have fun you two! And please check in every once in a while." I hugged my mom and dad, said goodbye, and we were out the door.

"I'm glad everything went well, and I'm sorry if my dad was overwhelming." I apologized.

"Everything's good babe, don't worry. I think they like me, wouldn't you say so?" He asked while dragging along the case filled with my clothes.

"Hopefully..." I blushed. He gave me a quick peck on the lips and loaded the case into the back.

"Josh is probably sleeping, so we should be quiet." Jake warned.

We got into the bus, and sped off in the direction of the Paramount.

Eventually we arrive and I help everyone take their equipment in.

"Hey Lex, looks like Sage is here!" Danny yelled out as he carried his bass drum.

I look over and she doesn't say hi to me, but goes and practically jumps into Josh's arms. Understandable, but I was a little disappointed. She spots me and walks over.

"Hey babe!" She pulls me in for a hug, and I hesitantly embrace back. It's probably nothing, but my mind wandered.

"Hey! Sorry I haven't texted much, I haven't really been on my phone." I laugh.

"No worries. Any important updates?" Sage asked right as Jake came up behind me, grabbing my waist with a beer in his other hand. He kissed me, and Sage lights up.

"Hi Sage." Jake looks at her, smiling.

"Lex you didn't tell me this." She grinned.

"Oh, um yeah, heh. We're together now." I looked at Jake next to me. I was blushing.

"That's AMAZING! I'm so happy for you two! I'll see ya both inside." She smiled and followed Josh inside.

"Shall we?" Jake asked, pointing to the door.
