Jake's POV
Despite everything that had happened today, Lex was back to being her smiley self. I hated what she went through, and that was the exact opposite of what I wanted her to feel, especially since I had been in her shoes so many times before. We had gone back to the van and drove to the paramount to do our final soundcheck of the tour. Seeing Lex light up during soundcheck motivated me to do my very best tonight.
"So, how're you liking things so far?" I questioned from the stage.
"Everything is great of course! Especially seeing my favorite person doing what he does best."
I blushed when I heard her say this.
"Hey what about us?" Sam called out.
"Yeah Lex, what about the rest of us? You can't have a band only made up of a guitarist." Josh crossed his arms sarcastically.
"Don't worry, you guys rock too!" She laughed.

I had stepped outside for a cigarette when Lex showed up next to me."What's up?" I questioned.
"You know that's bad for you Jake." She sighed.
"I know, I'm trying to stop." She looked over and motioned for me to hand it to her.
She took a drag, tilted her head up, and blew out. It was hot, not going to lie.
"Man, I haven't done that in so long." Lex admitted. I never knew she smoked. Something was off... I could feel it.
"So, back to the original question love, what's up?" I was concerned.
"It's really nothing, I'm just a bit stressed."
I left it at that because I didn't want to bother her about it.
"Oh! So on a lighter note," Lex took one more puff of my cigarette and dropped it to the ground, promptly stepping on it.
"I've wanted to ask about this for the longest time, but I had never gotten the chance to meet you and ask." She blushed and took my hands into her own.
"Oh yeah? Well, I'm here now, so spit it out!" I smirked.
"Well, I've wanted a Greta tattoo, specifically from you. I'd always dreamed of meeting you and getting 'you're my sunshine' in your handwriting." Her hazel eyes glossed over.
'Holy shit' I hesitated, thinking about how much I actually meant to her. It was unbelievable, and I loved her.
"Of course babe!" I squeezed her, picking her up and spinning in the process.
"Wait, really? Jake, thank you so much. I love you." Lex told me as I put her down.
"I'll go with you. How does tomorrow sound?" I questioned.
"It sounds wonderful!" She yelled out.

Lex's POV (trigger warning)Last night's final show was so fucking amazing. Seeing my baby up on stage. Getting to say that he's mine. Everything. I loved Jake so fucking much. Everything was happening so fast. I didn't know how to feel. I just wanted to sob out of happiness, but I couldn't help having this knot in my stomach about the future. I wanted to be with him forever, yet I felt like it wasn't going to last. I didn't know what it was. I hated having to hide the depression I was in. I couldn't help myself. The glowing clock read 3:33 AM. 'I can't fucking stop myself. Why do I have to be like this... why do I have to let everyone down. I just want- no need to feel something... anything.' These thoughts were racing through my head. I knew what I was going to do, and I hated myself for it. Slowly, I get out of bed, making sure not to wake up Jake.
