You're The One// Jake Kiszka

Frankenmuth, Michigan

Lex's POV
As we head out of the hotel, we all decide to drive separately in pairs. I was super excited to go back to Frankenmuth after so long. Jake was still tired, so I drove. I glance at him, all curled up in the reclined seat, facing me. His hair was in a messy low bun, and it made my heart flutter. Despite falling asleep, he held my hand tightly. I slowly release from his grip, being sure not to wake him, and put on some Chout, making sure to keep it quiet. I took his warm  hand once again, leaving me to focus on the road and the thoughts in my own head.

I drive under the massive sign for Frankenmuth, so I decide to wake up Jakey. I gently push his shoulder but he just mumbles.

"Jakeeeee we're hereeee!" I whine.

"Babeeee..." He whines back.

"Jake seriously, I'm gonna get lost." I say, cranking up the Alice In Chains unplugged album.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT I'M UP!" He jumps, strands of loose hair from when it was tied up now in his face.

I laugh as he attempts to blow it out of his face.

"You look so cute like that." I smile while going back to focus on the road.

"Stop." Jake blushes.

"Okay, now tell me where the hell we're going before I get lost."

Jake took my phone and put the directions into maps. It wasn't far, only a 15 minute drive from where we were.

"Hey Lex, Josh texted me saying he and Sam are already home, and Danny was dropped off at his house." He informed.

"Okay, cool. I'm soooo excited!" I responded.

"Me too, my mom and dad will LOVE you, I just know it." Jake smiled, Interlacing his hands with mine.

I softly started singing along to "Down In A Hole," then Jake turned it up even more and sang along with me.

"No need to be quiet... It's just me, you, and the road for ten more minutes." He reassured.

Driving and singing together, it felt like no time at all until we came across a large house with many cars in the driveway.

"Turn in here." He pointed.

I pulled in and shut off the car. He told me to wait a minute as he went and made his presence known to his family.

Jake's POV

"Wait here a minute, I want you to be a surprise to them." I smiled, then ran up to the door.

I knocked and Josh was the one to answer.

"Took ya long enough." He joked.

"Yeah, yeah... I want to see mom and dad so move your ass." I laughed.

"In the kitchen." Josh pointed behind him.

I walked back into the kitchen and was welcomed with warm hugs.

"Jake! We've missed you so much." My mom said.

"How was the tour?" My dad questioned.

"I've missed you too! And it's been great dad, I've been to so many wonderful places!" I responded.

"Nice!" My dad replied.

"We're so proud of you." My mom smiled.

"OH, I've got a surprise for you two... I'll be right back."

I ran back out and got Lex from the car, who was still listening to the album. Taking her hand, I led her back to my parents.

"Okay, mom, dad, this is Lex, my girlfriend. I met her while we were in Seattle!" I explained.
