Falling// Jack Avery

12

You woke up at 7 and your plane left at 12. You got dressed into your adidas pants, loose crop top, and some sneakers and your hair in a bun with no makeup. The boys got up at 8 and y'all went to eat breakfast. It was quiet and the boys didn't make as many jokes as usual. You were super sad about leaving your brother, your best friends, and Jack. Every now and then one of the boys would try to lighten the mood but it didn't really work. Y'all went back to the house and sat in the living room. Eventually it was 10:00 and you needed to get to the airport so you grabbed your bags and got in the car with all the boys. They were talking a little more than they were that morning. All you could think about was not having them around for 2 months. Y'all arrived at the airport and everyone went in. You did all of your things and then you and the boys were just sitting in the waiting area waiting for the lady to call your flight.

"Is it too late to cancel?" You ask
"Yeah you can't do that" Jonah says
"I want to though, I really want to" you say trying not to cry
"Hey, just remember you can call any of us whenever you need and it'll be like we're right there with you. Trust me. We all wish you weren't leaving" Jack Said and gave you a smile
"Thanks Jack" you said and smiled back
A few seconds after you said that, the lady at the desk said your flight would be boarding in 10 minutes
"Awww it's really happening" You said starting to tear up again
"Don't cry or I'm gonna cry" Zach said
"Too late" you said and started crying making the boys tear up
"I'm gonna miss y'all a lot and I never wanna leave" you said
"You know you have to go Maddie, you'll regret it if you don't" Daniel said
"I can't wait for May" Corbyn said
"I can't wait until I can hang out with y'all again because y'all are the best group of friends ever and I mean it" you said

Y'all had a big group hug. At this point all the boys were pretty much crying. You had about 3 more minutes left. You gave each boy an individual hug and then you got to corbyn and then it went to Zach and then jack
"I'm gonna miss not being able to play fortnite with you and hearing you make fun of Zach's awful fortnite skills" corbyn said making you laugh at the end

"I'm gonna miss you too Bean, maybe we can try to play fortnite while I'm in Texas"
"Definitely" corbyn said and then you moved to Zach
"I'm gonna miss you Maddie" Zach said while crying
"I'm gonna miss you too Zach" you said while also crying
"Don't do anything stupid while you're gone and definitely don't mess around with any of the boys and if anyone gives you problems just call me and I'll bring my gang"
"Trust me you won't have to worry about anything" you said
"Hey, I'm sorry for treating you like a 2 year old for most of your trip" Zach said
"Well thank you for trying to watch out for me" You replied
"I love you mads" Zach said
"I love you too Zach" you replied and gave him one last bear hug.
Then you moved to Jack. He immediately started crying once you hugged him which you did for quite a while.
"I'm going to miss you so much Maddie, you don't even understand" Jack said
"Trust me, this is about to be the hardest 2 months of my life" you said back
"Call me everyday that you can or even text me" Jack said
"Definitely" you said
"Thank you for making this the best trip ever and thank you for being there and just being an amazing friend" you said
"No, thank you for making my life 10 times better" Jack said and y'all hugged for a little bit longer and then let go.
Right about that time, the lady at the desk said your plane was now boarding.
"Well, that's my cue, I'll see y'all in May" You say and grab your bags
"Bye Maddie we love you" all the boys say

You showed the worker your ticket and took one last look before you boarded the plane. Jack was staring at you with tears in his eyes. He saw you looking and smiled and gave you a wink. You smiled back and then turned around to board the plane. As the plane took off, all you could think about was Jack. You missed him so much. A few years fell from your eyes and ran down your cheeks. You got your phone out and looked at Instagram to see that jack had posted on his story. It was a boomerang of your plane leaving. It had a countdown until you came back and "☹️". You couldn't stand to look at your phone because it just had a bunch of memories of LA. You decided to just play a few games on your phone and sleep. A few hours later, the plane landed and you grabbed your bags and went into the airport. You were greeted by your parents and Allie. Allie ran over and hugged you.

"Maddieeeeeee!!" She said
"Allieeeeeeeeee" you said back and laughed
"Oh my gosh I missed you so much" she said finally letting you go and letting you breathe. "I missed you too, I've been stuck hanging around 5 crazy guys" you said and laughed and the your parents came over
"Hi mommm hi daddddd!!" You said and gave them both a hug
"Did you have fun?" Your Mom asked
"Just about the most fun I've ever had" you said
"Well that's good I'm glad you made it back safe" your dad said

Y'all talked a little bit more and then you all went out to the car and loaded your bags and started to drive home.

"Did Zach and the boys take good care of you?" Your dad asked
"Yes, Sometimes zach was a little too protective but it was fine" you said and laughed a little bit
"What do you mean too protective?" Your mom asked
"Oh um well, Zach doesn't want me to date any of his friends because he says it's weird and a bunch of other stuff and I was apparently spending too much time with one of the guys so he got a little angry but we apologized to each other so it's nothing to worry about" you said
"Which guy" your mom asked
"Oh...Jack.." you said worried about what they were thinking
"Oh, he's cute, and super nice" your mom said
"Yeah Jacks a good guy" your dad said
"Yep"
"Well do you like him" your mom asked
"Well, um..."
"So yes, you like him" Allie said joining the conversation
"Hey I never said I liked him" you said and hit Allie in the arm
"Well you sure were taking a long time to say you didn't" Allie said and smirked at you
"You're annoying" you said
"Does Zach know you like him" your dad asked
"If Zach knew anything i probably would have been sent back here earlier"
"Oh okay" your mom said
"Do not tell him anything though because if you do he won't let me come back in May" you say
"Okay I won't, I promise" your mom says
"Dad, Allie, y'all too"
"I won't" Your dad and Allie say
"Good"

Y'all rode back and talked about other things and then when you got home you and Allie went up to your room to hang out.

"Ok now tell me more about this Jack stuff" Allie says
"Ok but everything I tell you stays between me and you because no body but me and jack knows this stuff" you say and hold out your pinky
"I promise" she says and gives you a pinky promise
"Ok so, me and Jack had been flirting a little bit and we both had a connection and anyways we all went and had a photoshoot and jack knew this really cool place but it was up a big hill and the others were tired so just him and I went up there. It was beautiful and then after we finished, we were packing up and we both reached for one of the lenses and his hand went on top of mine and it was like something out of a movie." You said not being able to contain your smile
"Aww that's cute" Allie said
"Yeah and so then after that it was super awkward so we went back to the boys and Zach could tell something was up but he didn't find out and then a few days later we went shopping and Jack and I wanted to go into Zumiez but the others went into PacSun so me and Jack were in Zumiez alone and we were messing around and he was riding one of the skateboards and so I wanted to try it so he helped me and I fell and he caught me and then boom we kissed" you said
"Woah woah wait you kissed?!?" Allie said practically screaming
"Yes now be quiet" you said
"Sorry...so did y'all only kiss once?"
"Well we went to Santa Monica Pier yesterday and Zach let me hang out with Jack and we went on a few rides together and then we went on the Ferris wheel and I sat by him and then we kissed because he said he wanted to kiss me one last time before I left"
"No. Way." Allie said
"Yes way"
"Wait but y'all aren't dating"
"Oh I forgot that part, sooo after he kissed me in Zumiez, he asked me out but nobody but you knows" you said
"You're dating Jack Avery?!" Allie said
Right about that time your mom walked in....
