Falling// Jack Avery

17

You woke up at 9:00 and got a quick shower. You threw on some adidas pants, tennis shoes, and a school soccer shirt. You went to the boys rooms and banged on the doors instead of texting them, because it's funnier to make them mad :) They all we're awake and getting ready. When you got to jacks room, he opened the door not knowing who it was. He didn't have his shirt on and it looked goooooooood.

"Woah there" you said and covered your eyes trying not to look
"Oh my bad lemme get a shirt on" he said and ran and threw on a shirt
"Okay anyways, I was just coming to make sure y'all were almost ready, we have to hangout before y'all leave, I want y'all to meet some of my friends too" you said really fast because you were super ready to go
"Okay okay, but are any of your friends even here? We're 3 hours away from where you live" Jack asked
"Yeah, they were at the game yesterday but they didn't see me cause I was talking to y'all" you said
"Oh, okay. Well I'm almost ready, I'll come down to the lobby in 5" he said
"Okay see you then" you said and went down to the lobby where the rest of the boys were meeting you.

After everyone was done and in the lobby, y'all hopped in the car and drove to a smoothie shop almost exactly like the one you and your friends went to in town. When you got there, Allie, Rylan, and your two other friends Katie and Peyton. Peyton and Rylan were the two guys of the group and they had been friends with you for as long as you can remember and Katie and Allie had been friends with you since elementary school. You introduced the guys to everyone and Zach caught up with them because he used to know them (obviously). After that y'all all went shopping and hung out. Y'all posted Instagram videos of each other like usual and they got reposted..like usual. People were saying Jack and Rylan had beef because they were fighting over you. You showed the guys and it was pretty funny.

"Y'all should make a funny fight video for the fans to show that y'all don't have beef" Jonah said
"Maddie why don't you and Rylan fake date for a while so they won't think you and Jack are dating, do I need to tell them that y'all aren't aloud to ever be a thing?" Zach said
"No because I'll get hate because I literally just told the fans we were best friends, and why can't you just accept the fac...why can't you just stop worrying sometimes" you said almost exposing yourself.
"Woah woah wait what were you about to say" Zach asked
"I wasn't about to say anything" you said trying to cover it up hoping he would think he heard wrong
"You definitely almost said something" Daniel said
"Yeah we all heard it Maddie just go ahead and say it" Daniel said and the other guys shook their head in agreement
"Wow thanks guys" you said
"I didn't hear anything" Allie said
"Okay Allie, we all know you're lying" Corbyn said
"I was just trying to be a good friend" she said
"Guys stop talking, Maddie what we're you saying, I'm not gonna let this go" Zach said and you could tell he was serious and jack just looked at you and nodded for you to tell him
"Fine..I was gonna say, why can't you just accept the fact that...the fans think me and jack would look good together" you said and looked at jack who was grinning because he knew you were lying.
"Wait..that's not that bad" Jonah said
"Why would the fans think y'all are cute together though" Zach said still curious
"I don't know Zach why don't you ask a fan" you said
"Alright I'm gonna tweet it right now" he said

He did and answers immediately started coming in. Most of them were just saying we were cute together and they sent pictures of you looking at him a certain way, and the way he looked at you, and all the Instagram and Snapchat stories he had posted.

"Okay this is enough, let's go back to the hotel" Zach said
"No, I'm not ruining today because of you, if you want to go back, you can, but you can explain to mom why you're back without us" you said

Zach just rolled his eyes and y'all continued shopping. Y'all just kind of threw the whole thing aside and acted like it never happened but you knew Zach was gonna talk to you about it when you got home. Y'all went into several stores and you bought a few things. It was time to go because the boys had a flight to catch. Zach wasn't able to talk about everything that happened because he had to go. Everyone loaded into the car and went to the airport. It was just like the first time except this time they were the ones leaving. You have them all big hugs and when you got to Zach he said he was calling you when he landed and you already knew what it was about so you just sighed. You got to jack and his hug was a little longer than everyone else's. You loved his hugs. They were so warm and soft and you never wanted him to let go but you knew you had to. Finally the boys had about two more minutes left until their plane boarded and everyone was sad so yuh tried to lighten the mood

"Hey atleast it's only a month this time and not two" you said
"Yeah but still, I'm already thinking of how it is without you and it's not fun" Jack said
"Yeah, it's not as exciting around" Jonah added
"We're gonna miss you Maddie" Daniel said
"Well I'm gonna miss y'all too" you replied
"We're still FaceTiming though" Zach said
"Definitely" Corbyn added

The intercom announced that their flight was boarding so they all had to leave. You gave them all one last quick hug and watched them board the plane. You left after they were gone and you got a little teary eyed. Rylan was driving you home and noticed you were sad.

"Hey are you okay" he asked you
"Well I miss them and it's been like 5 minutes and I still have a whole other month left" You said
"Well yeah true but hey you've already made it one month so you can do it again" He reassured
"Yeah i guess you're right" you said
"Now one question" Rylan asked
"Okay...go for it" you said
"Are you and Jack dating because we all know you were about to say something else at the mall and I noticed you gave him a pretty long hug in there" he said
"Well...it wasn't that long of a hug was it"
"Nope, it was pretty long" he reassured
"Dang it...we really want to keep it secret because if the wrong person finds out it could be over in a heartbeat, but I trust you" you said
"Oh I knew it" Rylan said
"Wait what?"
"I could tell y'all were dating"
"How?" You asked confusingly
"Maddie, I've known you since PreK, I know when you and a guy are dating" Rylan said
"True true" you said and laughed
Y'all drove back to the hotel and everyone packed up and went back to town. You slept most of the car ride home because you were exhausted.
